Elmsley.— Claim, £9.— Mr Calder appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant.—After hearing the evidence for the plaintiff Mr Cooper moved for a non suit on various grounds, which was overruled by His Woship. Mr Cooper then applied for an adjournment'in order to get the defendant in attendance.—The case was accordingly adjourned until to-morrow morning, to allow Mr Cooper to produce authorities to show that in the present case the Court had no jurisdiction. G. B. Jackson v. James Green-hough.— Claim, £4, for rent. Costs £1 ls.6d. ~ INTERPLEADER CASE. Dk Laishley v. L. Moses.— Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Rigby, instructed by Mr Baume, for the claimant, Mr Moses.—This case was heard atapreviousCourt. Theshortfacts were that DrLaishlcyputinan execution to some dairy man named Evans.. Mr Lewis Moses holding a bill-of-sale over the property distrained lor £75.—Mr Cooper then raised an objec tion, on the ground that the bill-of-sale was not an exact copy of the one filed, and that the considerations were not stated in the bill-of-sale.—His Worship gave judgment this morning upon the interpleader. He said that he must overrule Mr Cooper on all the points raised on the ground that the consideration was not stated in-the bill of-sale, was purely a question of fact, and not of law. It was plain that £75 was actually paid over, and afterwards £2 10s was paid over by one of the grantors to the solicitor for the claimant. As there was no prior arrangement to do so the action must be considered as purely voluntary. There was no legal application to pay the £2 10s. He considered that the objection that the bill-of-sale was not duly riled was not a good point, because the initials were not added until after the copy was filed. The initials addedno value to the bill-of-sale, as the presumption was that all such-alterations must be made prior to the copy being tiled. The next point was one upon which lie had some hesitation. The words "in the day of each week "had in the copy been altered to "ona day in each week." but he had failed to find any authority to show that the bill was thereby rendered invalid, because the difference was immaterial. Therefore he would rule that the-bill was a true copy. He would therefore overrule all the objections. Costs were allowed to the claimanbi

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.

MAKY O'CONNOR BEFORE THE

COURT.'

When the Court resumed yesterday after noon at 3.30 p.m., Dr. Honey man's cvi. dence was read over.

Frederick Deeson, 11 years of age, de posed that he found the body of a child wrapped up in a frock (produced) when searching for bones and bottles. He could nob see it from Darby-street. By Mr Napier: I could have seen it if I had looked when passing in Darby-street. The CouVt then adjourned until 10.30 a.m. to-day.

Mr. Lindsay's Evidence.

On the Court resuming this morning, Alexander Lindsay, Resident Surgeon at the Auckland Hospital, gave evidence. On the 27bh Soptember last the prisoner was brought to the Hospital by Detectives Doolan and Herbert, and was subse quently admitted at the Refuge. Wit ness, assisted by Dr. Cobbett, put prisoner under chloroform and performed an opera tion, which ho described. It was pro bably the third day after confinement. Witness asked prisoner when the child was born, and she replied, " Saturday night." On the morning after the opera tion he asked her if she was alone when the child was born, and she said " Yes." Dr. Lindsay was cross-examined at considerable length as to the evidences of death in cases of newly-born infants, evidently with the object of showing that whatever neglect had been in the case under notice it had been accidental. Many children died fiom natural causes at or after birth. In the case of a sudden birth, the woman being unattended, there) might be sufficient acci dental violence to cause death. The pre sence of air in the stomach or air passages is a proof that the child has breathed. The floating of the lungs in water is the best proof we have that a child has breathed. A child may live and breathe before birth. By Sergeant Pratt: If the umbilical cord had been ruptured I could not tell how long it would take to cause death.

By Mr Napier : Deatli might ensue from a rupture of the umbilical cord caused by a sudden birth, but probably not.

_*r_ Coylc's Evidence

Mary Coyle, wife of Mr Patrick Coyle, of the Thistle Hotel, deposed that prisoner was employed by her as a general servant. She came into >her service on the 2nd September. Prisoner slept in the lower wing of the house upstairs. There was a window overlooking a spare allotment and Elliott-street, in the room occupied by her. When prisoner came into her service wit ness asked if she was married. Prisoner replied, " No." She seemed in good health, and made no complaints of illness until Saturday morning, the 24th of September. Sheeomplainedofpainsinherheadand back. She made tho remark that she had not been well for some time, but that it did not in tcrfere with her work, and that she had taken medicine from time to time. After dinner prisoner went to her room to Ho down, and lator on witness sent to sec if the accused could get tea ready. Prisoner did not come, and one of the girls took her a cup of tea. Witness went to prisoner's room, and found her in bed. She said that she had been very ill, and that she thought she had a bilious attack. Witness observed some unusual circumstances in tho room. Thero was a Miss Shea, a friend of tho prisoner, in the room. Witness next saw the prisoner on tlie following (Sunday) morning, when she brought her a cup of tea. Prisoner then said she was very much better, and that she was going to church. Witness observed a change in the girl's ap pearance. She went through her usual work on that day. On tho following Tues day Detective Doolan came into tho hotel. Ho saw prisoner in her bedroom. Mr Doolan stated to her that there wasanowly born infant found, and that there was a rumour that she was suspected. Theaccuscd replied that she knew nothing about it. Detective Doolan said, "If you tell me you had it that will end all." [Witness manifested some uncertainty on this point, and eventually said she qpuld not be posi tive as to what the detective said.] Detec tive Doolan said, "If you do not acknow ledge I will have to bring a doctor." Dutec tivo Herbert then entered the room with a skirt. He asked the accused if the skirt (produced) was hers.

An Objection

Mr Napier objected to any other state ments made in this interview being taken as evidence. Strange to say, the very statement made by Detective Doolan, that "If you tell me you had it that will end all," was almost identical with a statement made by a detective in England, and in which the admissions mado by the accused were afterwards ruled admissible. He objected to statements which had not been made freely and voluntarily. Mr Napier quoted authorities in support of his con tention. He held that any alleged ad missions made by the defendant in conver sation with Detective Doolan could not be given in evidence by Mrs Goyle. Sergeant Pratt urged that the evidence was admissible, and quoted instances in which similar evidence had been accepted. His Worship said that if what witness said was true as to what Detective Doolan had said, there certainly had been "induce ment) " given to the witness to confess, but the witness was not very sure about what was said. [The prisoner was taken ill at this stage, and was allowed to retire.] The point was further argued at considerable length. His Worship said that it was im portant to consider in consulting author ities whether or not the accused had been apprehended. -.' " ■ Mr Napier submitted that the apprchen siop was immaterial., ... His Worship was not satisfied on this point, and said it was now for Mr Napier to submit a case in which the accused had not been apprehended. Mr Napier objected to tlie evidence being taken, and said he would have the authori ties before His Worship at 2 o'clock. The Court then adjourned until 2 p.m. After the adjournment, several cases in point were quoted, and His Worship said it was quite clear to his mind that the evi dence objected to was inadvisable now. Mrs Coyle proceeded : She was not cer tain of the words Detective Doolan had used. The doctor On arrival examined the girl, and ordered her removal to the Hos pital. By Mr Napier: The girl was well con ducted when in my employ. She brought no reference, but said she had lived with her friends at the Eagle Hotel.

It is with regret that we have to re- Cord the death of Mr Ashton Bruce, who passed away somewhat suddenly at 6 o'clock this morning. The deceased was for some time organist at All Saints' Anglican Church, Ponsonby, His ability as a musician was ac knowledged by all. His early demise is the more deeply to be regretted as he was only married about a month ago to the eldest daughter of the Rev. Dr. Kidd. Since tho marriage the young couple have resided at , Mount Roskill. Last Monday Mr Bruee was taken ill and,has since then been attended by Dr. Murrey Moore. Early this morning he became rapidly worse, and Dr. Mac kellar — being the nearest medical man —was called in. He, however, was unable to prolong life, as Mr Bruce had ruptured a lung and was dying from suffoca tion consequent upon the' rupture. Great sympathy is felt for the young wife •in her untimely bereavement.
