                                                  April 11.
I TAKE  the opportunity  of transmitting by  steamer  ,
Southern Cross, some items of information which aro likely 
to be read with interest by your subscribers. On the 5th
instant, at the Supreme Court criminal sittings, Himiona 
Te Rua  was indicted for murder. The offender was repre- 
seated by a Solicitor, and pleaded not guilty. The  par-
ticulars of the case will be gathered from the following 
evidence:—                                              
  A Maori named Te Ranapia, deposed he lived at Ranga- 
taira. He  remembered   the shooting of Te Marae.  He
was  working  at the the time with three other Maoris on a
 cultivation. All were working  in different parts of the
 ground.  While there, saw Himiona walking past, going
 towards Tukino Te Marae.  Himiona  was not living in
 the same settlement. He had in his hand what appeared
 to be a gun. Witness could not see Te Marae at the time
 as there was a bush between. Called out to Tukino. and
 on calling a third time the gun was discharged. Did not
 see Himiona fire it. Could see him at the time, or at least
 what he believed to be him. After the gun  was fired
 Himiona went back the same  way  he came.  When
 Himiona had  passed, witness went to the place where Te
 Marae was. Found  him wounded, but not dead. It was a I
 gunshot wound  in the left groin, caused by a bullet. The !
 ballet came out at the back of the right hip. Went for i
 the other men, and took Te Marae into a canoe. Did not 
 bear any words  spoken between  prisoner and deceased, i
 Could have heard them if any had been uttered. Took Te
 Marae to Pupuhinau.   He  lived some days afterwards.
 Himiona lived at Ahikeri at the time, and not at Waitapu, I
 where deceased lived. There is some  distance between
 the two settlements. Te Uru  was working as near to Te
 Marae  as witness.  Te  Uru  was in front.  Called out
 several times to Tukino to warn him because a letter had
 been received from  one Pairau, did  not call to warn Te
 Urn, but when witness  called to Tukino, Te Uru hoard.
 and also called to Tukino, called out specially to Tukino,.
 because he thought he, and not Te Uru, was in danger,
 consider Tukino in danger of being killed, on account of
 what had  been stated in the letter. The  letter was not i
 from Himiona.  The Ietter had been written on account
 of some persons having died through the witchcraft of Te
 Arae.  Considered Te Arae  an  adept in sorcery. The
 Maoris were very  strong in saying he was  so.  The
 persons who  had  been killed before he  died were  ten
 chiefs.  Witness belonged to the hapu  Hikukino.   Te
 Marae belonged to the Ngatihauas, and so did Himiona.
 Prisoner did not belong to the Uriwera, but did live there.
 When  the feast was made  a woman  took him into the
 Uriwera country.  Until the conclusion of the war with
 the Europeans the Uriwera kept themselves aloof from
 Other Maoris. When   witness went there it was during
 the war.
    Counsel for the Crown objected to this line of examina-
  tion.
    Prisoner's Solicitor said his object was to show that in
  that part of the country, the Maoris having kept them-
  selves separate, were less civilised and unaware of Euro-
  pean  customs, and that therefore, prisoner was guided  by
    Maori ideas of a barbarous kind, and could hardly be re-
  sponsible for infringing European laws.
    Re-examined : This was about two years after Te Teko
  wa» taken, ia 1865.
    To His Honor:  Was  about the distance of the length
  of the Court room when Te Marae was  shot. Could not
  We how far Himiona was from Te Marae by reason of the
  tutu bush,
    After the address for the defence,
    His  Honor  shortly summed  up, pointing out that the
  evidence was very clear, and that the jury need have no
  difficulty in arriving at a verdict.
    The jury retired, and after a few minutes returned into
 Court  with  a verdict  of " Guilty," accompanied   by a
 recommendation   to mercy.
   His Honor  formally passed  sentence of death, with, an
 entematum, that he would communicate the recommenda-
 tion of the Jury to the proper quarter for favorable con-
 sideration.  The  Government,   it is expected, will deal
 leniently with the prisoner, taking into consideration the
 circumstances attendant upon the commission of the crime.
    Whilst, alluding to the trial itself, it may be as wel! to
 mention  an occurrence which  followed a similar murder
 some  time back.  The information  comes from a reliable
 source, and in my opinion deserves as wide a publication
  as possible.
    A Native, residing near Waiapu, believing that several
  of his nearest relations had died from Makutu,determined
  upon slaying the perpetrator, and for this purpose loaded
  a rifle, supplied by our paternal Government, mounted
  his horse, and rode straight to the hapu of  the witch.
  Without any  intimation he shot him : death immediately
  followed, and he rode quietly home, feeling perfectly sat-
  isfied he did a lawful and just act. A meeting of the
  chiefs afterwards took place, and it was unanimously
 agreed to. that in their opinion the act was justified, but
  that the actor had no right whatever to use a Government
  gun for the purpose, and as a  punishment, was ordered
 to pay the cost of the weapon, and at the same time, di
ricting that the rifle should ho destroyed, or broken. The
 rifle was destroyed, and shortly after, an Inspector under
| the Arms  Act paid a visit to the district, and was informed
I of the circumstance,
