day evening. I remained on board the vessel from Snturday until tho following Thursday—the 17th of Juno. I had been up the town that djy, and got back to tho vessel about lOor 9.45 thepamer.ight. I was accompanied by i'annond another} oung man The vessel was lying off tho Railway Wharf —a good way out, be.weon tho Queun-atreot and Ksilway Wharves. I lofc the lactor wliarf to go on board tho vessel by the dingy belonging to liur. We ai! tlion wont en board by tho dingy. Ido not know who the other young man is. I had never eeon him before, nor havo I since. Ponn and I stayed on board, and the other young man want away to the Quoen-streot wharf in the dingyfor Caffroy. Ho came back with Oaffrey and two other young toeu. Tho whole company went into tho cabin and had eomo drinks. I cannot say how long they were there. I heard what was talked about in the cabin. Whon I went down there tho fellows wore looking at a black Hag. Tho black satin producod forms a. part of it, tho other part boing just similar. I asked CaU'roy what it wa? for, and he xa<d it was for the doat-h of "Old Tujky." One of tho young follows on board asked Caffrey to put •'the cow" out of the road for him. I believe Mrs Seymour was meant by this expres sion, as I kueiv they had a "down" on her. Besides the young follow referred to said he had beon in tow of her, and she had '• fooled" him. I cannot say if the men wore sober. I heard no further conversa tion about tho Taylor family at ihe island. Caffrey I think was prot.ty near drunk, but I cannot say wnetuer tho others ware drunk. Peon was upon deck when tho allusion was made to the black fbg and "Tueky." He Dad merely had a drink in the cabin, and went straight upon deck,where he sat down on tho top of tho deck, and beg;m p'.aying tho accordeou. : Tho young men .stayed about an hour on j board. Before leaving, they help;:d to pet tho anchor and the fails up. They then left CailVey, Perm, and nnsoJf remaining on I board. Tho vessel got under weigh, nod | sailed straight down tho hurbonr, CaiTrey ! steered a good pirt of tho way, whon i lie wad relieved by L'enn, Caffroy then went. : down to sle^p in his iniuk. 1 runiauiod on I licck with Perm till about five in tho morn- i ing. It was calm then. 1 Want down into j the cabin with Perm at thaS time, tlio vessel i bein^' left to herself. CailVoy was still in his bunk, and Harry called him. Caffroy I answered that ho was coming. Harry went I into Ida bunk., and I lay clown o:i tho j locker and went to sleep. That wub I not my usual place of rest. 1 don't j know whether or not Oaffrey went on j daclc. I was aroused by Caffroy culiiug i from tho deck to Harry. Harry went up • and I followed. It must than have boon I about 9 a.m. I found that no woro • aground upon Rongitoto Kecks. We re mainod in that position till about 0 in tlie evenii.g. During the day, two young men, whom I don't know, camo on board, 1 j think from the North Shore. They did ! not soe'me.as Caffrey told mo to stay down ' below. In tho afternoon Mr Williamson ! (oiipttkin of tho sco'.v Lugoou) atd another ' young man who worked on board tho j Hcovy eaino oa board. They had tea j on board, and t.hoy saw ir.o thora. i After tea thoy towed tho Sovereign of ;tho j Seas off tho rooks. In tho cour^o of tho day, between two and ttnee o'clock, we : saw a boat coining down tno harbour. ' Caffrey saw ie rirst, (md suiu to Pen::, "Jeeua Christ, Venn, here's tho bobliiti "

Ko was looking through the glasses at tho time, i'enn had a look through tho glassis ' also, and said he, too, thought it was thu police b?ar.. Caffroy thoti ivsnt down j the cabin, and loaded tho three revolvers ! lib had on board. They were not on board on tho previous voyage. Ho loaded them, and DUt them on the cabin table, j While loading them, Caffrey said if anyone ' came on board they would never go off I alive. He left tho revolvers en tho table, | and when tbo boat carao closor down it waa . found not to be tho polico bo.it. All this lime I waa engaged on d^ot in hemming the black satin Sag. I waa sitting en tha top of the cabin. Caffroy had usked mo to join the two picos of the flag, and hem it ' round. Thoy were alarmed at the pos3i- , bility of it being tho polico boat, because I had heard Perm tell Caffrey that Mr Henderson v owner of cuttor) had told . him (Peua) that Caffrey was not to tako ! the boat. I heard Pfcnn tell CailVey ; that in tho cabin on tho Wednesday before wo left this voyage—the 16th of Jauo, and 1 heard him telling the tataa . thing to Cuffray up Queen-sweet before ! leaving on tho voyace. After leaving ; Rangitoto wo tailed away to tho j Barrier, aarl I remained ou deck pare j of tha night. When the vessel came j abreast of the island known as tho Watch- ,

maD, I was on deck. Caffrey firtd all tho j ravoivora off over che side of tha vessel . there being fix shots from each revolver. Eighteen shots fired altogether. Perm was a the wheel, aud I | ivas sitting on tho tup of the cabin drinking I some coffee. When this was going on, Calfroy told Harry that one of tho ! revolvers wan faulty, but Harry did not ; raply. On the previous voyage 1 did not f?ee any oliooting of that kind j The vessel next came to Tryphena. I know tho harbour. (The witness indicated on the plan where the vessel anchored, but j afterwards admitted she WO9 mistaken, ; saying that the could no: tell from ! the plan.] We could not see Tuy- [ lor's house from where we anchored. ,' A point hid it from sight. It was not day- , light when we Eailed into the harbour. I had been on deck from tho time C:*lirey called Harry up, After ■ thu vessel was anchored, they hnulud I down tho sails, and lait them ■ hang loose so as to ba ready to get out | quickly again when they came baci; from ( 'I'avlor'a. 1 knew they ware going thero ; because Caffrey had told me _ho was I going ashore to get tha girle. He | had told me co tho Dight before during j tho voyage down. E'en before that, j viz , on the previous trip ho told me ho ! intended to have Mr Sej incur soma day, j but ho did not say now. Before Caffroy j and Perm left tho vessal to go ashore, | Cuffrey wont down and loadod the re- ' volvers and he told me if ho did not | get tho girls ho would ehoot tho father for , revenge. He further eaid if he get them , he would force them down to the boas aud j cut a piece oi the faihei-'a ear or tonguo ! out so tbat he could tell no tales, j I had Lever heard him say anything of tha | tort before Caffrey put in his pocket the j cords to tic Taylor with—a piece of the halliards. Caffrey told me he was going to tie Taylor wiih tuem. Caffrey also took three revolvers, which I now identify, j He bad loaded tuem beloro he started j Both men also hud eailora' knives, which ! they bud bought before setting otic on tho trip. Jfenu told mo he would go ashore j witfi Caffrey, but would do no thooting. Ho said he would go ashore and warn Tay lor. I told tuid him what Caffrey paid to me about; shooting Tayior. CUi'icy had a drink of neat apurts, equal to übout three ' hotel glasses, but I did no:; 6ce Perm have any. They left tlio vessel about 10 minutes ' to live. I know by the dock in tho cabin, j They went awuy in the dingy, and on landiug tied it to a rock. They went away up thu hill, then sat down for a whilo—about a quarter of an hour—after which Perm aroee and went over the point, whilt! CaSrey continued straight up the hill. I then cleaned up tho cabn ! because I expocted the girls. After that I j went to sleep. It had been a nasty night, j and it was a fearfully rough morning. . Caffroy and Perm returned while I was | asleep in the cabin. It must have been about half-past S, because they woke me up when they were getting on deck. I saw ■ Caffrey first. Ho was stepping out of tbe ! buac whon I came on deck. He had fresh ; blood on both hands, the right sleeve of his , coat, and tho iront oi his trousers as j well as on his hat. He had a ra/ol- j vor in his hand (revolver produced aud > identified), took the revolver out of hia ', hand, und found it to be smeared with blood. I eaid '• Oh, Jack, what have ! you done ?" Ho replied that he had put i me b old curse out of the road. I i asked if Harry had had anything j to do with it. and he replied that he had told him to dre, and that like a b iool he had fired at a pic ture on the wall! .Perm. was then on deck, but not within hearing. He was fastening the boat. At Caffrey's request I got the black flag and left it in his bunk, j where ha came down and got it. X did not.i like handling it. Caffrey told me he had j left one oi tho revolvers at Taylor c j and I did not again toe it. VI hen j I was in the cabin, ono was put on rha j table but I don't know by whom. I called j Harry on dock and looked at hia clothes. | I could iind no blood on him. I oelsod him ■ where tho girls were and ho said thoy hud lumped out of the bedroom window. | At this stage the Court made tho usual luncheon adjournment. Ou tha resuming, at 2 o'clock, Mr Wil liamson coutinued his examination of Grace Graham. S/.e said : Harry and Caffrey got I tho anchor up, and iho sails were tuon hoisted. At this stage, the Crown Peosecutor said he wiehed to ask tha advice of Hia Honor regarding the proper legal form for cer tain question. Mr O'Meegher thereupon urged tho tem porary withdrawal of the witness from the box. The Crown Proseoutor said hia question was with reference to the relations of one of tho witneeaes toward? one of the pneonsrs.

His Honor did not think ehe could ba treated as a hostile witness. She seemed to have given her evidence very fairly. Examination continued: 1 had besn living with Perm about a fortnight before this trip. Crown Prosecutor: Did Ponn tell you anything further about the shooting ? Mr Napier objected. In answer to tho Crown Prosecutor, His Honor said thore were cases in which such a girl might be treated a.s an unwilling witness.

Examination continued : I had no further conversations with Harry about the shoot ing, nor did he tell me anything further after we had left the Barrier, or after we had been wrecked.

xhe Crown Prosecutor remarked that this ovidoncodidnot agree with the witness's pre vioundepositions. Hetben han^odtothewit ness hor nrovious deposition that Perm had Bind ho lired one shot. She now denied that sho had made that statemont. It was a mistake in tho name—it should bo Caff rey.

Mr Jackson Palmer point blank deuipd this assertion. Ho distinctly remembered the witness saying in answer to his question tlKit Ponn ndmitted haviner fired ono shot.

His Honor remarked that the witness was evidently biassed in Perm's favour aa since she had beon in the box he had seen her exchange smiles with that prisoner. (Tho case is proceeding as wa go to press.)

Condensed Correspondence,

City Council Leases.-- MrT. J. Harhutt . writes: "I am nor, wii-hful to bring niy ' private affairs before the public, neicher, iudeed, would they care for mi: to do so ; . yefc a few words are duo mo after tbo re- : marks you publish, which fell from a Coun cillor at thair meeting of Thursday, when a i letter was read from myself asking them to j aliow mo to forfeit tha leasehold "tea I ' hold in Syrconda-street, on which I have already paid above £200 (besides rates and ■ tuxes), and which I iicd myself now : unable to continue to keop up. It was ! Btated that I had property in ' every ; uook of the city,'and it was a 'try on' on my : pare. I have but one freehold in the city, : aud one leasehold with a wooden building on it, and these have been unlet for above : three years. Other three freeholds I own, which are in the couDtry, but which are of no help to me from having to pay heavy interest on mortgages, rates, taxes, incur : ances, etc.; and I need not say tbi3 is no ; time to attempt to sell, or I should gladly have done so, and not thep had occa eion to write to the Council bs I did. I won't allow tha alur attempted by the councillor to go uncontradicted. It wan unkind and unworthy of him. He who steals my purso steals trash compared with j a good name which I have held through life, i It would bo difficult to point to a tradesman j or manufacturer who is making headway I at preheat, and ucdor the circumataoces I am placed in, and mentioned in my letter to the Council, I bavo a right to ask the favour I have done, and to expect courtesy at their hands, and not bo forced to extremity to leavo the coun try, which can ill-ufford to loao its tax paying members. It would almos^ appear as ii true « hat another Councillor remarked, vvheu pleading for consideration —' That they seemed like blaodhouuds after money.' Ie U to be hoped the Government will show innre consideration to their leaseholders of small farms, should exceptional ca=ea j arise, than the Council appears to do t theirs."

There have beon no new cases cithor put under observation or sent to the smallpox werd since Sunday. Yesterday three deaths | took place, namely, those of Giacometti ' Portesano, 40.

At 2.30 p.m , Mrs Moore, 25, who hud ono bad scar of vaccination performed in infancy, died in the hospital on shore. It will thus be seen that two out of these three were un vaccinsited cases, and tho third an impor fectly-vaceiuated one.

Twoor threoothers are in extreme danger, nml it was expected they would died during tho night. Mario Fritz, tlie two Uoads, and tho two ChiietiansanH are unvaccin atod. Peters wus vaccinated in infancy only.
