Tbe worst is that the trial Is held with closed, doors. 1 wrote asking that a represen tative of the College, myself or one of tbe tutors, should be present, as some of the students were suspected, and my request was backed np by tbe Acting- Consol, bnt the Government did not even vouchsafe a reply Several Euro peans tried to get in, but were repulsed, Onr Consol was in one day, bnt not knowing the language did not attend again, so the poor fellows are at tbe mercy of their merciless foe. Two of onr ministers have been arrested, one for having said the Consol and myself had been sbot at, which was a fact, bnt it was construed into something else. The real reason, I am told, for his incarceration is, that the people nnder bis care stand firm nnder all pressure that can be brought upon them and it Is hoped that they will be more amenable now he Is separated from them. He has sent word to me that he hears nothing about any crime that he has committed, bnt it is dinned into him from morning to night to lorn over to the Free Church. The case of the other minister is abont the most painful I have known. His name is David Finaf, a man of spotless life and great culture and great ability, with one exception the ablest Tongan 1 know, pavid, on the night before the assault, happened to be thp boose of one of thie parties pon perped, vyhen tbe paid individual was palled ont, and on his return said some thing to the effect that the fellows were come to shoot Baker. David told the man to order them off, horrified with tbe abominable project, and strongly ex horted tbe man to have nothing to do with them. That was all. He left tbe Jipnie almost immediately, and did pot gep.tbe jpurmen. The next day bis mind was painfully divided between two courses that lay before him—via., should he inform of it or not ? Why inform ? There might be nothing in it.
