Cypriano Florres, whose evidence was somewhat similar to that of the previous witness, said he saw Mr. Ogden give complainant three or four blows with the cane, and also saw Mrs. Ogden take him by the breast and hold herhand against his face, but did not see if she struck him. Wit- ness did not see complainant offer any resistance and was too far away to see if he had a stone in his hands, but heard the words “put down" used.. Mr. Joseph Arnold, who described himself ́as assistant Stage Manager, cuployed by Mr. Band. man, stated that on Tuesday evening last, he heard an altercation about some flowers, between Mrs. Ogden and Mr. Donaldson. Mrs. Ogden asked Denakison for some flowers, to which Donaldson replied "1 have'nt any, they were not in the property Est." Mrs. Ogden then said, I told you about them myself this morning. Donaldson replying, if you did tell me I did not hear you, adding, if you have any complaints to make, you can make them to Mr. Bandmann. Donaldson then asked witness if he had written the flowers in the property list; witness replied in the negative, and told Mrs. Ogden that it was his fault about the flowers as he had forgotten them. Mrs. Ogden said she was satisfied, as she had told Mr. Donaldson herself to get them. Wimess did not hear Donaldson call Mrs, Ogden a liar, and considered, under the existing excitement, that Donaldson spoke civilly enough to Mrs. Ogden though he spoke hurriedly. Witness cross ex- aminest by Mr. Ogden, said he was prompter, and also that Mr. Donaldson had frequently been neglectful of the properties even when down on the list, and had often been insolent to witness about it. He had often heard complainant sworn at by Mr. Blandmans for negligence, and had about Donaldson's being checky and imp dent. Witness, in reply to complainant, said Mr. Ogden had not the sweetest of tempers and threatened to strike him, witness, once, but he had never actually seen Mr. Ogden strike any one. Witness admitted that when he was threatened by Mr. Ogden, it was because he, witness, had un- necessarily delayed a rehearsal by needless con- versation. Mr. Ogden, in his defence, stated that on Tuesday evening last he was in his dressing room which is close to, and immediately over the stage; he heard an altercation guing on in which Mrs. Ogden's voice was concerned. He stepped on to the landing and heard Mr. Donaldson say several tiines in a loud voice, "its a lie." When Mrs. Ogden came upstairs, he asked her what

Yes, what for, to which Mr. possessed. The body was sent to the Civil Hos. Ogden answered, I want you to apologise to pital, where an inquest is to be held this after my wife for calling her a liar last evening. Witness replied that he had not called Mrs. Ogden a liar, and a discussion on that point took place. Witness refused to apologise as he saw no cause for doing so, and again being asked by Mr. Ogden to apologise, again refused most decidedly. Witness said Mr. Ogden knocked him on the back of the head with his hand, knocking him down on his hands and knees. Witness ran out of the lobby and picked up a stone from the road, being allowed out by Mr. Ogden with a cane in his hand, which he had the whole of the time, with which he heat witness on the back and arms and asked him to put the stone down. Witness dropped the stone and was then hit over the legs with the up and took hold of witness by the cheek

Mr. going, Mr. Ogden said witness was a nasty sneaking snail carried tales about the men- bers of the company to Mr. Bandmann for the sake of a cent, and added that he would serve his master Mr. Bandmann, the same as he bad served him. Witness then came up and applied for a summons. In reply to his Worship, complainant said he had never called Mrs. Ogden a liar, or used insulting language towards her, and also that he had a mark on his neck, and a bruise on his arm from the cane. His Worship took a very close survey of the bared brawny right arm of the youthful tragedian, but hardly seemed satisfied that any definite mark was visible. Witness, in reply to His Worship, said he took up the stone for the purpose of defending himself and had his arm balanced to throw the stone, adding, that he did not think he would have thrown it; he offered no resistance to Mr. Ogden, not having a chance of doing so, and that he used no bad language or insulting expressions towards Mr. and Mrs. Ogden, also that he was quite civil in his refusal to apologise, Mr. Ogden, as stage manager, was supposed to have authority over complainant, or at least complainant said he thought so, and that he had to obey Mr. Ogden's orders. Witness had no recollection whatever about being told to get the flowers, Witness stated that he has always been on good terms with defendants since he joined the com- pany on April 7th, and has always been treated well by the defentants until now, never having been struck before, although having frequently heard Mr. Ogden threaten several of the other actors at various times. Witness stated that Mr. Russell, who lesupposes is an actor, another mem- ber of the company, saw what took place outside the City Hall; the compradore of the Hall saw the assault in the Hall. Complainant said he was not badly hurt. Complainant, cross examined by Mr. Ogden, was asked if he had said "I know you wanted the flowers," which he denied and said that he did not say in the Hall that Mr. Band- mann would bark him in all he did, nor did he hear Mr. Ogden say that he Mr. B. would back me (witness) in my actions against defendant; in all I did you would serve him the same as you had served me.

IN the Common Pleas on May 13, before Mr. Baron Huddleston and a common jury, the case of Dods & Wollett was heard. It was an action to recover damages for a breach of promise to marty. Mr. Grantham, Q.C., and Mr. Witt were for the plaintiff; and thie defendant was not re presented by counsel. Mr. Witt, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff was Miss Alice Dods, and the defendant Wm. Charles Woollett. The plaintiff, 'in her pleadings, alleged that the de- fendant in 3877-78 promised to marry her; and the defendant pleaded that he was an infant in 1877, that he was discharged from his promise and sa com, but within the last few days these defences had been withdrawn, and an order had been made by consent at Chambers, so that now the only question was the amount of damages to be awarded at Briston; she had lost her mother, and her father was an inmale of a lunatic asylum. In 1876 she met the defendant, who then lived with his parents at Brixton, and was at that time an officer in the Militia, and was looking forward to obtaining a commission in the regular army. After the acquaintance had continued for about a twelvemonth, the defendant proposed to marry the plaintiff and his proposal was accepted. The intimacy continued through 1878-79, and in 1878 the defendant was fortunate enough to obtain a commission in the 27th Regiment of Foot. He, however, was much troubled by finding that this regiment was at Hongkong, and by receiving enders to join & there. The vessel was to sail in August, and the defendant tried to marry the plaintiff, so that he might take Ber with bim. He went 10 St. Saviour's Church," Brixton, but found that they could not be married there because neither of them resided in the dis trict. He then tried to get married at Lewisham, but the vessel was to sail before the marriage could be celebrated, and the defendant had to depart for Hongkong; but from that place he wrote to the plaintiff in terms of the most ardent affection, and said that if he could not get an exchange he should resign his commission and come home and marry the plaintiff. This cor- respondence from Ilongkong, having gone on for about a twelve-month, suddenly stopped, and at length the plaintiff heard that the defendant had married another lady. The defendant was now. a lieutenant in the 108th Regiment of Foot, la cated at Inniskillen, in Ireland, and was, therefore, in a good social position. The learned counsel said that he asked not for extravagant, but for substantial damages. Miss Dods, the plaintiff, was called, and stated that she was twenty-four years of age, and the defendant was twenty-five | His father was a surveyor at Brixton, and her father had been a clerk in the Customs, and now had an allowance of 2007 a year. The witness spoke to a number of letters which she had received from the defendant, in which he generally addressed her as "My own darling old Alice," and concluded. in equally affectionate terins, the phrase in one being. Believe me to remain to the death your most loving and affectionate Charley. The writer was profuse in the use of the words " darling."" love," and so forth. Mr. would think that the letters contained more affec Baron Haidleston said that probably the jury

Tika Ram, the Gun Lascar who murdered the girl Lachance at the rear of McGregor's Barracks on the afternoon of Saturday the 20th May, full particulars of which we published in our issue of the 22nd of the same month, was put upon his trial at the Supreme Court to-day before the Hou, G, Phillippo, Chief Justice, on the charge of wilful murder. Mr. MacKenn, who was in structed by Messrs. Stephen and Holmes, was assigned by the Court to defend the prisoner, who first pleaded "Guilty," but on a representation by his Counsel, afterwards pleaded "Not guilty." The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. MacKean, after-examining one witness for the defence, whose evidence was not very mate rial, said, addressing the jury, that the case had now arrived at nearly its last stage, and it would be for them, after the summing P, to take the view of the case which it presented. They were to bear in mind that there was some little difficulty in trying a man of the prisoner's description. His demeanour in the box, owing to his not understanding the major part of the proceedings, very often made things go against him to a great extent. Unlike trying a European, people were not able to interest them- selves as if a European were out trial, a man who would manifest a more lively interest in the proceedings. He would ask them to consider it as if one of their own countrymen were before then.

He saw the girl passing, from the cook house, and in a wild fit of frenzy, dashed forward, struck her on the head, and killed her. He made no attempt at concealment. There were crowds of people around. He gave himself up in the guard-room. The act was that of a madman carried away by sudden frenzy.
