[BY TELEGRAPH.]
, ' LYTTELTON, this day. The Kinross case occupied the Court all the morning. Mr Seivwrightis conducting the pros.ecutionriu the absence of Mr Bees. Mr Stowe, cl6rk to the Legislative Council, and the Hon. Mantell, were subpoened to j give evidence, b.ut the witnesses pointed out that they were debarred, uuless with the sanction of the Council; otherwise; they, had no objection to give evidence.; Mr SeivWright called several native witnesses, but tbeir evidence was shown to be untrustworthy by documentary evidence. He then said that owing to some disarrangement of the time-table, a lot of native witnesses he expected were at Napier. He therefore asked the magistrate either to commit the accused, or adjourn the case till after the meeting oft Parliament. The magistrate declined to commit Mr Kinross, and said he could not' adjourn the case as desired. The case was finally adjourned till the 17lh. An opinion is prevalent that the case is not likely to be heard much more of. ■ :
