Mr *■PPr, r Ah Kew interpreted. Jamo"" , fc ; n opening tho case, said SerC the case was first brought before thatwlien gtatement waa m ado by the tlia. W«»» t _ Q d6fooco (ji l9t the caso was a solicitor i , urpoßo 0 f blackmailing, disbelieved it would bo found that bu »«sufficient ovidonco to convict the there was su ppoare d that the accused F ftacame -acquainted with Moyer "j M« wife through tho sister of the fj*1 * who was living with tho '*: „„ - About two months ago, Myers went to tho North Shore, j tank up a pieco of ground. a±r occasionally did some work lor tho ,ed and on thoso days tho wife wont ?

Uever 'would have cotno over to town ai ' 'to lay the information only ho had not sufficient money to pay the faro. Ho, how ver came over on tho following day. The services of the interpreter wero dis mused with in ordor that tho evidence Lht be taken moro quickly. Hannah Meyer, a married woman, do med that she resided at Schostopol Villa, near Lake Takapuna, North Shore. Her husband was a gardener, and she had been living there with him for thelaat two months, gheknew the prisoner, having seen him two veais ago at Arch Hill. He was living there with her sister, who was a widow, and was not married to tho prisoner. About tar months ago the accused told hor that she was not married to him. Her husband worked for tho prisoner on and off last month, sometimes three days a week, nnd jometimeu two. 'Witness went to tho houso tocookand wash for them, because prisoner told her that her husband did not like his cooking, and coold not eat tho food, and he wU very busy with his garden. Sho was at the prisoner's houso on the 22nd of last month, going there about ten o'clock in the morning. Her husband was working iv the prisoner's garden. Mr Napier contended that anything that happened on the 22nd was irrelevant. Tho accused was only charged, with doing some thing on the 27th, and nothing that prisoner mi prior to that dato could bo given in evidence. Sergeant Pratt said it was necessary to lead up to the offence. In the course of a short argument, Mr Napier said he would bring abundant evidence to prove that everything that would be deposed to by tho witness was untrue

Sergeant Pratt then passed on to tho !7th; respecting tho events ot that date tlio witness deposed as follows :—Her husband left the house on tho 27th ; at 9 a. m , leav ing her there with tho childron. At ono o'clock, she was sitting in tho bedroom by herself getting the baby to sleep. All (he children were round her, running in and out. Suddenly sho beard a footstep coming up the passage, and thought it was her husband. The sound of tho footstep wascoming from the direction of tho back door. Then she saw prisoner standing at her bedroom door. Ho had a bluo hand kerchief in his hand, tied in a parcel. The parcel contained a pair of trousors, which the defendant asked her to altur. She said she would. Ho camo across to gwethem to her, and as she rose to get off the bed, he pushed hor back. Tho baby was lying on her left arm, nnd crying. Her right arm was free. (Tho witnoss do scribed the character of the assault.) Sho struggled with the accused, and kicked him. Hot little child, three years old, was crying "John's killing mamma." Ilia loft arm was a crow her throat. The struggle lasted some time, when her husband rushed in with _ stick and pulled the accused off. Chong offered her husband £2 or £3 if ho would say nothing about the affair, but her husband said he would tako no money. Her husband went out in front of tho China nan, the latter following, and thoy went out of the back gate together. She did not consent to the assault.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Bonnes v. Hill,

To tie Editor : Sir, -1 should not have troubled you with any remarks had not Mr W. eoopcr tried to misrepresent matters. His in _-renc. hat J wish t0 become a martyr in the TO of the public is untrue. Since the decision 1™ given I have spoken to no one on the sub ject unless first spoken to. Again, he refers to •"/evidence and sewing.machines. I did not "if would not have interfered had I scon a W_S machine, but I did say " it might have So m? course of action.'' But the fact is raffle was not a sowing machine, bicycle, or E° seen or heard ot in the whole transaction fittmentioned in Mr Dcnnes' evidence What i uitt see was Rationalist papers and Mr Mc- Xla y Writing on tho windows "Rationalist," -Sw Revelations," &c, and I at once S™,«? Jhe conclusion that I had been deceived. s_\r n tlmt when I put the key in my pocket •ra Mr Dennos came over to expostulate with _._? c ne,Tor saili one word about sewing ffW^hutstatodthathehada right to the S°P for the ealo of the paper; and when Mr «ff_f r c? mo to our shop ho never hinted in any HiWform that the shop was wanted for tho "je ot machines, but told me that " newspapers were goods in the eyes of the law." I was Sf'W™'o'l^ fact that Messrs Cooper j??,f ickmley sold pianos or sowing machines «*._»_. A" 6? roaU >' wished to sell these goods ""rata they not say so in the first instance? «»Imust leave the public to judge whether it MJ not on afterthought. In reference to Mr Sh,„ tor? e? t that "ho might sell three ma jranesand clear a profit of £10 on them," taking H,58« value of a sowing machine at £710s Sir n !^- make a Profit of £10 on sales of £22 10s 1 I'"'Whmates his profits for that day at £10. nun. « r 6ay ho mxist be doing far better than mil ?™ 3 which are much more pretentious. J-wproats for the week! In conclusion, I can if Th, y I acted as my conscience dictated, and in _.„Te done a lc Kal wrong 1 must sutler: but M e «Wof a higher law I believe I did 2LI feel keenly the kind offers of Mr Hull fffiS but do not wish a penny to be raised IiSH lam more opposed toth c"'Ha- Sji L paJ>?r than tho articles which were eff™„ i? m T,the " Pall Mall Gazette."
