TWENTY ONE YEARS IN GAOL.

Death or an Ol_ Convict.

'{'■•v iiMuiari'-nWN _okkksi'o-D_n_,)

Wellington, this day. An old man, Richard Farrell, who has passed 21 years of hia life within tho walls "of colonial prisons, died at the Torrace Gaol on Saturday afternoon, at tho ago of 77. Tho docoa9cd was convicted at tho Napier Supremo Court on tho Ist February, ISCG, boforo Mr Justice .Tohuston, for tho murdor of a man fiamed Foan, aad was sentenced to doath, itopresontations woro, howover, made in his behalf to the Government of the day, and tho result of a numorously signed petition forwardod by tho inhabitants of Napier was that Kir George Groy, tho then Governor of the colony, cornfnulcd tho sentence to im prisonment for lifo. Tho prisoner remainod in Napier Gaol till Novombor, ISS3, whon bo was transferred to tho Mount Cook Gnol. Thero ho was employe! Os cooper and genoral hafidy man until about a month ago, when Mr Garvoy, Governor of the Gaol, noticing that tho old man was becoming feeble and required more care ful treatment than was afforded at tho chief penal establishment, obtained authority I from tho Visiting Austicio for his removal to the Torraco prison. Up to this time Farrell had not been abeont from his duty . Owing to illfiosa for a single day through out hia long poriodin prison. On Saturday afternoon Farroll worn, into tho gaol yard for exercise with the other prisoners, and one of tho nttendants, observing that he eeefned to be faint, carried him back to his t-iaartors in tho Hospital, where he died peaceFully within a few minutes. De ceased was one of the most willing wurkors smongst the inmates of tho gaol, anil he seems to have beon quite -n exemplary prisoner, having never in curred! the slightest punishment for a breach of the prison regulations. His re moval from Mount Cook made him rather melancholy, and ho has sinco frequeutly remarked, in tho most serious manner, that he _M hot know how the workshops carried on there would bo conducted in his absent.. All that is known of to tho his t)ry f>f deceased's antocodont to thecrimo of which ho wasconvicte'd, is that he was an old soldier, having boon in tho 40th Regiment 51 years ago. Ho saw a deal of active service in tho Crimea and elsewhere, for which ho nt ono timo possessed several decorations, ?inel after his arrival in tho colony he en joyed a pension of Sd per day, which was paid to him till forfeited by tho committal of tho folony. which cost him his liberty. It appeal's that when he "shot Form lie was suffering from delirium tremens, and it was on this grounci that tho commutation of his sentence was granted. The possibility of actual reloaso from custody was ever uppermost in tho prisoner's mind. Sovoral times between tho years 1569 and July f.ast year ho addressed petitions to the ■several Governors- of the colony for the remission of his rontenco, and in his requests to tbe chief gaoler and visiting justices this idea always received pro minence. In ono of his petitions Farrell urged fcbat whon ho committed the murder he was under tho improseion that Foan was following him about with the inton- Cion of shooting him, and it was that deception alono which prompted hfni to commit the crimo. In refusing tho request, ono Governor pointed out that it hael been proved that Farrell was liable to paroxysms and clangorous mania, to that the idea of remitting his sontenco could not bo entertained. Every subsequent, petition was refused, on the ground that tho c.-i?o had alroady boen duly considered. The do ceasod had for many years been religiously inclined, and stuelied his Bible diligently, bosides accepting the ministra ions ol Arch deacon Stock. For tho last few wctiks ho has been attondod by Dr. Johnston, tho gaol surgeon.

DISTRICT COURT-This Day.

Dennett's examination took place; utul to-tlny lie was cross-examined by Mr Cotter. He staled tlr.it it waa not true that since losing the last case (Dow's), the directors of his company had been angry with him. It was a mistake Of his when he said at Dow's trial, that he did not see tin- inside of the notices, that is. if he did say so. ■Was not sure if be said so under severe cross examination. Mr Cotter here wanted to put in Hi-Worship's notes as evidence, but that was overruled. Mr Cotter then asked a number of 'lucsiions which Mi-Uonnctt angrily said had nothing to do Willi the case, find were prompted by personal animosity. Ernest Wood, clerk, lately in the employ of the Woollen Company, said that the original list of shareholders was in his handwriting. Thought it was taken from lirst list, made by Wood. Samuel O'Lcary, clerk to the Woollen [Company, gave evidence of posting the notices. Ry Mr Cooper: Saw the printed notices before they wore tilled up. also the call notices, that 13 how ho know what they wero when ho posted (hem. As these notices were cheeked off a share list was referred to.

Mr Georgo Balluntine, practical manager of the Woollen Company, said he had, before there was any practical work to do. helped in the office. He therefore did certain work in con nection with the sending out of the calls.

The Unemployed

At tho Immigration Dopot on Saturday the ofiicials were kept busily occupied in dealing with applications for assistance, and it was not until well in tho aftornoon that the list of rcquisitionists had been disposod of. A recent edict by the Colonial Treasurer, to the effect that relief in tho way of food, or of orders upon storekeepers, Bhould bo stopped, foil with extreme torco upon many who had boen evidently calculating upon a continued supply of victuals from day to day, anti tho ranks of those who aro in search of work havo ovidontly boon a good deal serried as a conscriuonco. Their former chiof spokesman, MCormack, do spite the reprimand which ho received from head quarters for inflammatory conduct anil language, retains a tolerably large follow ing, and on Saturday ovening a precon certed torchlight procession paraded tho main streots, soliciting cash or food con tributions. About 500 persons assembled at the Domain ou Sunday afternoon at tho "unemployed"contre, and to these theChair mati (M'Cormack) explained that during the week they had dono woll, " despito the efforts of the Premier nnd tho Treasurer to tho contrary." They had not acceptod piecework, nor wero they going to do Ed Contributions amounting to ±'_2 had been received ; in addition to presents pf moat, food, and clothing.

It is rumoured that tho mandate of tho Colonial Troaeuror has had tho effect of Weeding out from tho crowds a not incon siderable number of professional " loafers," and of mon from neighbouring colonies, who had beon attracted to Sydnoy for tho prospect of being able to obtain moaJs gratis daily.

Alleged Wife Poisoning.

At tho Kedforn Police Court, William Boughtou was charged with having on February 23 maliciously administered to his wife, Lottie Boughton, a certain poison with intent to ondangor hor health. Mr Williamson dofondod tho accused. Tho first witness called was Constable Harri son, who mado a statement to tho oiled, that shortly oftor 9 o'clock on tho night of tho 23rd ultimo ho wont to No. G. Boacousliolel-torraco, the houso occu pied by tho Broughtons, and found prisoner ard tho prosectri- in the boat of the quarrol. Tho latto showed witnoes hor throat, which bore somo bruscs resombling lingor marks, anil saiel that hor husband had dono it. Boughton e.dmittod tho accusation, but said that bis wife hud caught him by tlio board first, Witness

advised them to mako frionda, which thoy apparently did, and then left tbo houeo. Returning in about an hour's timo, ho found tho woman lyinir on tho bod, vomiting, and caueod an ometic of salt to bo givou to ber. He then wont for a cab, and on hißro turnfound theprosecutrixinsensiblo.and the prisoner in tho room. Tho lattor professed to

know nothing whatevor about tho atlair. Ho then arrested tho prisoner, and took Lottie Botigbton to tho Sydney Hospital. On tho following morning ho took the prisonor to the hospital, and confronted him with the prosecutrix, who stated that he had •j-iven hor poison in a spoon with somo jam, aad said, "I'll throttlo you if you don't take it." Rather than be throttled, she swallowed it. She thought at lirst that ho was goiog to tako it himself. Prisoner said, "Are you aware what yen aro toll ing tho constable is a serious chargo that you aro laying against mo?" Sho le plied, " Oh, yes ; it is all quito truo that I havo told tho constable ;" at which Bough ton exclaimed " Oh, good God, how can you say that?" Witness found in the houso a paper marked " Poison—white precipitate," with some powder and smears of jam on it; alsa a tin of jam three-parts full, with somo white powder on tho top of tho jim, and a spoon with some jam and a white substance. Wm, Hamlet, Government Analyst, deposed to having analysed the jim and powder men tioned in the constable's evidence, and found them to contain white precipitate also the contents of tho stomach, with a similar result, Charlotte Elizabeth Boughton was then placed in tho box, and Btated that at about 6 p.m. on the 23rd ultimo prisoner, on reaching home, became very abusivo and they had a quarrel; ho slapped her in the face, threw her down on the bed, and held her by tho throat till tlie blood came out of her mouth [ when she caught him by tho beard he said, "I will de it again and do it offectually : I will eilenco your tongue for over before the night is over "; witness was going out for assist ance whon he stopped her and said, " You are a fool; you can't do anything ; there were no witnesses in the house ; witnoes then went out, and on her way to the police station met Constable Harrison with three others; Constable Harrison accom panied her back, and after remaining for a time left; as soon as be had gone her husband took the candle and went into tbe kitchen and then into tbe back bedroom ; he came out, and witneßß then heard him moving something on the shelf whero the plateß were ; she then saw him putting something into a spoon from a paper, which she reco_nised as one contain ing white precipitate, as.she had previously mixed it up for her husband to poison vermin with ; ho came up to her holding

tie spoon, and caught her by the arm, say ing, " Take this, or I'll throttle you ;" ho then let go, and said, " Throttlo or this— which is it to beY healeosaid, "You shall show tho constable no marks ;" with that sho took it rather than bo throttlod, prisoner pushing the spoon into her mouth. Thomas Parnell, brother-in-law of tho prosecutrix, stated that ho wont to the prisoner's house on the night of tho 23rd ultimo, ond saw tho prosecutrix lying on the bed in hystorics ; went out to tho Botany-road, whero ho saw tho prisoner, and told him his wife had been taking poisou, and to go for a doctor. He replied "It is only white precipitate, it will only make her sick," and went away. The prisoner, who reserved his defenco, was committed for trial at the next sittings of the Central Criminal Court,

Incidents of the Queensland Floods.

James Wilson, who bad been on an ieland for nine days, wbb rescued with a boat, which was carted twelve miles and rowed six miles to the island. While on the island Wilson sustained life by killing and eating his dog, this being the only food he could obtain. The Comet River was 5 feet over the rail of the central railway line. On the CooktowD railway the water was 5 feet over the Normanby bridge. At Killarney Station the water was five feet deep in the houso.

Fencing and buildingn have "been washed away, tocether wilh large numbc-ts of live stock, including some valuable blood stock belonging to Beauiort Station. A blood stallion was found lodged in the fork of a tree 12 feet from the ground.

The Proussen Smallpox Scare.

Dr. MocLaurin, in his report upon the Preussen smallpox cases, points to several cases that seem to demand instantattention. Thue he says that of tho passongere of tile Preussen SQ'i wero of British nationality, and although the r.teamer, alter having left Antworp, touched ut Southampton, yet those were convoyed from Fiiglund, at the expohse of the company, to Antwerp) and embarked there, with the intention, Dr. MacLaurin thinks, to prevent the l'reussen becoming liable to tho provisions of the :■ Imperial Passengers Act of 1552 and ISG3. Tracing up tho Protiesen'a voyage, tho re port says it is evident that not moro than three persons of those Who came to Sydney had been infected with smallpox before tho arrival ol the stoamor at Albany on tho morning of Decomber 15, 1836. If tho smallpox patient Ou Whorli symptoms had boen developod had been removed from the vessel without delay oil that date, 't is in tho highest degreo probable that tho spread of disease would have been restricted within very narrow limits. But ho was not removed, and ho consoquontly continv.od to bo a oourco of danger until his corpse was taken out of tbe ship and buriod on Decombor 20. Dr. MacLaurin thinks that tbo vessol was not, on arrival in Sydnoy, in a proper state of clonnliness. He is also of opinion that tho discipline on tho voyage, especially in rolation to santi lary mattors, was not what it ought to havo boon, and that passougors woro allowed to do insanitary things, whilst barrels of provisions woro for a lime stowed under bottom berths of passengers. This he attributes to the vessel not being under Hie control of tho Imperial Paseon tiers' Act, which prevented the master having proper authoiity. The report oou cludos, " I would again ropeat to the boai'il my conviction that it tho health officer at Albany had not committed v calomitouserror of judgment in failing to remove tho sick man from tbo ship, a great part, of the n on soqucnt disease find doath would hovB; in nil likelihood, been averted ; and I would again recommend that tho Government should bo urged, in concert with tho othor Australian Governments, to establish such a system of federal quarantine as shall effectually provont any similar occurrence in futuro.

BALTIC PINE V. KAURI.

' , .'..,. ... _* _~ ~ -ii -.m Mcetiugoi Kinkier-' Association.

A si'KuiAL meeting of tho Builders' Associa tion was held at 2 p.m. to-day in tho office; Victoria Arcado, for the purpose of coneider ing Mr T. Mahonoy's conditional offer re sub stitution of kauri for Baltic pine, in speci fications for doors and sashes in Custom house contract. There were present: — Messrs C. Rhodes (President), in the chair, C. S. Wright (Secretary), Davis, Todd, Mell, Wrigloy, McLean, Farrell, Constable, Rosser. Brabazin, Julian, Hewson, Elling hai_, Horbert (New Zealand Timber Com pany), R. Monk, M.H.R. (Mercury Bay Sawmill Company), E. Carr (Union Sash and Door Company), Pollard, Hancock, Clark, Jones, Currie, Kay, Smith, and Bal dock.

Tho President opened the business by stating the result of the deputation yester day to Mr Mahoney, and already re ported fully in these columns. He said ho did not regard the question as peculiarly a builder's ono (dissent). True, it had eminated from the Pro6B, but the build' rs had taken it up ond made it their own (" No, no "). 110 maintained hie assertion. Howover, the builders would not tako tho stand of making any guarantoo to tho orchitocts. That would havo to come from tho timber merchants. [Mr Juliun . But thoy decline to do so ] Unless the tim bor merchants gave that guarantee, he, for ono, as a builder, would decline to accept any alteration of the specification. Mr Pollard took a similar view of the matter. Ho had stuck up tooth and nail for Kauri, but they required a guarantee from tho mills.

In answer to Mr Ellingbam, the Chair man said tbo guarantee of bourse would only apply to the Customhouse contract. 'Mr Carr on behalf of the Union Company undertook to guarantee tho timbor Buppiiod and the work made, but then they would expect to bo paid accordingly. Still they would not supply good timbor to be worked up unskilfully and then be held ro sponsible Mr Herbert, on behalf of the Kew Zealand Company, was also willing to guarantee any work they turned out. It would have to be a verbal guarantee, but as companies they did not wish to t'e placed under obligations which elsewhere the builders had to bear. The classification of timber was a most difficult thing, and required to be done by experts, liko tea mixing and tasting. Conse quently it would have to be paid for. But lor some time past prices hove been cut and cut, until a first-class article could not be cold remuneratively, and the mills wero being worked at a loss Under such circumstances waa it fair to exact" a guarantee from the mills, and place a responsibility upon them ? Let the architects make a bettor state of things.

In answer to Mr Pollard, Mr Julian said that architects would not take the timber merchants' guarantee. Mr Herbert pointed out that to do other wieo would be antagonistic to fair play. The buildeis must noceesarily be primarily responsible to tho architect. Tho sbrink oge clause was an injustite to good work men. Mr Wrigley, as a builder of 20 years standing, denounced the fillet system of stacking timber as a complete failure. (The meeting ia proceeding.]
