SUPREME COURT.

■■- »-♦ This Bay. CRIMINAL' SESSIONS. (Before His Honor Mr Justice Ward. At 10 o'clock this morning the jurors sum moned for this week were duly sworn in. The Everlasting Perjury Case: —His Honor asked Mr Cobter what Course he proposed to pursue with regard to the case against Hoaera te Mimiha. — Mr Cotter replied that he proposed to com mence de novo as the jury had disagreed. — His Honor suggested that they might pro ceed with the case against the other natives. —Mr Dufaur then tiled an affidavit asking that the further hearing of the case should be adjourned, until next session, on the grounds that it was nob until the case for the accused had beeu opened that he had found that Hariata Marakai was the duly-wedded wife of the accused, and therefore unable to give evidence for the defence. Also that Tita, another im portant witness for the defence, was too ill to attend the Court, and Teneia had given some entirely new evidence.— His Honor poinbed out that the affidavit was vitiated owing to tin error in the drawing out* — Mr Dufaur urged the limited time at' his disposal to draw up the affidavit.—His Honor intimated that it was quite evident that the affi davit had been prepared prior to the opening of the Court in anticipation of a disagreement. Still, he did nob see any objection to allowing time to file another affidavit if Mr Cotter did not object. As far as he was himself concerned, he would much rather adjourn the further hearing of the case.—Mr Dufaur asked Mr Cotter, as prosecutor for the Crown, to give every latitude to the prisoner, as he was still an innocent man as far as the charge of perjury was concerned. — Mr Cotter said the only point was that the case had now been going on for about three months, and 15 witnesses were in atten dance for the prosecution. —After some more discussion His Honor adjourned further proceedings in this case until 2 o'clock to allow time for the riling of the affidavit.

The Big Jewellery Robbery.—James. Clune, alias Ililey, Alfred Clune, alias Riley, and George Clune, alias Kelly, appeared in the dock in answer to the charge of the lar ceny of one Russian leather handbag, con taining valuables worth £250, the property of Mrs Ansen, at Auckland, on April 6th.— All three prisoners pleaded not guilty.— Mr Hudson Williamson prosecuted on be half of the Crown. As the evidence for the prosecution was only published from the Lower Court last week, it will be unneces sary to recapitulate. — Mrs Catherine Ansen, wife of Henry Ansen, Agent- General of Fiji, deposed to losing the hand bag on the 6th of April last. She iden tified the articles produced as her own. Evidence was also given for the prosecu tion by the following witnesses : —Dorothea Lathrope, Effie Clune, Alfred Hawkes, Em manuel Mendelssohn, Barnard Henry Kees ing, John Bunyan, Benjamin Roberts, John Coie, Constable Christie, Detective Tuohy, William Wright and Mr Palmer.

WAIKATO NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Hamilton, Tuesday. The Baptists of Cambridge are making early preparations for their church anniver sary, which takes placo next month. Pastor Spurgeon, of Auckland, is announced to preach the sermons, and the soiree, which is to take place in the Public Hall, is expected to be a great succcfs.

Mr F. A. Quick has purchased the s.s. Blanche, and is having hor fitted up to suit the river trade. It is to bo hoped that the venture will prove a success to her spirited proprietor, and also that the Waipa settlers will give him every en couragement in his spec in meeting a long-felt want. Now that there is new blood infused into the Hamilton Borough Council by the election of two new mem bers, it is to be hoped that they will assist those members of the Council who have so energetically supported the movement of public buildings in Hamilton. The build ing which is at present used for the hospital in Hamilton is not at all suitable as regards accommodation, and the sooner the mem bers of the Council put their heads together and agitate for the erection of a hospital suitable to the requirements of the district, the better. The Council have the neces sary funds, and the only remaining feature is the will. Labour is plentiful in the Wai kato at the present time, whilst work is scarce, and the starting of public buildings would relieve the market.

Cheistchurcii, this day.

Two parcels of quartz from Browning's Pass reef have been tested by Fraser's process at Auckland. One gave a return equal to £7 17s per ton while the other yielded lOdwts. of gold per ton. Professor Black of Dunedin tested a small parcel from the same reef as the latter and estimated the yield at one oz per ton.

Prof. Cheany, a celebrated spiritualistic lecturer, arrived yesterday, accompanied by Mrs Cheany. They intend to give a course of lectures in Auckland, commencing on Sunday evening next in the Lome-street Hall (vide advertisement). After the lecture by Prof. Cheany, Mrs Cheany will give psychometric tests. The late Professor Denton declared Mra Cheany to be one of the best psychometric mediums of his day. Professor and Mrs Cheany have been lec turing for the last 18 months in Syd ney, Melbourne and Dunedin with great success. Mrs Cheany intends to open a class for the development of Psychometry. The time and place will be announced by advertisement in this paper, and from the platform on Sunday evening next after the lecture.

The polling for the election of a gentle man to fill the vacancy in the Parnel Borough Council caused by the retirement of Mr Francis Goldart is taking place to day. The candidates are Mr George Cozens and Mr John McLachlan.

This morning, Miss Head, of Queen street, reported to the police the robbery of a lady's ulster, and early in the afternoon Sergeant Kiely and Detective Herbert caught a woman named Elizabeth Bie kerton in the act of pawning the article at Olsen's pawnshop in Elliott street. She was arrested on suspicion of being the thief, but before she was ap prehended she succeeded in tearing up the pawn ticket which she had just received.

The next entertainment in connection with the Remuera Social Union takes place on Tuesday next, when the first part will consist of songs, readings, etc., and the second part of Sir Arthur Sullivan's most laughable operetta, " Box and Cox."

Arrangements are being made by the committee of St. Mary's Cricket Club to hold a social in the Ponsonby Hall on the 30th inst. Every effort is being exercised to make it a great success, and the com mittee have pleasure in inviting cricketers and footballers to favour the occasion by their presence in uniform, accompanied by their lady friends.

Captain Edwin Wires as follows:— " Every indication that the weather^ will continue unusually cold and further rise of the glass."

BANKRUPTCY.

Mary Brown was examined in bankruptcy to-day before the Official Assignee, and de posed :—" About two years ago I pur chased the furniture and goodwill of the Devonshire Boardinghouse in Hobson-street. I took the place over at the price of £280— i'lso cash, and the balance by monthly in stalments of £10. The only security held by the seller was the lease of the premises, The instalments were regularly paid for the first four months, after which, owing to fluctuations in business, I paid as convenient. In May last a balance of £50 remained unpaid, and I was not then in a position to pay anything towards it, and was looking out for a pur chaser to take the place oft" my hands. At this juncture the person from whom 1 had purchased, induced me, under pressure, to execute a bill-of-sale over all I had to secure the balance owing to him. I executed tho bill-of-salo under the distinct under standing that lie would not put me to any° trouble, and if i could not meet the payment within the six weeks provided by the bili-of-sale he would make it all right. He only wanted the document to raise money on for a short time. At tho expiration of the six weeks he put a bailiff in possession, al though I had done my utmost within that time and paid him £2. Whilst the bailifl was in possession, he offered to withdraw if I would find some money by the 4th June. I borrowed money and paid him £14, with the understanding that he would take the bailiff out, but when he gob the money he refused to fulfil hia promise, and the bailiff remained. Being 'in arrears with rent, the landlord, hearing of this matter, put in a bailiff to protect himself. On the 14th June everything included in tho bill of sale was sold, and out of the pro ceeds the landlord was satisfied and the balance was detained by the bill of sale holders. I have had no account; of the sale, and do not know what the things sold for. Immediately afterwards 1 took a smaller house and removed what furniture I had left to Derwent House, in the same street, and completed the furnishing partly on credit and partly on hire, and in order to meet these liabilities and to cover £20 bor rowed in June (out of which the £14 was paid to tho bill of sale holders) I gave a bill of sale over my furniture and effects on or about the 2nd August for £34. My goods have been valued by order of the Official Assignee, since I filed, at £42 Is9d. The piano removed from the house the day before this valuation was made, had been hired from Mr Webb at £1 per month, and he removed it as soon as he heard I was in trouble. Beyond what 1 have stated now, I have no assets except my wearing apparel, worth about £1, and a doubtful book debt £3 ss, and there is nob tho slightest prospect of my paying my debts, amounting to £108 15s.

W. H. Hamlcy, a bankrupt, was ex amined on oath by the Official Assignee at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon : —On the 6th March, 1880, ho bought a butchering busi ness at Newmarket for the sum of £20, having £150 cash of his own. It was an unfortunate speculation and on the Ist of June last he sold out for £43 after deducting the landlord's claim. He then had nothing left besides my furniture and a five-roomed cottage, which still remains in his pos session. If) might be worth £20. It was a marriage gift tohiswifobyherfather; beyond he had had no assets of any kind, but 50 shares in the Woollen Company of 20s each, £6 15s paid, and 25 Tallow Company's shares of 20s each, on which £15 12s 6d was paid. His unsecured liabilities amount to £446 6s 7d. Ho had been out of em ployment since the 31st May last, and for the last five weeks had been in the doctor's hands.

Katherine Elizabeth Luckie, of Victoria Avi;nue, Remucra, widow, has been ad judged a bankrupt upon hor own petition.

At 2 p.m. to-day His Honor Mr Justice Ward definitely fixed 4 p.m. as the hour when he would be preuaved to hear argu ments for and against the adjournment of the Moari perjury case.
