ALLEGED BARRATRY IN CON NECTION WITH AN AUCKLAND VESSEL.

The Sohooner Atlantic Goos to Sea Wlth-

out Her Master.

Great excitement prevailed in town yes terday and to-day over tha sudden dis appearance of the schooner Atlantic, while Captain Cleverly, the master, remained on shore. The Atlantic, which is owned by Mossrs. Donald and Edenborough, cleared nt tho Customs on Saturday afternoon for Mangaia(Harvey Group) with a cargo valued at about £170. She lay alongside of the wharf at seven o'clock on Saturday night, when Captain Cfoverly went on board and locked up the vessel's papers in his trunk. Ho had intended to sail about that time, but as tho wind was very light ho deter mined to wait until the morning, and told the mate of his intention. He also told tho mate to convoy this information to a passen ger (Captain Simpson), who was not then on board. Captain Cleverly proceeded to the Wharf Hotel, where he bad been lodging, and remained there until 11 p.m., when he again went down the wharf, and, to his amazement, found his vessel gone. He thought it probable that she had been hauled off and anchored in the stream, and expecting to find her there on Sunday morning he wont back to the hotel. On Sunday morning he made the alarming dis covery that tbe schooner was not in the Stream. He went to the North Shoro Ahd looked for her in the channel, but he looked in vain, and ho then' realised the fact that she was gone. He then communicated with Mr. Howarth, Messrs. Donald and Edinborough's clerk (both mombors of tho firm bein^ absent), ond also with Mr. Hill, Collector of Customs, this morning, but neither took any steps toward recovery of the schooner, although a rumour was current that tho Stella was to be sent after her. Captain Cleverly informs us that the pilot schooner passed the Atlantic about eleven o'clock on Satur day night, between tho Reef and Tiritiri. As she was burning flare-up lights the pilot sohooner went alongside and asked what they wanted, whon Cuptain Simpson (tho passenger) said thoy wanted nothing. All hands, it is said, appeared to bo the worse for liquor. This morning, Captain Cleverly also learned that his clothes and the ship's papers had boon sent on shore at Devon port, and left at the Flagstaff Hotel, where he received them later in the day. Simpson wrote a note to tho owners before leaving, in which ho states that as Cleverly was not on board he was going to take the vessel to sea himself. This; however, was not opened until after she had cleared out, which tho writer probably intended-should bo tho ease. Simpson has a French master's certificate, hut woul4 wot have been allswed to take the vessel away by tho Customs, and wore jie to return bore lja would undoubtedly bo severely punished. It I, supposed that ho svill take the vessel to Mangnia, where who was bound j but thoro remains a doubt as te whether he will over reach there. At Mangaia he cauuot be punished, as there is no British Consul there, whioh is unfortu nate. Captain Cleverly remains in town waiting for tbe owners of tho vessel to act in tho matter..

The ineffectual efforts of two horses to drag a waggon - load of potatoes up Wyndham-street attracted quits a crowd of persons in that thoroughfare this afternoon. Mr G. N. Brassey, Secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, had his attention drawn to the matter, and considering the load to be an uriusuallyheavy one, ho decided to institute proceedings against the offender. The waggon is one of Mr J. Craig's, and it was loaded with thirty sacks of potatoes. This is equai to about 2J tons dead weight, while the waggon itself adds another ton. Con stable Bern was sent for, and information of the alleged infringement of the law was supplied to him.

Mr Robert Stout, who, during a portion of tho Grey administration, filled tho oflice of Attorney-Genoral, arrived hero from the South to-day per s.s. RingoJ rooma. He is accompanied by _Mrs Stout, who is in somewhat delicate health, and intends paying a visit to Waiwera. It is probable that Mr Stout will proceed South again to-morrow, but we understand tbathis movements de pend on a telegram that has not yet come to hand. Shortly after his anival he ac cepted an imitation to visit Mr VV, J. Hurst's residence at Lake Takapuna, and he proceeded there at an early hour this afternoon. Mr Stout is engaged as counsel in a Corporation caso at* Wellington, that will require his presence in'that city in the course of a day or so.

PROSPECTING OF THE RING COUNTRY.

Adventures of the X'rospootors Barry

and McDonald.

Two prospectors named Barry and Mc- Donald, who started from Wanganui on a prospecting tour to the King .Country during March last, arrived in town some what unexpectedly on Saturday. As our readers are aware, these men were captured by the natives some days ago, and a good deal of apprehension was felt as to the steps that would be takon by their captors. Their safe awival has set at rest these fears. A Stak reporter interviewed Mr McDonald at the Governor Browne Hotel this afternoon. Mr Barry was, unfortunately, out at the time, and his partner was loth to give de tails that under other circumstances he might havo felt justified in giving. From the meagre information supplied by Mr McDonald, however, it would appear that these prospectors started from Wan ganui on March 24th, and travelling northward by Field's track, in eight days struck into the bush near the Tuhua country. Great pains were taken to avoid coming in contact with the" natives, and during the greater portion of their journeyings the parky avoided tho native tracks, constructing paths for themselves along the ridges of the mountains. Mr McDonald speaks vory bitterly of Captain McDonnoll. the loader of the prospecting party organised by tho citizens of Wanganui. Prior to their cap ture by tho natives thoy met Captain Mc- Donnell, and .hen they ;were cap tured, the natives did not oiler any violenco, but merely contented thomsolves with searching tho prospectors' swags. McDonald had in his possession a small phial containing some reef gold, and this he handed over to Captain McDonnell—who has considerable influence with tho Wan ganui natives—for greater security; Ao cording to McDonald's statement, Mc- Donnell handed this phial over to their captors. Mr McDonald of courso declines to stato where this gold came from, but ho assures us that it was not found in the Puugapunga Crook, as bos been stuted elsewhere. He, however, does not deny tho oxistonco of gold in this stream. The Pungupunga is a tributary of the Wan ganui, and it is said to havo been prospected by tho ill-fated Moll'at. Tho hardships endured by tho two mon appear to havo boon very great, For two months they lived entirely on damper and tea, and wore precluded from shooting gnmo by the fear that tho report- might bo hoard by the natives. On, some occasions they were compelled to travel 40 miles a day with their provisions on their backs. Qneo thoy wero very nearly discovered by a party of natives returning from tho Koriniki mooting. They saw the natives coming along a track, and wero compelled to rim into tho bush for security. MePonald states.that after their capture the natives procured horsos and brought them to VVahanui's settlement, on tho Waipu. After Bomo talk, Wahanui advised tho Maoris to let the mon go, and thoy were liberated noar Alexandra.

PLYMOUTH WIFE MURDER CASE.

A pistrossinß Suspi£ipn,

Tub statement made in tho cable nowafrom London last week to the effect that a barris ter named Thomas Hugh Slwi-land, for merly residing in Auckland, imd been ._r, rested in Plymouth, " oharged with the murder of his wife, with whom ho had boen living till a recent date," has aroused tho suspicion that tho accused may pos sibly be Hugh Rutherford Shortland, scion of one of the iftOßt illustrious of Now Zealand families. Ilia fotfeo;', |)r. Short land, was for many yoai-s Assisttf.n.t Pro tector of Aborigines, has been am. h st;ll j perhaps the highest authority extant with ! regard to tho Maoris and the early history i of tli,_ Colony, and has earned a Euro peon repytttfo;) for his writings on both subjects. TJw yi9,un(r man too is the nephew of Lieu,tenan,t \J illQ.ugJjby Short laud, who was Acting (jiovenioj- after Cap tain Hobson's deatli, and the first Colonial, Secretary of Now Zaaland. It is from him that Shortland Crescent derives its name, Dr. Shortland aud two sons are now resid ing in JVnell. Hugh Rutherford Short land is a youiag R.. ot about 25 years of age, and wag' ed«Q»t.e.d ono of the great public schools of England—Eton, ft »'o mis take not. In 1880 he returned to Auckliind^,! glong with his father and his brothers, WillougJ>by aud Prod, and entered the office of Mr Walfer J. Hill as an articled clerk with a view to studymg for the law. At that time ho made himself obnoA.ouu Jo hi. /eiJ-1'- clerks by his adoption Of. a tonp #ri(Z jjumnor Of patronising commiseration ffl* their necessarily benighted, condition jil*rcug!) want of proper educational facilities. Jlo tfaj; i exceedingly galled ftftor going up for fc!-.e barristers' general knowwd™ exi^nina-! tion to learn that he had been plug . pd. Up till this time be had been bacbe. arising with Jus father in Parnell, but shortly after wards fee suddenly departed for England. Ho ro.-app.e^rxjd in Auckland during 1882, and having p. jneantimo passed an examination nt Hopio y/Jnch was ac cepted by the au.t.Of.iti.B there as equivalent to ft p*B-^g,o of the solioitors' preliminary ejfaßiina^iop, foo j re-entered Mr W. J. Hill's oflioo ax a means ' of preparing for his "final." Prom tlti. time up till his departure for England at tho end of July last ho resided in Auckland, and must have attracted attention, as his appearance was calculated to engage notice. He &$- gather under the average height, and hail % (jl^n-shaven face, very clear complexion, propijc^ nose, and peering dark eyes, while His hair, afso^aijk, y/asworn rather long, and was kopt brvsh_>d j.way back from the forehead over tho crown., i He was punctual and regular in his atten dance at ifcs Supremo Court while the Criminal Sessions'wore op, and appeared to take tbe greatest irt'erestin iv pr.oeeedlngF. He was also a frequent visiter'to tho iVetf Library apd spent a considerable portion of titnio ith^ro reading apd writing. It became a pjra£tl<£ vvifch him to wiite these articles on all sr<r.v ..f subjects, which ho was accustomed to Isayi jf-Jl* the librarian for delivery to one oi Oi)f reporters whom he had iioticpd| Jhere and at the courts. Tho orttclei \vere Renera "y well-written, and some of them found insertion in the Stab in the form of letters to $c editor. On one occasion as many as eigh, came to hand at one timo. Mr Si-O.tjajjd ulso speaji) agpod deal of time at the Law Society's Librg.y, Twice'he notified lii. intoition of going uiji f,pr exnm'n-tbn but each time he failed to do sy. [),. tho first occasion ho said that he had mistakon the date and heieft^iddenly forEngla.nd njt tho second one approach^, taking In. de parture vifi 'Frisco against his father's will. Since that time he has not been heard f ron^ The grounds on which tho suspicion that he may be tha SJwrtland referred to in the telegram rests, are thege —Ist He is the only Shortland who is known in Auckland. 2nd. His mother and family reside in Plymouth where the alleged murder took \ place. 3rd. Though not a barrister lub posiiion as a law student might cause him to be so de-_**i_ ed And 4th, he has aever been heard of since he went home, cltbough Dr. Shortland corresponds res gulariy £"ith his family in Plymouth! Against the supposition is the fact that bis name was Hugh JUjtlier/ord, not Thomas Hugh, as stated in tho telegram; and sth, that -60 for as his relatives UmWi he was unmarried when he left Auolf- Und, and no intimation was ever received that !>e had taken unto himself a wife. D , Shortlo. d, of course, is grief-stricken at tho possibility of the sus picion being true, and with this onu most cordially sympathise. It is to be earnostly hoped that some mistake has beon made, the explanation of g-lucli will rescue an honoured name from reproach and shame.

Coustablc Ward ariasto_ this afternoon a young man named George Wei ton, alias Thorn-son, alias EUers, wTio is " wanted at Wanganui on tho charge of unlawfully assaulting and beating ono Joseph Soalev, a vineyard proprietor. Ho was taken to the PoUce Station, whence bo will bo duly forwarded to Wanganui. Mr W L. Bees arrived from the South by tho Eingarooma to-day. We mjderstand that he has intimated to his friends that he intends to contest the East Coast seat, rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr McDonald, against all-comers, notwith standing that Messrs Lock and Gannon have consented to -irithdraw in fevoar Of Sir Julius Vogel.

The London "Daily News" says tlie re port that Mr Gladstone thinks of resigning this year is absolutely unfounded.
