CAPTAIN SCOTLAND BEFORE THE COURT.

Charge of Indecent Assault.

At tho Polico Court, this morning, before H is Worship, Mr H.G. Soth Smith, R.M., William Scotland, master of tho ship Crusader, surrendered to his bail, and was charged with having, on the sth March, on board the Crusader, whilo that vessel was on the high sea 9 bound- from London to Auckland, indecently assaulted a female passenger named Mary Bushby. Mr Hudson Williamson (Crown Prosecu tor) :—I do not know that thero is any neces sity for Captain Scotland to tako his place in the dock. This is a misdemeanour, and as suoh it may be triod in the absence of the defendant altogether. I certainly do not wish him to take that position. Mr E. Hesketh (who at this moment entered the Court): I understand that this is a charge of indecent assault, your Wor ship. I therefore ask that my client, the captain, may be allowed to stand near mo.' The defendant at once took up his posi tion behind jMr Hesketh'a back. The Crown Prosecutor: In this case noainst Captain Scotland, your Worship, I appear, under the direction of the Govern ment through the Immigration Ofiicer of thi. port (Mr Oliver Mays), for the prosecu tion. The -prosecution has arisen out of complaints mado against tho captain by some female immigrants of tho Crusader, of which vessel he is master. It appears that she left London on or about the 6th of February last. Although not an immigrant vessel, she had on board certain second class and steerage passengers who wore coming out to New Zealand. Amongst these passengers were two girls, named Mary Bushby and Eliza England Oak. ford, who had applied to tho Agent-General for passages to Now Zealand but for some rea«on or othor tho Agent-General does not appear to havo found them berths on board an ordinary immigrant ship, and therefore they wero sent by the Crusader. He has the power, when an immigrant vessel is not available, to forwaid immigrants by othor vessels upon their paying part of the passage money to the ship-owners. Accordingly, the complainant in this case, Mary Bushby—paid, or her friends for her—a fu.t].or sum of £1. Of course, in a caso of this sort, the girl's story will bo vory critically and carefully examined, and as ihe question is entirely one of credibility, it |k necessary that I should say a few words as to the complainant's antecedents. Sho will tell the Court that up till tho timo that she left home she lived with her mother, who is a widow,, at Shoreham, paying oc casional visits, hpvairor, to an aUnt r and that sho never was out at service, or em ployed in any.factory, shop,.or other estab lishment. It appears thatshe mot with aMr and Mrs Brown, who wore coming out to New Zealand by tho Crusader, and, that hearing'of this intention on their part, she either proposed to them, pr; they propused to her, that alio shpuld go witb-them. Sho accordingly took passage as companion to, Mrs Brown, and I understand that it was this lady's intention, with Miss Bushby's assistance, to start as a dressinakor upon their arrival here, tho complainant's, mother having made some arrangomont with Mrs Br-own as to hor caro and custody. However, for some reason or other, she gave offence to the Browns on tho passage I believo the reason was that she became encaged to the steward, Philip Bridges, and that the Browns did not like this, as they _aw in it a speedy termination to tho arrangements thoy had mids. 1 believe, this was the reason. As a result of it, there was an open rupture betweon them, and sho did not oommunLeate further with them during the passage after hor engage ment to Philip Bridges became known. Some four oi- live wooks after the vessel started on her voyage this assault took place. In tho first instance the girl will tell tho Court that the Captain had pre viously whileen the poop made usoof indecent expression-1, which she resented, and that ho subsequently assaulted hor in tho cabin while she was playing the piano. [Iho Crown Prosecutor here indicated tho naturo of the a.sault.. Shortly afterwards he was in the cabin of the girl Oak.ford, who was lyint' there very ill, when he called the com plainant into the room, and putting his arms around her waist, pulled her down uKon tho end of the girl Oaksford s bunk. fflw Crown Prosecutor hero described what ensued]. Before, however, ho could ef_«.t his purpose the girl managed to escape from him; This is tho gist of the charge of assault made against the captain. Tho eirl Oaksford was seriously ill at tho time f indeed, all the passengers thought that she w»b about to die, and as the ship, not having the necessary number of passen c-srs. had no surgeon, the captain performed all the offices of attending to tho sick and dispensing medicines, assisted by the Steward Bridges, who had formerly been employed in an hospital at Home. Amongst bis other duties the captain commenced the vovaze anspiciously by reading prayers ever? Sunday, but in the course of tho voyage that practice was dropped. It was in pursuance of his medical duties that ho «__ in the cabin with Miss Oaksford when he called Miss Bushby, and tho former .girl will therefore corroborate the complainant c statement in so far as seeing him push Miss Bushby dewn. and then feeling the weight at both of them on her legs. The room was very dark at the time, but I have had a eketcb plan prepared which will show the position of the bunks and the situation of' tbe cabin. It appears that there nii very littlo lleht in the cabin, although the offence took place in the middle of the day, and ..either of the girls is consequently able to eav whether the captain's dress was dis ordered, nor to tell of other little matters which under other circumstances would bo determined specifically. There are one or two circumstances, however, which will corroborate thiß statement. For instance, it appears that aftor the girl's escape from the captain, she went up on to the poop, and that sho refused to come down again for dinner. Bridges, whose duty it was to call her to dinner, will speak as to this fact and will also state that she appeared ereatly distressed, besides describing her General demeonour. She does not appear to have mentioned the matter to any person on board, and she will accotrtit for this by saying that she did not want to have an open rupture with tho captain, as she knew that he would subject her to all sortß of petty tyrannies and annoyances throughout the remainder of the voyage. It is woll known that captains of vessels have supreme control on board, and that-they havo therefore the powpr rf making the voyage comfortable or the reverse to their passengers. As soon, how ever, as the ship reached port and Miss Rushbv landed, she made her complaint known atbead porters. The Court having TrSSfwas Uien adduced as follows:- Mary Bushby was sworn, and deposed that she 'was a socorid-clns. passenger on t C us-der from London. Captain Scot- SSS Urter.

LATEST POLITICAL NEWS.

Ifi'HOM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.]

Wellington, this day Tho Political Situation..

As regards the political situation, matters aro in statu quo, and this order of tilings will obtain till Tuesday, when tho nature of tho Ministerial recommendation to tho Go vernor will transpire. It is impossible to surmise what course they will take, but it will be ono which in their opinion will most embarrass the Opposition. Tho general belief is, however, that thoy will do either of two things—recommend the Governor to gran, a dissolution, or adviso His Excel lency to send for Sir George Groy, as I pointed out yesterday. The latter action would, in my opinion, be playing directly into the hands of Sir Georgo Grey, and, indeed, of the whole Opposition, as the great proconsul would then have an oppor tunity of formulating a policy, and if it did not find favour with the Houso ho could go to tho country on it. Should, however, the Opposition be composed to go to the country without one dotinibe policy, or rather .with a dozen indefinite ones, I do not see that a general election could better their condition. Sir Goorgo Gray's Intentions. I have soon Sir Goorgo Groy, and ho states that ho is prepared for any ovontu .ality. In the event of a dissolution ho intends again visiting the largo contres of population and expounding his views. His health continues good, and he is in excellent spirits. Tho City Constituencies Question. It is more than probable that both sides of the House will join in agreeing to pass tho measuro for tho amalgamation of city constituencies. I know that Mralitoholson and other Ministers are exceedingly desirous that it should become law boforo tho general election, and though Sir Goo. Grey baa not definitely decided what to do in regard to it, it accords with his senti ments. John Bright on Electorates. In matters of electoral reform, John Bright, the great English Liberal, is kept po»ted in New Zealand affairs, and takes a great iuterest in the politics of the colony. He wrote last mail to a gentleman, whoso name I am rot at liberty to disclose, advo cating the amalgamation of electorates with identical interest. Sir George Grey's Denunciation of tbo Ministry. Sir Goo, Groy considers that tho Govern ment have acted in an unconstitutional and unjustifiable manner in taking part in tho business of the House as a Ministry ofter the adverse vote. He contrasts it with his own action in tho crisis in 1879 On that occasion, immediately aftor the defeat of his administration on a motion of no-confidence, a ,comn>ittee was ap pointed to draw up an addresss to tho Governor; the address was read a first and second time : on the next sitting day the Speaker reported having deliyored the address to the Governor, when Sir George Grey at once roso and stated that Ministers had tendered their resignations to the Governor, and they had beon accepted. Sir John Hall then reported that ho had been sent for by the Governor, and had accepted tho task of forming a Ministry. He then moved the adjournment of the Houso, which Sir Georgo Grey seconded. Government Intentions. It is apparent tha* Government had no intention of taking the House into their confidence ot all last night. Major Atkin son in his remarks cartly said they would be guided by the advice of their friends, and not by the desire of thejr enemies. After Sir Geo. Grey's scathing denunciation of Ministerial action, however, Mr Brveo was put up to inform the House that Government intended acting in a constitu tional manner. Sir George Grey and City East . In the event of a goneral election Sir Geo. Grey will again stand, for City East; at any rate, he states that at present he sees no reason for a change. I have it from a personal friend 'fit Mr Stout's that he intends .contesting Mr W. •Green's seat at next election. Mr Bryce states ho would sooner break stones on the road than ask the House to bear tho cost of his prosecution of Kusden. Auokland Petition. Mr Swanson to-day presented a petition from Auckland : merchants ro pilotage exemption certificates. The Effects of tho Crisis on Auokland Interests. The member for Newton thinks that before the adverse vote was carried against the Government, tho Auckland members should have Been that it deeply affected Auckland interesssto have passed into law tiio Timber Floating Act, Harbour, Elec tions, Friendly Societies Amendment, &c, to say nothing of the railway route nnd Auckland railway station. Ihe crisis is almost certain to delay the latter work for months. Kawakawa Railway Dispute. I learn that the matter in dispute between Mr Larkins, contractor for Kawakawa Railway, and the. Government, has been amicably Bottled. The Ooverpment. Policy. - Intended Resignation. An informal meeting of Government sup porters was held to-day, at which fully three fourths of those present expressedthe opinion that Government shouljd re.jgn, leaving to the Opposition tl>e responsibility of forming a Government. Sir Julius Vogel is expected to arrive here on Tuesday, Mr Hamlin has a petitipn to present re the Gazello case.

The Feeling In Waikato.

Cambridge, this day.

The defeat of the Government was re ceived with general satisfaction both here and at I-.ihil.ihi, and the action of the mem ber for Waipu in voting against them may be termed popular. The cause of the datis, faction may be ascribed to Mr Bryce's pro posed nativo landlegislation.which is looked upon here as anything but promising.

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

A WELL-KNOWN SHAREBROKER

SHOOTS HIMSELF,

Financial Embarrassment Supposed to be the Cause of the flash Act.

The very recent melancholy suicide 'of Captain Lilewall ha. been closely followed by another occurrence of a similar nature under equally distressing circumstances. It was reported to the police at a late hour last night that Mr William Pickett, a well known sharebroker, had committed suicide at his lodgings in Wellesley-street by shoot ing himself. Detectives Hughes and Walker and Conßtable Norwood and others proceeded at once to the residence of Miss Griffiths, grocer, where Mr Pickett has" long been a lodger, and found that the report was substantially correct. Pickett hod only a few minutes previously taken his own fife by shooting himself through the heart. The body still lay in the bedroom, where it had been found, and as may easily be imagined, presented a shocking spoctacle. The customary ex amination was mado by the police, and the usual steps taken pending the Coroner's inquest. From the inquiries made by Detective Hughes, it would appear that the deceased has been harrassed infmind for some time past, and there is every reason to believe that he has been much

DISTRESSED BY FINANCIAL EMBARRASSMENT.

He was involved in numerous mining speculations, which engrossed the whole of his time during business hours. During the last few weeks it has been observed that his office has frequently been closed, and a gen tloman having mentioned this fact to him, was informed that business was dull, and as there had been nothing doing he had taken a few holidays. He proceeded to the Thames last week with the object of inspecting Borne claims In which he was interested, and returned to town again Inst Sunday. It wob then obsorved by various people that he appeared to bo more depressed thon usual, and Miss Griffiths, his landlady, was one of those whose atten tion was attracted by this foot. He left his lodgings for town as usual on Wednesday morning, but did not roturn that night. Ho was not accustomed to stay out late at night, and consequently Mies Griffiths sat up until after midnight awaiting his re appearance. However, ho did not como home that night, ond next morning Miss i Griffiths was informed by Mr Woodward, her milkman, that he had

SEEN SIR I'IC'KKTT 0.. THE NKW NORTH KOAIJ walking in the direction of Avondale early in tho morning. She was naturally anxious concerning his safety, Boeing that her lodger was so regular in the hours ho kept. Toward six o'clock, her approhonsion was allayed by the appearance of Mr l'ickett himself. Miss Griffiths jokingly told him that he was a '' pretty follow to Btopoway all night without giving notice or sending word," and he replied that thoy need uot have waited up for him after eleven, as they might have known that he was all right. Sho would have ques tioned him further concerning whero he had boon, but a customer came into tho shop at the time aud prevented further conversation between them. Mr Pickfitt went into the dining-roomi ot the rear, where Mrs Griffiths made some tea, which he took. It may be mentioned, in passing, that Miss Grilliths- mother and sister Amelia live with her. It was Mr Pickett's custom to go into town in the evening, but lost night ho said he would not go out. He explained, further, that ho felt STIFF FROM HAVINO LAIN OUT IN THK BUSHES ALL NIGHT, and that he would go to bed. He proceeded upstairs and lighted his bedroom candle. Miss Griffiths and her sister did not retire until about ten o'clock. Whilo on the way to their bedroom, they observed tho light still shining through tho aperture under Air Pickett's door, and Miss Grilliths, being ap prehensive concerning the liability to an outbreak of fire, pushed the door open and looked in. Mr Pickett was in tno bed, alongside which was a small table, with a candle and a couple of books upon it. Sho told him it wus time ho wont to sleep, and thou prpceedod to blow out the candle. Ho did not make any objection, and she loft the roon) .satisfied that ho intended to-fall asleep. It was soon evident, however, from the light shining out on to tho landing, that he had rplit the candle. Both ladies say that he ro|nained quiet lor a timo, and then they could hour him muttering to himself. Ho spoke in a peculiar tone of voice, and they were naturally frightened. He appeared to he wandering in his mind, and was talking incoherently. There does not appear to havo been any reason for suspecting that he was suffering from delirium tremens, ns there was nothing in his appearance to indicate that he had been drinking. Besides this fact, he has always borne the reputation of being an abstemious man. He continued to talk to.himself, and at lost Mia i Amelia Grilliths ! took the precaution to lock thoir bedroom door, remarking at the same time that sho had seen one man in delirium tremens, and did not want to see another. They could then hear Mr Pickett calling out " THESE MEN ARE AFTER MEAfIAIN." This singular conduct on his part still further increased their alarm, and at last Miss Amelia Griffiths announced ber determination to proceed next door and hi ve ko the assistance of Mr Buchanan, joweller. Sho unlocked the c?oor for that purpose, but had scarcely gono half-way down the stairs when she heard what sounded like the smothered roport of a gun. jit sounded so low, indeed, that the ladies did not think it was the discharge of fire-arms. They, however, proceeded to the bedroom door with the object of ascertaining the cause of the noise, but their entrance was prevented by the fact that the door had been locked after Miss Griffiths left tho room. Miss Amelia Griffiths ran downstairs as quickly as pos sible and called Mr Buchanan, who came into the house with Mr Dawson, chemist, whom he called. Having obtained a ham mer and chisel, Msssrs Buchanan and Dawson burst open the door. The INTERIOR OF THF ROOM PRESENTED A DREADFUL SPECTACLE. The body of Mr Pickett, clad only in a nightdress, lay on the floor, and beside it a double-barrelled breech-loader gun. The white material of the nightdress was satu rated with blood, the walls were bespattered with blood, and the floor was marked with pools of the vital fluid. The examination of the room led to the conclusion that the rash act had been very deliberately carried into effect. There woro wet cloths and a wet towel lying on the bed, the inference befng that he had used them wijth the object of in ducing sleep, and had failed. A bottle labelled "poison," and supposed to contain a sleeping draught, stood ijpon the dressing table. One barrel of the gun contained a E lug-rod, so that it was evident the other arrelhad been loaded immediately before the melancholy occurrence. It is supposed that excited and harassed by sleeplessness and care, " Pick6tt took down the gun and loaded it, fully determined to shoot himself. The shirt was not pierced by the shot, so it is self-evident that he must have placed the butt of the weapon on the floor, and the muzzlo to hjs naked breast. A plug-rod, with a loop of leather attached, was lying beside the gun, thus pointing to the con clusion that the deceased had exploded the weapon by catching the loop in the trigger, forcing the latter back, and thus firing the charge. The wound was a jagged one, about an iual. in diametep, _tpd i. is supt posed that small shot were used. REASONS FOR THE ACT. As wo have already said, there ib every reason to believe that the act was the con sequence of financial embarrassment. It is believed by some that Pickett had been reading the account of the Lile wall suicide, and had thus been led to the same means of putting an end to him- • self. When the examination of the room was made, Detective Hughes found a tele gram on the dressing-table dated 16th of May, from a settler on the Bast Coast, re questing £300 on the nej. t ifiiy. TJUs pyl dently had reference to propepds of shares to be sold by Mr Pickett on liehajf of his client. Detective Hughes made an examination of tne de : B§Ssed's office to-day, l?ut found nothing concern, ng tl(@ inteptiop of deceased to make away with iiirpt^lf; ft wft? fjlearly evident from documents that he was very much embarrassed. Amongst other papers ffitjnd were dishonoured cheques given by hjmself, notice from the !»»£ of yefusal pf overdraft, nptipp to pay up overdraft by the fl-h, &o. It is reported th»t he owef. a lot of wopey for sopfp.

THE DECEASED.

Mr Pickett was o single, man about. 35 years of age, and was understood to bo abstemious in his habits. He was a native of Bath, England", and was a fellow pas senger to Auckland with the Rev. C. M. Nelson, of St. Paul's. Miss Griffiths and her relatives had known de'eased and his friends in Buth, and he had lodged with, them ever since his arrival in the colony; He has no relatives in Auckland, and both his parents are dead, but a brother of his is said to be married in England to the sister of Mrs Saunders, wife of Mr Saunders, tailor, of Queen-street. Mr Pickett was very fond of shooting and sports of all kinds, and recently won a cup in a Gun Club competi tion. He was at one time business man ager of tho " Echo" newspaper, and his face was well-known on 'Change.
