He,complained especially of Mr ITroude's b00k,," Oceana," a» being inaccurate with regard to New Zealand, and that a gontle £Sau of the reputation of Mr Froude should not have taken sufficient trouble to ascertain fcllo facts and statistics in regard to the colony, which had not, as stated, retro graded, but had wonderfully progressed <jvon during the ,lato years of. depression, pfhe resolution for the dividend was ap proved and a vote of thanks pissed to the chairman,

EJENIOE Cup Matches.—The matchoa for the above prizo continued on Saturday afternoon, the ground being in good con dition and tho weathor all that could be desired. Bandmaster Hunter, with tho Artillery Band (No. .'! Battalion), was proscnl. undor instructions from Mayor Devote, and added ,greatly to the gerioral attractions. Tho uiatchoß of tho day were thoso of tho A.C.C. v. Gordon, and the A.U.C.C. v. Holland's,, thosp boing Iho second ma'ehiM in tho Haul round for tho Cup. In the former Gordon won {ho toss nnd wont in, BwLan captain iug lidding tho cloyon. Riesling and M,eldrum took their stand at tho wickcta against tlio bowling of Uosilo and Arneil. After some good play by Kissling, Moresby camo uiinnd ran tho score to ,'JOfor one wicket down, making 22 off his own bat. Ryburn also played a good game. Tho innings closed for 131, of which Moldrum tccured 48. Tho A.CO. now had about twenty minutes' batting, the Rev. I. Richards and Huwkins standing up first at ilie wickets, Hawkins soon lost his chdnco of Scoring I?V "slogging" at a ball ftnd miseing it. Only S runs liad been taadb whbn time w&s up. The toss- Up in tj\e match United v. Hol land's resulted in favour of the former, when VV. Harvie and C. McCormick went in ; both succumbed to E. Mills's bowl ing with a score of 7. Lynch and Testro made a good stand, and rai°ed the score to 43, when the latter was cleverly caught at Blip by E. Mills. Lynch did,the best for the United men. A. D. McCormick carried out his bat for 21. The bowling of the elder Mills was all that could be desired; however, his "young brother" got rid of Lynch, Yatcs, and Testro. Holland's, in their inning?, lost 2 winkers for 22 run?, leaving them SS to win, which is quite possible for them to do. United,—Firut Inninge.; W. Harvie. b E. Mills I! <!.

WELLINGTON NOTES.

[BY TELEOHAPH. —OWN COBRESI'ONDKNT.]

Wellington, tbia day. Inquiimes aro frequently made as to why the 1045 per cent. New Zealand loan, of which the prosa constantly pub lioli quotations, is bo little over par. The explanation is eimplo. The 10 yeais expire in 18SS, after which i* is optional for tho Government to pay off the loan at par on six months' notice. The price therefore varies with the amount of interest accruing between each half-year, together with Bomo Email amount representing the value of five per cent., with four per cent, interest until the time whon the loan is payable at par. The_ cable quotations in this loan, as transactions, are small, and v ary only aB described above. The a.s. Zealandia, with tho English mails of 24th February, left San Francisco for Auckland on the 13th inst, one day late. The B.s.

SUPREME COURT.-Criminal Sessions.

THIS DAY.

(Before Ifia Honor Mr Justice Vv'ird ). Tin: uoual quarterly sessions of th e Supremo Court for gaol delivery wefe oponed at 10 o'clock this morning.

THE GRAND JURY.

Thefollowir.g gentlemen weroempinnelled as tho Grand Jury :— William Buchanan, John Frederick Churton, Charles Edward Cooke, Samuel Harding, Arthur Heather, Alfred Edward Isaacs, Cottenhatn KiDga ford, William Lambert, William Swinton Laurie, Daniel Henderson Luck, James Macfarlane, David Nolan, Henry Olive, Samuel Vaile, William Ware, Charles Williamson, William Scott Wilson, and Thomas Charles Williamson. Archibald Clark and Henry' William Heath were also called, but did not appear, Mr Buchanan was chosen foreman.

THE JUDGE'S CHARGE,

His Honor delivered the following charge to the Grand Jury : —Mr Foreman and gen tlemen of theGiand Jury,—l regret to have to commence my'charge by having to ex press my concern that through a mis take of tho Piegistrar you should have been brought here earlier than ueual, more especially on the preeent occa sion, whe,n, I am happy to say, there is lees ocpaeian for a lengthened sitting on our part than has lately been the case. lam very happy to be able to congratulate you on, the brief number of cases that will have to be : brought before you at tho present. sitting. I am told that there are seventeen charge? in all, but four or livo of these charges are against the pame individual, and Ihexo are- no charges of ;v vory heinous description. Some of them are serious onougli, but thoy uro serious enough .also, Aa 1 hay« just raid, there are 17 chargoe, and throe of thorn are. cuseß of assault mid robbory. Of tho latter, thoro aio but otio or two cafiO3 of a serious nature In ono of thofo, howovcr, vjis., tho case of Kegina v, King, Hardy, and Coloman, tho ovidonco aa to the tuisatilt is ono of tho slightest description. It appears that tho prosecutor (IlugUes) comes ashore from tho Kolomaliana with L'o sovertigna iv his possession, besides some gold dust in a pouch. He gets drunk vory oarly in tho morning, and is subsequently found in?ensiblo in a vacant lot, where ho lies uutil King and Coleman come up and reliovo him of his money. Thoao two men upon being arrested ac knowlodge their share in the crime, but tho third prisoner does not. Tho evidence against him is simply that he was thore at the time tho robbery was probably com mitted. But, from tho evidence, you will havo very little difliculty in deciding whether ho was one of tho party that com mitted the robbory. Tho next case is that of Regina v. Ellis, Small, and Smith—a more serious case than tho last. It appears that the prosecutor in this case was wander ing about town all day, getting drink wherever he could, and that conse quently he must have been considerably intoxicated by the time it is alleged the offence was committed. He is corroborated by a most disreputable witness named Doyle. After hearing these two men, it will bo for you to say whether, on membering, of course, that a prima facie case is all that is needed to enable you to do fo. The next case 19 that of Regina v. Gordon Forbes. In this case the prisoner is charged with assaulting and robbing Chas Sinclair, mate of the Kose Caeoy. It appears from tho evidence that prisoner and prosecutor had been driving about and drinking the whole morning, and that tho prosecutor was so intoxicated at the time the oflence is alleged to have been commit ted that it would hardly be safe to trust to his evidence alone. But as the prisoner is alleged to havo eaid to another witness named David Stewart that he had succeeded in getting the prosecutor's watch and chain, you will probably havo very little difh'culty in deciding that case also. The next case —one of perjury against one Conrad—may take you some time. The caee appears simple, but where Maoris are concerned you can always depend upon a lengthened examination. It appears that one William son allowed certain Maoris to dig for gum on his land upon conditions which were stated upon tickets which wore given to them and translated to them by the prisoner. Disputes subsequently arose be tween Williamson and the Maoris, and in tho course of examination [before the K.M. the prisoner swore that he had no know lodgo of any QXT*in££Qtnenfc or of any tickets passing from Williamson to the Maoris. If these facts are proved you will have no difficulty in finding a true bill. The trouble will come of terwards when the case is before tho petty jury. The next case is one of forgery of cheques, against a man named Schollin. The facts are very simple, tho only thing striking in it being that both the cheques alleged to havo been iorged by the prisoner were readily cashed, although irregular in form. One of them was not made payable to the bearer, and the amount of the other was filled in by numbers only. One would have thought that, in view of the numerous cases of this oflence that havo been before the Courts in all parts of tho colony, in which forged cheques were cashed, some measure of suspicion and caution would have been produced on the part of the cashiors ; but this does not appear to bo tho case, and consequently thoy have to suffer. I trust that tradesmen will be more careful in future. There are three cases of larceny —ono of them being '.that of a revolver from a man named Butler. The prisoner appears to have be«n at his place on the 21st January, the revolver was iniseed after his departure, and was found on him wbon arrested two'days later. Now, when stolen property is found on ono, as you are well aware, the rule of the land ia for him to account for its possession, or otherwise the presumption of the law is that he is the thief. The next, case ia Regina v. Lott, in which the prisoner is accused of steal ing, and afterwards attempting to pass off in payment for drink, a coin which he is told is counterfeit. As the prisoner acknowledges his guilt, you will have no difficulty with this case, Tho next caee ia Regina v. Coxhead for horse stealing. It appears to be one of the most intricate cases that have come before the Court A man named Stephens says he turned the horse out on his run on the 7th November, and failed to rind it next morn ing. On the 13th January it was recognised at Hunter and Nolan's sale, where it had been put by the prisoner. Moreover, on the 12th November, or five days after the horse is alleged to have been stolen, it was entered by the thief for the Onehunga races, That is carrying im pudence to the highest possible point. The presumption, of course, is that the possessor of the missing horse is the thief. Regina v. McNair, the next case, is one of larceny of a boat. The prosecutor, William Wallace, left the boat at Lucas's Creek on the 18th January, and the- same day Robert Ridley saw the prisoner on board of her. On the 18th February, when the prisoner was arrested, he acknowledged that the boat was in his pos session, and produced certain gear belong ing to her. You will, therefore, have no difficulty with this case. The other case of larceny is the theft of a watch, and is of the very simplest kind. There is one case .of unlawfully and maliciously wounding, in which a woman is charged with severely wounding her husband. It appears that a domestic disturbance took place, and both parties being drunk, the wife wounded her husband with a knife whichhe used to cutto bacoo. The evidence is clear and presents no difficulty. Thelast case is one of attempted suicide by an unfortunate woman named Jane Home. She states that she was driven to the act by a bad husband. lam afraid there are a s,reat many bad husbands about, and of course ii the man in this case deliberately drove his wife to attempt suicide, he is probably as much to blame as she in, although the law will not touch him. The case offers no difficulty.

The Grand Jury then retired,

True Bills The grand jury found true bills in the following cases :-Catherino Jones, unlaw fully- wounding; Thomas King, Peter Haidy, and Charles Coleman. assault and robbery; Robert Carr, larceny : Jane Home, attempted Buicide; Jame3 Richardson Lett, uttering counterfeit coin ; Wm. Anderson, larceny from t. dwelling; Archibald itfcNair, larceny. Unlawfully Wounding—Catherine Jones was charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding George Jones, with intent to do grevious bodily harm, on the Oth January, 1387. Prisoner pleaded guilty of committing the offence in her own defence. His Honor re marked that it was equivalent to a plea of not guilty and the jury were accordingly em pannelled.-George Jones, labourer, Tauranga, deposed that the accused was his wife, and they were living together on the 9th of January, last. Both of them were the worse for liquor and they quarrelled. His wife got in a passion and tried to strike him with a table knife, but witness prevented her, and in doing so he fell against the knife. - Dr James Muiar deposed to attending to the last witness's wounds on the arm. One wound was 21 inches long and half an inch deep. There was another wound three inches long and two inches deep. There was also a contused wound on the little finger mid a punctured wound on the head. Had nut prompt action been tiiken bo believed that Jones might have bled to death Constable Jonas Abrams deposed to wit uesoine a portion of the assault. Saw prisoner push her husband out of the house and threiiten to murder him if he again entered the house. Witness signalled to Sergeant Cahill and they arrested the woman, who said that Johe3 was not [her husband, that Be had

frequently beaten her and lliat what she had dono had been dono hi self-defence. Both tho complainant 'mid accused were under the influence of liquor at tile time.— His Honor briefly pointi'd-oitt that tho wounds wore tho result of a drunken row, and said that tho duly of the !ufy would bo to consider ■whether or not tho wounds had been given ill sulf-dc'fonco; If they found tliat they had been given in sell: defence, then they were entitled to acquit the prisoner: The lury then retired fora few minutes ami upon returning, foitnd a verdict df not guilty. The Judge then discharged the prisoner, merely recommending that next time she had a domestic difference, sho should restrict herself to those weapons with which nature had pro vided her.

Stealing from thi: funsox.— Thomas King, Peter Hardy.and Charles Coloman wore charged with tho larcel'y of £25 !n cash, and 10 ounces of sold dust, the property of John Hughes, on tno 20th January. Prisoners pleaded not guilty. Tire evidence of John Hughes showed that he arrived in Auckland from Klmberly on the 15th January, having in his parcel 23 sovereigns and 10 ounces of gold dnst. He knocked about town a bit on the 20tli instant. Ho nictlhc prisoners and they got drinking together with the usual result, that Hughes got oblivious, and after wards found thut ho had lost his money.—An drew Anderson deposed to seeing the last witness lying on a vacant allotment in Swanson-strcet. Ho saw the three prisoners'trying to lift him up. Hardy called witness to come over. He did so, and Hardy asked witness to get Hughes a bed in the house until he was sober. Witness refused. He heard Hardy say. " I would not like to see that man robbed ; he's got plenty of money on him." — David Gordon corroborated tho last witnesscs's ovidonco. — Detective. Hughes de posed to seoing Hardy in Albert-street at 12.30 o'clock on the 20th January. Ho took him into the Foresters' Arms, and in company with Detective Walker searched'him. They found 7s fld upon him. As Hardy was drunk they lucked him up, and when ho was sober they clinrijcd him with the offences After the prisoners were com mitted for trial witness In company with ]Jo tectivos Walker and Doolan searched Lewis's stable yard in Upper Queen-street, on the 29th of January, and discovered 11 sovereigns wrapped in a piece of canvas. Dctoctivo Doolan deposed to arresting the prisoner Colo man. Next morning Coleman told them that King robbed the man of £8. gavo him two and Ilurdy thrco. He also said he saw Hardy with the gold dust. King also sent, for tho detectives, and stated that ho robbud Hughes of £S and divided the money aa previously slated. Dotectivo Walker ulso corroborated thisstiitc nicnt.—George Ue-ston, chief gaoler, deposed that on the '2'Jtli January tho prisoner Hardy expressed ii wish that Hughes should gel his money back, and told witness that he thought Coloruan would tell whore the money was planted. Coloman was called into Ihoollicound explained whoro the money was hidden. King also continued Colummi'o statement.— Tho prisoner Hardy staled that he never re ceived any of tho prosccntor'o money,—lliu Honor briclly summed up the evidence, attui which die jury returned a verdict of KUilly without retiring from tho box.-His Honor sentenced tho prisoners to lSmonlhs'harrl labour, remarking that thoy evidently belonged to a dangerous class.

Larceny.—Archibald McNair lilcaded Rulllj to the larceny of v boat, accordcon, and 2s in cash. Mr Thco. Cooper stated Hint he appeared fur the youth, and pleaded thut ho was weak in intellect, still ho was responsible for Ms actions, lie would Ihbwover ask for a lenient sentence to be inflicted us the prisoner had given every a^i.stauco to tlic police in recovering tho pro perty, lie eonsklercd 1 hat the prisoner \v«a not m possession of thD highest order of intellect.

FATAL POISONING CASE AT ONEHUNGA.

Amiuoniatcd Mercury, or KoiiKh on Kats ?

A sad cbbo of death from poison occurred yesterday morning at Onohunga. Tho un fortunate victim was the wife of Henry O'Neil, expressmen, of Queen - etreut, and from what can bo ascertained the nffair was thoroughly an accident. It appears that on Monday evening last a person, calling at the residence of Mrs O'Neill, found her very ill, which she ac counted for by saying that ahe had had Borne "Rough on Kata" mixed) ready for those quadrupeds' destruction, in an earth ernwnre basin on the table, and, having got up in the night to drink some tea, had taken this by mistake. Dr. W. It- Ereon was called immediately, and that gontloman lost no lime in seoing and prescribing for tho poor woman, who was sulloring sovero puins from whatovor it was that r?hq had taken. Ho faw ntoneopho wan sullbring from nn irritant poison, being in a cold perspirn tion and liavinj,' violent aUacks of purg ing at intorvalH, Tho umiul romodioa woro ain'licil, whon Mrs O'Nuil seemed bettor, and on tho Doctor calling noxfc day ho found his patient j;otlnj; on we'll. On \Votlnouday O'Noil mot tho tho Doctor nn ho was about to allgtit from hia crrria^o, mid told him it was quito un necessary tor him to visit Mrs O'Neill asuho " was all right;' consequently V E. did not call again till liowassuminoncdouSatur day afternoon. Even then O'Neill brought up a message to aay his wife was bettor again. Dr. Erson, however, determined to call, andtoliis eurprieediacoverbdthowomnn in a terribly neglocted stale. She via lyinj; on the iloor of tho bedroom with only a shift to cover her, and in a filthy state, and he loarnt that nono of her near neighbours had attended on her. Nsra Turner, Mrs Murray, Misa Speak and a few others had however callod to eoe her, although they had never been clopo frionds, and they state that had they known how negloctod sho wae, they would have gone oftener.

Dr. Erson ordered O'Neil to obtain a woman to aitend on his poor wifo, refusing to pre scribe for her if he did not, and Mre Tumor kindly took charge of her. It was, how evGr, too late for medical aid to assist the poor woman, and although hot water bottles were appliod to her foct, and internal re medies administered, they wore of no nso, and blio died at 12.30 a.m. on Pjiturday, in tho proaenco of her hußband. lira Littledalo, Mra Strong, and othore. Looking for tho caueo of death, wo find that tA-o poisons aro known to havo been in the house. Our ropresentativo finds that sho purchased somo whitn'precipi tate of mercury (ammoniated m6rcury) on tho 6th of March at Mr Fitzprlrick'e drug storo, Queen-Btreot, but there is no ovidonce that she swallowod this. Tho procipitato wns purchased for destroying: insocts, which had attracted the hoads of two little girls, who lived with tho old couplo. Ono of theso little girls, Laura Crumloj', snye that sho saw a packet marked " Rough on Hats " in tho poepossion of the doceaeod, and doFcribos its appoarar cc accuratolv. Tho decoared also told Mrs Turner, Mrs Murray and others that sho had mixed tho poison for rats; but tho analysis of what was loft in tho basin is prc vonted by the action of a visitor. It appears that a friend, a Miss Stoad, out at service at Mount Koekill, hearing she was ill brought hor some jam, and put it in a basin that ehe found on tho table, washing the same first. This basin was the ono that had contained the poison. From onquirios made wo ascertain that tho deceased was O'lsoil's second wifo, ehe having boon married to him 10 years ago Tho deceased, it appears, ufed to take "a drop too much" at tiinos, and tho neighbours oxcuso thoir non - attendance on tho sick woman on tho account of having thought it tho rosult of a drinking bout. Thcro is ovidonco that " rows wore occasionally tho result of tho drinking, but thero is no evidence that O'Noil actually badly used his wife. He *ayß that ho came homo abont Mx o'clock in tho night, sho says sha took tho poison, but does not know when sho took it. All ho knows is that sho took ill, and ho himself called tho doctor to her. O'Nail says ho at first thought his wifo was drunk, and did not believo her tale of having taken tho p«ji?on. In fact from his actions ho appoars to have imagined all through hor illnoß* that she was suffering through hor o«n fault.

Dr. Ereon consicJors that tho poisoning is most likely "rough on rate," as tho preci pitate would act morely as an irritant. An inquest ie boiug hold upon tho body as we go to proas.
