The hearing of the Supreme Court civil action, Andrew Hood (Mr. Pater- I son) v. Robert Hood (Mr. A. E. Skel- i ton and Mr. Vallance) was continued I to-day before Jlr. Justice Hosking. The I case, which is concerned with a long series of land exchanges, in which the \ parties, who are brothers, were eon- ! cerned at various times, is likely to last until next 'week. The insolence of the pirate.. Yon Luck' ncr, and his fertility in the art of deception, make his personal narrative, published in the "Observer," quite fascinating. In the chapters published this week the revelations are more than usually striking, but the most striking tlung about them is the tame and perfectly unromantic surrender of this pirate, who I was so proud of his exploits, to the j greatly inferior ship, the Amra, whSu ended the destructive career of a buccaneer, whose business was not to fight, but to destroy unarmed ships. Those who have not read the opening chapters of this thrilling narrative will be interested in the synopsis published, enabling them to maintain continuity of interest. Revelations that will astound the public have yet to be made in succeeding issues. As the demand for the "Observer' grows, those who wish to be sure of copies should become subscribers at once. There is much to interest them in this sxaart and original weekly.—(A4Jl
