KAN'S EIJI OFF..—SGIN/1/8/ RiChartimM, a harvester, was charged with assaulting John Cook, at Flixton Wold, on the 12th instant —From the evidence of complainant, he was harvesting with Mr. Dauby, of Flixton Wold.. He slept in the barn with four other men; and there was another harvester and his wife slept in the granary which was above the barn. On the Sunday night in question, the man who had the granary for his sleeping apartment took his " better-half" for a walk to the neighbouring public-house. Here they met with other three gentlemen, who were engaged in gathering the fruits of the earth at a farm adjoining Mr. Danby's, the defendant being one of them. After refreshing themselves at the public-house' the man and his wife returned to their apartments in the barn, and were followed home by Richardson and his two companions. Why they followed the man and his wife home did not transpire. About twelve o'clock complainant said he awoke and heard cries of "murder", from the barn above. Thinking all was not square with the occupant and his wife he proceeded to the granary steps which were outside the barn, and there saw the three gentlemen above named on the steps. He went to the top of the steps and asked the man inside to open the door. This. the man declined to do. The defendant and the other men were stood at the top of the steps. Whilst he was asking the man inside the barn to open the door, the defendant struck him on the riglyt side of the head with a stick and knocked his ear off. In answer to the Bench defendant said his ear was nearly off, it was attached by a piece of skin. He (complainant) never spoke a word to the defendant. When he ftruck him he fell on the steps. He tied his head up with his handkerchief and Went back to bed. Next morning he was conveyed te Hunmanby where his ear was attended to by Dr. Cassidy. Supt. Winterbottom said the complainant's ear was cut almost off. Defendant never told him (complainant) why he struck him. He had had no quarrel with him previously.—Defendant refused to say why he struck 'complainant; but denied striking with a stick.—The Chairman said it was almost impossible to cut the man's ear off with his flet.—Defendant said he struck the complainant, but could not say what he struck him with. He said he must have tint his ear with falling down the steps' as be fall down after he (def9,dant) strut*, him, and after that ran with his head against a gate.—Complainant said he did not remember running with his head against a gate. After the defendant struck him he fell, and on getting up he made the best of his 'way to the barn.—The Chairman said it was fortunate the defendant was not standing before them on a more serious charge. It was a wonder he had not killed the complainant. It was a disgraceful and unprovoked assault, and they should fine him p including costs, in default one month's imprisonments

MURDER OF A MILLIONAIRE BY BURGLARS.  The New York correspondent of the Daffy News sends particulars of the murder of Mr. Einell. the Chicago millionaire, which he says is one of the most startling instances of a murder by burglars which bee happened for many ye,re .—Mr. Snell went to bed about ten o'clock, the servants following half an hoar later. A little after two o'clock the cook was awakened by the sound of five or eix pistol-shots, fi,e,l at short but irregular intervals. Between the shots she could di•tingutsh Mr. finell's voice crying, "Get out; get out." She jumped out of bed and aroused another servant. Both crept into the hall on the fourth floor and listened. They could hear nothing, and no answer was made to their calls. Half an hour later they thought , they heard a door slowly opened and closed in the lower hall, hut they made no attempt to Investigate the noise. A little alter FIE c'e'ook the coachman came to the house to light the fires. He went to the baisement.door and fount that just above the latch an oblong block hat been cut out of the door by boiing ei,hieen hone with a half.inch bit, ant through this the burglat'e harm lied been imerted and the bolt pushed beak. The door stood partly Hier. Tt.e coachman entered and passed quickly • through the hall to the front room in the basement, which Mr. Snell need as an office, having it fitted up aith a desk and a safe. Here he saw that the safe had ly,en ransacked, while the floor was strewn with papers. He ran to the hall passage on the parlour floor, where he mumbled and almost fell over the uead body of his employer, who lay there cold and rigid. A revolver was lying on the floor beside him. It had five chambers, lour filled ant one empty. There was a build-wound in the heed and smother in the heart. His night-shirt was 'dinned with blood, whieh was in little pools on the floor. An examination of the premises revealed the manner the murder was committed. Toe double parlour-doors had been locked. By, means of a shiest the burglars had brrkee open the doors and secreted themselves in the parlour. On hearing Mr. Sne.l desesud the staircase—for the noise they made in opening the doers evidently awakened him the'y shut the Marrs met lock refuge behind them. This was after they had opened the safe. Coming down with a loaded, revoorer Mr. Snell discovered the presence of the thieves. He shouted to them to get out, and fired a shot through the panel in the door. The bullet lodged in the wall on the opposite side of the roots. Two other bullet boles were in the door, hiving been fired from the inside by the intruders. Then it appeare I that Mr. BoelL attempted to hem open the doors, when aoother shot was fired from within, ploughing a small furrow at the edge ol the door as it swung ajar, and probably entering his body. While he WWI reeling along the hall from this fatal wound the 1018.8 ins must have stopped out and sent another bullet through his bruin. They then walked out of the house as they came, taking their booty with them, and leaving no brace behind.

THE CHINESE INFLUX IN NEW SOUTH WALES. —The Sydney Morning Herald sus : "Within the last fortnight upwards of 2000 Chinese have arrived, and there is now a very large nutulicr :11 en route from Hong Kong to this colony. The Chinese who are here explain that the exodus from the home country is occasioned by the great depression which exists there. The new-comers are ignorant people, who are orpiliis to either read or write. It is only by great self-denial that they are able to scrape together sufficient money (about IS, we believe) to pay for their passage ; and the great part of them are almost penniless when they land here. Some of the Chinese merchants in Sydney believe that before the year is out 20,000 Chinese will land at this port, unless some cheek 01111 be put upen the inflow. Instead of being, as many people think, a source of prcfit to the Chinese employers of !Abour here, the immigrants prove a serious burden, for they have to be housed and fed until they can be sent, or forced to go, into the country. The majority of Chinese merchants and residents in Sydney are averse to the wholesale importation of Chinese to this colony such as is now taking place."  Bear Joanna !—Scene--A British Court of Justice towards the close of the Nineteenth Century. Judge, Jury, Counsel, and Prisoner disoove:ed engaged over conclusion of Trial on a charge of Manslaughter. Judge (finishing up) : And though the fact that the woman whose hair you first tore out in handfale, and subsequently kicked to death, happened to have been your wife, would naturally have told much in your favour, and have enabled roe to take a lenient view of your conduct, still human hair and human life are valuable things, and these cases are, I ant surprised to see, getting rather common. I must therefore pass on you the severest sentence the law enables me to inflict. You will be imprisoned for the epees, of ten calendar days. (Sensation, during which the prisoner is removed with a wink, when the next case, one of common larceny, is called on, and being rapidly disposed of, results in another verdict of guilty.] Judi (once more finishing up.) And now there remains nothing more for me to do bu) to assign to you the punishment for your crime which it so richly deserves. You have been found in unlawful possession of a small quantity of false hair, of which you can give no satisfactory account. And about your case I eau discover no mitigating circumstances. You have not secured it by violent assault. You are not married, and you cannot, therefOre, allege as a plea for mercy that you have torn it freely from the bead of your half-murdered wife. It is false hair, taken possibly from the very counter itself, and worth, I should presume, ten. pence to an enterprising barber. Yours is, in short, a grave and heinous °Sena. The Baritone° is that you be kept in penal servitude for a period of fifteen yews. Tableau. Ourtain.—Punch.

HARVEST PROVECTS.  Most of the wheats are now in ear, and another week will show the material of which the wheat harvest of 1882 is to be made. The week just past has in some cases been a critical one—in all cases must have been a highly important one—to the wheat crop, and the major portion of its influence has been so much more to the bad. The direct tendency of this most recent spell of cold wet weather, which appears to have travelled Irons west to east over both hemispheres, will be to retard the harvest, and plant growth has been so continually checked of late that the crops can scarcely now be called forward for the time of year; a spell of tropical heat might yet bring an early harvest, or a further fall of snow which, with ice-bergs in the Gulf Stream, is quite as possible as the one which has just occurred—might afford a further check. It is not possible to say what the harvest will be any more than what the weather may be; but it is quite possible to overlook and disregard the probable effects on the ultimate yield of wheat which may reasonably be brought about by extraordinary climatic influences and certain unfavourable collateral circumstances. This appears to be done extensively just now. It might be well to bear in mind that not only each month, but each day, from the time the seed is sown to the time the grain is fit to cat, has its own individual share in the determination of what the mop will be ; and when it is remembered that since the middle of March down to the present time the season has been detrimental to the wheat crop, it becomes a reasonable question whether a plant which has been checked and stunted in its growth, is spirey in its habit, sickly in appearance, and in too many cases standing on impoverished soil can be expected, even with good weather from now krward, to produce a good yield of good grain. Those who regard the matter in this light will be inclined to discount she 1882 crop rather heavily at this stage, notwithstanding the fact that there are some good crops in nearly every district which, if nothing in the shape of disaster either by weather or by blight should overtake them, may be looked to for favourable results. That the crop does not stand so well now se it did in March there will be few to deny, but there are many who appear to think that no harm has been done which future sunshine cannot remedy, and to them each fine day is the assurance of a bountiful harvest. With regard to the trade, prices are weaker for the very small quantities of native produce on offer. —From the Mark Lane Express.  A shocking tragedy has occurred at sea. The captain of the ship Freeman Clark, which has arrived at New York from Calcutta, was brutally murdered on the voyage. Whilst asleep in his berth, the steward (a Chinaman) attacked and killed him, the Chinese cook of the vessel at the ' same time inflicting severe wounds upon the chief officer. The crew thereupon killed both the Chinamen, and threw their bodies overboard.  •

DREADFUL MURDERESS.  A Vienna correspondent writes :—" On the 30th November, at 10 a.m., a dreadful woman, one Kste Nagy, was hanged in Steiman-Anger, the frontier town between Styria and Hungary. In the annals of crime she will occupy one of toe first places, for, although she confessed to six murders only, she was convicted of 26, and we may suppose that she committed many more. She fond means of obtaining poison from chemist' in small provincial towns by pretending to have s house full of rats. The small cakes which she sold in a tiny shop were so universally liked by old and young that she could sell poisoned cakes to the persons who wished to rid themselves of a superfluous relative without arousing suspicion. Her first murder was probably that of her husband, and when this remained undiscovered she committed a succession of other murders, for which she was paid by the parties concerned. Her victims were men, women, and children, old and young, and although her neighbours had long suspected her, still no one dared for some time to commie her of the dreadful crime. She was believed to be very pious, and it was by her aid that the Dominican hien of Stein-anAnger were able to found a religious society which gained great influence in the course of years. Although she confeeeed to six murders, the Court of Justice condemned her only to bard labour for life; but the Imperial Council, appealing to the High Court, obtained a death sentence, which was signed by the Emperor about the middle of last month. Ever since the sentence was unnmunioated to Kate Nagy she has spent her days and nights in praying and fasting, with her father confessor ever by her side. On Thursday the hangman arrived from Buda Pestle, and Kate Nagy was taken to the plaoe of execution at the other end of the town. When she appeared in the street everyone was surprised toffee a meek little woman of about fifty years of age, with a kind, motherly expression in her small facie. She was escorted by a detachment of Imperial dragoons, and followed by thousands who had come from all parts of the country to see her. As else entered the wooden fence which conceals the gibbet from the eyes of the public, she started, for her daughter came up and begged leave to enter with her mother. When she was refused, she fainted in the arms of some women who had come up with her. The hangman fulfilled his terrible task in a few seconds. In the meantime the crowd Outside behaved in a most shameful manner. They surrounded the murderess's daughter and declared she must be executed also, because such a dreadful woman's entire race should be extirpated once for all. The ruffians would have lynched the girl had not a brave woman stood up in her defence, and by her undaunted courage intimidated those near her until some dragoons came to her rescue. Kate Nagy refused to name the persons for whom she prepared her poison, so that they umnot be prosecuted."

DOMESTIC QUARREL.  HUSBAND THREATENS TO MURDER HIS WIFE IN CHAPEL STREET. --PITIFUL STORY OF MARRIED LIFE: LOVE TURNS TO HATE. -AMUSING COURT SCENES: MELODRAMA RIVALLED: A HEAVY FINE.  After repeated adjournments the case against Albert Edward North was proceeded with at the local police court on Saturday before Col. Y. G. Lloyd-Greame. The charge was that of a.saulting and beating his wife, Emily Charlotte North on October 18th.  When questioned as to whether he were guilty or not guilty defendant said he was innocent but he would plead guilty to keep the disgrace from his children.  Mr. A. West-;pp-;;;reTio-r-Tile complainant and said there had been no cohabitation for three years, the wife living in a house on the Esplanade. Any affection she might have for him he stated must now be very nearly akin to contempt.  In outlining the case, Mr. West said the husband had been in the shit of making visits to see his wife and on tober 18th, he made one of these periodical visits. Mrs. North happened to be shopping but hearing her husband was attempting to enter the house she immediately hurried home and watched him make sundry attempts to get in the door. Then he went higher up the Esplanade and she took the opportunity of getting into the house and locking the door. pefendant came back and again attempted to get in, and used a great deal of unseemly language and the wife, sooner than have a disturbance and create a scandalous scene, elected to face the music and came out into the street. Her daughter locked the door after her. Defendant tried to get in and, finding himself Caulked, began to abuse his wife. He followed her from the house in the Esplanade into Wellington Road and during that period he was using the most abominable language to her. When it was safe to do so he committed a number of petty assaults upon her and in Wellington Road he committed what he would ask the Bench to say was a serious assault. He asked them not to convict of a common assault but of an aggravated assault. If they convicted for an aggravated assault he should apply for a separation orcipr on behalf of the wife as her husband had been convicted of an aggravated assault. Dr. A. E. Whitehead said he examined the complainant on October 20th, two days after the alleged assault. She was then at No. 1, Regent Terrace. He said there was much discolouration and bruising on the left arm above the elbow, and bruising and discolouration of the neck. The muscle* of the throat were swollen and very pAinful on examination. There was also bruising and discolouration of the right leg below the knee. In answer to Mr. West: That would be consistent with a kick.  In answer to the Bench : The swelling in the neck appeared to have been caused by a gr. .  - the defendant; Where was the mark on the neck?  Dr. Whitehead On both sides of the neck. The defendant: I never hurt her, I couldn't. I never hurt the woman in my life.
