New Zealand Spectator, AND COOK'S STRAIT GUARDIAN. Saturday, April 14,1849.
The William and Alfred has brought only a Sydney mail, the November mail having been put on board the Princess Helena, which sailed on the 21st ult. for this Port, vid Twofold Bay, and may therefore be expected daily. If the Postmaster at Sydney has any discretionary power in the choice of vessels for the conveyance of mails, he will best consult the public convenience by despatching them by a direct opportunity, although, as in this instance, the vessel may sail a few days after that proceeding by an indirect route.
From the intense excitement caused by yesterday's trial, we have reported at length the proceedings of the Court as far as we are able ; the remainder of the trial will appear in our next number. There were twenty witnesses examined, and the case for the prosecution did not close until after nine o'clock last night, when the Court adjourned until this day at ten o'clock, the Jury having been placed under the custody of an officer of the Court.
From the length of the proceedings of the Special Commission, we are obliged to defer our report of the Hutt races to our next number. Two races came off on Wednesday, when, owing to the very unfavourable state of the weather, the others were postponed by the Stewards to this day. But as it has rained with but little intermission during the interval, if the races take place to-day, the newly-formed course must be utterly unfit for any thing worthy the name of racing.
