SUPREME COURT.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Ward.) Yesterday (Continued).

False Pretences. —In the cases of Paora te Watene, Tuari, and Te Rehutai, who were charged with false pretences, the two former pleaded guilty. The evidence in the latter case was reported yesterday, until the conclusion of the case for the prosecution. — For the defence, Panapa te Nihotahi was fche first witness called. He deposed that the prisoner was working under him on tho railway. He accompanied the prisoner to Mr Johnston's oflice, but could not say on what day. Did not hear prisoner address Mr Johnston. —The prisoner again ad dressed the jury, denying ever having re-' ceived money from Mr Johnston, or falsely representing himself to be Ngahew Paroa.— His Honor shortly reviewed the evidence, after which the jury retired to consider their verdict.—ln about half an hour, the jury returned into Court with_ a verdict of guilty.—His Honor, in passing sentence, remarked that a gross_ fraud had been committed by tho prisoners, both against the Government and their own countrymen. Paora to Watene having pleaded guilty, and also given evidence, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Tuari was sentenced to 12 months, and Te Rehutai having pleaded not guilty, but being proved guilty of both double fraud and forgery, was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for each offence, the sentences to run con secutively. Larceny.— Frederick Blake was charged with the larceny of certain articles, the property of Archibald McKenzie, on tho 7th of June. —Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 18 months' imprison ment with hard labour.

The Urrita Thames Rape Case.—Charles Henry Wight was charged that he did on tho 30th April, 18S7, feloniously ravish and carnally know one Hariata Marakai, against her will.—Mr Cover, instructed by Mr Williamson, conducted the prosecution on behalf of tho Crown, and Mr Thomas Cotter appeared for the defendant. — Mr Williamson, in opening the case for tho prosecution, stated that the alleged rape had been committed at tho Upper Thames on tho morning of Saturday, the 30th April. It was only fair that he should tell them that a defence would be set up to the effect that tho wholo affair was a conspiracy, owing to some previous troubles with the prisoner's family and tho natives. Hariata Mai akai deposed she was the wife of Hoerate te Mimiha. She resided near Ohincmutu. She knew tho family of the prisoner. Sho remembered the 30th of last April. It was a Saturday. Witness and her husband went out in tho morning to search for a pig beforo sunrise. Sho separated from her husband, and while alone tho prisoner rode up and made im proper proposals to her, speaking in the Maori language. Sho ran away, whereupon the prisoner pursuod her, and seized her and committed theoffencefor which he ischarged. Witness called out for assistance, when prisoner rammed his hat in-her mouth and effected his purpose. Sho objected to such action. It was treating her like a beast. After this her husband, a man named Honi, and two women arrived. Her husband then struck the prisoner with a stick, after which ho threw the prisoner off hor to the ground. Witness then told tho prisoner that she should give him in charge of tho police. Witness here described the manner in which she had maltreated the prisoner, but it was unfit for publication. She alsostated that sho was present when her husband cub off a por tion of theprisoner's oar.—By MrCotter: Tho accused had not previously assaulted her.— About 2 years ago her husband had worked for the prisoner, and there had been a dispute about the money. About a fort night previous witness and her sister went to White's farm to pick potatoes. Sho was not turned away by the prisoner. _ She never swore at the prisoner, and did not say to him in Maori, " You shall suffer for this, wait." When her husband arrived he told the prisoner that ho would give him a thrashing. - Mr Cotter examined the witness exhaustively as to all the details of the offcnCe,' bub he did hot shako the evidence very much. —Witness stated that she tore the prisoner's trousers after the offence, also other portions of his clothing. She did not .rub mud in the prisoner's eyes before her husband cub off his ear. She heard the prisoner offor LSO to her husband, but ho said, " Oh, I don't care about that; you have been ill-using my wife." Her husband said, " Where is the L 50?" Prisoner said, "It's at my house." Herhusband callecloutto "Charley Kanaka." that Wight had insulted his wife, and that he had beaten him. Charley made no reply, but she saw his teeth glisten as if he was laughing. Witness kept possession of the prisoners coat and hat. She gave them to her husband to take to the policeman.—lt being then 5.30 o'clock, Mr Cotter deferred further cross-examination, and the Court was adjourned. The witness had been in the box about three hours.

This Day.

At 10 o'clock this morning Mr Cotter continued his cross-examination of the com plainant, Harriata Marakai. Witness iden tified a half-caste named Charles Maunsell as the person she referred to as " Charley Kanaka." Witness changed her clothes before goiag to Paeroa. Witness and her husband were not talking to the prisoner in the paddock about ten minutes prior to the assault..-[Mr McKeagh was then, called in, and witness stated that she did not know him.] Witness stated that she knew Albert Wight. He and McKeagh were not in the potato paddock talking to them before the assault. She did not see Koromea there. She did know-, the man Sampson, present in Court. He had been inher.canoo once or twice when going to Paeroa. He had given -her beer. Her husband never offered her to Sampson and his mates for improper purposes for L 2. These statements' \Vere falsely made only to get money. Witness was a grandmother with two grand children. The charge preferred against the prisoner was not a conspiracy on the part of herself and her husband. She had never had any misunderstanding with the prisoner before.—This concluded the cross examination of the: complainant, which ah together had lasted a little over four hours. —His Honor remarked that all the cross examination had not revealed what had become of the, pig that they were hunt ing at first.—Witness, upon being asked the question, said they had lost it.— Hoerate Mimiha, husband of the last wit ness, deposed to hearing his wife screamon the morning in question, and upon rushing up, he saw his wife upon the ground and the prisoner assaulting her. The back part of tho prisoner's body was quite uncovei'ed. Witness ran up and struck him with his stick. His wife was uncovered. , His wife was resisting. Witness struck' prisoner repeatedly on the back part of the body and across the arms. Witness then threw away tho stick and pulled out his knife. When the prisoner saw that he said not to cut him and he would give him LSO. Wit ness asked where the L 5& was. Prisoner said at his house. Witness said it was all humbug about the LSO ; he would cut his ear off. Ho did not cut the whole of the ear off, but only tho top part. Witness tore prisoner's clothing. [Witness next described the manner in which h e had maltreated the prisoner, but owing to its nature it is not fit for publica tion.] Evidence continued :—Witness told the prisoner that he would go to Paeroa and give information to the police, Prisoner then got on his horse and rode away.' Wit ness and his wife and some companions next went to a small house in the potato field. His companions joined him when he was thrashing the prisoner,

This witness was cross-examined by Mr Cotter at considerable length. There are 15 witnesses yet to be examined.

THAMES LICENSING COM MITTEES.

(by telegram.—own correspondent.)

Thames, this day. Adjourned meetings of the Licensing Com mittees for the Thames Central and South Districts were held yesterday afternoon, and excited considerable interest. In the former district applications for renewal of license for the Queen's and Provincial Hotels were granted, while those for the Junction (Mrßurton)andHazelbank(MrGodkin)were refused. In the case of Mr Burton's hotel the application had been adjourned from last meeting, it being understood that the adjournment was to permit of the Commis sioners visiting tho hotel and ascertaining whether the accommodation was sufficient; but .the Chairman yesterday afternoon denied that sucli was the ground upon which it had been adjonrned. Mr Lush, who ap peared for Mr Burton, contended that it had: been adjourned for this purpose, as the clerk of the Committee, inspector andre porters who were present could testify. The Committee refused to alter their de cision. Tho decision has given riso to con siderable adverse comment, and the action of tho Committee is strongly condemned. It is rumoured there is some likelihood of tho matter being taken to the Supremo Court.

In the South Districb applications for the Globo (Delahunty) and Bendigo (Costello) wero refused. ' The following hotels have been closed up to tho present: City of Glasgow, Golden Eyo, Hazelbank, Junction, Bay View, Commercial, Globe, Bendigo, Coach and Horses, while the Shotover (Tararu) is to bo voluntarily closed by tho owner. A meeting of Parawai Committee will be held to-day, when ib is probable that the only three hotels in tho district will be closed.

SCHOOL INSPECTION.

Letter From Mr Harrison

Mr E. M. C. Harrison, head - master of Boresford-street school, has forwarded to the Secrotary of tho Board of Education the following letter, enclosing tho corres pondence that has taken place on the question of School Inspection : Sir, Will you bo good enough to lay tho following memorandum before tho Board at the next meeting. The number of subjects taught and examined upon in the Fifth and Six Standards, in this school, aro shown in my report to bo (at least) 32. That this state ment is strictly accurated will bo evident from an examination of tho list furnished. Thus, drawing, though appearing in tho syllabus as a subject, is taught and examined upon as four distinct subjects. It will be clear to any practical mind even though unfamiliar with details of school work, that freehanrd model drawing, perspective and geometri cal drawing, cannot bo taught at one and the same sime. Each branch of the sub ject requires separate time and distinct treatment. It will be equally clear that no child can be taught law, citizenship, labour, capital, money and banking at one and tho samo time. Each of these re quires separate time and some modification of treatment; each more or less helps to exhaust tho wholo time spent'in school. The list on page three of printed report laid before the Board is an exact record of tho subjects taught to tho Sixth Standard and examined upon in this school. In all matters not merely of opinion I havo long accustomed myself to proceed with great caution. In matters of evidence I prefer rather to understate than overstate the case, It will bo seen that the number of subject, for the Sixth Standard—each requiring a separate part of the wholo time devoted to school-work —is not fewer than 32, and may fairly bo shown to be even more.—Yours, etc. ,■ E. M. C. Harrison. ' ■;■•■•_

Jubilee Belief Fund.

(To tho Editoj.)

" For tho cause that needs assistance." Sir.—Tho Queen's Jubilee is at present the uppermost thought in every British man and woman's mind. We have illu minations, entertainments, &c, for those who have the money, but, alas ! what do we hear about tho poor who have none? What about their Jubilee? What are Aye going to do for them? It is with a heart full of sorrow and sym pathy for such that we now desire to place before your readers the fact that there aro many around us lacking the bare neces sities of life. All our Benevolent Institu tions are languishing for want of funds; some, indeed, are overdrawn at their bankers and in debt to their contractors. Who will help ? Daily we hear of most dis tressing cases of want and destitution, but wo are powerless to help. Soon we shall hear of cases of starvation and exposure. It is our desire to start a Jubilee Relief Fund, and we shall be most happy to receive gifts of money or kind as wo did last year. Mr Duncan McPherson (city missionary) will undertake to visit all who apply for relief to prove if genuine. We hope to obtain the pound to pound grant from tho Government through tho Chari table Aid Board, as before. All do nations will bo acknowledged in the daily press, and all accounts audited by a public accountant. Will you, Mr Editor, kindly sympathise with us in this work by bring ing it before tho public—We are, yours obediently, F. W. Boynton, Duncan Mc- Pherson, Fort-strtet, Auckland, 17th June 1887.

Election Notices. mo THE ELECTORS" OF NEWTON" Gentlemen,—l have the honour to intimate that I shall bo a candidate for election to the House of Representatives for such portion of the Newton District as shall under the new Representation Act embrace Ponsonby* I am, Your Obedient Servant, THOMAS PEACOCK. TO THE ELECTORS OF EDEN DIS TRICT. Gentlemen.—l find that a number of repre sentative electors in our district are desirous that I should stand as a candidate for your suf frages at the forthcoming election. As I do not think it fair that any Elector should be asked to join in any requisition, or otherwise commit himself to me, without know ing f nlly my political principles and programme, I now beg to subjoin a statement of the same. I have not yet definitely decided to become a candida'e; this will depend upon whether I can arrange my private business so as to allow of my being absent in Wellington for the time necessary to devote to public affairs. This I hope to succeed in arranging, butif not, I shall withdraw from my candidature within a very few days and intimate the same to you. (In this case I shall probably seek your suffrages on some future occasion.) Although personally unknown to many of you, you will find, as the election proceeds, that I am very far indeed from being unknown in New Zealand, which I have made my home now for nearly thirty years, and I venture to hope that you will find me not unfavourably known. Meantime I earnestly trust that the general body of the electors will resist all attempts to obtain promises of their votes until they are in a position to decide upon the important issues which will be placed before them in this elec tion, and have fully heard all the candidates. As I may not have another opportunity of ad dressing the electors of the whole district I beg to ask, as a personal favour to myself from every elector who intends to support me, that he will on all occasions aid in giving to my opponent or opponents the same fair and impartial hear" ing that he desires for the candidate he sup ports. By all means let us havo the enthusiasm of strong and intelligent conviction, with the use of every fair and honourable means of carrying the election, hut let us despise, and brand with disapproval, disgraceful and degrading shifts or trickery, which are the last, and, let us thank God, the desperate resort of blind ignorance and prejudice. . My colours, gentleman, are, I firmly beleive, your colours. If, however, it should turn out that I have been incapable of gauging and of identifying myself with your intelligence, the consequence of the failure must be mine, as I always nail my colours to the mast and fight through. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, J. Aitkin Connell; POLITICAL PRINCIPLES AND PRO GRAMME REFERRED TO. 1. Effective and permanent retrenchment in public expenditure. 2. A vigorous opposition toall increase in the aggregate of the taxation of the colony until every other possible expedient " to make both ends meet," has been exnausted. More particu larly to the imposition of any additional taxation (usually termed "protective duties,") whereby tho already crushing burdens of the great mass of the people would be increased without benefit to the public chest. 3. The encouragement of local manufactures by the removal of all duties upon raw material used in connection with articles manufactured in tho colony not directly "protected," with judicious direct aid from the public purse to young industries likely to prove ultimately self supporting. 4. The recognition of the.immense import ance of the mining industry to the colony, and the adoption of means to promote its growth and success. n .; '5. A vigorous prosecution of the all import ant work of the settlement of the lands of New Zealand by the encouragement of bona fide working settlers of moderate capital, particu larly the encourazement and expansion of the most popular system of settlement — tho de ferred payment system with freehold tenure. 6. Reform of the Native Land Laws with a view to the resumption of the presumptive right of the Crown. 7. The abolition of the differential Legisla tion in favour of natives, whereby they are re lieved from taxation, or otherwise have rights and privileges conferred upon them not enjoyed by the Euoprean population. 8. That Vaile's Railway System, as applied to passenger traffic, shall have immediate trial on the Auckland section of Railways. 9. The curtailment of the borrowing policy with a view to its total abolition at the earliest practicable date. 10. The maintenance of the efficiency and general character of the Educational System primary and secondary, bnt with the abolition of Education Boards and the adoption of other necessary reforms in the direction of economy and improvement, including under this latter hrad the introduction of the daily reading of selected portions of Scripture without comment (with leave to the children of alt parents who object to such reading to absent themselves.) 11. A staunch adherence to the principle of Local Option in respect to the liquor traffic. 12. The reform of the Legislative Council. 13. A loyal adherence to the principles and traditions of the great Liberal party of Eng land as distinguished from the revolutionary, visionary, or Socialistic extreme Radical, and therefore a reliance rather upon economy of ad ministration, common sense, and vigorous in tel igent work, than upon political nostrums, fads, or costly but doubtful experiments to pull the country through. 14. Opposition to the present Government.
