HBH 1892 Cassidy and Bailey Estate Somebody or other has set a story afloat that the government bought the s.s.. TERRANORA from the Roman Catholic Church in New Zealand through Father CASSIDY. The tale lacks truth. The Terranora was port of the Estate of the late Mr BAILEY, a Wellington man, and was sold by his widow through the trustees. Father Cassidy's share in the arrangement was not in his capacity of representative of the Church, but as representative of quite other interests altogether.

HBH 1892 June 1 2 Auckland Tuesday-per United Press Association News per Upolu from Samoa reports things quiet amongst the islands. The German warship SPERBER is at Apia. Nothing fresh is reported regarding MATAAFA'S movements. MALIETOA is ill. The collection of the Samoan poll-tax in copra has been deferred for a short time. Some concern is manifested by the European residents of Apia at the announcement that the Oceanic Steamship Company's mail steamers will possibly not call at Apia in future. At the Supreme Court today a youth named Ernest LAWSON was sentenced to twelve month's imprisonment with hard labor on two charges of housebreaking at Ponsonby. James WATSON, who had been twenty-five times convicted of offences, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for the theft of a swag from a boarding house. The prisoner had only been five days out of gaol when he stole the swag. Frederick WILLIAMS, a young man, who pleaded guilty to stealing a horse, and who received an excellent character from several witnesses, was released on probation. The trial of Robert BUTLER, charged with the murder of Arthur KATTAN of Helene Bay, is to begin tomorrow. The manager of the government experimental nursery at Whangarei, Mr W. HESLOP, announces that a number of forest trees will be given from the nursery to school committees or others wishing to inaugurate an arbour day.

HBH 1892 May 29 Execution of Deeming EXECUTION OF DEEMING [BY TELEGRAPH] Wellington-Sunday The following account of DEEMING'S execution is culled from the Hobart Mercury;- MELBOURNE, May 23. At 10 o'clock this morning WILLIAMS, alias DEEMING, paid the last penalty for the crime he committed. The day was dull and bleak, making the surroundings gruesome. There were a large number of Pressmen present, representing news-papers in all parts of the world. The convict bore up well to the end. He was awake some time during the night until early morning, but he afterwards fell asleep and was aroused at 7 o'clock to have his irons struck off. The Rev. Mr. SCOTT, the gaol chaplain, having been taken ill last- night, the assistant chaplain and the Rev. Mr FORBES attended the condemned man in his last hours. At 10 o'clock the Sheriff presented his warrant to the governor of the gaol, and demanded the body of Albert WILLIAMS, who had been sentenced to death for the murder of his wife at WINDSOR in December last. WILLIAMS was then brought out and led to the drop walking with a firm step, but evidently very nervous. No time was lost in adjusting the noose, and the Sheriff having asked him if he had anything to say or any statement to make, the convict replied, "No, sir, Lord, receive my spirit." The assistant chaplain then commenced reading the burial service, and when he came to the words, "Man hath but a short time to live," there was a click as the bolt was drawn, and the final act in the Windsor tragedy was completed, death being instantaneous. Subsequently an Inquest was held and the usual verdict was returned, that the convict had been duly executed according to law. A large crowd had assembled outside the gaol, and gave brutal cheers on the news being received that the execution had been carried into effect. The prospect of the gallows appeared to have broken the condemned man down towards the end. His rest during the night was fitful and disturbed, but he fell into a heavy slumber early in the morning and ate a fair breakfast. Shortly afterwards the two clergymen attended him, praying and reading with him prior to the hangmen entering the cell to pinion him, he was then on his knees weeping bitterly, and in prayer he exclaimed "Oh, Lord, forgive me for having despatched my wife and children without warning." This is considered an admission that he murdered his wife end children at RAINHILL. The gaol chaplain has made a statement to the effect that he could not make out whether the prisoner was a splendid actor or the subject of a diseased brain, but inclined to the latter conclusion. Only twice did the condemned man show any signs of emotion-once when telling how he killed Emily MATHER, and once upon rising from prayer. The Rev. Mr SCOTT has read every line of the autobiography the condemned man had written, which is full of filth and fantastic imaginings, and cannot see the light of day until it has been rewritten, and which can be only done in such a way as would destroy all its originality. DEEMING'S last letter was written on Saturday (May 21st), addressed to the Rev. H. SCOTT, and begged to tender him sincere thanks for the reverend gentleman's past kindness to him, and expressed a hope that he had always shown himself attentive to the reverend gentleman's teaching. The prisoner continues in his letter: - "I die a fully penitent sinner and a Christian, and I still tell you, as I always have, that I did not Intend to kill my poor Emily, nor did I know myself at the time that I did it, and I can only look on my execution as a murder." The body was burled inside the walls of the gaol at dusk in the evening, in what Is known as the old men's yard, near the bodies of other notorious criminals. A cast of DEEMING'S head and face was taken by a phrenologist.

HBH 1892 May 26 Woman has nothing to do How can a man say that woman has nothing to do? In one year she gets dinner 365 times, washes the dishes 1095 times, gets the children ready for school twice a day for 260 days, gets the baby to sleep for 1460 times, makes about 300 calls, and, as she wishes for something she hasn't every minute, she wishes 60 things an hour, or 262,800 things in a year. And yet she does more talk in a day than two average Parliaments can get through in a week-The writer of the above could never have sat in a New Zealand Parliament.

HBH 1892 May 26 Shipping Rio Janeiro to Aus ports Page 4 Malaria on Board Vessels arriving at Australian ports from Rio Janeiro recently state that the place is in a fearful state owing to the prevalence of malaria. In February last the death rate of 50 to 60 deaths per day. The mortality amongst the shipping in the port is terrible. The Captain of the Carned Llewellyn had two of his team stricken with the disease, but he insisted upon his crew making free use of tobacco as one of the best preventatives from contracting the disease, and the experiment proved very successful, as none of the other members of the crew ere affected. The barque Carleton was not so fortunate, as more than one-half of her crew succumbed to the disease. Yellow fever broke out on board the ship Wandlatta, and only two of her crew were left alive, the remainder having died. Nine of the crew of a steamer lying in the port were taken to the hospital in one day suffering from yellow fever. Men dropped dead in the streets of the city daily, and it was a daily occurrence to see the "dead carts" flying by at racecourse speed, conveying as many coffins as they could hold to the cemeteries on the outskirts. Many of the remains of the victims had to be conveyed to the burial grounds by the relatives or friends who would volunteer to deposit them in the holes dug out for their reception.

HBH 1892 May 26 Sir Patrick BUCKLEY English Cable News The Hon P.A. BUCKLEY has been created a Knight of the Order of St Michael and St. George. As the cable message from Lord KNUTSFORD to the Government stops at that announcement, it is to be presumed that Mr BUCKLEY alone in New Zealand has been the recipient of "Birthday honors." If so, the Premier certainly has a right to feel aggrieved.

HBH 1892 May 25 BARRY to Auckland Waipawa News Mrs BARRY gives up possession of the Beaconsfield Hotel tomorrow, and will return to AUCKLAND.

Hi Janet, Do you have the England census information on James? I am not sure if you know about James' parents and siblings but here they are in 1841, 1851 and 1861. I can send images off list if you like. James Smith COUSINS' parents William George COUSINS and Louisa SMITH were marred in Thanet, Kent in 1838. In the 1841 census, James and his elder sister Mary Jane and mother Louisa were in Kent, but father William and brother William were in Berkshire. You may already have all this information but just in case here it is. If you don't have access to the censuses, I could search some more for James' siblings in later years.
