THE ALLEGED PERJURY CASE.

TME JURY BISAGKEE.

The hearing of this wearisome case was continued up to a late hour last night. The following evidence was given after we went to press by Constable Mitchell: —

Witness advised Albert Wight to get his father to ride in and procure bail to save the son being locked up when arrested. Albert Wi^ht also asked witness to come along slowly, for Charley and he would ride ahead and "tell the old man about it.' He also said that Charley had told the people that he had fallen from a horse, and hurt his ear on a barbed wire fence. Witness asked Albert Wight how his brother accounted for the aiiair.

His Honor stopped further evidence in that direction. Witness continued: He went to the Thames in execution of his duty, arriving a little after 8 o'clock at night. Witness had a war»ant with him. He first went to R. A. Wight's house at the Thames. There he saw Charles Wight, and arrested him. Charles Wight came out of bed in order to see witness. Charles Wight did not make any reply upon seeing the warrant. Witness took Charles Wight under arrest, and he was charged with rape before the R.M. Wight was remanded on bail until the following Monday morning. The prisoner Hoaera had a fair knowledge of English. He could make himself under stood. Mr Wight, senior, told witness that he had been"looking for him, as " that fellow Humphries tells me that I told you something the day you arrested Charlie as to what he said to me. I did not tell you that Charlie told me, did I? I said that he had told his mother that." Witness replied : " You told me, Mr Wight, that he had told both you and his" mother the same thing." Mr Weight remarked : " And even if I did, that can't affect the case, can it ?" Witness accompanied Detective Walker when a survey was made of the block. The map produced was a fair representation of the locality. Witness acted as chain - man. The river there was rather noisy on account of the water run ning over the small stones. On the 29th of April there was heavy rain during the night. At 3 o'clock on the fol lowing clay there was an unusually largo body of water in the stream. Witness was riding past the Kumato at that time. He had seen the creek several times before and since the occurrence. There was a fresh on the 30th of April, and in consequence there was a strong current running. Cross-examined by Mr Cotter, the wit ness deposed that it was he who looked after the evidence for the prosecution in the rape case. He was not annoyed at a con viction not being obtained in that case. He did ask to be relieved from laying the charge of perjury against the natives. He did so because, knowing as much as he did of the facts of the case, he could not con scientiously think them guilty of perjury. He was not particularly fond of the natives. He had acted under instruction from the Government when he hunted np the facts in this case. He •had been subpcened last week to give evidence in the case. He left Paeroa the week previous, having been informed by Mr Dufaur that the subpoena, had been issued. He informed his inspector of the fact, and thought that he would have been guilty of contempt of Court had he not done so. He knew that Mv Humphries had been the solicitor for the Wights. He asked him if ho could give |&ny evidence in this case—not for the de fence, but in the case. He had endeavoured ..to prove that Albert 'Wight did not sleep at home on the night preceding the assault, and his own sayings had war ranted him in doing so. Re-examined by Mr Dufaur, the wit ness said tlmt Mr ' Goodhall was witness's inspector. He was in charge of the Tauranga district, which included the Thames.

James Law, of Paeroa. wa3 called, but as his evidence was as to statements made by Albert Wight, His Honor ruled them out of order,as the witness Albert Wight had not been previously questioned upon the matter.

Mr Dufaur asked permission to recall > JUbert Wight, but this His Honor at first objected to as out of order. Mr Dufaur said that the Crown should not persecute,but prosecute. His Honor replied that the solicitor for ithe defence should have attended to these \ matters when the witness Albert Wight ;had appeared in the box. Mr Dufaur admitted that he had made an omission, but contended that the Crown should not refuse to accept evidence for the 1 defence.

. His Honor ultimately granted permission for Albert Wight to be recalled. As he was not in attendance, Mr Law's evidence could not be taken.

This concluded the evidence for the defence.

Mr Cotter asked permission to recall Mr Mackay. Mr Dufaur said that as far as the defence was concerned he did not mind what wit nesses were called.

James Mackay, native interpreter, deposed that he took notes at the trial for rape last session.- He produced the notes, and from them stated that Mariata had said that :" Tita and herself were not at the Whara puna house on the night proceeding the assault playing cards. Koronaho and Rewi were not sleeping at the small house that night, but at the settlement. If such was stated, it was false. She first saw her husband upon her return to the Maori settlement." Those were correct interpre tations of the answers given by Te Mariata at the last trial.

. By Mr Dufaur: He had had considerable dealings with the natives for many years. There was a great difference between the native dialects. If an interpreter spoke missionary Maori he might have some diffi culty in making himself understood with some natives. He believed that generally the .natives understood the questions put by }lr Hammond. He considered Mr Hammond an honourable man, and if any mistake had # been made it must, un doubtedly, have been unintentional. Mr Hammond had always endeavoured to give the meaning of the natives' replies. Witness saw nothing to complain of at the time of the- trial. When Te Mariata gave evidence otherwise he should have drawn Mr Cotter's attention to the matter. Mr Hammond spoke the Ngapuahi dialect, while the natives in this case spoke Ngati mari and Ngatiraukawoi dialect. There was a vast difference between learning Maori grammatically and learning it amongst the Maoris themselves. As the Scriptures were published in the Ngapahi dialect, that dialect was called the missionary Maori. For instance, the Rev. Mr Lawry, who was a first-class native scholar, had at times been unable to under stand a native's dialect.

James Brady deposed to meeting Koronaho on the football tield on the 30tn of April at Paeroa. Witness asked him what the natives had been doing to Charles Wight- Koronaho replied that they had marked him " all the same as a porker for raping Hoaera's wife." Korcnaho said that he had held Charles Wight's hands. He had said to Constable Mitchell that the Wights had come to him to ask him if he did not hear a native say that he had held Charles Wight's hands while Hoaera cut his ear ; also that if he would stick in a word for Charlie he would not be short of his money —meaning his expenses. This concluded the evidence.

Mr Dufaur commenced his address to the jury at 4 p.m. He prefaced hiy remarks upon the evidence by stating that it might Strike the jury as somewhat; of »v "-joraaly

that the Judge who ordered the prisoners into arrest should sit in judgment upon them. But they all knew His Honor too well— notwithstanding his comparatively short term upon the Bench-not to under stand that his high sense of honour placed him above such suspicion that His Honor would himself, as he must later on also instruct them to do, simply judge by the evidence placed before him. Mr Dufaur said that, while thanking Mr Cotter for the uniform courtesy with which he had acted, he felt that he must refer to the dual position which he at present oc cupied. Mr Cotter could not possibly ior get that he at one time acted as solicitor for the recently accused Charles Wight, and could not therefore expect to entirely dis abuse his mind of the evidence which he had previously collected, and to rather become aCrown persecutor than a Crown prosecutor. He could not help thinking that it was a questionable act on the part of the Crown to ask Mr Cotter to conduct the prosecution. Mr Dufaur then reviewed the evidence in an eloquent manner. Mr Cotter, in opening his remarks, asked the jury if they had any reasonable doubt of the guilt of the prisoner, to give him the benefit of the doubt. He pointed out that to acquit the prisoner would be practically charging the witnesses, who had given evidence for the prosecution with having themselves committed perjury. Mr Cotter then proceeded to review the evidence at great length, pointing out the many con tradictory statements made by the wit nesses for the defence.

Mr Cotter continued his address foran hour, during which time all the leading points in the evidence, both for the prosecu tion and the defence, were touched upon.

His Honor then summed up the evidence, and complimented Mr Dufaur for the fire he had exhibited on behalf of the defence. His Honor then briefly laid the facts of the case before the jury. He considered that the statement was egregiously absurd that Wight should attempt to violate Hariata when other natives were present, because even the natives stated that the three other natives followed Hariata out of the house on the morning in question. His Honor pointed out that while some latitude was allowed the natives on account of their well - known exaggeration, still when matters of fact had to be considered they should be dealt with the same as others. It was for the jury to decide whether or not reliance could be placed upon the evidence given by the natives in the face of the many apparent contradictory statements. His Honor spoke for a considerable time, reading extracts from the evidence of the various witnesses.

The jury were then allowed to retire for half-an-hour in order to take refreshment. Upon returning to Court the foreman pointed out that they had been supplied with the wrong indictment. This was rectified, and the jury retired to con sider their verdict about seven o'clock. They remained in retirement until 9.10 o'clock, when they returned into Court to ask His Honor to elucidate some discrepan cies in the evidence. When the judge's notes had been quoted from, the fore man of the jury asked that they should be locked up, as there was no chance of the jury agreeing that night. His Honor said he must ask them to further consider the matter, as ho would be compelled to lock them up for at least twelve hours, if at all.

The foreman replied that he feared an agreement was not possible. His Honor intimated that he would wait till 12 o'clock, and the jury again retired.

At 20 minutes past 11 o'clock, the fore man of the jury sent out word that they were still unable to agree, whereupon His Honor ordered them to be removed to the Imperial Hotel, and locked up for the night. This was done, and a.t 9.15 o'clock this morning the jury were taken out for a drive, and arrived at the Court at 10 o'clock.

Upon being asked the usual question, the foreman of the jury stated that they had still been unable to agree. His Honor said that perhaps he was somewhat to blame, as jurors were none the worse for a little direction upon the evi dence, but in this case he had especially avoided leading the jury in any way. He was especially careful upon that point, on account of having ordered tiie arrest of the prisoner. His Honor then discharged the jury-

Before retiring, the foraman of the jury read an address thanking Ris Honor for the uniform courtesy shown to the jury, and also thanking Mr Baddeley and Mr Basley for the kind consideration they had dis played. His Honor briefly returned thanks, and discharged the jury from further attend ance.

CALL FROM ST. DAVID'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Last night a meeting of the congregation of St. David's Presbyterian Church, Symonds street, was held for the purpose of consider ing the appointment of a pastor. The Rev. A. Carrick presided, and there was a good attendance of members and ad herents of the church. Mr Badger announced that the Rev. Mr Lindsay, of Oamaru, who had been named for the vacant pastorate, had declined the call. The Rev. R. S. West was now before the congregation as a candidate, and he had preached in the church for the previous three Sabbaths. Mr Jowitt proposed, " That the name of the Rev. R. S. West be inserted in the call of the district, at a stipend of £300 per annum." The calling of a minister was a most important step, and the congregation should endeavour to cultivate a warm feel ing so that they might fitly receive Mr West. He considered him a man well qualified for the position. The motion was seconded by Mr Angus, and adopted unani mously. Mr West's name was then inserted in the call from the members and adherents of the church, and the document was read to the meeting by the chairman. In the course of some conversation which followed, it was pointed out that the church made no indefinite promise of further possible emolu ments boyond the £300 a-year. Those pre sent having adhibited their names to the call, Messrs McGregor and Patterson were appointed to prosecute the call before the Auckland Presbytery, and the proceedings, which had been most harmonious, were brought to a close.

"CHRISTIAN GRACES."

The second concert of the season given by Mr J. H. Edmondes and pupils took place at St. James's Hall last evening. The audi ence, owing to the prevalence of bad wea ther, was not so large as might have been expected. The first half of the programme included two choruses, " The Prayer from Nasaniella " and " Carnovale," by the Glee Class, and they were excellently rendered. Miss Kemp played the pianoforte solo, " Jessie's Dream," in nice style, and vocal items were contributed as follows: Song, " The Romany Lass," Mr A. S. Reid ; song, " The Sunny Side of the Way," Miss Annie Sinclair; trio, "Morning," Mrs Edmondes and the Misses Da vies ; song, " The Storm fiend." Mr Edmondes; song, " The Broken Pitcher," Miss Mary Reid; descriptive scena, •" Vashti," Miss Da vies. The ac companiments were played by the Misses Parker, Kemp, and M. Reid. Part 11. in troduced the sacred cantata, "Christian Graces," by a juvenile choir of upwards of 60 voices, under the conductorship of Mr J. H. Edmondes. Miss Gertrude Keen repre sented " Faith," Miss Elsie Booth " Hope," and Miss Ethel Owen " Charity," and com

panion characters were taken _by the rest of the choir. The singing was very good, some of the choruses bemg excellent, and bearing evidence of careful training. Miss Bella Dickey was pianiste for the cantata, winch, on the whole, passed oft very satisfactorily.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Litany at Evening Service.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lf your correspondent, "W.R.R.," will refer to his prayer book, he will see that the direction at the head of the Litany is that it shall be sung or said " after morn ino- prayer on Sundays, etc." It is, I believe, customary in many churches to read the Litany on the evenings of those Sundays on which it is omitted, by license, from morning service.—l am, etc., S.

Regina v. Hoeara te Mimiha.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,--In your issue of this evening, you say that a case has probably never happened before of a jury being allowed to attend a theatre during a trial. Although this may be so in New Zealand, yet the case is not without precedent in other countries, as I find that in an American case of Jones v. People the jury were allowed to attend a theatrical play at an opera nouse in the town where the Court was sitting. And for this reason the prisoner's counsel endeavoured to upset the conviction, but it being proved that the jury occupied seats especially engaged for them, in a body ; that no one occupied these seats but the jurors and the officer in. charge ; that they did not separate, either while there or in going to and from the place,and held no conversation or communi ication with anyone, except between them selves and the officer ; that no other spec tators at the theatre mingled with them ; and that they were all the time while there, as well as going and coming, in charge of the said officer, the conviction was upheld by the Court of Appeal. The Court also decided that the question of the morality or immorality of the play was dehors tho question. In another case, during the trial of a capital felony, the jury were lodged every night in an hotel. On the third night the hotel was destroyed by lire. The jury escaping, became separated for an hour, and mingled with the crowd, and although every juror swore that during the separa tion no one had spoken to him or in his presence on the subject of the trial, the conviction was upset. —I am, etc., John A. Beams, Mercantile Chambers, Queen-street, September 1.3, 1887.
