but Mrs .Fuller said vory little. I said, further: "If that will were drawn with tho lion's share of the proporty going to Mrs White, the will would be attacked on tho ground of undue influence having been used." He left immediately afterwards, _,and went back to the office. About half-an hour or an hour later Mr Whito called upon him and said, " Cannot a per son do what they like with their own pro perty?" Witness replied, V Most certainly thay can." Mr Whito asked, "Can they nofc will it if thoy like ?" and witness again answered ''Yes " Mr Whito asked, " "then why refuse to draw that will?" Witness then explained at some length that a will drawn under Iho circumstances, and of such a partial character, would surely lead to litigation and the spending ot a con siderable part of the estate in law coets. Mr White thon intimated that as ho was solicitor for Thompson, who was mort gagee of part of the property, ho was de sirous of assisting Thompson to dispoee of the property. V* jtness got " riled "at this, and ehowed Whito tbe door. Prior to this result, witness ha. said that such a -Kill would load to a strong suspicion of undue influence having been used. White then said, "Do you mean to say that I am a swindler?" to which wit ness replied, " You can put your own con struction upon what I have said." Mr Kigby was present during the latter portion of the interview, and witness told Whito that Mr Bigby was going up that afternoon to take the instructions for Mrs Fuller's will. Mr Rigby had not thon scon Mrs Fuller. Ho estimated the present soiling value of tbe Settlers' Hotel at £2,7-0. It was leased for 7 or 10 years- more probably 10-at £G per week. Coke and Culpan's shop bo csti mated to be worth £400, and Scott's £400, Cook and Simpson's between £260 and £280, and tho allotments given to Mrs Low at from £120 to £130. These wero the lowest selling values. Tbe mortgage on the hotel was £800, which would be reduced to £550 by the half proceeds of the bill of sale.

In answer to a question from Mr Cotter, Mr Button said that all bo alleged respect ing Mrs Euller's mental competency was tbat sho was in very feeble health, and that sometimes she was able to transact business and sometimes not.

Mr Cotter said that he could admit all tbis.

Cross-examined by Mr Cotter: Under the Whangaroi will tho daughters' portions were not tied up, and when the later will was prepared Mrs Puller wished Mrs Harri son's portion tied op to her, as Harrison had been inclined to run wild, and Mra Fuller had had to give him monetary as sistance from timo to timo, Ho oould not state (he amounts. He knew there had been disagreements between Mr and Mrs Harrison. Ho also knew that Mrs Fuller hod assisted her eldest eon from time to time. Ho did not ask Mrs Fuller if sho intended Mra Whito to have the bnlk of her property. If Mra Harrison or Mrs Lowe had been in the room when tho instructbns were given he would have thought ns he did about it, but as'they were not, the suspicion dawned upon him after making up hia estimate that undure pressure had boen used. Mrs Fuller did not contradict any of tho instructions given by Mrs White. *Ho stopped short after the realty and tha bill of salo had been disposed of. He did not ask about the personalty. Yot in the Settlers' Hotel there were somo stock in trado and fur niture, the latter being valued at be tween £500 and £600. He did not request cither-Mr or Mrs White to leavo the room. William Rigby, solicitor, practiaing in co-partnerahip with last witness, deposed that on Monday, 30th Angast, Mr Thorno saw Mrs Fuller, and that on that day ho himself saw Mr White for the first time. He was engaged in an interview with Mr Thorne in the latter'a room. Mr Thorne called him and said, "This ia Mr White, Mra Fuller's eon-iti law. Ho has called with reference to her will, and hss been aekiyg ma whether a person can dis pose of bis property by will as he or she may think fit." Witness told Mr Whito that every parson was at liberty to dispose of his property as ho liked, providing there was no undue influ ence. White said, '.' Do you mean to say I used undue influence?" Mr Thorno replied, " It seems like it from the mdden change in Mrs Fuller's mind, and- the fact thafc according to tha instructions of this morning yonr wifo gets ihe lion's share." Mr White got excited and eaid, "Then you mean to say I'm a swindler?" Mr Thorne replied, " You can think of that as you please, and you can get out as soon as you please." Witness arranged with Dr. MacMullen to meat him at Mr White's 'house tho following day at 2 p m-, in order that he should ba present when Mrs Fuller gave her instructions for the will. He w6nt up next day, waited half-an-hour for Dr. MacMullen, and as he did not come he entered Mrs Fuller's bedroom and intro duced himself. Mrs Fuller waa alone, and expressed her pleasure at eecing him. She also said she knew he bad come about the will, as Mr Thorne had tod her ha would como. Ho produced tho instructions given to Mr Thorne tho pre • vious day, and read them over to hor. He then said, "Mr Thorne wished me to sco you alone.bnt with tlio doctor, without Mr and Mrs White being present, &nd to ascer tain from jou that it was really your v.i»h to dispose of your proporty in thia man ner. Of course you aio at liberty to dispose of your property as you like. I am hero simply to, take your instructions of yoarownjfroe^will.without being biassed by anybody." She then eaid it was not her own wish to dispose of the property in tbe manner which had been mentioned, bat that it should be divided equally among all her children except Harry. Sho than said that both Mr and Mrs White had persuaded her that if the pro perty remained a3 in the will prepared by Mr Carrutb, the trustees would sell it as soon as she was dead, and she was afraid in such caso it would be sold at a sacrifice and do her children little good. The bedroom dOor waa open for soma timo after ho went.in, and Mrs Fuller asked him to close it, saying sho thought Mrs White would be about. She furtbor said she was not comfortablo where she was; that she was helpless and unable to do anything for herself, also that it had been her wish to take a houso for herself, but that Mra White had pressed her to go and live there. Mrs Fuller like wise stated that Mrs White had said that if the property were diapoeed of sb she (Mrs White) wanted, it would remain in the hands of the family. WitufißS eaid, " It appears from the figures Mr Thorne marked out that the property so disposed of would be unequally distributed." She replied, "Yes; but. I don't want that. lam quito content with Mr Carrnth's will, but I should not like tbe property cold. I Bhould like it kept at least until Chartey is 21 years of age, and then perhaps it might bo managed between them tbat be should bavo the hotel, i and thej could do as they liked between themselves." Witness said : " There would be no difficulty in' making an arrange- ; ment whereby the- trustees will have no power of salo over tha property whim Charles is under 21 years of age.' She said: " I should like you to make that arrangement," and he rejoined, " I should like yon to consider well, Mrs Fuller, after what baa taken place, bow you wish to.dia ', pose of your property, and whatever jour whhes may be I will endeavour to carry out." About this time Dr. MacMullen came into tho room. Be fore this she bad told witness ehe wished Mr Thompson to be made one of the executors along with Mr Brown. She also told him she barf bought the hotel for £2,500, spent £1,000 on it, and reduced the mortgage to £800; tbat Mr Thompson had dlWaysT-een a good friend to her, that she trusted him implicitly, acd knew he would do what was right in the interests of her children. She also said Mrs White had an objection to Mr Xhomp-an, and thought if he were appointed he would act injuriously to their interests, as he held a mortgage over the hotel, .As to Harry, her eldest sdn, she said she had done a good deal for him already, and all ehe intended to do for him now waa to leave bim £100. As to Char ley, be was not quite 16 years of ago, and had hot been brouahtup as the Others, who were settled. She therefore thought eoroo thlngextra should be done for his mainten ance in addition to his equal eliaro. When Dr. MacMullen came witness introduced :himielf arid exphined to him for what busi ness his presence had been requested. Ho explained Mr Thome's interview of the pre vious day and what had subsequently trans pired'between Mrs Fuller and witness. Mra Fuller then told the doctor that sho wished her property to be equally distributed amongst her children excepting. her_eon. Harry, to whom she wished to leave £100. She also told him Mrs White had wished her to dispose of her property as previously mentioned to Mr Thorne, but that she her self did not wish her property disposed ol until Charley was 21 years of age, bat kept till then, co as to do them most good.. Sane also explained her reasons..again, and wit ness.'eaid finally he would prepare the will aocordinf to these instructions if it was her "wish to do so. She replied that it was. her wish," and thanked the doctor and him self for waiting upon her. He prepared a will embodying those iristruetions, and took it up to Mrs Fuller oh 4th-. September, ao-, . oompanied by Mr Forbes (a clerk, to the office}. He repd it. over .clwje by,clause,' »ud Mrs Fuller di.cuftcd it with bim. bhe i'j-?iErw_iß

expressed her great satisfaction at the pro vision that the trustees should have no pawer of sale unless the children dis agreed as to the manner of division, bhe expressed great satisfaction with the will altogether, and she dnly signed it. He then eaid : « Now, Mrs Fuller, having regard to what has already tnken place on Monday last, as to the instructions given to Mr Thorne, don't you think it would be better if I should Jf! 1 Mf Md Mrs Whito tho effect of this will ." She replied " Yes ; I should be glad if you would do so." She then re quested him to tako the wilt away and leave it mMr Thome's possession. Before leav ing the houso be called Mr and Mra White mto the parlour, told them Mrs Fuller had just signed a will, and then informed them tbat she disapproved of the mann g ot disposition given to Mr Thorne on the previous Monday, that ehe had now ap pointed Thompson and Brown exeoutoi*-, tut ?£ given Harry a legacy of £100, that Charley should bo maintained and put out to business at tho expense of tbo estate, and that the residue should bo equally divided between Mrs Low, Mrs Harrison, Mrs White, and Charley. He also explained the provision re sale of the proporty. That closed the interview. Cross-examined by Mr Cotter: Mrs J- uller told him that Mr and Mrs Whito had put down ou paper tho way they wished the property disposed of, and having eaid so, ! she produced a piece of paper from beneath ! her pillow, and said, " Thore is fche paper," She retained it.

THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.

Charge of Assaultive Captain Johnson,

The charge against Joseph Winter of assaulting Adolph Frederic Johuson by striking him on the face with his clenched fist on tho 31st ult. was proceeded with at the Police Coert to-day, before Colonel Haultain and Mr S. Y. Collins, J.P.'s.

Mr F, Earl appeared for tho accused, and pleaded not guilty. Mr E. Mahony, for the prosecutor, said that until a fow days ago tho accused was a seaman on the Glenelg, of which vessel the informant was master. The accused was within one degree of being a champion light weight, and pretty free with his fists. He was a sort of ringleader in a striko that took place amongst the seaman of the vessel, and proved himself n striker both in figurative and literal sense. Mr Mahony proceeded to explain that the striko amongst the seamen led to the accused and others being paid off. Winter hung about during the day, and subsequently went on board the veseel, and besides using opprobious language assaulted the master of the vessel in such a way that his finger was injured and had to be placed in splints. Under these circumstances, Mr Mahony urged the Bench not to let the man off with the infliction of a fino. He was the repre sentative of a strong body, and the fine would most likely be paid by his friends, and would be no punishment to the accused. He, therefore, asked for the imposition of a sontence of imprisonment. Adolph Frederic Johnson, master of tho Glenelg, deposed that up till a recent date accused was an AB. on that vessel. He was discharged on Monday morning under these circumstances :—When tbo vessel arrived from Waiwera on Saturday evening at seven o'clock, the weather looked threatening, and ho told the chief officer to instruct some of tho men to stay on board. It was accused's turn to stay, aud he re fused, and co also did the other men on board. _ Peterson, ths chief officer, gave thorn notic9 to leavo, and they were dis charge! on Monday morning. Tbe accused was one of those discharged. Bo did not come on board again till seven o'clock that evening, when he jumped on board when witness was coming up the com panion, and said, "What kind of a b — discharge is thia ? ' Accused struck witness and knocked him down, and then aimed another blow at his face. Witness put up his hand to guard the blow, with the result tbat bis littlo finger was dislocated. Win ter was partly under tho influence of liquor, and used very bad language By Mr Earl: The discharge was marked with red ink, which was to sirnify thafc the holder was not to bo "employed on_ tho Company's vessel again. When Winter asked what sort cf discharge he held, witness ordered him off tho vessel. It was not a fact that he was pushing and dragging Winter, when the latcer pushed him down by tho elbow. The " striko" bad not excited witness. Aa soon as he could he ran' to hold Winter till tbe policeman came. He did not hurt the little finger by his fall, or in en deavouring to hold tho accused. Frcm what he had known of the prisoner he had reason to fear that ho would repeat the assault. Prisoner know his duty, but ha was a man of low character and a swearer.

By the Bench : Only one of the men was asked to stay on board. It was a matter of custom, and according to the i__erchant Shipping Act every man was compelled to bo on board when required. The ship had never, to his knowledge, beon loit at night without a man on beard. An officer also remained.

Peter Peterson, chief mate of the Glenelg, deposed to receivirg instructions from the captain to tell ono of the men to remain on board, not to keep watch but to sleep. Witness conveyed the order to the men, when Winter spoke up on behalf of the crew and Eaid they had arranged that no one was to stay on board. Witness told them that tbe consequence was that tbey would have to leave the Ehip, and thoy said, " All right." This was on Saturday evening. He saw Winter about the ship during the day on Monday. ■ About seven o'clock that evening, Winter came on board and asked to see the captain. He used very bad language towards Mr lohnson, who ordered him ashore. He refused to go, and the captain pushed him towards the stage. Winter then slewed round, and shoved tho captain over with his elbow. When the captain got up, Winter struck at him ogam. Nellie Hoey, stewardess of tho Glenelg, saw the accused stiike the captain without provocation. Her evidence was corrobora tive of that given by the two pievioua witnesses.

This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Earl submitted that Mr Mahony's opening address was not justified by the facts. The affair was not by any means so serious as was represented. One would have thought the man wa3 accused of murder, judging from tbe opening address of hi-, friend. If such an oseault had been perpetrated at eea, it would have been a mutiny, and therefore very serious. As a matter of fact, every one was excited respecting the discharge of the men, and it was only natural that Winter should demand an ex planation of the red ink On his dis charge. AH hia previous discharges from the Clansman and other vessels were marked " Very good," and even they were told that he was " very good " on the Glenelg until this terrible affair happened. The captain might have given some explanation when Winter spoke to him, and if he _ had done so the man would have gone qaiotly. A man discharged under such circumstances was entitled to some explanation They were expected to believe that the captain had behaved like a lamb, bufc he held that tbe witneseee were virtually in the employ of the prosecutor, and were biassed in his favour. The evidence for tho defence 'would place tbe matter in a different light. The accused would swear tbat he never struck any blow at tbe captain. There were no blows struck on either side, al though there was a slight scuffle by tbe gangway. His statement would be cor roborated by two other men who saw tbe Joseph Winter was then called, and de posed tbat on other vessels there was no watoh. Tbey had been accustomed to sleep on the Glenelg, but when they found that other orewj did not do it they then decided that if a man remained on watch he should be allowed to stay off duty the next day. Tho captain merely tried to show bis authority in this matter, Vyhen witness found his dischargo written to red ink he did not understand it and went to tho captain to ask bim what it meant. Tho captain pu*.itd him out of the way, and thero was. a sou-lie between them, Witness went down on his knees, and the captain fell, -.he captain ran afc him several times and re newed the scufflo en each occasion, lie never struck tho captain, nor did the cap tain strike him. Ho was not a fighting man, and never commenced a row in Auck land. The captain tore the discbarge when witness showed it to him. ..... .. By Mr Mahony : It was a fact that the captain attacked, grabbed, and held wit ness like a vice three separate times. Witness waa no more like a lamb than was the captain. Hia. temper was as warm as the-captain's, and when a man sensed another his blood was not like milk. Ho was a teetotaller since. Saturday, fnd the only drinks he had had on Monday were two glasses of cider at Pve's refresfbmen t rooms. ,-.."" ,'._. By the Bench : It was the decision of the Seamen's Union that they were not.to stop on board all night, ,-,-■• The Bench: *nd what would happwi you disobeyed!

I Witness: We would be expelled, The Bench : And what harm would that : do you ?

Witness: We could not go on any other ship or steamboat. The Bench : Would tke Glenelg not tako you?

Witness : No, thoy would not. Thomas Matthews corroborated Winter's story. He admitted, in reply to Mr Mahony, that he had refused to go to Wfcaugarei with the Argyle about a month ago because he had boon givon twenty-four hours to leave on the previous day, as the vessel was to be laid up. This was bis reason for leaving tbe Com pany's service. His discharge from the Clansman previously was written in black ink, and not in red. He belonged to the Seamen's Union, but was not a loading member of that body. John Hardy, seaman, Baw Winter going on board with a piece of paper. The cap tain eeized him by tho shoulders, and a scuffle took placo, but witness did not see any blows struck. The captain was as violent as Winter. Witness did not bo long to the Seamen's Union.

Their Worships considered that an assault had been proved, but not of a very violent character. Thoy therefore imposed a fine of £1 and costs. They saw no reason to believe that the accused would repeat the assault, nnd therefore would not bind him over to keep the peace. If tho offence was repeated, accused would then be bound over.

Mr Mahony said ho made the applica tion for sureties because of tbe connection of the accused with the Seamen's Union. Unortunately there was too much unani mity amongst that body. Col. Haultain: But we can't bind the wholo Union over.

Mr Earl asked for a week in which to pay the costs.

Mr Mahony objected, and said the accused received £9 odd last Monday. He was a Bailor, and sailors wore mero carpet baggers, and be held that if time were allowed he would not pay the costs. Tho Bench, however, allowed a' week in whioh to pay the fino and costs amounting to £5 2..

GETTING RID OF A BAILIFF.

Quite a domestic drama is in process of onaotment at tbe Shamrock Hotel in Wellcaley-street. It appears that for some time the landlord has beon going behind with his rent, and at length an ex-landlord, Mr Boborts, was placed in possession. Mr Roberts also had an assistant to take charge during his absence. After 10 o'clock last night, when the hotel had closed, Mr Roberts went out for a stroll, leaving his subordinate in charge of the bar. Shortly afterwards Mr Urquhart remarked to this man that thero was a big row going on outside. This was too big an at traction for the bailiff to resist, and he at once ran to the door to see tha fun. But he was doomed to disappointment; and it, was Mr Urquhart that had the fun, for the row finished as scon as the bailiff was hustled outside, and whon he returned to the bouse he found tbe ■ioor locked. Then he realised that the fight was a " put up job," aud also tbat he had been *' doao." With more energy than wisdem the man went to the rear of tbe premises and effected an entrance through the window, which ho broke for tho purpose. He was warmly received and rapidly sent back by the same way as he came, and for tho remainder of tho night he had to accept the shelter of a neighbouring hostelry. This morning the hotol looked as mournful a-i if thero had beon a death in the family. All the doors and lower win dows were carefully closed, and the blinds drawn. It was rumoured that it was the in oution of the bailiff to break open tbe door at 10 o'clock, but although a few persons gathered to witness tho action it did not come off. Meanwhile the licensee and his family remain coolly holding tbo fort, and smiling down upon thoir old customers who gather from time to time on tho pavement and apparently wonder whan they will be ablo .'gain to i.ueuch thoir thirst, as hitherto. Should the licensee still bold possession and keep the doors closed, there is a probability tbat under the provisions? of tne Act tbe license of tho house may be forfeited. It is therefore probable that tbo proprietor may be compelled to use a golden key iv order to effect an entrance, and thus save tho license of tho hotel.
