NEW ZEALAND.

AUCKLAND, ArRIL 20.—During the last week
what may be termed an emeute of the Maoris has
occurred here, which has startled this town, tranquil
and progressing during the last five years, from the
state of repose to which her inhabitants have latterly
been accustomed. It mayqnot be generally known in
England that a considerable portion of the police is
composed of aborigines; it is, however, necessary to
premise that such is the case.
On Monday night last, the 14th inst., a native of
the Ngatipoa tribe stole a shirt from a shop in the
town, and as the offender was being taken into cus-
tody a rush of his tribe took place. A fierce struggle
ensued between them and the police, several of
the inhabitants hastened to the assistance of the
latter, and in the contest a great chief, rendered
sacred for the time by the Tapu, was knocked
down by the baton of one of the Maori police
and hurried off to the lock-up, but afterwards
liberated. Instantly numbers of the people took
to their canoes, and left the town to arouse the
tribes. Tuesday and Wednesday, however, passed
quietly by; the thief Ngawki was summarily con-
victed, sentenced by Mr. Beckham, the resident ma-
gistrate, to three months' imprisonment with hard
labour, and the whole affair began to be forgotten.
Thursday, however, undeceived those who imagined
that Maori threat and Maori vengeance were merely
idle words. The sun had scarcely risen over the
spacious harbour ere crowds of native canoes began
to pour into Mechanics Bay (one of the many bays
on which the town of Auckland is situated), and
before noon a large body of men, completely armed,
and well furnished with ammunition, had assembled.
They danced their war dance on the beach, and
were evidently bent upon some resolute purpose,
whatever that might be. Fortunately for Auckland,
his Excellency Sir George Grey returned a few
days before this from the southern settlements, and
his measures to meet the emergency were taken with
the promptitude, energy, and decision which might be
expected from his character. Orders were issued to
the 58th Regiment, the artillery, the sappers and
miners, the pensioner force, and to Captain Oliver, of
her Majesty's ship Fly, to hold themselves in readi-
ness for immediate action. About noon Sir George
Grey, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Wynyard,
Lieutenant-Colonel Bolton, R.E., and the principal
military and civil officers of Government, proceeded
to Mechanics' Bay, where his Excellency, summon-
ing the tribes, demanded of them the reason of their
unlawful assembling under arms. They replied that
their quarrel was not with the Europeans, that they
had no wish to molest them, but that a native police-
man had greatly insulted a native chief, and that the
offender must be delivered to his particular tribe, to be
dealt with according to the laws of his nation. To this
demand of course only one reply could be made by his
Excellency. He peremptorily commanded them to
launch their canoes and leave the bay within two hours;
at the expiration of which time, if any remained, the ,

artillery and the guns of the Fly should open fire
upon them without further' delay. The Maoris
well knew the futility of resistance. The decorated
war canoes were dragged down the long, level
beach, for it was low water, and long before the al-
lotted two hours had expired the last lingering foot
amongst the savages had left the sands withi❑ Me-
chanics' Bay. Friday, however, saw a force of 100 men
threatening to unite with the former insurgents, and
to enter the town. They were prudently anticipated
at every point of attack. Strong military bands pa-
trolled the town. The Onehung division of the pen-
sioners, with Major Kenny at their head, were
marched into Auckland, and encamped there, while
the Howick, Panmure, and Otahuhu divisions re-
mained under arms at their respective stations. The
Maoris are a sharp-wilted race, and soon underatand
when they are out-manoeuvred. Although to-day
(Monday), there are hundreds of them gathered in
Rocky Bay, a place near to the town, but without its
limits, no further manifestation has been made, and I
think it may safely be said that the crisis of the affair
is over. The cause of the determined and vindic-
tive spirit they have evinced arises from the fact
of an individual of the lowest class among them—
in fact, a slave—having presumed to strike one of
their highest chiefs, and he too rendered sacred and
untouchable for the time by means of the mystical
Tapu. That they would seize and murder the police.
man were it not for fear of the Europeans, and be-
causo they really have no ,enmity against, but rather
a wish to conciliate them, there can be no doubt. As
for the poor fellow himself, he remains close in Mr.
Beck= s house, in daily fear of his death, which he
himself says is certain. What Sir George Grey will
do with him is not yet known—most likely send him
to Sydney or England; in New Zealand certainly
his life is in jeopardy. Altogether, in spite of such a
warlike demonstration, there has been little or no fear
for themselves felt by the Europeans, and
while it shows from what apparently trifling
causes wiil spring the deadly vengeance of the savage,
it offers no reasonable grounds to dissuade any in-
tending emigaants from availing themselves of the
open and fertile lands, the splendid climate, the in-
creasing wealth of New Zealand in general and of
Auckland in particular.
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22.
The Maoris have all quietly dispersed without any
further manifestation of disturbance.

ENCROACIIMEIVTS IN GREENWICET

PARK.

Various proceedings from time to time, in connec-
tion with the management of this royal park, have
produced considerable dissatisfaction among the inha-
bitants of Greenwich. During the rangership of the
Princess Sophia, it will be recollected that a
portion of the park next to the house oc-
cupied by her Royal Highness on Black-
heath, was taken in as additional ground,
with the understanding, however, that it was to be
held for the lifetime of the Princess only, and to be
restored on her decease. On the occurrence of that
event no step was taken to reinstate the public in
possession of this ground, which still remains fenced
off from the rest of the park ; but, on the contrary,
not long since a further invasion was attempted by
marking out another portion of the park for building
ground. This produced a general commotion among
the population of Greenwich, and, owing to the
agitation it occasioned, the project was given up.
It served, however, to revive the old question of
the claim of the public to that 'portion formerly
granted for the use of the Princess Sophia.
To this claim no attention was vouchsafed by the
official authorities, and, as if to withdraw public
notice from the long-standing encroachment, the
building of a new lodge at the extremity of the park
—ostensibly fur the use of the park-keeper—was com-
menced under the direction of the ranger, preparatory,
as was understood, to taking down the lodge in the
centre of the park. The propriety of the latter step is
held to be extremely questionable by the good people
of Greenwich, who not only conceive the old lodge to
be ornamental to the park, but consider a lodge
in the centre to be absolutely needful, from the
great distance of the other lodges, as well as for
the preservation of order, and on account of the in-
quiries continually made by strangers, which could
only be answered satisfactorily by a park-keeper on
the spot. Among other innovations which have like-
wise tended to enhance the unpopularity of the park
authorities may be enumerated the taking away nearly
all the deer, so long justly deemed one of the principal
attractions of the park, and which from 200 to 300 are
now reduced to 30 or 40 only. Consequent, appa.
rently, on this step has been the recent introduction
of sheep-grazing in the park, at the rate, it is said,
of about a shilling per score per diem. Bills relating
to this sheep-grazing spEculatiou are even posted on
the walls in different parts of the town, but into whose
hands, or pockets, the proceeds derived from it ulti-
mately fall, does not seem to be very clearly ascer-
tained, one thing only being certain, that such a
thing was never before remembered in the records of
the park. Among other plans in contemplation is a
carriage drive round the park, a project which is likely
to meet with a strong opposition from the inhabitants
of Greenwich in general. A vestry is, we hear, about
to be held, at which these and other encroachments,
completed or meditated, will be brought under public
oonsideration.-IWorniug Paper.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 26.

John Morris was indicted for having unlawfully
assaulted one Maria Cooke with intent to commit a
rape.

Mr. O'Brien conducted the case for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutrix is the wife of a
policeman, 465 K; that she lives in Sidney-street,
Newport- terrace; and that between twelve and one
o'clock on the morning of the sth inst. she was on
her way home, in company with a friend of the name
of Mary Green, at the house of whose sister they
had been passing the evening. As they were going
along the road by the gardens between Bethnal-
green and Three-colt-lane they heard a man following
them at a quick pace. That man proved to be the
prisoner, and on coming up he addressed them, but
they told him they did not wish to have anything to
say to him. The prisoner, however, renewed his
conversation, and presently put his hand on the
shoulder of the prosecutrix, who insisted that he
should leave her alone, as she was a mar-
ried woman. The prisoner persisted in his
attentions, and having placed his arm round her
waist proceeded to treat her with gross indecency. She
thereupon screamed as loudly as she was able, and
again declared herself to be a married woman. Her
friend, seeing the lengths to which the prisoner was
proceeding, called for the police. Eventually an
officer came up, and was a witness as he was ap-
proaching them of the indecent conduct of the pri-
soner, who was in due time taken into custody.
Miss Green corroborated the evidence of the prose-
cutrix.

Mr. BALLANTINE, for the prisoner, said it was im-
possible for him to struggle against the evidence
which had been given. Both of the witnesses
appeared to be very prudent women, and there could
be no doubt but that the account they had given of
the transaction was correct. The truth was the
prisoner was in drink at the time of the commission
of the assault, for which act he now expressed his
contrition, and was prepared to make any compensa-
tion in his power.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the common
assault.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment.
Mr. O'BRIEN was sorry to inform the Court that
since this transaction the husband and the prosecutrix
had lived a life of great unhappiness.

The Learned JUDGE remailied that the husband
ought to be proud of such a wife, even if it were only
for the manner in which she had behaved in court
that day in giving her evidence.
Elizabeth Goodman, the widow of Thomas Good-
man, who has died since the commencement of these
proceedings, Jane Champ, Esther Davies, and Rachel
Davies, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging
them with having kept a brothel in Queen's Head-
court, Windmill-street, Haymarket.
Mr. Ballantine appeared for the parish authorities
of St. James's, Westminster ; and Mr. Clarkson,
with Mr. Trevethan Spicer, represented the several
defendants.

The defendants having pleaded Guilty,
Mr. BALLANTINE stated that the parish authorities
had been compelled to institute these proceedings in
consequence of frequent complaints having been made
by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The prin-
cipal offender had been called to his final account
since the commencement of these proceedings, and his
widow now appeared at that bar as the chief offender,
while the other defendants would seem to have acted
in the capacity of servants only. It should be stated
that the owner of the house in question was Mr.
Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Commissioner of the City
Police, and he could not but feel regret that that
gentleman should be the owner of property of such a
description ; but being so he now bad the satisfac-
tion of handing him the key of the premises which
the widow Goodman had given up. He could not
but anticipate that Mr. Harvey would now gladly
accept the key with feelings of delight at having
got rid of such a disreputable tenant. He had been
astonished to learn that upon a former application
being made to Mr. Harvey that gentleman had said
that the rent had always been well and regularly paid
by Goodman, and, therefore, that he was not only
disinclined to take any cognizance of the complaint,
but should refuse to accept the key. He was glad,
however, to see Mr. Harvey present in court, and he
now, therefore, tendered him the key.
Tne Learned JUDGE—WeII, Mr. Harvey, I sup-
pose you will not now refuse to accept the key ?
Mr. Harvey should certainly not accept the key
without having previously made some observations
in reply to what had now unjustly and unfairly fallen
from the Learned Counsel. He had travelled 600
miles for the purpose of being in attendance upon
the present occasion. He had come from Lucerne,
where he was when a letter reached him intimat-
ing that this case would come on that day. To
enable him to arrive in time he had travelled
three days and nights, and now he had come he
bad been greatly surprised to hear the observations
which had been made by the Learned Counsel.
That statement was most untrue, for he had no
knowledge of the purpose to which this house had
been applied. He had not accepted Goodman as a
tenant until he had written to a solicitor of the name
of Atkinson, in Carey-street, to ascertain whether
Goodman was a respectable man. The reply of Mr.
Atkinson was that Goodman was a respectable man,
and that he had known him to be so for a number of
years. With such a reference he could have no hesi-
tation in accepting Goodman as a tenant, and the man
had always been very regular in the payment of his
rent. Now, he did not know, as had been stated by
the Learned Counsel, that it was a matter for deep
regret for a gentleman to have a tenant who was regu-
lar in the payment of his rent ; but regular this tenant
had been, and he had regarded the fact as a source of
gratulation rather than fur regret. This was one of
several houses be held under the Crown ; and upon
receiving the letter from the solicitor to the parish
complaining of the conduct of this particular house he
had applied to another tenant of his (" Jem Burn"),
who occupied a public-house opposite, and from that
person he had ascertained that there was no
cause for complaint against Goodman's house.
With such a statement from another tenant he felt
that he was not justified in adopting the course
which had been suggested by other parties, that of
turning out an old tenant, still less did he think that
he was open to the remarks which had been made
against him by the Learned Counsel that day. He
had been paid 401. a year for the last 21 years for this
house, and he had no doubt but that he should receive
the same rent for it for many years to come. He
would now accept the key under the direction of the
Learned Judge, but in no other way, and he would
again say that the Learned Counsel was not in any
way justified in making the statement he had upon
the present occasion.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that, after what had fallen
from Mr. Harvey, be felt called upon, in his own
justification to read the letter which bad been sent to
that gentleman by the vestry-clerk upon the subject
of the complaints which had been made by the inhabi-
tants of the scenes of disgust which were being enacted
in this house of Goodman's.

Mr. Harvey—And read my answer.
Mr. BALLANTINE-Oh, yes; Mr. Harvey should
have no cause to complain, for he would read the
whole of the correspondence. The Learned Counsel
then read the correspondence, which was as follows :

"St. James, Westminster.
" 50, Poland-street, July 28, 1849.
"Sir,—On inquiring into the statements made in the
enclosed communication, I find them not at all exagge-
rated, and being informed that you are the owner of the
house in question, I deem it right to make you ac-
quainted with the circumstances, in the confident hope
that you will be able to rid the inhabitants of the nui-
sance without the interference of the parish authorities.
"I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" G. BUZZARD."
" D. W. Harvey, Esq., 26, Old Jewry."
(Enclosure.) "July 11, 1849.
" Sir,—l am sorry to trouble you with this letter, but
the whole of Walker's-court is thrown into great confu-
fusion, and none of the shopkeepers can gain their liveli-
hood, unless you, as the parish solicitor, discharge your
duty in getting rid of a most infamous bawdy-house,
carried on by a person of the name of Mrs. Goodman, at
Queen's Head-court, Windmill-street, Haymarket, op-
posite Jem Barns', which house is open, day and night,
for female prostitution under twelve years of age. The
neighbours has been watching as well as Sergeant Tyce,
who is on duty; for he can inform you the scenes that
take place every night at that house is most horrid, and
do call your immediate attention to get rid of such an
infamous house, to prevent the destruction of young fe-
males. This woman and her husband has been found
guilty for a similar offence for the parish of St. Clement's
in the Strand, and are under bail. It is to be hoped that
you will see Sergeant Tyce C, who is on duty, and he
will inform you of the dreadful house opened in the
parish for robberies, as well as female prostitution car-
ried on, as no children is safe to go out and take a walk
but being enticed by women and taken to this house of in-
famy. The neighbours inWalker's-court hope, you being
the parish solicitor, that you will immediately proceed

and take the parties into custody, and prosecute them
for such offence,
"I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,

«J. J. W., a neighbour and lodger.
" G. Buzzard, Esq."
Mr. Harvey's answer was the following :

" Old Jewry, July 30, 1849.
" Sir,—l am obliged by your communication, which
much surprised me. Goodman, the tenant, was recom-
mended to me as a respectable person and client by Mr.
Atkinson, of Carey-street. The report you made to
me appears to negative this representation. I shall most
readily concur in any course you can recommend by
which such disgraceful proceedings can be promptly
suppressed and their authors punished.
"I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
" G. Buzzard, Esq." " D. W. HARVEY.
On the 9th of August, 1849, Mr. Buzzard again
wrote to Mr. Harvey as follows :
" Sir,—Since my letter of the 28th ult. I have bad
the clergy of the parish with me on the subject of the
house therein alluded to, which I find is rated in your
books as No. 5, Old Crown•court. The only course I
can recommend you to take is to exercise your authority
as landlord to get rid, without delay, of such a disre-
putable tenant, as I am quite certain that if the case be
allowed to be carried to the Middlesex Sessions the As-
stAant Judge will, on hearing who is the owner of the
premises—an inquiry which he always makes—express
no little surprise at the parish being compelled to resort
to such proceedings. " I am, &c.,

, .
"D. W. Harvey, "GEO. BUZZJILD.
Mr. Ballantine, having left other letters unread, said
—After this it would be for the Court to form an
opinion as to Mr. Harvey's knowledge of the charac-
ter of this house, and then on evidence he could pro-
duce as to his having refused to accept the key when
it had been tendered to him.

Mr. Harvey—That is not true ; the key never was
tendered to me.

The Learned JUDGE said they were not there to
try Mr. Harvey, or whether that gentleman did or
did not refuse to accept the key of this house.
Doubtless Mr. Harvey would now take the key, and
he would also, no doubt, be more careful as to the
character of the person whom he in future should
take as a tenant.

Mr. Harvey begged his Lordship to bear in mind
that he bad received a highly respectable character of
Goodman from a solicitor of the name of Atkinson,
whose letter he had in his hand at that moment.

The Learned JUDGE had not forgotten that fact, and
he would give a caution to that Mr. Atkinson to be
more careful in speaking to the respectability of per-
sons in future, and not to give a good character to
improper persons. That individual had better use
more caution in future, or he might chance to hear
of his conduct through the medium of a rule nisi in
the Court of Queen's Bench. With respect to the
present defendants the key of the house was now
given up, and, consequently, the nuisance complained
of was abated. The Court would therefore order the
defendants to enter into their own recognizances in
the sum of 201., to come up for judgment when called
upon.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-87 REET.
Henry Franklin was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with cutting and wounding with a knife two
police-constables, and Charlotte Hedges was charged
with rescuing the prisoner from lawful custody.
Thomas Roche, 35 F, said—About half-past seven
last Friday night I was on duty in Dudley-street. A
gentleman told me there was a young man attempting
to stab his mother in Monmouth-court. I went there
and saw the prisoner Franklin lying on the female
prisoner. I got him by the neck and pulled him
from the top of her, and got him on his legs, and
three or four women assisted the woman on her feet.
I asked him what he had been doing. The prisoner
said they had been upsetting him and putting him
cut of temper. I then asked him if he would go
quietly home if I would let him. He said he would.
He had not got above twenty yards when he struck a
woman in the face and felled her to the ground. He
then tried to make off, but I got him by the neck, and
saw she (Hedges) was bleeding at the face. She gave
him in charge for assaulting her. I pushed him out
of the court by the neck into Little Earl-street. At
the same time Aspinshaw, 37 F, came to my assist-
ance. Wa had not got above twenty yards when the
prisoner struck me in the face, and I felt blood run-
ning down my face. We want a little further, and
he made a jump, and we all three fell down together.
Franklin got up before we did, and kept his
hand cutting about from one side to the other.
He then made a plunge at Aspinshaw, who said di-
rectly that he was stabbed in the thigh. Franklin
then made a run at me, and I exclaimed, "I am
stabbed in the thigh." Smith, 43 F, came up then,
and Aspinshaw called out, "Take care, he has got a
knife in his hand. Strike him on the arm, and we'll
try and get the knife from him." Aspinshaw took it
from him, and Smith, 43 F, struck him and knocked
him down. Franklin then said he intended to kill
every belonging to the police, that he had long
wanted a chance, and he bad got it at last. The pri-
soner Hedges and another woman got hold of me by
the neck, and I was flung down twice by them. I have
been confined at home ever since until to-day.
Franklin said at the station it was his intention to
take our lives, and he would stab every one belonging
to justice, and even the magistrate he was taken
before.
Smith, 43 F, corroborated the above evidence.
Aspinshaw, 37 F, said—On Friday night, the 19th
inst., I went to Roche's assistance in Monmouth-
court. Tne prisoner Franklin was then in his custody.
After we got some distance the prisoner kicked me
and we all came down. Franklin got up and was
flourishing his hands about him ; then he ran at me
and stabbed me in the thighs with the knife produced.
I said I was stabbed, and that he had got a knife.
Smith then came up and hit Franklin on the wrist
with his staff, while I took the knife from him. I
bled very much and was taken to Charing-cross Hos-
pital, where I have been up to this day.
Mr. H. Dalton, house-surgeon at Charing-cross
Hospital, said,—Oa Friday, the 19th inst., Police-
constable Aspinshaw was brought to the hospital in a
weak state. I examined him, and found two punc-
tured wounds on each thigh, both bleeding. The
wounds were deep, and in a very important region.
I have also examined the witness Roche, and find on
his right thigh a punctured wound, similar to those
on Aspinshaw. I should say the knife produced (a
formidable looking instrument, about four inches in
length) is a likely instrument to have inflicted those
wounds.
The prisoners, who said they were much the worse
for drink at the time, and knew not what they did,
were fully committed for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr, Edward Nunn, sen., and Mr. Edward .Nunn,
jun., cab proprietors and livery stable keepers in the
Curtain-road, Shoreditch, were charged before Mr.
D'Eyncourt with the following violent and aggra-
vated assault upon Thomas Gouch, a constable of the
G division, while in the execution of his dnty.
The complainant stated, that while on duty in the
Curtain-road, about half. past one o'clock on Saturday
morning last, he heard loud cries of " Murder," and
" Police," accompanied by a suppressed exclamation
of " Oh, don't !" from the defendant's yard, and upon
hastening there to ascertain the cause of it was pre-
vented obtaining admission by the gates being closed.
He called out that he was an officer and demanded
admission, but no notice was taken of it, and, as the
cries still continued, he placed his back against the
wicket-gate, forced it open, and, upon entering the
yard, found the younger defendant holding a man
down against the wheels of a carriage and beating
him severely with his fists. He ran forward to rescue
the man from the ill-usage of his assailant, but was
immediately struck by the younger defendant, and
the elder at the same time seized him by the neck,
and after severely shaking him relinquishing his hold,
but was directly succeeded by his son, who quitted
the man he had been previously beating, and struck
him repeated blows upon the body. He extended
his arm to keep him off, reminding him that he
was only performing his duty, when the elder de-
fendant again seized him by the neck, and, forcing
him back some distance, rapped his head violently
against the brick wall several times, struck
him a blow under one of his ears, which again dashed
his head against the wall, and forced his thumb back
with such violence that he was apprehensive for some
time it was broken. An active struggle then ensued
between them, when several other officers fortu-
nately arrived and rescued him from further illusage,
but he had sustained such injuries in the course of
the contest that he had been unfit for duty ever since.
Symes, 111 G, also deposed to being attracted by
the cries of " Murder" in the defendant's yard, and
that upon the first witness rescuing the man whom
Mr. Nunn, :jun., was beating, the elder defendant
came up, seized him by the collar, and threatened
to throw him out of the place ; he then left him for
an instant, but immediately after renewed the attack,
and repeatedly knocked his head against the wall as
he had described. The witness added, in cross-exa-
mination, that in the course of the struggle the defen-
dant's daughter was thrown down, while be was en-
deavouring to keep Mrs. Nunn back, and that the
reason the defendants were not at once taken into
custody was because one of the constables, who ar-
rived at the conclusion of the contest, advised the
complainant to take their names and proceed against
them.in the:usual course by summons.
The evidence of the preceding witnesses was also
confirmed by that of two cabdrivers, named Banbury
and Raynes, the former of whom stated that he was
the person whom the younger defendant was beating
at the time of the officer forcing an entrance, and that
the cause of it was that, after being out with one of
the defendants' cabs from eight o'clock in the morning
till twelve at night, he did not bring home a suffi-
ciency of money to satisfy the defendants expectations,
upon which, after searching his pockets, they punched
him about and beat him in such a manner as to neces-
sitate his calling " Murder" and " Police," in the
way the officers had stated.
M. D'ExxiCOURT sentenced the elder defendant to
