LATE PARLIAMENTARY.

MAJOR ATKINSON AND THE

PREMIER.

Wellington, this day.

Major Atkinson had an interviow with tho Premier to-day for the purpose of offering to assist him to got ovor the difficulty. The Premier showed annoyance at the resolution passed last night, and said he would not take any notice of it. He shewed no disposition to avail himsolf of the overtures made, and' Major Atkinson left without anything being done. The Representation Bill. The Opposition are now determined to oppose supply persistently till tho Repre sentation Bill is finally disposed of. It is believed that tho bill will be brought down to-day by a message from the Governor with tho proposed amendment by the excision of the McKenzie clause, and if so, it is believed it will get throusrh at one sitting, despite the intended Blmcwolling. An Extreme Step €onu- ..,,i>la*cd-

In the event of the Government persisting in their opposition to. the wishes of the Hfmse.JSir Geo. .Greytconteraplates moving a resolution memorialising the Governor to remove them from-the Benches. He has been asked as an independent member to take this course, and is promised consider able support. Native Affairs. At the meeting of the Native Affairs Committee to-day, the bill amending the -Native Land Administration Act came up *or consideration, when Taipua agreed to defer, it until next session. Press Opinions- Regarding last night's vote, the " Post" says : —The practical meaning of Major' Atkinson's amendment was 'that the House resolved to inform the Gc^ vernor that it had no confidence in the good faith or pledges of his advisers. Ifc was a much graver censure than the previous vote disapproving of the financial policy of. the Ministry. Major Atkinson made a capital speech in justification of the extreme action he was inviting the House to take. ■ His taunts and accusations fairly roused the Premier, who replied in an excited manner, and, allowing his temper to get the better of him, made'some statements which we ex pect he will regret in his cooler moments. Thus Major Atkinson having alluded to the fact that the press of the colony is almost unanimous in its! condemnation of the Ministerial policy and proceedings, Sir Robert Stout had the bad taste (to lise no stronger term) to declare that the papers which opposed him were insolf vent concerns, managed in the interests o the banks and loan companies. There may be some papers not in an independent financial condition, as there may be lawyers or even Ministers who are not either rich or independent .of financial con -1 siderations, but no one knows better than Sir Robert Stout that there are many papers in this colony quite as independent of, such. influences as he referred to as he is himself. It is a poor style of argument which at tributes anworthy I; arid dishonest^ motives to an opponent. Sir Robert Stout owes an apology to the press, for his un ifduncle'd and untruthful abatement'-of last night. The Premier is rather too fond of challenging the House and vaunting his own loyalty and truthfulness." In conclusion, tho ■"article':says, " Never was a. Ministry more thoroughly.humiliated than was Sir Robert Stout's yesterday."

A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Edward Beauchamp Singleton Mower was held this morning at the office of the Official Assignee. •■' Present: The debtor and j his solicitor and Messrs King, Hesketh, and G. Aickin. After discussion it was resoh red on the motion of Mr G. Aickin, seconded by Mr Hesketh, "That: the creditors present see no objection to the discharge of the bankrupt being facilitated, and, further-, that he be allowed to retain 'his household furniture, 'valued at £20, and photographic apparatus, value £15. The Assignee said that this was a case of giving away assets to the estimated value of £35 {out of which the debtor was entitled to £25 for furniture and tools of trade), creditors representing only £15 against "• a total indebtedness of £334, out of which £200 was owing to the bankrupt's mother who resides in ■England. The meeting was a general one, and absent.creditors might not feel dis posed to be bound by the resolution. How ever, as the | debtor's wife had volun tarily surrendered the Parnell prop erty, estimated to produce £150, for the benefit of his creditors^ it was probable that there would be no objection made, and he would act upon the resolution subject to the absent creditors not objecting. The following candidates ■ have been nominated to fill the vacancy caused in the Grafton Ward by the retirement of Cr, Clark :—Mr Edward Parsons and Mr James Patterson. The election take place on the 16th inst. . '■.. - ~ ■•*•/'• - ..

A COMPROMISE ARRANGED.

Maior Atkinson will move the adjourn ment oi the House till 7.30, to enable a reply to be obtained from Hi? Excellency as to yesterday's resolution. The Premier will consent.

THROWING VITRIOL.

CASE BEFORE THE COURT.

At tho Police Court this morning, before Messrs S. Y. Collins and A. Boardman, justices, Charles Patterson was charged with unlawfully throwing vitriol on one Isabella Cowderoy, with intent to do her grevions be iiy harm. Mr Napier appeared for the accused. Isabella Cowderoy, wife of Richard John Cowderoy, doposed that sho resi ded at Beresford ■ street with one Jane Keefe. Witness's husband was ab sent. On .the evening of Saturday last witness went to Newton in company with Miss Kcefe, and at the corner of Bores ford-street saw. the prisoner, who followed them to a butcher shop in Newton, and waited outside the door. Witness subse quently went to McPhcrson's. draper, prisoner still following. Witness and her friend then wont clown Queon - street, in tho middlo of the road, and there sho saw the prisoner on the right-hand side of the street near Wyndham-street, and sho crossed over to the dark side of tho street to avoid prisoner. On coming up Queen street she met the prisoner again. He jostled up against witness and asked, "Will I como home with you to-night?" Witness made no reply, and prisoner stood looking at her. She felt very confused. Mis 3 Keefe said, " Oh, there is grease on your cloak." On examining the cloak she found it"was sprinkled witlrsomething red, and all going to pieces. Witness had gloves on her hand, (glove very much stained, produced) ehVgot the stains on her gloves while examining the cloak. Witness went to King's, chemist, and that gentle man informed her that the stains wero caused by vitriol. Sho then, saw a police man and made complaint, and subse quently saw Dctectivo Doolan and gave in formation of tho occurence. (Atthisjstage witness's cloak was produced in Court. It wa3 mud stained and burnt, as if with sul phuric acid. Prisoner was at one time lodged with witness—that was eight months ago, while her husband was here. Prisoner left because he was told to.

' Mr Napier objected to evidence of prior acts being given, as this was an indictable offence. He quoted the ruling of the judge of the Court of Appeal on a charge against Thomas Hall, of murdering Captain Cain, in support of this contention, and submitted that this precedent rendered the evidence inadmissable.

Tho Bench thought the evidence Sergeant Pratt sought to adduce was scarcely on all fours with the evidence objected to by the Court.

Sergeant Pratt said he would show that the prisoner's conduct, which had culmin ated in the act of which he was now charged, was continuous.

Cross-examined by' Mr Napier: The prisoner was a lodger in my house. He had occupied the place of husband to her. She had never called him her husband. She had written to him as " My loving hus band." She had asked him to come back. Witness here, in reply to questions by Mr Napier, gave evidence to the effect that a very close relationship with the accused existed while her husband was living in the same house.

Cross - examination continued : I have written the prisoner several letters, and had my photograph' taken \vith him. Mr Napier read a number of letters sent by witness to prisoner. They were of a most affectionate character, calling prisoner her " loving husband," and signing her self. " Bella Patterson." Her reason for so signing it, she said, was because the pri soner could not write, and needed to have his letters read to him. One of the letters expressed the hope that her husband would1 soon leave her, and expressed great concern regarding the state of the prisoner's injured knee.

Cross - examination continued : Witness admitted the authorship of these .letters. She had not been in company with prisoner the Saturday prior to the vitriol throwing. Prisoner had bought her dresses and might have given her money. Twelve months ago he paid a portion of the cost of a cloak, but did not express. a wish that she should always weal- that particular cloak. "Her Husband did not give her money while the prisoner was living with them. She had money at the bank which she had got from the sale of a farm up country. She did not have a row. with the prisoner over a man who kept a fancy good's shop in Karahga hape Road. Prisoner did not find her in a shop in Karangahape Road, and compel her to go.home. She had not spoken to the prisoner for five or six weeks and had kept company with him through fear. He had threatened if she would not meet his advances that he would kill her and then commit suicide, i He told her that he was not afraid of her prosecuting | him, as he held these letters in terror over her. She was not now being main tained by two men ; she lived on her own, or rather her husband's j money. The farm was at Whatawhata and- was sold two years ago, and , she had lived partly on the proceeds of the sale, and partly from her work. She had no quarrel with the prisoner about wearing the cloak which had been destroyed. Prisoner did not object to her wearing it beteiuse she had bought it with the money got from a man in Newton. Prisoner was a temperate man. By Sergeant Pratt: The overcoat (pro duced) belonged to the prisoner. There were marks on it of the same corrosive liquid, [Left Sitting.] U
