DEATH OF MR HARDINGTON.

i Another old colonist has passed away in the person of Mr Henry Hardington, '" who had been for nearly half a century a ' resident In this district. He passed quietly to his rest at his residence Onehunga yester day. The deceased arrived here early in the " fourties "—about 1841, we be lieve," and at first kept a hotel called the Victoria which occupied a site on ■ the present line of Port-street, 'but which was then the shore of the harbour— modern improvements having completely altered the topography of that portion of ' the city. Ho subsequently kept an hotel in Shortland-street where Bycroft's mill now stands, and was afterwards the licensee |of the Greyhound Hotel. He Avas also largely interested in several coaching service connecting tho metropolis of tho ; province with tho out-lying settlements. A keen lover of all kinds of sport and es pecially of horse-raoing, ho was one of tho lirsc promoters of tho Ancklanfl racing club and for many years jovial "Harry" llnrdington in scarlet coat and buckskins noted art clerk of the course at racos which though tho stake* wore small wore always decided on the merits of the horse engaged. At the outbreak of the Taranaki Cam paign Mr Hardington was one. of tho first to volunteer, and was appointed Captain of the Auckland Cavalry Volunteers, which djtl good service in patrolling tho districts around Auckland that wej/c'ipeniiced by tho hostile natives.

SERIOUS ACCUSATION.

A Bank Ledger-Keeper Charged Witn littering a Forced Cheque.

The Police Court was occupied to-day wit^ a criminal prosecution which has engaged some attention at the hands of gossips lately. Charles Aiekin, a young man who formerly occupied the position of ledger-keeper at the Bank of New Zealand, was charged with feloniously offering, uttering dis posing of and putting off, well knowing the some to be forged, a certain order for the payment of money, to wit, a cheque on the Bank of New Zealand for the sum of LGS, with intent to defraud. Mr H. G. Seth Smith, R.M., was on the Bench.

Mr Brookfield appeared for the pro secutor, and Mr O'Meagher for the defence. \V. P. Goodwin, clerk in the Bank of New Zealand, was the first witness called. He deposed that he was acting ledger keeper in October last. He knew accused, who was the bank ledger-keeper, and who had charge of P. to S. ledger. Mr John Patterson had an account at the Bank of New Zealand in October last, and for some time before. Only one person of that name had an account there in October. Accused was in the bank during the first few days in October, and from the '22nd till the end of the month. He was away on a holiday during the intervening time. There was one cheque on Mr Patterson's account in October, and it was presented to them. He marked the cheque for pay ment.

Mr Brookfield : What was the amount of the cheque ?

Mr 0 Meagher submitted that there was no foundation laid for the admission of secondary evidence as to the contents of tho cheque, and he objected to the question. He believed the bank authorities had not been able to find the cheque. Mr Brookfield held that this was the only way in which they could lead up to the evi dence they required. His Worship dissented. By doing so, Mr Brookfield was making primary evidence of secondary evidence.

Mr O'Meagher said Mr Brookfield was trying to get secondary evidence in by a side wind.

Mr Brookfield said he would not examine this witness any further at present, but would call a new witness, and show that the cheque could not be found. He would then return to the first witness.

Richard C. M. Harrington clerk in the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that it was part of ' his duty to call over cheques with the ledger keepers.—He called over cheques on the 22nd October last with the accused, who was ledger keeper. He did not see the cheques him self. He called the names and amounts from the book and the ledger keeper had the cheques. All the cheques were there. The cheques for each day were put in a bundle and placed in a cellar in the bank. Mr Woodhouse was the last to see the cheque before he called them. He called the name of John Patterson amongst the cheques, the amount being LGS. Those were the cheques that came in in the ordinary course of business on the 21st of October. Aickin did not in any way call his attention to the fact that there was no cheque of John Patterson's there when he called them. He believed search had been made for a cheque for L 65, but he had not made it.

By Mr O'Meagher: He did not know who bundled up the cheques, after they were called over. It was the custom to give them to one of the junior clerks to be bundled up, and then they went through the manager's hands. The cheques were often left on the manager's table, the door of tho manager's room being occasion ally open. It was some months after the 22nd of October that he heard of the cheque again. Probably if his attention had not been drawn to the matter he would not have remembered the nameof John Patter son again. He had been shown the ledger since, and the entry had been pointed out. He was convinced in his mind that the name John Patterson was in the ledger when he called the names over. He did not remember actually calling the name John Patterson over. Any of the officials could have got possession of that bundle in office hours,-every official from the manager to the messenger having access to that cellar during work hours. Charles Taylor, teller at the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that ho was em ployed in that capacity on the 21st October last. It was part of his duty as teller to pay cheques presented at the Bank. He paid a cheque of Mr Patterson's on the 2ht October, the amount being L 65. That was the only cheque of £65 he paid that day. He did not remember which of the boys got the cheque on the 21st of October to take to the ledger-keeper, but they were sent in this way. By Mr O'Meagher : It was four or five months after he paid the cheque that he first knew there was anything wrong about it. He did not know how many times he had made over payments since he became teller in the bank, but he had made over payments. By Mr Brookfield : There was consider able stir about the cheque afterwards. The stir was trying to find the cheque. Search was made foo the cheque but he did take any part in it. William Charles Woodhouse, clerk in the Bank of New Zealand, deposed that it was part of his duty in October last to get from the tellers the cheques they paid. He got their cheques in the ordinary way on the 21st and 22nd October,and got cheques from Mr Taylor. The cheques are first written up in the teller's books, and then taken to the ledger keeper's. Subsequently, they are entered in the detail books. An entry was made on the 21st October of a cheque of Mr Patterson's ; ancl the Cheque was in the Bank at the time be made the entiy. Mr Aickin (the accused) was the ledger keeper who would call over Mr Patterson cheques. The cheque had since disappeared, and he had assisted in the search for it. There was a great stir about it being lost. Accused came down and helped to look for the cheque. The cheque was not found, and he did not think it was to be found in the bank.

Mr Brookfield said .he proposed now to ask what were the contents of the cheque. Mr Thompson objected on the ground that the cheque was tended to the accused, secondary evidence of its contents could not be given. All they would get was the evidence of one person who said he called over cheques out of a|book, which itself was not evidence. Mr Harrington told them he would swearthatPatterson'sname was called over, but did not remember any other name that was called over. The only evidence connecting accused with the possession of the cheque was this statement about assisting to call the cheques over, and he held that this was not sufficient. There was really no proof that the cheque was in his possession. Mr O'Meagher quoted various authorities in support of his contention, and pointed out that there was no evidence yet that the cheque had not passed out of the accused's pos: session. There were other persons in the bank who were interested in tho destruction of the cheque besides the accused, and notably tho official who passed the docu ment a emiine.

In answer to a question put by Mr 0'- Mcngher, ■ tho witness Woodhouse said that when they Avero looking for tho cheque they found a voucher on the top of the oven where the waste paper was burnt. Mr Aickbi -came along with the vouchor in his hand, and said " see what I have found on the top of the oven."

Mr O'Meagher argued that Patterson's cheque might, also have found its way with the waste papor to the oven, Secondary

evidence ol the contents of the cheque could not be allowed until the cheque was traced to the possession of the accused. Mr Brookfield could not see what Mr O'Meagher's contention was. His Worship replied that Mr O'Meagher's contention was that the cheque had not been traced to the possession of tho accused, and he did not think it had.

Mr Brookfield argued that it was only necessary to show that an exhaustive search had been made for the cheque to justify them in giving secondary evidence. They did not require to prove the posses sion of the cheque by the accused._ He quoted authorities whicn he considered analogous to the present case. His Worship ruled that the evidence could be admitted-

Mr O'Meagher said in the previous case his friend did not lay the foundation of his claim for the production of necessary evi dence. Therefore their Worships were right in dismissing that case. His Worship said he was not impugning the previous decision. Mr Brookfield remarked that he did not agree with it. Mr Woodhouse, continuing his evidence, said the cheque was signed John Patterson. It was a red cheque, and not on the usual Bank of New Zealand form. Tho amount of the cheque was £65. He remembered the cheque distinctly. By Mr O'Meagher : He remembered that the cheque was a red one, because he looked at it twice, as he did not know that John Patterson had an account with tliem. He could not tell how many other red cheques were received on that or following days. He did not draw any person's attention to the fact that it was a strange signature. He did not know what words were struck out on the cheque, or that there were any initials upon it. , W. It. Goodhue was then recalled, and further examined by Mr Br:okfield. The cheque was signed John Pattesson, and was for £65. He presumed the signature on the cheque must have been like John Patterson, or the money would not have been paid. He presumed he marked tho cheque for payment.

By Mr O'Meagher: He said he "pre sumed " he marked the cheque, because Mr Tolhurst might have done so. He believed, however, that lie marked the cheque. He believed the cheque was genuine when it was passed, but he did not believe it was genuine now. He must have passed a cheque that was not genuine. He had not been complimented for his sagacity. By Mr Brooktield : Instead of being com plimented, he was suspended in connection with that. Mr O'Meagher : You were told to take a holiday ? Witness : Yes. Mr O'Meagher : Well, that was all. Left sitting.
