The Onehunga Alleged Arson Case.

Pee investigation of tho charge of nrjffl iioferred against Jamos Saunders Gibbon a connection with tho recent destiuctiot >y fire of hia mill at Onohunga was resumel ,t the R.M Court this morning, befon "apt. Jackson, R.M. Mr Cotter appearei 3f the prosecution, and Mr Hugh Camp ell for the defence. ;'Alex. Win. Hunter, a youth residiug at (iehunga, was the first witness called. Hi imposed that on the evening of October 18 ist, between 9.30 and 10—tho night before |c iiro at Gibbons's mill—he noticed a verj Sin light on the window facing Church' feet. " ! |fey Mr Campbell: He thought afterwards pnight be a reflected light. ?jsy the Bench : The nearest light was a ifelamp, between eighty and a hundred jjrds distant, but it could not be seen from i"c mill window referred to. Archibald Clerk, a youth of some 14 Bprs, living at Norman's Hill, said he ro limbered tho night before the fire. He sard a noise coming from it, also saw what 8| thought waa the reflection of a light. lii the night of the fire, after the 81l was burnt down, saw Gibbons jitl tnld him about the noise, but id not mention seeiug the liyht. ibbons then took witness round to the jet: of the mill, and they found the marks here a horse had lately kicked against the do of tho building. Had not noticed a S|so there on tho night he heard the noise. pought the reflection of light might have aeu tram ages lamp close by. Had never ten the reflection there before, althougfrhe id often passed there before going home. 'By Mr Campbell: It was about halt-past I There were some horses in a padaock flngside the mil!. David Carsons, employed at Roe's saw lills till lately, said on Monday, the ISth, IB day before the fire, he saw a spring trap iiA dray loaded with sawn kauri timber fibbons's mill. There was about 1 350 of timber in the two vehicles, h both belonged to Mr Burnett. After fa fire witness saw Mr Gibbons, and Baid .Phim, •'Ttii? is rather a serious loss ; 1 tSe you are covered by insurance." He id, " No, not to any great extent." He !id also he was insured for i'tOO on the achinery, and £So"nthe building, a'ldiDg it he would have to lose on tho stock, ijch was unioeured. Mr Campbell then by means of tho re it book proved that what tho witness S said was true, and at the earno time • jjwed the receipts were correct. Witness 6w Kerebs. Ha waß more often called

Jney than Ernest. In fact, had never ird him called anything else than Sydney. : knew him to ba " rather fond of telling

[ocular lie now and again." People did

t put very great faith in his veracity. By Mr Cotter : Had known Keroba for , i feral years, and knew nothing personally ninat him. Robert Sheddan, cooper, Durham street, iickland, said he tried to get some staves |m accused some time before the fire, but ib informed that they were all gone to lodacre and Company. They were totara Tea witness had asked, s;xtio3 and 1001b ige. Was rather put out at Gibbons ring sold tho whole of the staves without mess having been allowed to have any. ivea were being made by Cooper, of the ipara Flat?, before tho mill closed, also the New Zealand Timber Company. 1 i'y Mr Campbell: It was months before i fire that witness could not get the yes from Gibbons. Would have con ned to have bought of Gibbons if had continued manufacturing staves, James Goodacre, of the firm of Goodacre d Lee, of Auckland, eaid the mill stopped (rking about three weeks before the fire, 1 witness paid the mill a visit about that c and bought a quantity of staves, aed at £60. Had never bought so many res before from the accused. Had pur ased this comparatively large amount of ives because they had a contract with the Jlow Company on, and got the staves

iaper by buying a lot. Ir Campbell then spoke at length for i defence, quoting from " Starkey on idence," where ho describes the usual ns of a giver of false witness, which ns the learned gentlemen eaid were ictly those of Kerebs, the chief witness

the prosecution.

The Sebright Bivorcc Suit

The adventures of the appropriately named Mias "Giddy" Scott, as revealed during the hearing of the now notorious Sehricrht Nullity Suit, are of a far more extraordinary character than anything one ever read in fiction, The novelist who ventured to dopict such a moan and cowardly young ruffian as Mr Arthur Saunders Sebright, and to represent him aa o welcome guest in society, wou'd indeed be accused of gross cynicism. Nor was ho (Sobright) by any moans the only person who showed up in an unfavourable light during the two days' trial, The foolish "girl's action in putting her name to bills in order to help her lover in his pecuniary difficulties is compre hensible enough, and so is the terror she showed subsequently when Ihrontenod with judgment summonses, bankruptcy and all sorta of mysterious legal process. One cannot, howover, understand altogether why Jlias Oiddy never sought relief by tolling hor mothor,*nor how it was that lady failed to get at tho bottom of the mystery whon sho recognised—as she swears sho did—that somo socrot was turn ing her daughter almost crazy. Tho econo at tho Registrar's office sounds like a bit of molodrama. On tho ono hand wo can picture Sbbright cold hand some and determined ; on tho other poor littlo Miss Scott, furious at boing trappod, yet not liking to rnako a scandal; and thirdly, the mysterious Italian Count guard ing the dooc■ Tost tho irate hoiress should mal;o a bolt of it. Tho Registrar says Miss Scott ?coined out of temper, but that she offered no objoction to the cerotnony. Tho woithy man had not the least suspicion of there boing anything wrong ; no, not oven when tho bride tore the? wedding ring from her finger and with a gesture of shuddering horror flung it into a corner. ' Hs n pity tho Rof-istrar did'nt w-itnesa tho parting botwoen tho newly married pair five minutes lator. Perhaps ho would have felt less cotnfoi table if ho had heard the wife's openly expressed feelings of contempt and loathing for her husband, and that husbands brutal ,rejoinder " you can go whore you like now I've got all I wanted out of you." Some of the witheases were most surprising people. Words fail to express what one feels about " tho dear old friend of tho family," Mr Guodalla. To this gentleman the unfortunate girl n her direst necessity appealed for assistance. Ho had always posed as her elderly admirer and protector, her prenx chevalier, and she fully believed ho would help 8" hor. Nor was Guedalla found wanting. Tho substantial nnancial help which could nlono get the girl out of troublo he certainly emphatically refused but in his capacity of a " dear old friend of the family" he rebuked Miss Giddy for getting into debt, and gave her— mark tho generosity—"excellent advice." Lad^ Scott and her two daughters occu pied seats in Court during the early part of the the trial, but withdrew on Saturday, when the Judge observed that unless a cer tain passages in the plaintiffs pleadings, to which neither side had referred, were :leared up, he should (in event of a decree iisi boing given) have to advipe the Queen'a Proctor to inquire into it. This bore refer mco to a threat of Sebright's who, it was Megod, had told Miss Scott ho would irear in every drawing room in London iat he had seduced her, unless she married Sebright was now put into the wttnefs toc, and asked whether it was true ha had tiiuced Miss Scott. Ho replied, very mphatically, "No, there is not a word of bath iii the story." The young mnn, I my remark, is very nico looking, and haa ilwaya borne tho be^t of characeers with iii family anil friends, who aro thunder tack at recent disclosures. Ho says him & Miss Scott has grossly exaggerated the tets, but that it was impossible he should tmtradict her. The Judge's decesioon on Tuesday, nulli- Ijfog tho marriage, and mulcting Sebright facosts, was received with loud and con tinued cheering, which the ushers found it impossible to suppress?. The best thing Stbright can do is to drown himself, aa no "tctloman will evor again recognise him. UUs " G?ddy " Scott was in Court again od 7ue.=day viih her mother, and listened totbe Judge'sdocieion with marked atten tion, her fata brightening and clearing wonderfully as ho progressed
