'INDIAN CONSTABLE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.

Yesterday, the Megistracy, Mr. Melbourne continued the hearing of the charge against William James Cooper, ship's mate, of being drunk and disorder-robbery has been reported to the police. ly at Taumati on 20th January.

Mr. Colüring, solicitor again appeared for the defendant.

It will be rolled that at the first hearing the complainant, Sergeant geant Tulloch, gave evidence to the effect that, on his attempting to arrest the defendant on a charge of disorderly conduct, the defendant resisted and used filthy and abusive language; that he had ultimately to be conveyed to the police station in a riasha; and that when there be continued to act in a disorderly

Sergeant Tulloch was closely cross examined, yesterday, by Mr. Goldring, but adhered to his evidence in every

detail.

Lung Chai, the ricahe coolie, wae examined na to what occurred in his pro sence and corroborated the complainant on the main points,

A NOVEL POINT

In connection with the evidence for the prosecution, Mr. Goldring objected to Bergeant Anlloch, as a Police officer, examining-in-chief any of the Crown witnesses. It was quite permissible for to question a witness after he bad him told his story to the Court, but even then any questions put must be put though the Const. That was the law as to procedure at Home, and he had raised the point, and his objection had been sustained, immediately he came out to the Colony

Mr. Melbourne-Can you cita we a case in which a Police officer, whose name appeurs on the summons sa complainant, was not allowed to examine witnesses in support of the complaint

golden

Mr. Goldring replied that he could not give the case off-hand, but he was quite satisfied that he could show his Worship a case in which the Police wore not allowed to examine in chief. He was not going to press the objection. He was sure that Inspectors were allowed to examine witnesses, but that was only through courtesy, Hu thought, in the

present enes, that the complainant's wit nesses should be allowed to tel; their -mtory in their own way before any ques tions were put to them by Sergeant Tulloch. As a matter of fact, all ques tions by the Police should ha pat through thy Court.

The evidence was then proceeded with on the lines suggested by Mr. Goldring.

Sergeant Grant and Sergeant Murphy deposed to the defendant behaving in a disorderly manner in the charge room od the police station at Yaumati The former said he was aroused from sleep by the noise defendant was making, and aw him attempting to get up to the deat where Sergeant Tulloch was writing Both witnesses concurred in stating that defendant was the worse for drink, Ser- geant Murphy Mating that defendant, when he saw him, was rolling up his sleeves to fight the Sergeant, and then tried to get at him over the desk.

A daring case of attempted armed

by a Chinese shopkeeper at Yanmati. -

The complaingat states that at about 10.15 on Wednesday night, he was seated in his shop after closing up for the night, when someone locked at the door. He called out to ask what was wanted, and a voice replied! Melon seeds," "The shopkeeper opened the door and it man entered. He was closely followed by four or five others, all of them being and with revolvers. One of the men pointed revolver at the shopkeeper's head and told him that if he made a noise or attempted to raise an alarm he would by shot. The shopkeeper, after feigning submission, seized the revolver, but was stabbed in the head with a knife by another of the men. He muanged, how

ever, to get hold of a police whistle, which he kept in the shop, and to blow it. This apparently frightened the would bo robbers, who ran out of the shop and west off along the Canton-road, The shopkeeper pursued them, but ultimaly gave up the chase and returned to his op, where he found that nothing had been removed.
