he found to bo between Gibbons's mill and Burnett's shed. Some.time aftor the firo began ho saw Mr Gibbons thero. Ho Was assisting to put out the firo. Mr Bibbons was dressed with two ehiits when he camo to witness's houso for a cup of tea after the fire. Tho outside one was like a night-Bliirt. Tho second shirt was a Crimean one. His neck wob open. He should havo his doubts about bolieving Kerebs on his oath if it was for his own bandit. Ho had frequently hoard Korebs use tho expression "So help mo Cod." Had not heard Mr Gibbons uso such ex pressions.

Augustus W. Burnett, carrier, deposed that on the morning of tho tiro ho noticed that tho wall near tho forgo and tho end wall.of bi3 stables woro in llames.

Matthew Homy 800, timbor merchant, deposed that Kerebs had been in hia employ for some timo. Personally ho knew nothing against him, but ho had a roputation for not spouking the truth. If anything strange was told it was ofton referred to as ono of

•" Koroba'a craiii_oor_". but nothing vicious".

Hugh Clark waa called, but waa not in attendance.

i John Nioll doposcd that ho know Krnortt Kerebs. His reputation was that ho talked stuff and lies. Ho would not bolievo Korobs upon his oath if it was anything to boiiofit him. Kerebs would say " So help mo God " if he wanted pooplo to beliove anything. Jninos Mclntyro, boing recalled, deposed that of the machinery valued by him ..3GI 7s 2i was solely useful for making staves. Tho plant would have been a good bargain nt £020 to any person wishing to start in tho business, but not otherwise. Ernest Kerebs, being recalled, doposed that ho had a key of the mill, which had been given him by Mr Gibbona beforo tho lire for tho purpose.of taking tho oars and rowlocks for the boat. Ho had the key yet. John O'Brien deposed that on the evening cf the fire he was talking to Kerebs in ChuchstrcGt. Witness said that Mr Gibbons would bo a heavy loser by the firo. Korobs replied, " I would givo £50 to know tho b 's thought!-'," Witness asked what good tbat would do him, and said, " \*ou bet ho has hia own trouble?," mean ing Mr Gibbons. Korobs said "If 1 thought ho had sot firo to it I would mako him gorge me up hull of the insurance." Ho further said that it was not tho first timo ho had mado £;0 that way. Korebs had the reputation of being.tho big gest' liar about Onehunga, but witness know very littlo about Kerebs personal! y Ho knew nothing wrong about Mrs Korobs,. Jno. Boland deposed that abottta fortnight after tho tiro ho had a conversation with Krnest Kerebs, who told him one timo ho was to got £50, and another timo £200, if Gibbons was convicted. Witness was in 'the mill two days before the firo. Ho know tha tools and plant. He valued the black smith's tools alone at £30. Ho estimated that thore were 10 or 12 loads of staves in tho drying shed. Josephine Gibbons, daughter of ths ac ccsed, deposed to her father going out with a lantern aftor toa on tho night beforo the firo. He returned about a quarter to 9 o'clock, and retired to rest. Sho went to bod about 11.30 o'clock ; betweon thoso hours sho know that hor father never loft tho house. She next saw him in the morning, beforo _ o'clock. Bearing somsbody moving down stairs, sho went "and called out, "Is that y-ju, pa ?" Sho saw hor father. Ho had on his night-shirt and trousers, and she be lieved from the sound that be had on his slippers. Sho talked to him a fow minutes, and then returned upstairs. Sho rai.'cd tho blind, and saw a glare in the sky. Sho at once told hor father, who went out on tho verandah. Afterwards ho camo upstairs, and went into her room and looked out at the lire to sco where it was. He then went downstairs, and witness followed in timo to see her mother handing him hi. boots. Hor father then went out. Sho next Eavv him at the fire. Her father had on his trousers, vest, coat, night-gown and boots. Her father never wore poper collars, and generally slept in a night-shirt and a dark grey under shirt, By Mr Williamson : Sho believed that it ■was the noise either of opening or shutting tho door that disturbed her at _ o'clock. Perhaps it was ber father going out. It was livo minutos afterwards when hor father came in that sho went to tho stair?. She did not get up when she heard the first noise. She was suro that sho did not go to sleep afterwards. She remembered one Saturday night after (ho mill stopped working and before the lire, Kerebs und her father camo in togothor and she got thorn the whisky b.ttlo. It was the only time she know Korebs to be in their house.

Georgo Lynda deposed that lie was blind. 11. remembered tho tire at Gibbons's mill. On tho previous evening ho mot Mr Gibbons, a3 near aa ho could judgo, about a quarter past seven o'clock. Witness had dropped some monoy in Church-stroet, and was groping for it whon Mr Gibbons camo along. He struck somo matches and looked for the money. As the wind blow the matches out Mr Gibbons marked the place. William Henry Learning depes-d that about 10 months ago Koroba waa talk ing to witness about fires, and remarked that ho. thought there was a good deal of incendiarism, and montioued that; ho onco got a reward from an insurance ollice for informing on tho man. Ebeuezor P. Gibbons, brother of tho ac cused, deposed that ho was last at tha mill about 7 o'clock on the ovoning beforo tho firo. Ho waa assisting his brotbor to make eomo white metal castings for a now spindle, at the Swanson Mill. Witness and tho ac cused left the mill together. Ho thought that a load of timber and a load cf staves wero removed srom the mill botween the Satur day and Monday previous to the fire. He had been a sawmill owner himself, but not a successful one, for the last twelve mouths. Witness had machinery in tho mill which ho valued at £200 It was loft with his brother as security for money received. It was not used as working gear in tho mill. By Mr Williamson : Ho had not reported that to tho Official Assignors, as it wa3 security for his brother. He sold the old mill to his brother, who had since expended about £150 upon the building. He thought hia brother would have taken £1,000 for tho mill. He did not boliove that mill property would bring moro than half its value at the prosent time. Albert AdolDh Fowler deposed tbat he waa fi.3t at the lire at Gibbona Mill. Tbo firo was near tha forge. Witness waa last in the mill on the Saturday boforo the fire. There wore threo stacks of staves in ono place, and two stacks near tho partition of the drying shed. Near tho engine thoro was also a largo stack about 14 feet long by about 7 feet 6 inohea hiph. At the Cburch-streot end of the shed there was another large stack, alao two moro stacks in the middlo of tho drying room, and another by the bevelling wheel. In .the loft of the drying shed wore three more stocks, containing, he should think, about 3.500, Down below thero must have beon about 15,000 staves.

By Mr Cotter: Witness was the ac cused's nephew. Several times ho had noticed a reflection on tho windows of the mill, that looked as if thero was a tire inside. He went to examine the mill and found that it was only a reflection. Mrs Margaret Davidson deposed that sho saw Mr Gibbons at Kerch's one Sunday evening, about 7 o'olock. It 'was two or three Sundays before the fire. She was in the houso, and Mr Gibbons came in and sat down on tho sofa. He asked Kerebe to go down aud shift the anchor of tho scow. The two of them then went out ou tbo verandah. She heard them talking about the harbour. Mr Gibbon, stayed about ton minutes. &ho and Mr Korebs wont out at tlio back-door and round to the gate. Gibbons aud Kerebs passed thorn at the gate and wont down the road. That was just after tea. Cross-oxar-inod by Mr Williamson : Wit ness deposed that .he was living in Mr Ebe.jc__r Gibbons's house. She cooked for him and kepi; his little girl, for which she got 10s por week. Mr Gibbons had supplied her houso with a round table and six chairs. Somotime. Mr Gibbons bad a cup of tea at hor house, but ho did not board there regularly. She re sided with her husband, who waa a carpc-nter, but not iv constant work. Sne did not hope lo get anything forgiving evidence in this case. She bod never told Mrs Chapman that she expected to get __-0 for giving evidence in this case.

Everyone will deeply sympathise with Professor F. D. Brown, Professor of Chcmi.tiy in tbe Auckland University . College, whose wife, we grieve to observe, expired yesterday at her house at Devonport. The deceased lady is from London, and had recently bean confined. It would appear Mra Brown was beginningto get about again when she caught a slight but dangerous cold, which rapidly developed into inflamation of the lungs. The funeral leaves for the Devonport Cemetery about 4 o'clock this nfternooD, when, as the deceased lady lias made numerous friends during her brief sojourn in New Zealand, a number .of persons may be expected to be present. Tho Hags of the Ferry steamboats were half-mast high, and the places of business rioted at Devonport to-day.

Wellington, this day. Work at Island Bay commonced shortly after four o'clock this morning, Tho first to commence proceedings wero Nelson and Malignor, who were sent a fast three quarter milo, tho former having tho best of it. Tit Bit was sent the Cup distance, and moved rather sorely at tho start, but as he warmed up to his work the stiffness wore, oil', and his stylo greatly pleased tho touts. Tit Bit is equal favourito with Waitiri and Silence for tlm Bold Cup. The two two year-olds —Cruchtield anil Lorraine—negotiatod a milo and a half in company, tho first half of tbo journey bein^ dono at ball pace, and tho remainder at top. Tho lattor appeared to havo tho beat of tho gallop. Soudan cantered for a couple of miles, but his roniing at onco dismissed him as a favour ito -.villi tho public, though ho moved freely enough. Master Agnos (with swoators on) covored two milos at three quarter pace, finishing strong and well. Tigrodia and Far dingale did serviceable gallops, tho former moving very freely. Charmer displayed temper, and in a four mile canter continually ondeavourod to unseat White, his jockoy, but without success. Silenco and I'asfia wero treated to three miios at an easy pace, both going well, especially tho doughty eon of Tho Mute. About twenty-five horses are working on the course.

Wanganui, this day.

Tho plan is absuid on tlio faco of it, and it is not worth whilo to go into any dotails to show its absurdity. No Parliament or Go vernment in tho world is at all likely to advance largo sums of money without a scrap of security or guarantee for its proper expsudituro.

THE LATE GAS EXPLOSION.

A Stak reporter called at the Provincia Hospital to-day with the idea of visiting tho Messrs Yon Sturrrer, who were so hurt the other day at the Bank of New South Wales when looking for a ga3 leak with n lighted candlo. Dr. Bond would on no account allow tho reporter a per sonal interview with the sufferers, and informed him tbat he does not expect anyone will bo allowed to see them for another week or ten days. Mr William Yon Stunner is getting on yery well, but his cousin, Mr Nome Yon Stunner, who waa much worse hurt, does not progress so rapidly. The damage dono IS priuciply to the gentlemen's hands, which wore much burnt. Their faces it is hoped will not bo disfigured, aud their eyes appear to be unhurt.

On Saturday afternoon, about 3.30, as tbe tram-car from Newmarket waa ascend ing tbo steepest part ef tbe Kyber Pass Koad, a two-wbeol trap belon^iug to Mr Fortune, of Pakurauga, came into violent contact with it. The result was tbat tbe trap turned completely over, the careless driver and hia two companions being nent off at a considerable tangent to their former time of progressing. Mr Campbell, of Newmarket, was the only damatied member of the party, having hi 3 collar bone broken. The other two occupants of the trap only complained of feeliDg considerably upset. Clouds of rolling smoke still tell of the continuation ot the fire which is denuding Rangitoto the Rugged of its beautifying clothing of soft green pohutukawha and ti tree.
