THE VOLUNTEER EMBROGLIO.

Alleged Criminal Libel on Lieutenant Falmer-

At the Police Court to-day, before Mr H. G Seth Smith, R.M., Alfred McCarthy, a member of the Ponsonby Rifles, was charged with libelling one Jackson Palmer in a letter directed to Gon. Sir G; S. Whitmore, according to the following tenor and effect: " The balance-sheet" (meaning the annual balance-sheet of the Ponsonby Rifle Com pany) " read, was a false one, concocted for tho purpose of deceiving tho mem bers," (meaning thereby, that Palmer and others concocted a false balanco-sheeb) •• and the returns " (meaning the capitation returns) was nothing less than a conspiracy made out in such a way that it defrauded the Government of New Zealand." " Taking into consideration the position of these gentlemen (moaning the officers and score tary of the company) I think they have been guilty of a serious and grievous offence, etc.""

Mr Brookfield appeared for the prosecu tion, and Dr. Laishley for the defendant Mr Hudson Williamson appeared to watch the proceedings on'behalf of Colonel Lyon. Dr. Laishloy took a preliminary objection to the information, which His Worship over ruled. <"■ Dr. Laishloy then applied for an adjourn ment as he had no witnesses. It was, however,decided to proceed with thecasefor theproseeution. Mr Brookfield then opened the case for the prosecution, and intimated that he intended to show that the defend ant wrote a letter to Colonel Mahon, with a covering letter, who forwarded it on to Colonel Lyon, and since them it had got into the hands of other parties and had to some extent become public property. Mr Brookiield than read the letter in which the alleged libellous statement appears, and which accused the officers of sending into the Govornment false capitation returns which had the effect of defrauding the revenue The following is an extract from theletter: "Owing tocirculatingaccounts res pecting the 'Ponsonby Rifle Company, I beg to draw your attention to the following re marks : —I was present ab the annual meet ing called by Captain McDonald for hear ing the balance-sheet read and other busi ness, and I noticed that it represented a balance of L9O from last year's account, which I know to be falso, thero being a balance of only some LlO. I will nob be positivo as to the oxact amount, but ib did not exceed that amount; in fact, the Company was so low in funds that ib had to abandon a kind of bonevolent society for tho relief of the deserving poor, which that Company had formed, and now I find they have a total of about LIB 3to their (?) credit. Now, sir, I want to know how they account for all this money ? Where did it como from, they had no money until they got tho capitation grant; and they tell us that there were only 23 men got capitation, which would only amount to LG9. I ques tion whether a company would be entitled to capitation, with 23 out of 63 men in the company. It was tho above that aroused my suspicion to the fact that there was something wrong, so I started to make en quiry about it. 1 went down to Captain McDonald's office and asked him for per mission to see the duplicate copy of returns. This he blankly refused to do, so I called on Sergeant Searell, and ho told me that ho had seen the returns, or a copy of them, lying at the office at the Drillshed. Ho also showed mo a copy of these returns, which he had copied, and I 'o md that there wore 01 men'snaracs downfchafchad earned capitation instead of 23 men, as we had beon informed by Scrgoonfc-Mcijor Tia.rron, who made out tho returns and sent them in ; then ngain, on looking down tho names I find five men's names who hare left the colonies ; one has left about 18 months, the others rary down bo within six months of sending in the re turns. Then again, I find thirty more men clown that I win swear nover earned capita tion. Then I find one man answering to another man's name that has left the com pany this nine months. Tho balance-sheet read was a false one, concocted for tho pur pose of deceiving tha members, and bhe return was nothing leas than a conspiracy mado out in such a way that it lias de frauded the Government of New Zealand. Taking into account the position of each of these gentlemen, I think they have been guilty of a most serious and grievous offence - Captain McDonald, a Justico of the Peace, Lieutenant Martelli, cashier at the bank, Lieutenant Palmer, solicitor, Sergeanb- Mnjor Barron, a pensioner and public park ranger. We expect bo find men holding such positions in lilo as these men do above all suspicion, and to act as real gentlemen of honour ! («c)." Mr Williamson here stated that Colonel Lyon considered that the letter that had come into his possession was privileged. His Worship suggested that Mr William son should take his objection to the pro duction of the letter at a later stage. Colonel Lyon was then sworn, and de posed that he was officer commanding the district. He had received certain letters similar to those read in Court. He gave one of the letters toCaptain McDonald wnowith out authority showed the letter to Lieut. Palmer. He objected to give up the letter as he had sent bhe letter to Captain Mc- Donald for his information, and for that of no one else. There had been a great deal of trouble in tho Volunteer force lately through these letters goingabout and the production therefore would be detrimental,to the force.

JMr VYjlljamuon argued that the Volun teer'I'regulation and the Defence Act encouraged volunteers to make complaints in t]?e. interests of the corps to which they belonged/ aud Colonel Lyon very properly objected to such complaints being; Haunted before the public and their writer rendered liable to criminal prosecution. He quoted a case, Boatson v. Skeen, cited in Koscoe, in which ib had been held if the produc tion of a document would be, detri mental to the State interests-it should not be produced even though the interests of a private suitor Buffered thereby. He quoted from the Volunteer regulations which, ho said, provided the Court of In quiry to deal with such matters. Mr Brookfield contended that the docu ments bad been sent to an officer who had no right to receire them. In truth and in 'fact these documents should have been sent to Captain McDonald. The prosecution held that these documents were wrongfully in the hands of this officer - that was one of the matters they com plained of and relied on to show malice. He also submittted that the case quoted by Mr Williamson did not support the ob jection of Colonel Lyon to produce the papers. His Worship said that he would like to bear more of the case before be gave a de cision on fche point. So far as ib went it ap peared that Col. Lyon could noti be com pelled to produce the papers. Brookfield said he did not see how he could go on without the do euinentsj'but if they c aid not g©t them in one way they would get them another. Afe Dresent it would be utter nonsense to waste the time of the Court.

•Dr Laishley then asked that the de fendant he discharged. -]lis Worship discharged the defendant. t>r Laishley applied for co3fcs, which however the Bench refußed. Mr Brookfield said of course the case was "dismissed without prejudice, and Mr Palmer would take such steps as were open to him to secure the production of the ovi de nee. »

REPRESENTATION BILL.

A Compromise Aimed At

The Representation Bill will bo tho first order for to-day. As a result of several in terviews between Major Atkinson and the Premier, Clause 3 of tho bill as amended

will be struck out.

Sir Robert Stout will then movo that pro gieas ho reported with a view to inserting a new clause providing for eighty-six mem bers and fifteen per cent, actual in favour of country districts, and 750 margin. He will, however, not object to tho full house reoonsiiderng tho question of the number of members, but if tho clause is not other wise passed to his satisfaction ho will drop the bill. It is now quite cortain that a majority will not be found in favour of 71 members. IFJic Jkmet Hleoll Swbsidy. Some of the Auckland members aro urging on the Government tho continuance of tho South Sea Island steamer subsidy to the Janet Nicoll, and there is every likeli hood that the term will be increased by an other year. I>uty on Iron. A difficulty has arisen in connection with tho proposal to reduce the duty ongalvanized iron imported for corrugating purposes. It now transpires that Mr Parker of Auckland galvanises the block iron and then corrugates it, and ho favours the in creased duty. Under these circumstances, Sir Julius is not inclined to concede the request of Bullinger, Fowler and others.
