The wit ness noticed that the upper portion of the ear had been cut away. The prisoner stated that his horse had reared and thrown him back, and rolled on him, and his ear came into contact with a piece of glass, which had cut off the upper portion. Hie prisoner produced the piece of his ear, and at first asked if it could be replaced, and, upon being told that was impossible, asked if his other ear could not be cut to match. Witness dressed the wound. Ib was a clean cut. On the following Monday the prisoner again visited him, and asked to have his back examined. Witness found a bruise upon his back about the width of two fingers. On the next Wednesday the prisoner again visited witness, and asked to have his thighs and private parts examined. Witness did so, and found no marks on the lower portion of prisoner's body. The prisoner on this occasion said he had been attacked by some Maoris, and that was how he had received his injuries. He also showed a severe bruise on the arm. —By Mr Cotter : Had the prisoner been maUreated, as stated by the two previous witnesses, evidence of such injuries must have .remained even after the lapse of four days from the Saturday until Wednesday.—-Honi Kuruni deposed to being in a house near the potato field on the day. in ques tion.

Upon ar riving he found Hariata Mimiha striking the prisoner. He saw Hariata under Charley Wight. He heard prisoner say, " Don't cut my ear. I will give you L 50." Hoerata asked witness, "Where is the LSO ?" Prisoner said, "At my house." Hoerata, believing that he would never get the LSO, cut off prisoner's ear. Teta and Mariati and their husbands slept in the same whare with prisoner that night. — Mr Cotter cross-examined the witness Honi Kuruni last night until he contradicted the evidence of some of the previous witnesses. —It was then decided to adjourn until 9 o'clock this morning.

This Day.

The Court resumed at 9 o'clock this morn ing. Owing to the change in the hour of opening, the j brake ■was not in attendance to convey the jury to the Court, and as a result they were com pelled to walk down. In consequence of this the jury presented the appearance of drowned rats when- they arrived at Court. After sitting for a few minutes, His Honor thoughtfully adjourned the Court, and sup plied the jurors with hot coffee to prevent them taking cold;, .a kiridness .which, ' it ; is needless to state, was fully appreciated. ~-~ Two native women; Mariata and Teta, who .were in the.hut when the assault is alleged to have taken place, gave evidence as to hearing the cries of Hariata Maraiha. They ran out, and saw Hoerata Mimiha thrash ing the prisoner for having committed the assault. The remainder of their'evidence corroborated that of the complainant and her husband. Under cross-examination by Mr Cotter, the witness, Teta, contradicted herself considerably. — Constable Alfred James Mitchell, stationed at Paeroa, de posed that on Saturday, the 30th April, he arrested the prisoner on the above charge about 10 o'clock in the . evening, in consequence of information received from Hariata Alimiha and other natives. -The prisoner said, "I don't, like the woman ; it was only last week I ordered her out of the potato field, and I suppose- that is why she has done this." The native gave witness the hat (produced) belonging to prisoner; also the knife (produced)- belonging to Hariata Mimiha.—By Mr Cotter: When the hat was handed to witness it was doubled up. He .'examined lib carefully, but could find no teeth-marks, blood or saliva upon the hat.—This concluded the case for the prosecution. —Mr Cotter then opened his case to the jury; He intimated that he would call strong . rebutting evidence which would tend to prove that the whole case was a conspiracy on the part of the, natives.—Tenea was the first witness called for. the defence.

THE SYLLABUS AND STAN' DARD EXAMINATIONS.

City Schools Committee Back Fp

Mr Harrison.

At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, the whole of the cor respondence from Mr E. M. C. Harrison (Headmaster of Beresfovd-street school) and Inspector Fidler on the subject of stan dard examinations at Beresford-street school and the syllabus generally, was brought up for consideration. The follow ing letter from the City Schools Committee was read:—

"Sir,—ln acknowledging with thanks the receipt of-Mr Fidler's reply to Mr Harrison, the. Committee desir-e to remind the Board that they did not send Mr Harrison's re port with the object of provoking a con troversy between the Inspector andthehead teacher on the merits of the recent examina tion of Beresford-streetSchool, but, as their resolution expressed, to ask the attention of the Board to Mr Harrison's statements; and the evidence adduced by him that the syllabus was much too extended for the re quirements of primary schools, and although Mr Fidler's reply may be taken inferentially to deny the correctness of Mr Harrison's contention, the Committee consider thafc the Inspector has not treated the subject with that deliberative calmness which might have been expected, but has allowed, him self to be carried into a personal defence of the merits of his mode of examination. The Committee do not propose to go into that question, but they feel constrained to remark that Mr Fidler has nullified the im portance which might have attached to his reply, by varying from the original, what he states he reported of this school. The words used in the report he furnished the Committee were ' discipline, order and tone excellent,' while he tells the Board that he reported that ' the discipline was good. ' The marked difference between the quali fied nature of the latter expression, and the warm, approbation of the former is sur prising, and naturally leads to the conclu sion that the statement later on in his reply that he tries to do Mr Harrison justice is written ironically. The Committee do not propose to ask Mr Hai-rison to reply to Mr Fidler, as they are quite satisfied as to the causes of the comparative failure in the pass subjects of this school. These causes, with the co-operation of the Board, they hope to remove. They are convinced that a school of which it is reported that ' the order, discipline and tone are ex cellent,' is doing.good work on the whole. The Committee would therefore again ask that the question be considered on the broad ground suggested by the resolutions forwarded.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, W. Gorrte, Chair man of Committee. The Secretary Board of Education."

The Chairman suggested that the entire correspondence should be referred to the Minister of Education for his consideration.

Mr Cooper objected to this. proposal He agreed with Mr Harrison's contention, that the results exacted by the Inspectors were too severe, and that the syllabus was not likely to promote the true interests of edu cation. It would require a child with a phenomenal jmind and an iron constitution to fulfil the requirements of the syllabus. He opposed the Chairman's suggestion to refer the whole matter to the Minister of Education.

Mr Goldie quoted from a report sent in by Mr Worthington in July, 1886, the opinion, "That the existing syllabus, of subjects for elementary schools for Standards I. to IV. inclusive, ■ does not contain more than can be fairly overtaken by pupils in those grades," and "that except in large schools where there is a thoroughly efficient staff of teachers those subjects classed as '. extra' cannot be well taught to Standards V. and VI." Conse quently Mr Worthington's views were dia metrically opposed to those of Mr Harrison, and where such doctors idsiagreed it was difficult for the Board to decide. He there fore approved the suggestion to refer the whole matter to the Minister of Education.

Mr Upton said that it was quite evident that there was an absence of uniformity about the tests applied by the Inspectors in their examination of schools. It was highly essential that the uniformity of tests now lacking should be obtained, and-he there fore moved, " That the Board suggests to the Inspectors the advisableness of their conferring together, for the purpose of adopting a mode of examination which would have the effeot of, the application of a uniform test of the standard examination, and requests them to .report to the Board the result of. their conference, and further to report upon the suitableness of the sylla bus for primary schools." He regretted that the question of the syllabus had been mixed up with that of the examination, of the Beresford-street School.

Mr Lennox considered that Mr Upton's, proposition did not go far enough. It was a cheap means for the Board to relieve itself of an onerous task. He did not, how ever, approve of the matter being shunted in that way, and he would therefore move, as an amendment, "That Mr Harrison's letters and Inspector Fidler's report be re ferred to the Training College Visiting Committee with the view of conferring with the Inspectors on the important matters contained- therein."

In the course of some additional remarks, Mr Upton expressed his opinion that the Board was quite at sea in the matter of education. It had not any adequate guidance or help. Mr Carr, while agreeing with both pro positions, did not think that Mr Harrison had succeeded in satisfactorily explaining the inferiority of the results of the Beres ford-street School examination. '

The Chairman challenged Mr Harrison's statement regarding the "inefficiency" of teachers appointed to his school. Mr Can , thought it a shame that Mr Harrison should have made such a charge. Mr Cooper explained it to mean the con stant removal of teachers with some ex perience and their replacement by the raw material. ' •

Mr Lennox then withdrew his amend ment, and Mr Upton's resolution was carried.

OPERA HOUSE.

" Patience. , '

The Opera Honse was again well filled last night, and the performance of "Patience ' appeared to give general satisfaction to those present. Encores were more fre quent even than usual, and the duet between Lady Jane and Bunthorhe in the second act ' was twice re peated before the audience were satisfied, fehowei's of floral offerings also rewarded the leading vocalists during .the perform- 1 ance. -'Patience" will be produced again ' this evening, and our readers will do well to remember that it will then be withdrawn.

The Opera House is sure to be largely patronised by country visitors during the ensuing week especially as late trains have been arranged for. ; Demonstration, at Newmarket This plucky little suburb borough has resolved upon having a Jubilee demonstra tion of its owh on Monday night. There is to be a torchlight procession in which the local band and fire brigade will join, and there will be general illuminations and a dis play of fireworks. Mr Suiter, Mayor of the borough, and other leading residents have agreed to provide refreshments to the pro cessionists. Jubilee Minstrels Tonight.

The City Hall will be opened by the Jubilee Minstrels to-night with the first of a series of three variety entertainments, for which special replete with nov elty and funnyism have been prepared. There are no less than 17 capable per formers, and of these four are " end " men. The Minstrels come before the public pro vided with new songs, dances, farces, and " goaks "of local application. On Monday night there will be a grand display of fire works outside the Hall, preceded at 7 o'clock by the liberation of a fire balloon. The prices of admission, viz., 3s, 2s and Is, should suit all pockets. The Fancy Dress Ball. From the numerous ■ advertisements that appear in print re fancy dresses for the ball there should be a general display of cos tumes at the City Hall Jubilee fancy dress ball on Tuesday evening. We are, however, requested to state that fancy dress will not be d& riyuzur, but that visiters, if they choose, may wear evening dress. Excursions Wanted. A great many people want to know how. they can amuse theniselves on Jubilee Day, for beyond excursion trains at s Saturday return fares, and a three days' trip to visit White Island in the Chelmsford, little or nothing' is ' announced. What is wanted is a' cheap steamboat excursion trip or. two, starting at about 10 a.m. and returning about 5 p.m., and there is little doubt that if the weather proved fine either Kawau, Motutapu, or .Waiwera would be very largely patronised. Burns Clul> " Social." The Jubilee social gathering and ball in connection with Auckland Burns Club to be held in the Masonic Hall Newton, on Mori day evening next, promises to be highly successful. .Mr D, B. McDonald will give the opening address, and songs and recitations are expected from Mrs Wright, Mrs Heighway, Misses Smith, Moncur, MpMillan and Glover and Messrs Menzies, Guthrie, Carter, Robertson, and Pitkeithley. In, the ball which is to take place, Mr Jas. Stewart, C.E., will act as Master of Cere monies, and Mr Leslie is to cater for re freshments, i On the ball programme are one or two of the old-fashioned contre-daiises' and Scotch reels so seldom seen here. Other Entertainments. These include the burlesque and panto mime now. being performed at theAgricul tural Hall; Major Dane's lecture at the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms on Monday night, and the Hobson Rifle's ball. The latter event takes place in the Forester's Hall on Monday evening, and'is to be under the patronage of Colonel Lyons and other officers. ■ Free Jubilee; Dinner, etc. The poor are not to be neglected while other people, are rejoicing, and-all who can procure empty kits are assured of getting them filled with material for' a' hearty Jubilee dinner. From 11 a.m. on Monday, meat, bread, flour, beef, fish, and fruit will be distribute:! free to deserving applicant at a shop in.Customs-street, opposite the Waitemata Hotel. This treat is due to the generosity of a number of gentlemen, in cluding Messrs Hellaby Brothers, Captain Pankow,. Messrs J. Eudean, W. S. Whitley, F. Williams, McKeown, andß, Daws,or», o

Jubilee Thanksgiving.

A special Jubilee thanksgiving service will be held at the Tabernacle.on.Wednes day evening :next. Major H. C. Dane and Pastor Thos. : Spurgeon will_ speak, _ and special musical attractions will be given. Amongst thie decorations of special note is the Queen's Jubilee motto, "Peace on Earth, etc," in gold letters upon a royal blue silk ground, also that of " Vivat Re gina," on crimson silk in letters of gold. A , splendid portrait'of the Queen, surrounded by floral decorations will be lent for the casion by thf,j Savings Bank authorities. Upon the platSform will be large numbers of pot and cut ilowers. On this occasion the funds collected will go towards the funds of the Orphanage for boys and girls, under the presidency of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, particulars /ot which will be supplied. Major Dane: Subject will be " What Shall We Do for the Poor Children." The Metro politan Ta.bernacle i (London) friends con tributed liljOOO towards the Auckland Tabernacl,e Building Fund, and the Auck land congregation can now respond on be half of the London Orphanage.

A Thanksgiving Jubilee service was held at the Hebrew Synagogue this morning, prayers especially composed for the occasion by the Bey. Di\ Adler, chief Rabbi of the British Jews, being read by the Rev. S. Goldstein, Thero does not appear to be very great excitement amongst the shipping over the approaching Jubilee festivities, and we have riot heard of any preparations for making; a display of fireworks from vessels in port; on Jubilee night. This is all the more singular because the " skippers " are usually well to the fore in such matters. They probably only want the reminder that Jubileo night, Tuesday, the 21st inst., will afford an excellent opportunity to explode any surplus powder, and this much having been siaid, the wharves will, no doubt, as usual, be one of the centres of attraction when fthe grand illuminations take place. The Mayor's Jubilee dinner at the Albert Hotel on Tuesday night next will com mence) at a quarter past eight o'clock, punctually, instead of half-past' seven o'clock, as originally fixed, to enable guests at the; dinner to first see the illuminations. Th c Secretaiy of the Tramway Company has written to the Council stating that the Company's manager will be in Queen-street on Jubilee night, and if he finds it neces-' sary he will arrange for the cars to stop at the top of Wellesley-streets East and West and not proceed through Queen-street. But they did not think this action would be necessary, as the cars if driven through Queen-street at a walking pace would not interfere with pedestrian's traffic. We have pleasure in acknowledging re ceipt of £1, towards the "Jubilee Relief Fund," from P.. A. Phillips, Esq.

Jubilee Benevolence.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,, —As it is not our intention to illumi nates on Jubilee evening, we have decided, instead, to ask you to kindly hand to the following institutions . (Parnell Orphans' Home, St. Mary's Orphan Home, Prison Gate Brigade and Mr Boynton's Charity Fund) half-a-guinea each, as we consider tha.t the urgent necessities l of many deserv ing; poor in our community at the present time, worthy 'of particular assistance, so that some pleasurable impression may re main of >a rare and joyful event on the minds of those engaged in what, we fear, cam only be too truly called the weary battle of life.—Yours, &c, Hallenstexn Bros, and Co., per J. Fitzsimons.

[We have great pleasure in acknowledg ing receipt of the cheque for two guineas above mentioned.

A JUBILEE HYMN.

The hymn, the words of which are printed below, is the composition,of the Rev. E. H. Gulliver, M.A., who, at the request of the Incumbent of St. Paul's, wrote it specially for the occasion of the Queen's Jubilee, and sent it to Mr Nelson with the following neat JLiatin dedication :— .'.' "Ad majorem Dei gloriam atque . in usum Ecclesise Divi Pauli . haec qualiacunque. amico suo dilectissimo C.M.N. ' Dat, dicat, dedicat E.H.G." ' A jubile shall thatfftieth year he unto you. , "Jubilate "—Proudly ringing ■ Comes a voice across the sea, Bidding us, the sons of England, Join the old land's Jubileej— JUBILATK—JuBILAMUS,— ' " With according notes of glee. , '■■>■■-■ Queen and Nation closer blended - •In pur words of welcome meet, , ~ n Knit by fifty years of progress ,; r ( Seldom chequered with defeat ;— Jubilate—Jubilamus, ,; By fair field and crowded street.., , , Though at times the way seem clouded .

FUNERAL OF MONSIGNOR FYNES.

A "solemn Kequiem Mass for the repose of the; late Monsignor Fynes was held this morning at St. Patrick's Cathedral, when His Lordship Bishop Luck officiated, being supported by Deacon Father Downey, Sub- Deacon Father Thomas, and Master of the Ceremonies Father Mac Donald. The coffin was brought from St. John the Baptist Church, Parnell, yesterday afternoon, arid deposited in the Cathedral, at half past three, the body lying in state throughout the night, being visited by numerous members of the congregation! The coffin is of lead, covered with black cloth, and heavily mounted with bi-ass work. The interior is upholstered in purple satin—the colour symbolical of the deceased Monsig nor'srank. Mr C. Little is the undertaker.' At ten o'clock the mass commenced, when a large number of persons were present. His ■ Lordship the Bishop wore a white mitre, black cassock, and dalmatics, the deacons black dalmatics, and Father Mc- Donald a black cape. The alter' was draped with black 'cloth edged with white, as were the walls of the cathedral. On the left hand of the alter, the coffin, covered with wreaths of flowers, stood beneath the black catafalque, the corners" of which were ■looped, up with bunches of white ribbon and

flowers. Bishop Luck, as celebrarit, gar took of Holy Communion in both kinds After the first part of the service, including Gospel of St. John, chapter 11, 21 to 23 verses, had been concluded, His Lordship the Bishop drew to the front of the alter, and supported by his deacon gave a funeral address, lie was not going to give a panegyric upon the deceased, but must say of him, as he had been so well-known and beloved by numbers of persons in Auckland, Panmure and Ho wick during the time that, in the absence of the Bishop, he had had ; the Church of God under his care, there were few persons he (the Bishop) had met with the zeal of the deceased, and he went on to say that there must be many out of the large congregation who had received the holy water of Baptisement at Monsignor Fynes' hands, and had received religious benefit under his protecting care. The deceased, amongst other good qualities, had that of straightforwardness, a quality which he (the Bishop) would be glad to see more common amongst persons. Monsignor. Fynes always carried out what he . attempted, although this course did not of course always please everyone. His truthfulness had indeared him to his parishioners. Bishop Luck | then dilated upon the good work Monsignor Fynes had done in the St. Mary's Industrial School. There was an eloquent sermon preached to them all in the coffin before them. It wasan unction of piety, goodness, and charity. The great life work of,the deceased had been in the cause of Catholic education, to which he had almost entirely devoted 20 years of his life. He had ex pressed his wish ,£hat his body should be buried in the Waikomiti cemetery ; in that part where his brother priests would be lain. Monsignor Fynes had been to him (the speaker) a dear and true friend, and he had had opportunieies of well knowing the worth of that friendship. After mass Bishop Luck and the attendent clergy went into the vestry, and His Lordship assumed the black cope, and then with cross-bearer and acolytes read the last prayer and psalm. The choir having then chanted the Psalms as set forth in the ritual, the Bishop read the collect, and then pronounced the abso lution. The body was then borne out with the following procession :—First came the Children of Mary, under Miss K. Sheehan, the Sisters of. Mercy, and then the Marist Brothers. The cross - bearer came next with the attendant aco lytes with . the , Bishop and clergy. The solemn, sorrowful wail of Miserere me, <kus, now burst from the choir the' officiating priests going through the sacred ceremonies from the oblation of the Host and chalice meanwhile. Father Higgins had charge of the manuals, and Fathers O'Gai'a and Lenihan left the choir. At eleven o'clock the wreaths being re .moved from the coffin, it was removed to the hearse, and a large number of carriages conveying many of our citizens followed it on its way to Waikomiti, where Bishop Luck performed the last offices. The weather throughout was wet arid cold in the extreme. . . '
