INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.

Of the many; attractive exhibits at the-In dustrial Exhibition there is none more worthy 'of inspection than the splendid case ?bf looaily manufactured perfumery ex hibited by Messrs J. and T. Mason. This case, we may remark, was recently ex hibited at the Indian and Colonial Exhibi tion, land the goods displayed therein were favourably commented on'by experts. The case contains several hundred samples of the firm's manufactures, which are labelled and bottled in a most taking styled We' are glad to notice that the firm have in affixing their own labels to their own goods boldly taken the bull by the horns, and are endeavouring to establish this industry on its own merits. There is, unfortunately, a foolish prejudice in the colony against many articles of local and this has driven many manufac turers to adopt the not very commendable practice of passing off their goods as of foreign manufacture. Messrs J. and T. Mason, in selling an excellent article of their own make as their own, are doing the State and commercial' morality a service, and are deserving of the highest praise. ;

SUPREME COURT.

.:—__*_ ,%, CRIMINAL SESSIONS. " Yesterday (Concluded). * (Before His Honor Mr Justice Ward). Charge ov Arson Against Mrs McPhee. —After our issue of yesterday went to press the following ovidenco was led : —Annie Woolner, who was in the house at the time of the tiro, deposed, to going with the prisoner to the house at ten o'clock on the night of the fife, Went to bed in the front room upstairs, with Mrs Mol J eee and her littlo girl. Passed through tho front room coming into tho house. Hid not remombcr Mrs McPhee joining her in bod. Witness was awakened by smoke; 6ho then saw Mrs McPhee, come into tho room. Asked her whore the smoke was coming from, when she replied that she thought it was coming in at the window. Tho candle was still burning on thedressing-tab.e. Acandlo wa3 generally kept burning all tho night. Witness then went as far as the stairs, and Mrs McPhee went down below with her. They neither of them took a light with them. There was a firo burning in the front room. At witnoss's request Mrs Mc- Phee then put out tho firo with a rag doll (produced), and then threw somo water on the place, saying sho would not have had tha. happen for a fortune. Sho also said, " It must havo been a match I throw dqwn when I came in." Mrs MePhoo wont down again afterwards and said, " Tho fire's all out." Witness then went to bed again. The prisoner did not say she would wait up and see that everything went on right. Heard her go into the front room, and soon after sho heard the noise of Hames. Witness then dressed and went out of the back window. The prisoner joined her with two little bags. Thero wa_ no fire in tho bedroom when sho left. Mrs McPhee told witness not to say anything aboub it. This was tho case for the jury, and counsel then addressed them at length.— His Honor, in summing up, said if circum stantial evidence was not allowed in arson cases it would be impossible to convict in almost any case. In the whole of his ex perience he had nover known a case of com mittal given upon other than circum stantial evidence. The evidence was then ourefully run over, His Honer pointing out that had the fire beon started in tho back room, as tho learned counsel for the prisoner had suggested, those in tho house would havo beon burnt alivo. Tho evidence of Miss Woolner and that of Hetective Walker was particularly dealt with. All through His Honor was strongly against the prisoner, and wound up with an impres sive appeal to the jury to find a verdict ac cording to their convictions, without fear or favour, as they would hereafter hope to bo judged. - The jury after an hour and a half's withdrawal returned to Court with a verdict of " Guilty " upon tho third count, namely, of setting fire to tho furniture. — His Honor expressed his concurrence with the view the jury had taken of tho matter, and reserved sontonce until 2 o'clock to day, when prisonor was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

This Day.

Perjury.—Alfred Campbell was indicted upon the charge of committing perjury in the late celebrated " Lake House case." The Crown Prosecutor and Mr Cover ap peared for tho Crown, and Mr Earl for the defence. - In opening the case the Crown Prosecutor said the prisoner was one of those who assisted in ejecting Mrs Robert son from her house. An action was brought against Robert Graham for unlaw fully turning her out. In this case tho prisoner had to be proved to have received money from the lato Mr Graham for his service*. Mrs Scott would prove that ho was so employed. Although the ejection took,place in 1880, the action did not come off till 1886.—Henry Clayton Brewer, Registrar of the Supremo Court, produced writ, statement of claim, etc., of the action Ann "Robertson v. Home and another. Was present at the case in question; the prisoner gave evidence in this case on oath.; By Mr; Earl: The de fendants in the action were described as executors in the papers connected therewith. —Mr Earl here asked the witness if the prisoner was sworn in this action upon the Jewish Bible.—Witness: "Yes. "-The prisoner's counsel then submitted that in the indictment the prisoner was charged with perjury after having been "duly sworn and "having taken the oath upon the Gospel of God," whereas, it was prov able that he was sworn ujkjii the Penta teuch or Jewish Bible.—His Honor ad journed the Court for twenty minutes, in order to allow counsel to look up the authorities upon the subject, expressing it as his opinion that under the circum stances the charge must be quashed. After the adjournment, Mr Earl showed by various authorities that the prisoner, if he had been indicted with perjury after being sworn, as by law directed, would have had to have stood his trial, but not as he now stood charged. (Mr Earl quoted from Russoll cm Crimes and the cases Regina v. McArthur, Peake's Reports, page 155, and Rex v. Rowley, Campbell's Reports, in favour of his contention.)-Mr Williamson (Crown Prosecutor) submitted that he was sworn upon the Holy Gospel of God ; gospel meant good tidings. The Old Testament was a gospel from God.—His Honor said it was hot generally considered that the fospels. belonged to the Old Testament, here was no Gospel of Isaiah.— Mr Williamson considered that it was not necessary for a witness to be sworn upon the New Testament; the Old would do.— His Honor ruled that if. a Jew* took the Christian oath without objection he could bo held bound by it, but under the circum stances this • did not stand.—Starkey's evidence was then quoted by Mr William son, to the effect that ib* was - sufficient to prove that the prisoner did not object to the form of oath taken, to render him bound thereby.—His Honor finally gave it as his decision that tho in dictment must bo quashed if the Crown could not show him -some authority for altering the same.—The Crown Prosecutor then quoted an Act of 14 and 15 Victoria, chap. 100 (1851), to show that the Court could alter the indictment.—lt was a ques tion, His Honor considered, if the Act was in force. The Act was passed after 1840, and he would, for argu ments sake, consider it was in force. In the case Rex v. McArthur, which Mr Earl quoted, a member of the Kirk of Scotland was sworn in the ordinary manner and then by holding up his hand. Being afterwards charged with perjury, the in dictment stating that he had been sworn "in the usual manner " was quashed. Hi- Honor, in conclusion, • could nob see his authority for amending the indictment. His Honor said he would direct the jury to acquit, unless the Crown wished to enter a nolle prosequi. The Crown Prosecutor said ho had some doubt as to tho power to do this under the circumstances, and Mr Earl argued that, the Crown had no power, but His Honor said he was clear it could be done, and the Crown entered the nolle prosequi accordingly, when prisoner was discharged. Assault.—Charles Patterson, who was found not guilty in the late vitriol throwing case, was charged with assault ing Isabella Cowderoy.—-Mr O'Meagher appeared for the prisoner and challenged aboub a dozen of ' proposed jurors. Left sitting.

Uobson, restaurant keeper, all of whom had known the prisoner, when Mrs Wardell, for many years, spoke highly of her character. Mr Brassey then made a forcible appeal to the Court on behalf of the prisoner, taking into consideration her present state. His Honor, in sentencing the prisoner to three years' penal servitude, said lib took into considera tion her state and former good character. The full sentence of the law was 14 years.

Newmarket, June 10th, 1887. . mO THE ELECTORS OF CITY WEST. Gentlemen",—At the request of a large num ber of Electors, it is my intention to solicit your Suffrages at the ensuing General Contest. ;> As regards my political opihions, they are such as are held by advanced Liberals. It is abundantly manifest that a sweeping re duction must be made in the cost of Govern. ment. The Property Ta-j> which has proved so deterrent to the progress and settlement of the ; Colony, should be iibolished, and in its place j Land and Income Taxes imposed. All encouragement should be afforded to people to settle upon the land. Plural Voting should be abolished. : The aggregate sum collected through the Customs should be largely reduced, and the duties levied be mainly on articles of luxury and those which can he produced in the colony. The Upper House should be abolished, but if allowed to continue, its members should attend at their own expense. The above are some of the importantquestions •with-which the coming Parliament will have to deal. , . ' " *; . ,-i I shall take an early opportunity to invite you \ to meet me, in order to enter into details on the questions I have mentioned, and explain my \ views on other matters which should have the careful consideration Of electors. In the event of your doing me the honour of returning me, you may rely upon it that my energies, ahd thirty years' colonial experience, will be deviated ib the advancement of N.-w Zealand, and to watching over the interests of the electors of City West.;" 'X T' I am, Gentlemen, - Your most Obedient Servant,. * ,X W.
