DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION.

A TAILOK SHOOTS HIMSELF

Considerable sensation ■was caused in Freeman's Bay this morning by the report, of an attempt at self-dostruction by a tailor named Patrick Morne, who had boon lodging with Air Daniel Quinn, of Willow atroct, a .small lane oil' Napier-street. A 10 a.m. Mrs Quinn, while washing clothe in the yerd, heard a noise in the house, and going in discovered her lodger lying on the floor of his room. She called assistance, and investigation showed that Morue had attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver, which was found lying on the bed. Mrs Qulnn's Statement. Mrs Mary Quinn states that Patrick Moore, a tailor, had been occupying a room in her house for the last two months ; that is, since lie came out of the Hospital, where he had been treated for consumption. About 10 a.m. to-day sho was washing clothes in the yard at the back of her house when she heard a noise as though some thing had fallen in her cottage. Being unable to satisfactorily account for this disturbance, she went into the passage and past the door of the room which Moore occupied. The door was partly open. She looked in, and saw her lodger lying on the floor. She immediately concluded that there was something wrong with the man, and called to a person named Taylor, who was near, and asked him to see what was the matter. Mr Taylor's statement. Mr Taylor states that he heard the cries of Mrs Quinn ; he went into the- house and, at, her request, proceeded to Morris's bed room. Here he found its occupant lying on the floor. He was dressed, and lying partly under the bed. Investigation showed that the man was bleeding from a wound on the right sido of the forehead, and there was a pool of blood on the pillow slip, which was on the bed. There was also a revolver lying on the pillow. Dr. Baynton was sent for, and spoedily arrived, while Constable Bernard very soon appeared on tho scene. Tlio former considered Morne to bo in a dangerous condition, and advised that ho should bo removed to the Hospital. Constablo Bernard accordingly procured a cab, and had tho would-be suiaide conveyed to that institution, where ha was placed under medical caro. Dr. Bend probed the wound, but did not succeed in extracting tho bullet, which ho said must liavo tukon a downward course. Ho is of opinion that tho man is mad; although Morne is in a critical condition, hopes aro entertained of his recovery. While being conveyed in the cab to tho Hospital, Morne smoked .complacently and talkod of current events, and told the constable that the wound did jiot give him any inconvenience. Further Particulars. Conatable Bernard states, rospocting the sad affair, that he was called at 11.45 a.m., and went in company with Constable Collis to Quiii's house in Willow-street. Thero he saw Patrick Morne lying on a bed. The man was sensible, but tho sido of his head and nock were smeared with blood which came from a wound in tho right forehead. The pillows and tho sheet on the bed were also covered with blood. Richard Taylor who was present handed the constable a live-barrelled revolver, which aptiarently had been recently dfschargrd, two chambers being still loaded. Morno's Statement In reply to questions as to what had caused all the blood> Momo said (eat "he was tired of life," lhat ho had gone into Quinn's room whore he found a loaded revolver. Ho determined to shoot himself and discharged one of tho chamber's shots into his head, but without the anticipated result, Morno, it appears, has been unwell for some months past. He was usually a very temperate man, but had been drinking for the last two or three days. He was formerly in the employ of Mr Samuel Coombea, clothier, of Queen treet. ____________

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(Before His Worship 11. G. Seth Smilh, Esq., District Judge) UNDEFENDED CASES. Judgement went by default for tho plainti/I'in the following case:—Burnett H. Iveesing v. Harry Treil'ry.—Claim, £25, on a promissory note. >»DJOUBNED. J. R. McNau v. Te Hemara, claim £25 5a Gd, for goods; Peter Burley v. W. J. Connolly, claim £ r5 Us 7d. for goods; Peter iUcGill v.

Order made to pay £20 within a fortnich, ££0 within th?ee months, find balance within six months, or six weeks' imprisonment in default. __________

A prosecution of ft decidedly novel character is to come before tha Police Court to-morrow. Ex-Councillor Field, of Pon sonby, has been summoned at tho instance of Mr S. E" Hughes, junr., for a breach of a Printei-31 Act, of IS6B, for issuing and circulating an electioneering mani festo, without any imprint attached thereto. The manifesto was evoked by Mr Hughes's opposition to Mr Field's candidature for Ponsonby, aud the following paragraph suggests' the reason of the former gentleman's recourse to litiga tion :—" It is true I have offended Mr S. E. Hughes during my term of office, for a few months ago, Mr Hughes niado a chim against tho City Council for £17 15s, for services rendered to tho late Poneonby Eoad Board, but I produced evidence that saved the ratepayers ther money and de feated Mr Hughes."

Wo' gather from the " St. Sepulchre's Parish Magazine " an interesting item res pecting Rev. K. S. Hassard, formerly in cumbent of St. Matthew's, but now of Dal ston, in tjje suburbs of London, lying between Shoreditch and Hackney. " The many friends of Mr Hassard will be thank ful to hear that his wife, whose state of health lately was such as to pause her lius cand the gravest an.\i6ty, is much better a"am, and the doctors hold outthebopeof her being soon 'better than esrer.'" Mr Hassard's parish is thickly populated, and evidently he has plenty to do. The work under his pastoral care seems flourishing— " organisations of all kinds (religious, educa tional, and charitable) abound in the parish, and Mr Hassard has now three curates. "
