Mr Council's Meeting.

To the Editor : Sir,—Referring to your comment in "Table Talk" in connection with the meeting of Eden electors, held in St. Sepulchre's schoolroom on Monday, I agree with your remarks so far that it \vaß a little rowdy, but I cannot agree with you that the meeting ■ was in any sense as a meeting disgraceful. A candidate for public honours must make up his mind to a considerable variety in the character of his recepoions, and is not in my opinion really suited for political life, unless he is prepared to meet his intended constituents in any temper or attitude which they may happen to be in, or may choose to tako up when ho comes before them. Whatever may havo been the ap prehensions or experiences of any of the audience, 1 can assure you that tho speaker, although a little disappointed at not being able to express his thoughts in the order and according to the manner that would havo carried out his original inten tion, yet nevertheless, when lie gathered from tho skilful manner in which the enemy had posted their men and from the evidently unwavering allegiance of theso individuals to their orders, that all hope of being able to deliver an unin terrupted and consecutive address was at an end—l say when he realised this he quite appreciated and enjoyed the superior advantage which the somewhat peculiar form that tho meeting assumed gave him. The opinion of anxious friends to the con trary notwithstanding, the candidate begs publicly to thank tho electioneering agent of tho opposition for tho oil'ective manner in which ho has aided his (Mr Connoll's) candidature. With regard to tho sugges tion which I havo seen somewhero for tho employtnonb of a disciplined body of the police force in future, the candidate, whilst fully recognising tho friendly feeling actuat ing tho suggestion begs to declino the same with thanks. I noticed the presence of two individuals in "bluo," who were doubtless attracted to the meeting either by the irre pressible desire to hear tho opinions of the candidate upon one or other of the advertised subjects, or possibly they may have been under the impression from tho unnatural calmness which* pervaded tho atmosphere in the vicinity of St. Sepul chre's Bchooolroom that something; nad happened in connection with which their valuable services would bo required. I may say, however, that the individuals in question were not invited by me to enter tho schoolroom. As a tactician I had provided for any difficulties of an ex traordinary character ; but none occurred. Seriously, sir, I would nob for a great deal attempt to interfere with Anything like a legitimate. oxpras<uon of the spirit of tho people, my whole inclination being rather to err on the side of latitude. In our civilised and intelligent community, there is always present at every public meeting the element of order in stronger force than the element of disorder. If I had felt that it was cither advisable or necessary to put an end to the persistentinterruptionson Mon day evening, I do not think I was "entirely powerless to do so. I had, however, no such inclination. I havo the greatest pleasure in returning my sincere thanks to the ladies and gentlemen attending the meeting for the good-natured manner in which they bore with so:ne of the peculiarities of the candidate. 1 trust that if the electors will continue to .afford me their kind indul gence, I may do nothing which justly merits their disapproval.—l am, yours, etc., J. AiTKEN Cornell. Fort-street, July 7th, 1837.

Elections in Wellington.

It would appear from a private letter re ceived by an Auckland gentleman from an excellent authority in Wellington, that there is every probability that the Govern ment will gain strength by the elections in the' Wellington district. He believes Buchanan has a fair show of being beaten by Bunny. Beetlmn is expected to get in easily, especially as MoArdle is nearly sure to run for the Bush scat. W. C. Smith is nob at all happy, and it is s?aid he means,to be nominated for two seats —the new con stituency and the , one in the Bush— to see how things will j go.) Ormond and Russell, Hawkes' '' Bay members are considered safe for their respective seats. Macarthur is believed to be safe, although the boundaries do not suit him as well as they might. Things are 'supposed to look bad for j Bruce, ami it is believed that the opposi tion of Arkwright will have the effect ;of settling the balance in Steven's favour. Stevens also' talks of running Wilson, but that gentleman is pretty safe for his seat. Bal'.ance is expected to beat Carson toler ably easily, although the Carson people are sanguine. Bryce will be favoured by taking a piece- of Bruce's constituency, and will get in, no doubt. It seems as if there was some chance of Atkinson being beaten, but I should say not. At the Ha'fct, Izard will enter against Mason , and Fitzherberb, and the latter is most likely to get in. ..Eraser, for To Aro, and A. ;W. Brown, for the new Wellington constituency, are both pretty sure.

Takarangi Mete Mingi, a Waneanui chief, is a candidate for the Western Maori district. Dunedin, this day. Mr Fulton, who seeks re-election for Taieri, had a noisy meeting at Mosgiel last night, but much of the opposition manifested is accounted for by the fact that Mosgiel is the home of the Protection League in Taieri electorate. He was particularly questioned about a gift of £10 he had made to the Salvation Army, and Mr Fulton's explana tion of the matter was that two months ago lie had been asked by a friend if he would give an unbroken horse which he had been unable to sell to the Salvation Army. He wrote down, promising to do so, but on coming down and finding his man had, unknown to him, engaged to sell the horse, he said if it was sold,-.the Army were%to have liberty to have the money paid for it. \ Mr W. Hutchison, in declining to contest Dunedin Central seat, for which a requisi tion had been presented to him, writes : " The Roslyn electors, at an earlier date, also'

asked me to stand for that seat. I am identified with them, and enjoy their con fidence. I havo therefore resolved to stand or fall with their fortunes in this contest."

A REMARKABLE CHARGE.

THE FSS&IgUAIERY KiECirJB HOOK.

At the Police Court this morning, beforo C. D. Whitcombc, J. Duncan, unci J. P. KingjJustices, a respectably-dressed young man named Herbert Henry Burnett was charged that ho " did on or about the 18th May, 1897, at Auckland feloniously steal, take and carry away a certain manu script recipe book of the value of £100, iho property of one Theodore Alexander Brunei I'iesse, being an indictable oilenee." Mr 11. Campbell appeared lor the (ieleii dant, Mr Theo. Cooper for the prosecution. Mr Cooper, in opening the case, said the book the defendant was alleged to have stolen was a MS. essence recipe book con taining the recipes for the manufacture of the well-known perfumed 'of l'ie.sse and Lubin, in which linn the prosecutor at one time hold an interest, lie thought when the Bench had heard all the laces, of the cuso they would have no option but to send it to a jury, whatever might be the ultimate opinion of the jury as to the guilt of the defendant. He then proceeded to define the law of larceny as the felonious taking of the property of another, with out Unit other's consent, against his will, and with the intent of converting it to the taker's use. He must lirst prove that the taking was animo furundi , and also against the owner's will, and ho must also prove the third ingredient of the ollence— the conversion of the articlo to the owner's use. He could prove—indeed he did not think it would be denied--that the defendant took the book. He should bo able to prove that Piesse and tho defendant -wero fellow passengers in the ship Doric, which Piosso lef tatHobart. The two became veryi riendly, and when subsequently Piesso came on to Auckland the frendship was renewed and Piesse lived at defendant's house.paying for his board. Piesse took his personal luggage to defendant's house, but left a box which would be designated " wharf luggage " at the Auckland Harbour Board shed. In the month of December last Piesse had run up an account with the defendant and as Piesse was desirous of leaving Auckland and as defendant was anxious for a settle ment it was arranged that if P.iesso did not reclaim his portmanteau within 10 days from date of arrangement, defendant would be i empowered to dispose of it as he thought fit in satisfaction of his claim for L 25. This was signed on December 2nd, and so far as Piesse understood, tho only property in defendant's custody, and the only property to which the agreement referred was the personal luggage. In the wharf luggage was the booU, the subject of this proceeding ; it was not in defendant's custody. Some short time after December 2nd, Piesse left for Gisborne, and shortly afterwards Piesse re ceived a letter from defendant stating that tie had paid storage on goods stored at shed and had had them transferred to his resi dence.. Now came the first link in the chain of circumstantial evidence showing felonious intent. Despite the fact that the letter was dated about December 15th, they could prove that defendant had got possession of that box on December 3rd, i.e., while Piesse was still in Auckland and living in defendant's house. The letter was written ambiguously, and intended to make Piesse believe that on December loth he had lirst got possession of the box, ' .whereas he had got it/many days previously. This was the iirsb element of deception. They would then prove that the'tempta tion to possess the book iirst took possession of defendant's mind, and he broke open the box. lie had already intimated that •there was an act of deception in ob taining possession of the box, and also that there was an act of trespass in opening tho box. He would show that when de fendant obtained possession of the book he sat up all night and copied it and put it back in the box; and then came the second act of deception. In a letter written by defendant . to Piesse six weeks after he said he had taken tho wrong luggage, defendant asked Piesse's instructions' regarding the wharf luggage and mentioned, .that there were 'no letters and papers of ' Piesse's amongst the property : ex cept a diary. Another letter showed that the defendent subsequently wrote to Piesse offering to send him a number of articles that had teen in the wharf luggage in answer to which ho no doubt hoped to obtain authority- for the removal of the luggage which lie had previously taken that was how the matter stood until May. Barnett had even taken steps to, got copies of the book photographed showing he thought it of value. . Defendant" subse quently wont to Sharland and Go's, and actually suggested an agreement with them that he was to receive remuneration com* mencing at L 125 per annum and running up to LI,OOO pei annum. This was refused. Afterwards an agreement drawn up by de fendant was entered into whereby the de fendant was to receive, LIOO for a copy of the book. f The transaction was conducted in his wife's name and all terms and stipula- were made, which he said was sugges tive of the knowledge that he obtained the book' feloniously, ' Piesse was a man of irregwlar habits, and, no .doubt, defendant thought that $ he woul not returned to Auckland and that there would be no further trouble about it. Defendant's own statement showed that he thought he had a good thing in the book. He had stated that lie would sell a copy of it for. LI 00 to Sharland and Co. ;, then take it to Melbourne and get LIOO for itv; then to Sydney and get LIOO for it: and then to New York, and afterwards take it to London to - Piesse and Lnbin, and 'say to them, "Here's your original, recipe book : , give me Ll,ooo,'or I. will publish to the world." Another important piece of evidence was the fact that defendant had ; intimated that he would send the recipe book to his father and posted a blank, diary addressed to his father. Piesse had given Mr Brookfield a power of attorney to deal with this book and when defendant found, it out he sent Piesse an ambiguous letter asking him to revoke the power pf attorney at once. Mx

Cooper, in conclusion, said if he could prove what he had said in his opening speech, he thought the Bench would agree with him that a yrrima facia case ■ had been established. The Court adjourned till two o'clock. On resuming at 2 o'clock, Mr Cooper calletl ' Theodore Alexander Brunei Piesse, who deposed: "I am a manufacturing per fumer, at present residing in Auckland. I was connected with the London (inn of Piesse and Lubin—a son of the senior partner. I left England about 18 months ago by the Doric, which I left at Hobart. The defend ant was a fellow-passenger of mine, but I had not known liim previously When I left the ship at Hobart, I left on board a portmanteau and a box, which came on to Auckland. I resided for some time in the other colonies, and came on to Auck ■land last Julj', and renewed my acquaint ance with the defendant. On arrival hew I fouud that the luggage that had on here was in charge of the Customs W-r. I took the luggage. I brought with mo to Barnett's house where I resided untvA December last. I did not remove the whaft* luggage from the shed. When I left Barrett's house I gave Barnett an agreement empowering him to sell my port manieux, unless 1 paid him L 25 — the amount I owed him for board — if I did not redeem them within ten days. The box at the wharf was npbjheu tioned in that agreement at all. I left Auckland on December 7th, three days after signing the agreement. Prior to leaving Auckland I gave Mr Barnett verbal permission to take the box at the v v jf and convert it into money, but my letters and papers therein were to bo sent to me. Air Theo. Cooper here called for the pro duction of the recipe-book. l.Tr Campbell said : I decline to produce the book. The whole object of tho prosecu tion is to obtain the book to copy it, and I declino to give it up. Examination continued : The book was in in,/ handwriting and waa one of my private papers. I did not givo defendant I anything tokeepatiyofmyarfciclesforhis own purpwe. Up to the time I leiD 'Vuckla-iid i die l not know that the box was in de feiK-.-n>Vs ■pb.x.iesHion.
