•a week home when my father's death took iplaco. I remember the day of his death. I was in tho bedroom, in bed, when 1 hoard ■shots fired, t. was sitting up -in bed, not ■dressed, amusing tho baby. I first hoard ■a man -como to the house and bid father "" Good morning," I did not know the man's voico. I heard my fathor reply " Good cnorning, maßter." The stranger asked my father thon if he could let him have a pound of butter, and father re plied, "Oh, yeß ; carao in and sit down." -father thon asked the man what boat he was off, and the stranger said he waa off the leviot, but that he wanted the butter ier 'iho Tairum A little while after that Ira re minded father of the butter.and lather aaid, "Oh, yea; I'll get the butter." I then .leard somebody rush up the steps and call out, " Put up your hands, Taylor." i recognised that voice as Caffrey's. fathor said, "Oh Johnny, Johnny, don't shoot me," and Caffrey replied •' Put them up; p«t them up." Then I heard three •shots fired. (The witness here tapped on She tabic to indicate the succession of tho .shots, allowing 2 seconds to elapse alter oach.) 1 jumped through the window. After Caffroy's arrival I did not hear the stranger say anything. The laat thing 1 heard him say was to ask for the butter. When tho strangor first camo _ny siater Janie entered my bedroom a Aittle while after that, but before Caffroy's voice waa he_d Janie jumped through the window just before me. I heard no othor aott.ida bosidoa tho firing and tho <:onverJratiou. Just before jumping through the window I heard aomeono come into _Mo. 1 bedroom and slam tho door to. Aftor Igettiug through tha window I jumped over the rence and hid behind a bunch of rushes up the hill. My sister waa biding close alongside me a little ._ighor up the hill. I did not hear anything ; .after the door alammed.

[The wkness here indicated upon the plan No.- '2 bedroom aa being the one she was in whon startled by Caffroy's arrival.] Afcor getting over ' the fence I turned towards tho left to the toitoi buahe a , From whero I was concealed I could see the house and the stockyard, but not the door of the house nor the window of my bedroom. I could sea the fence over which I got and the interven ing ground to whore I was hidden. I did watch tho 'houso from where 1 lay hidden. While hiding I saw mother run ning along _o beach towards tho stock yards. I hoard throe shots whilo I was in the house, and I heard the fourth shot whila 2. was setting over tho fence. When I saw matter running along the beach I saw that twin inthedock with thorod moustache, Perm, running after hor. He ran in front of her, stopped her, and held the revolver to hor, I saw mother clasp hor hands like this [[clasping her hands as if in entreaty], and look up at him. As near as I can romembor about 10 minuto.". elapsed from tho timo of tny getting out of the window until I saw my mother clasp hor hands. Perm had tho revolver in hia left hand, and was taking things out of his right band coat pocket ond putting them into the revolver as if leading it. I then saw Caffrey coming from the direction of the beach and towards 'mother. He went up to her. As near as I can tell, tsbout half an hour elapsed from nay first seeing Perm running after mother j until . saw Caffroy. During that timo j mother had been 'walking backwards and forwards in front of Perm. Perm waa ! et'ill there when Caffrey joined them. Caf- | Irey dill not remain abovp a minute or two. Then ho began to go away, and bockonod [ two or three times to Ponn to follow. Perm j walked a fow steps, and then stopped and (looked back at mother. Caffroy and Perm | then went over the hill together, and I lost I tight of thorn. Ponn had on light trousers, dark coat, and a round Tam-o'-Shanter, ■which looked to bo of a maroon colour. I I was about two hundred yards off when j Perm and Caffrey were with mother. After losing sight of Caffrey and Perm my ! brother, Ustor, mother and myself crossed I tho bay in a fiat-bottomod dingy to Mr Blair's (the Post Offico). My brother | camo up and took us down to the j beach. Wo rcachod Mr Blair's about | 8 o'clock. In crossing the bay we saw j the Sovereign of the Seas, with a black -lag at tho masthead. I saw no ono on the j maat. It was blowing prottjr hard at the time. With that wind, and the shore near at hand, tho cutter could not have beatendown tons if they had wanted to. I did not see | Caffrey before seeing him following my j mother. At this stage (1.10 p.m.), the Court ad journed for luncheon. On resuming at 2.10 p.m., the foreman of the jury said it was tho wish of the jury to j *it until 6 p.m., to expedite business. Hia Honor said ho had no objection but coucsol had to be considered. Mr O'Meagher aaid thero wero eighteen enure witnesses to examine. His Honor suggested that they ehould wait until 5 o'clock, when tha question of adjournment might be considered. Mra Seymour (cross examined by Mr O'Meagher): The intimacy between Caffrey nnd I extended over IS months, when I broke the engagement. I jumped through the window after I heard the three shots fired but tlid not close the window after me. When tbo door of the bedroom was shut it was slammed hurriedly. There waa a wooden latch on the inside of tbe door and an iron lock, j

Proceedings in Bankruptcy.

lZxamir.i-V.6n of Witnesses In Michael

Burkes Estate,

At ten o'clock to-day a number of creditors in the bankrupt eatate of Michael Burke, of Lake Takapuna, gathered at the Official Asa.gneo'a office for the purpoao of hearing tho evidence ol the witneases who were summoned to attend by Mr Lawaon. Mr Sherriff waa present, and atated that his wife was unable to attend, tho doctor having instructed her not to use her feet. Some of the creditors present said that they had scon Mr 3 Sherriff yesterday doing tho work in her house. _ After same slight discussion it was de cidod to take the evidence of Mr Sherriff and the other witnesaea in attendance, and Mra SherrifFs at a later period. Mr Lawaon paid that under tho circum stances he would send for bis eolicitor, Mr Cavo, aa it waa more than likely that the affair would require to be further gone into. Mr Lawaon said that it appeared that practically £35 had beon paid for abcut ±'200 worth of horses and carts. Stoelo Sherriff having boon sworn, [deposed that he waa acquainted with Mr Burke. !

_Mr Dudor then continued tho examina tion. Witnesa deposed that he know Mr Hanna. Asked him to see that the£7s cheque was caabed at the bank for Mr Burko. Ho had no claim against Burkes estate, nnd was not connected with him in any way at the present time. Within the last threo months ha had been mixed up with Burko in contracts. His dealings with him lasted about one month. Ho waa partners in the last contractors for a few days. That contract was purely witneas'a. Burke had nothing with which to carry out the con tract. They took the contract jointly. Burkes interest was ..old to Mrs Sherrifffor __75. Tho contract waa not completed when Burke sold out. Thore waa not much metal broken at that timo.

Mr Hanna, of Whitaker and Russell's, stated with regard to tbo £75 already men tioned that Mrs Shorrilf borrowod £75 from thoir firm, which was paid by hor order and on her behalf to tho debtor, Michael Burke.

Examination continued : Mr Burko had not paid for any metal broken in witness's pit. On tbe 10th of Soptember, whon Bunto sold hia interest in the contract, witness got instructions from Mrs Sheriff's, solicitor, to tako chargo of all tho horses, carts, &c. Thoro was no feed takon ovor at that timo. Witness finished tho contract and hired tho horses from hia wife. Witness's wife bought only the interest in Burkes property, but not his interest in the contract. If witness had already stated that his wife had taken over the contract, ho had done so in orror. Witnoss and Burke had never kept any books. Burke bad forfeited his intoreat in tho contract prior to any horse-foed being purchased. The contract waa to deliver co many yarda of metal at so much per yard. There waß no metal re movod from tho pit until after Burke forfeited his chare of the contract. Burko was not now in witness's employ. He gave a hand now and again just to pass tho timo, but did not got paid any money. Ho understood that witness waa paying for hia board. Burko was not living with wit ness, but waa boarding with witness's wifo. Ono of tho creditors stated that Mr Burko had produced a bill for £S for board and lodgings at tho same time ho had obtained meat, bread, and groceries of storekeepers. As Mr Seaman was in attendance to give evi dence, it was decided to take his ovidence at this stage of tho proceedings. He stated tli.tt Michael Burke and Patrick Archer held an un divided moiety in lot 17_, at Lucas Creek, Parish of Takapuna, 60 acres, valued at £120. There had beon a mortgage of £20 upon it. which he believed had since been puid. Mrillurke also held lots 1.1 and 12, Takapuna, S6 acres and 20 perches, valued at .-.700. On this there .vas a mortgage of £100. Ho felt sure that tlie property would realise £700 at the present time, and with regard to the contract for the delivery of tho metal, the contract had been taken in jointly by Messrs Sheriff and Burke.

Mr Sherriff, under examination by Mr Cave, deposed that he managed hia wife's business for her as sho was unable to do so herself. His wife had nothing to do with the contracts wit ness took with Burke, except that sho got paid for her horses. Witness negotiated the sale of Burkes effects to 11 rs Sheriff. If ho had had tho money he would have bought them himself.. Witness recommended the payment of £70 for Mr Burkes horses, carts und interest in tho land. Witness know what Mrs Sheriff was buy ing for tho _."_. Bid not know how many horsos thero were on the farm. Witnesa did not press Burko to sell the farm. Some of the horses wero not worth tho grass they ate. There was one cow, but sho was more trouble than alio was worth. Ho afterwards sold tho cow for £1. Ho had not sold any of the horses or tho drays. Could not say what tho drays w'cro worth, sonic of them might ho worth £10 each. Everything live and dead belonging to tho place was included in the purchase. Could not say what the crops were worth. The hay was only Ut for bedding, as it waa very coarse. He. waa willing to sell the stack for £12 to anyone. There was no furniture in the dwelling-house. Mr. Burke left tlio farm the nioi'iiing after the pur chase. He had stayed at Mrs Sheriff^ ever since. Burke had no whore else to go. It was not part of the bargain that they were to keop him that way. Any work Burko had done since for witness had been gratis. Ho belived that Burke paid for his board, could not say how much. Witness was not living in the same houso as Mrs Sheriff. He had lived in Burkes house since the purchase. Witness had no objection to Burke staying in Mrs Sheriffs house.

Michael Burke, under examination, stated that ho had given a bill of salo to Mr Price, and tho sale to to Mrs ShoriiF was subject to that. The amount of the bill of sale was £57. The land at Lucas Creek was mortgaged to Air Oli phant for £20. He had no legal title at present; the matter was pending now. Ho had not paid off any portion of that mortgago. He was not positive what his liabilities were whon he sold to Mr Sheriff. He Knew that he owed Mr Duder £35 and also other sums. Ho could not then have said really how ho stood. He was so bothered that ho did not know what he was about. Ho knew what he waa about when he sold out to Mrs. Sheriff. Mi Jones had obtained a judgment ugainst witness before ho sold to Mrs Sheriff. He tried to raise nioncv on his property before he sold, but could not. He had tried both Mr Buddie and Mr Sheriff. Ho had also placed the property In the hands of an agent. The bargain to sell out to Mrs Sheriff was struck in the streets, and partly at the Lake. Mr Sheriff had been In Mr Drassey's office with! witness. He accompanied witness to Mr Brasseya office lo tell Mr Brassey of tho bar gain before Mr Sheriff instructed Messrs Whitaker and Russell in the matter. Mr Brassey knew that the equity of redemption and all the other things were included in the sale to Mrs Sheriff for the £75. Witness in structed Mr Brassey to look after his interests. The amount of purchase money was discussed in Mr Brassey's presence. He know ell particulars. Witness could not say whether tho question o£ tho amount of his debts were ever discussed in Mt Sheriffs presence. Witness paid away the £75 for wages aud various other accounts. £52 was paid to Moore out ol tho £75 received, from Whittakor and Russell on Mrs Sheriffs account. That was for wages and money borrowed. It was a day or two after witness received the £75. Ho paid money to Moore at the Lake, near Mrs Sheriff's house, The money was in bank notes and gold. Wit ness told Mr Brassey that the £50 was for wages. He did not mention the loan. Witness gave a p.n. for tho £50. When he repaid the money he allowed Moore to keep the p.n. The £SI in the particulars was money paid to Mrs Sheriff since the 10th December for board and lodging. He paid it out of the £75. They had no definite arrangement as to the v rice to be paid. Ho had also paid £5 5s for clothts and boots since December. He had paid Mrs Sheriff the sums for board. Did not think he had obtained goods from Mr Duder since ho lodged with Mrs Sheriff. He was not quito positive. Witness had an interest in tho contract up till a few days before he llled. On January 6th, 1886, he had heof from Bond Brothers. That went to Moore at the quarry. Ho also obtained other goods which went to the quarry for tho men.

Mr Bond stated that tho beef had been left at Mrs Sheriff's (lato Burkes) house by the wit ness's orders.

Witness' continued: That the goods wero ordered by tho cook and not by him.

Mr Sheriff said he had taken tho goods from tho cart himself aud carried them into the house.

Mr Lawson : " Then I suppose you will pay Mr Bond."

Mr Sheriff: "Yes, of course I will." Mr Bond said he had no account with Mr Sherrifl'. , ," «.' . Witness continued that it was understood that ho was to receive whatever he was entitled to under the contract. Mrs Sheriff was to pay the men's wages. The goods wero to ho paid for out of the contract money. Ho signed one order for Mr Sheriff to draw £13 odd. - Charles Moore deposed he had known Mr Burke 12 or 13 months, during which time he hud been doing odd jobs for him. Witness had been in his continuous employ. Witness received 10s a week and found from December ISSo till June 1886. After that until September Ist, witness worked for nothing at all. From the Ist September 18S6 to 15th December, he received £1 per week and found. Sometimes he was breaking stones, planting fruit trees, and carpentering, and when he wanted money ho just asked for it and got it. Tho wages from September to December he received in one sum. Witness had suggested to Burke that he had better keep books, but he would not tako the trouble, and on tho loth of December he was cold to leave by Mra Sheriff. £15 was then due to him for wages. That wus paid to him in a lump sum, also some money that was due to witness. -In July l_Sfb witness lent Mir Burke £50, of which £34 2s Ud was due on the 15th December. That was paid with the lump sum of his wages. Witness Burko tho 1.0. U. for the £34 2s lid. Burke gave no acknowledg ment when witness lent him the £00. There was neverjany P.N. nassed between them. Witness had no memorandum of tnese transac tions beyond some entries in hia pocket book. The aettlement took place at the College, near the quarry, on the loth December. He had been staying there since he had left Mr Burkes house. Up till that date he had been living on Burke s farm with him. Witness was at present doing harvest for cither Mr or Mrs Sheriff. Sometimes he was employed on one farm, and some times on the othor. Witness sometimes got his supplies from Mr Sherif. and at other times from Mrs Sheriff. Wi^'ess got the good 3 that were left at the,-. tage. ■ He did not know who had ordered them. He had been working in the ouarry sine,, the 15th December. He was only killing time. He did not really want money. He could always obtain it from home. He expected somebody would pay him for his work, but if they did no. it-would not break his heart. The memo, pro duced was written by brrm either yesterday or this morning and given to Mr Burke. ; ■ 'Aa Lett' Sitting. ■ " r
