I have written to the Boroufh Council complaining of the position of thi/Eiilo Range, but have not got any answer. Hy workmen have warned me thai they would not work for me if this jivi:,,. continued-Cross-examined by Sir •W Wasteneys: I have frequently been nnno'-ed by this firing. -My tannery has St^'.-.u,'!: with bullets from the Rifle ■Ranw This prosecution is not got up by mn ncainsc Mr Tapp: i. simply want to .-.top the firing because ik is rlan-eron? -My partner also lives L the «ime street. J cannot exactly state how far my boy was from Tapp ; it might have been 8 or 10 yards ; i would not swear thai it was not 30 yards. Sometimes my mtii "-o to and from the tannery by crossing Mr fapi)"ri paddock, but it is against ray will I hat they do ho, as they have no dusi ne.« «n other poopleV property. I do not mmom that Mr Tapp saw my boy when he ihv'l There weve»sbme bushes between mv !r A te and tho stand from which Tapp was "riving - Re-examined by Sergeant < Jrecnc • 1 am not in any way aware or the contents of the Act bearing on this particu lar wise; it has never been read to me. I linvo not been spoken to.by you or any person with a viow of cettinj? up this case Mv only object U to- insure snfety of life by'stopping this practice of tiring.— Edwin Churches, n labourer, deposed: I remember tho 2nd September last At 1 o'clock on that day! was on Mr Weber s 'land near the tannery, and was just about to commence work. I .saw Mr Weber cumin- aion S Alfred-street. The defend ant was tiring from the platform m Alirccl slre-t in front of the- tannery. I heard ~Ur Weber telling tho accused as he passed not to fire. Shortly after he passed tho accused fired. Mr Weber pulled his boy out of the line of fire just as the shot was fired. 1 am sure Tapp tired tho shots : there was no other person there at the time. Cross-examined by Sir W. Wasteneys: I am neb in Weber's employ at present. I was on that day. I know Mr \\ ebers Jjov He is not dumb. He can speak plainly. It was not the boy who has an impediment in his speech. I have never talked over this matter with Mr "Weber. 1 saw*Tapp from over the wall. He wnstirinf from thostand.—Sir W. Wasteueys then found fault with the plaintiff prompt 3ii" this witness, and would not continue thecrod3 examination.— SergeantGreonede posed on oath : I know Alfred-street as described by Mr Weber. It is a public gtreet in Onehunga, and extends nearly to rhs sea. It is properly formed and metalled for several chains past the tannery. It is not in any way connected with tho Rifle Kar.<>c-. Tlje plan will .show the Bench the extent' of the Riile Range Reserve.— By Sir W. Wnateneys : Tho Highway Board or Council metalled the street in question : I am not aware that the Volun teers metalled the street, neither am I awaro that the Council placed the stands on the'street for tiring from. -I should riot think the Council were such fools a.3 to do so. 'Die Public Works and Corporations .Act* have power to alter, or make use of street by goibg through, the. proper form. ■The Government have no power to grant pevjnissiou to firo from the sfcreet,--Sir W. Wastbneyfl addressed the Bench and argued that the defendant had permission from' his commanding ollicer (myself, as captain .of his company.); I in like manner have, per mission from my commanding officer to do go's it is not only a permission bub a duty, as we have to complete a certain amount• of rifle practice before we can capitate; Tho ■defendant is in no way responsible for firing, he having simply obeyed orders.—The Bench held that, jfa being a criminal offence, tho defendant was responsible for his actions.—Tapp was then sworn.— By tho Bench : I am. a Volunteer, hri]onfn"n||M||the Onolmnga Rifles, eoro mandedlfeP Captain Wasteneys. ; The former 2s|Pnander had given permission for ritie practice on the place in question, nnd that permit-ion is not revoked. I tvas ih-hig on ihis par'.rcular' day. \Veber passed j and said he would stop this filing/ He had a child with him. The child can't speak. I took' every precautio to insure safety, having them placed in th 'marker's ■•butt" and a danger-signal man. My brother was marker, and Higgiris was danger-signal man. They are both Volun teer". —Gross-examined by SergcantGreene: • The furze on the road Would riot have ob scur.ed.the, child from my. sight. I do not consider there was any danger whatever to the child or to anybody else. I can pro duce a witness who was told by Weber that he had seen the bullet passing over the child's head, and'thftt he had.measured the distance it was above his head. --Ernest HiQigihs deposed to there being no danger whatever to persons on the street, while n lie- practice was going on.—J- D. Jackson, • a Borough Councillor, gave evidence ( aa'to its being a recognised Itill'e Range, 'granted by (iQvernmeu.t.—John Limdon, Major of tho X.Z. Land Militia, deposed:! know the Pdiie. Range for the past twenty years. There has-- never been an accident on the Range. The Range has been inspected by orders from Colonel Lyon, and found to bo suitable. Orders wore then given to offi cers commanding companies to" use the tame as such. —Duncan Campbell, Ser geant-Major Permanent Staff, gave evi dence to show that he had received orders to come out, here to examine and report ■■i* upon the Range. On inspection he found "that the Range was perfectly safe with ordinary precaution, Orders were sent to Captain Lundon to use the Range for rifle practice. It is imperative in the service that firing parties be commanded by ■ .an oflicer at specified times. -- At th'iistage the case was adjourned for oij'f ijouiv—gi r \V. Wasteney&addressed the •Bench in a verA' ab]§.;.JfnanneVat consider able length, shiwiug'lhaL the -accused was acting uiuler Miicr^froni his commanding oflicer, and.iiroo»i;':-dscharginff\ firearms wantonly as ,-.>- •.! fjtf'the information, and aho pointing onW'tha prescriptivo right which lias beeii-'fn' existence for the last 16 yea rs to iiso tho Rifle Range. —Decision de ferred. , Sidxkv Wade.—Tliis was an adjourned" case of larceny . fi'om - tho last GourfctJay.-e- Sir SV. Wasteneys (for accused) called the attention Of the Bench to the fact thattbis was an > illegally'^adjourned case, inasmuch that after the Bench adjourned this?casi* for aVeeii the"*3«*tices could not.be found to tuy the case. Ho could nofc help re marking that the police at their caprice mi^hb adjourn at their wish from. #tyG to time. Sergcani tirpene stated -that ■

he could not find justices to try the case, and even if he had, there was no Clerk of the Court in attendance. The Bench stated that a rota of Justices would be made out. yiv w. Wasteneys here requested Ser geant Groen to inform him under what sec tion the information was .laid.— Sergeanfc Greene could not state the section, but con sidered it stffnoiont that the accused was charged with stealing green stuff valued at U from Robert. McQuay.—McQuay then on examination by Sergeant Greene stated that the green oats was his property. Ho never authorised any person to cub it, nether did he sell any of it previous to the 19th August, when he observed that it had been out in several places. On the 19th August lie was passing the paddock, and saw the accused cutting the stuff and putting it in a «ick. On his approaching ho shifted the bagof oats and hook'into auadjoininffallotmont, leaving sonic freshly cut green stud' on the ground. Mr White was with him and saw it. The accused afterwards followed him down the road, and asked him not to summons him, as he only wanted a little for a calf. He estimated what he had cub to be worth about one shilling. Tho acre was not well fenced ; it was not cattle-proof, bub cattle could nob get in owing to the fence along tho road.—Cross-examined by Sic W. Wasteneya-as to oats being sown, the crop being indifferent, seeing the boy cub tin"- the oats, and the value of what he had cub? Charles White deposed: 1 am a labourer. and know the accused. I saw him taking tho oats and spoke to him, and advised him to go and see Mr Quay; ho left me and went towards Mr Quay. 1 saw tho oats he had cut; they were worth more than one shilling. —Geo. White, son of last witness, also pave evidence corroborating his father's state ment.—Sir W. Wasteneys, in addressing the Bench, pointed out the system of perse cution to which the Wade family we sub jected by their neighbours and tho police, showing several instances in which cases had been preferred against the family, all of which were dismissed by the Bench ; also the expressed vindictivoness'of some of tho witnesses, etc., etc.— The father of the accused then gave evidence at consider able length, showing tho improbability of the boy stealing oats, and contradicting the statements of witnesses for the plaintiff.— Catherine Wade, mother of the defendant, was also sworn, and stated that she sent hen boy on the afternoon in question to cut a bag of cabbages. She also saw the note wtittan by the plaintiff demanding her husband's presence to pay for the oats which the boy had stolen. She immediately emptied the bag, and found it to contain nothing bub cabbages. — Worthy Mills, labourer, deposed : 1 know the accused and the land from which the oata were cut. 1 ■was engaged by. White to cub tho oats, which are now ilcQuay'*. It is about thrco months ago. It was a very poor crop. I took all there was worth taking. Wade had a much better crop of oats of his own. — William Wade, brother of defendant, deposed: He was work ing on the adjoining land, occupied by his father. About 5 o'clock the defend .ent came with a wheclborrow and took a load of oats, which his father had Out off his own land. He took the barrow down to the house, and returned with a sack and cut some cabbages. To get to tho cabbago plot he had to pass through McQuay's land, where the oats were supposed to have been. McQuay went to where tho boy was cutting tho cabbages and spoke to him. He did not know what he said. In the eveniug he met White's boy, who told him that his father wag going to give McQuay the oats if he would prosecute the defendant. —By .Sergeant Greene : I was formerly convicted of stealing cabbages.and lined £5. —Harry O'lseil deposed that it was impossiblo to sco from tho road as stated by plaintiff.—After consideration tho accused was found guilty, and fined 10s and costs, £1 17s, or, in default, to beimprisoned for seven days.
