IRISH RIOTS.

OFFICIAL REPORT.

(SPECIAL TO PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

London, September 12.

The latest reports of the riots at Mitchelstown, County Cork, show that the casualties were at first exag gerated. It has been ascertained that the injured number 50, and are princi pally policemen. Of the rioters who were shot, only one was killed, but two others are not expected to recover.

Mr Sexton, M.P., has challenged the Government to justify Mr Balfour's as sertion in the House of Commons, that Mr Condon incited the crowd to op pose the presence of official reporters at the meeting and exclude them by force.

The official report of the riot states that on the police being attacked, they retreated to the barracks, and on being again attacked there they fired in self defence, the rioters incurring just re tribution.

CHARGE OF PERJURY.

Proceedings at the Supreme Court

The case against Hocara te Mimiha was proceeded with at the Supreme Court yes terday and to-day, before His Honor Mr Justice Ward and a jtify* J-t Mr Cotter conducted the prosecution, and Mr Dufaur the defence.—Mr W. Hammond, Native In terpreter, was recalled by the prosecution. He deposed that he was quite certain that the prisoner Hoeara fully understood the questions put; to him through witness b~y Mr Cotter at the last sessions.— By Mr Dufaur : Witness had learned the native language at St. John's College. He had never lived with natives, but had had them working for him on ft farm. It waa often difficult to translate to natives the questions put by lawyers who did not understand the native language.— By Mr Cotter : He had been interpreter in the Native Lands Court for 15 years prior to being made Registrar of the Native Lands Court. With regard to the tearing off of Wight's trousers, witness had repeated the question to Hoeara, as he feared that he was making a mistake, but the reply received was a distinct repetition of the former one.— Teneia (a native man) WAS albtSoftUcd tb givte evidence for the prowfcvUiof), to prove that the native woman spent the night in the runanga-houne prior to the assault., The witness was cross-examined ht some length by Mr Dufaur.— Charles VVijJhfc was then recalled at the request of Mr Dufaur. In answer It questions he deposed that Hon© Tvoronaho came to witness after the assault. Witness said to him, "Go away, you are one of those who almost killed me. I won't have anything to say to you." witness then ordered him to leave the place. He had previously been on friendly terms with him. He had never lived in a hut with Hone's eistef. He was not on such terms with her. He never had anything to do With her. The woman Was now dead. He did not know Whether or no she died pregnftnt.-~TeV<*M!v was then re called. He deported co hearing Charles Wight acctlw*} Hone Koronaho of assaulting him. When Koronaho asked for his money for Work done it wa,s not given him. Koro naho did ask Wight whyhe was accused of assaulting him. He could not remember what reply Wight made.—This concluded the case for the prosecution.—Mr Dufaur then opened the case for the defence. He pointed out that the whole question hung upon the point as to whether or not Charles Wight had assaulted the prisoner's wife. That he had done so the woman Harinta Marakui^ would be pld'cfed ih the wit ness-box to sweai\ Two other native women Would bli produced to swear that they saw the prisoner in close jjPoximity to tb© prisoner's wife. The,V blight be sur prised that the constable for the district should be eallttvt Isr the defence instead of on behalf Of the Crown, but he might ex plain to them that when at the conclusion of the last session the natives were committed for perjury, and the Wights returned home triumphant, so much indig nation was felt in the Paeioa district that pressure -was brought to bear upon the Go vernment, with the result that Con stable Mitchell was specially instructed to try and elicit the truth of the case. In consequence of these instructions he had been making inquiries, and was therefore called on behalf of the defence.— The first witness called for the defence was Charles Edward Wight. He deposed in continuation of previous evidence, that he never heard Koroiitiho ask why he was accused of being' Con nected with the assault-.—By Mr Cotter: He -was positive that Korohaho Was one of the persons who assaulted him.— Teneia was again recalled to continue his evidence, this time on behalf of the defence. He heard Koronaho and Wight having an altercation about a woman, but could not remember what passed. He soon wenfc away when they commenced to qunrrel.— Paraku Rapana deposed to being present at the meeting in Wight's stable—Teneia was present. A discussion did take place between Koronaho and Charles Wight. It was about Koronaho's money not being handed over. They also disputed about some pigs. Koronaho also expressed an noyance at the trouble Hoeara had caused. Mr Dufaur asked leave to treat the witness as a hostile one. — His Honor refused to grant such permission, reminding Mr Dufaur that the witness had now been called for the defence.—Hariata Marakai deposed that she was duly married to the prisoner in the Maori Church. —His Honor pointed out that such being the case, she could not give evidence against her husband.—Mr Dufaur said that he was previously unaware that they were married, having taken it fov granted that they had simply been living together. Mariata was the next witness called. She deposed to being present at the assault on the 30th of April. She spent the previous night in the Long House playing cards. Witness then repeated the evidence given at last session relative to the assault. The cross examination of this witness by Mr Cotter was very lengthy.

On the Court resuming this morning, Mr Dufaur asked permission to' recall the wit ness Teneia, as he had asked to be allowed to make an explanation.—As Mr Cotter offered no objection, His Honor granted the request.—Teneia was accordingly recalled, and said that Mr Dufaur said to them, " You have a strong desire to conceal the truth against your friends." Witness re plied that he was somewhat confused about that matter, and that was why he was unable to answer. He said to Mr Dufaur " Friend, that statement is quite true, but I had somewhat forgotten what was said." Then witness's companion Tupare said, " What Koronaho said was—" [His Honor ruled the remainder of the reply out of order.] Witness continued that yes terday he was somewhat confused, butnowhe recollected some portion of the conversation. Mr Dufaur told him not to speak falsely or conceal the truth. The witness then pro ceeded to explain certain discrepancies in the evidence. He stated that Charles Henry Wight had stated that it was false when hesaid that Koronaho had nssaultedhiir Koronaho deposed that he was the husband of Te Maraiti. The night preceding the as sault he was playing cards in the Runanga House. They burned one candle while they played. Witness was the bank. The game was what pakehas called "loo." When the game finished wit ness and his wife slept in the potato house. Honi also slept in the potato house. When he got up in the morning he did not see either Charles Wight or McGee in the potato paddock near the house. He was sitting in the house when he heard Hoaera saying to Charles Wight, " Go : your father has discovered your bad work to my wife." That was after Honi had woke him and said "Friend! friend! get up." [His Honor ruled the remainder of the reply out of order.] Witness continued :—He did nob see Hoaera, but merely heard his voice. Te Mariata had then come to the house. She had been out, but he did not know of his own knowledge where Te Mari ata had been. When awakened by Honi witness was alone in the house. Tita and Mariata Avere absent, and came back together. When he went with others subsequently to Charles Wight's house to get payment for cutting chaff, Charles Wight, who speaks Maori, refused to pay witness and Rewi the money due to them. Witness asked for it, when Charles Wight said, " Why did you two allow your wives to go and tell lies ?" Witness replied, " You are the only person who has told lies. You stated that I as saulted you." Wight replied, "It is true, but it is not my doing." They did not re ceive their money, and went away. They had not yet got their money.—Mr Dufaur pointed out that in Maori the reply, "It is true," practically nisant an assent to Koro naho's statement. He asked that the

witness should be allowed to explain1.-Hi^ Honor said that the reply as interpreted was sufficient.-Mr Brown, upon being asked by His Honor, said that he was rather in doubt himself what the witness meant He had simply given a literal translation of the witness's reply.-His Honor said that the literal i'eply was all that could be taken, as the witness could no, bo ex pected to explain the meaning of Charts Wight's expression. Witness was arrested at VaerOU oil the charge Of assaulting Charles Wicrhfc. He had never at any time taken part in any assault upon Charles Vi ight. Wight was an intimate friend of witness s, because he lived with witness's cousin.— By Mr Cotter: He did not tell any man that he helped to hold Charles Wight down. He did not go to a football match. He did not know James Brady, or Adam McConnel, or Thomas Snodgrass. (Brady was produced, but the witness did not know him).—Examination continued: That was tho first time witness had seen him. Did not tell Brady at the foot ball match that lie had held Wight s hand while Hoeara cut off his ear.—Mr Cotter cross-examined this Witness at great length. Constable AM iiHfflSS Mltuhgll, Stationed at Paerda, deposetl that dn1 Saturday, the 30th of April, he heard frohi Hoera add others that an assault had been com mitted, and he laid an information against Charles Wight for rape. It was sworn before Mr Kenny at Paeroa. About a quarter to two o'clock that after noon ho saw Albert Wight at the station. Witness did not send for Wight. Witness expressed sorrow at the trouble Charley was in. Albert Wight replied, " Yes, I came to ask you to make it as light as you could for him." Albert Wight remarked "Heis a d d fool to be had like that. They have trapped him that's what they have done. That woman was tilsvays running aftor Charlie. The bkek Watches knew that there was hb oho about, so they _ have made up tin's charge against him to try and get money." He again asked wit ness not to be hard on his brother, not tor his sake, but for his mother's, who had been sick for some time. (Left sitting.)

BANKRUPTCY NEWS.

William Learmontii was examined on oath by the Official Assignee this morning. He made tho following statement:—About the middle of January, 1884, I took over my brother David's bakery business and plant at K&wakawa. He owed mo money for wages, antl what he haiided over to me was a set-off agaihfct this. In addition to the business and plant I had £50 in money, and owed nothing. My credit was good, but I did not avail myself of it until after I had been in business '20 months, when I was in duced by a firm I dealt with to take over another bakery and store business, then on their hands. I gave p.n.'s at three, six, nine, and 12 months for £177, and a rental of 25s a week. On taking possession, I found many of the eoods damaged and unsaleable. It Mas a bad bargain, and hampered me very seriously to meet the bills, etc. I duly met three of the p.n.'s, but when the fourth became due I had only part of the money ready. The firm renewed the balance, which has since been met. I never recovered myself. I went on from hand to mouth, getting credit grudgingly from the firm who induced me to take the new business. Eventually, about three months ago, they stopped supplies. Another house which I had dealt with con tinued their credit on my bills t and, owing to my Inability to meet them, I was served with a writ on the 3rd August, returnable on the 18th, upon which I called my creditors together. My estate was as signed to two of my principal creditors, in trust for the general body. The business was carried on for a week, and then closed ; part of the stock-in-trade has since been sold. My liability is as follows: Unsecured, £"710 13s lOtl ; secured, ! £285 } total, £995 13s lOcl. Assets : Stock'in-trade, etc., .-6200 ; book debts, estimated to produce £80 ; cash in bank, £4 14s ; household furniture, £15 ; horse and cart, £20 ; and surplus from securities in the hands of secured creditors, £105 : total, £424 14s. The whole of unsecured liability, except £120, was incurred cm trade account. The £120 is owing to my brother David—for wages, £70, and money lent on December 31st, 1886, £50. I am quite aware that my brother is an uncertih'cated bankrupt, and also that he had no estate when he filed, and that he has only within the last few days paid in to the Official Assignee costs of his bank ruptcy proceedings, preparatory to an ap plication for discharge, although he liled in June, 1865. He worked for me after he iilcd. If he told the Official Assignee, when under examination, that I only paid him 20s per week is not true. What 1 did pay him was 35s a week and his board. He is a single man. He is a careful man, and I suppose he had saved the £50 he lent me. At the time I borrowed this money I owed him about £17 10s for wages, and this has since been increased to £70. He is now out of work, and started last Saturday for Greyniouth in search of employment. All he had when he left was £5. In addition to the secured properties, I have a quarter-acre section at; Kaikohe, unencumbered, worth £10. Be yond this and what is disclosed in my sche dulo, I have nothing whatever in the nature of assets. I have no possible means of making an offer in the way of compromise. William Lee, under examination by the Official Assighee to-day, said :— I am a builder by trade. I commenced business on my own account about eight years ago. 1 had £180 in cash and was free from debt. I bought sections in the Mount Eden district, and built houses for s-.ale. I did fairly well until six months ago, when, owing to the difficulty of realising property, I began to feel short of cash. In May last a friend of mine wanted £20 for a month, and I gave him my p.n., which he undertook to meet at due date. He did not do so, and the holder sued me, got judgment, and I Was.ordered to ftay within a month or go to gaol. The month expires on the 30th inst., and not being in a position to pay, I consulted my principal creditors, and they advised me to file. The properties have cost me the amounts which I now value them at, but I am satisfied that at present they will not realise more than the mortgages, excepting probably the Northcote property (No. 7) and Be'llwoocl (No. 5) ; there should be some margin in these, but it is impossible to say what. My only other asset is furniture, which I estimate at £22, and I am satisfied if it was put up at auction it would not bring £15. My unsecured debts amount to £267 9s Id, of which about £56 is for household expenses,' whilo the remainder is for material and woik on the various properties with the exception of £26 15s, the amount of the p.n. referred to with costs added. I have nothing nor any interest in anything excepting what is disclosed in my schedule. At the time I gave this p. n. I owed the party £5, and I subsequently ran the account up to £14, so there is £6 due to the estate.

The meeting of John Alfred Brain's creditors lapsed yesterday and lapsed again to-day. The Assignee will now proceed to realise on the estate.

Just before the Supreme Court adjourned for lunch to-day a Constable made his ap pearance bearing in his hands a pair of boots and a letter. The envelope was handed to the judge, who, upon read ing the note, burst into laughter. It then transpired that the foreman ot the jury had by mistake this morn ing put on another person's boots this morning at the Imperial Hotel. In order to effect the change, permission had to be obtained from the judge, which it is needless to state was Drompfciy granted.
