Sir Walter Bnller has received intimation that the Hi.u;h Court of Justice has given a verdict for defendants in the case brought by Dr. Cameron against Sir Walter Buller and ethers, directors of the Blue Spur Company, in which it was sought to recover damages for being induced to take shares in the company. A railway guard named Robert Hansen was shunting a train at the Franktou Junction, on the Waikato line, yesterday, when he fell beneath a truck loaded with coal. Two wheels of the truck went over his left arm, smashing the bone from the forearm to the shoulder. The arm was amputated at the Hamilton hospital three inches below the shoulder joint. At the R. M". Court to-day there were only two cases down on the list for disposal. A yoman named Franois Middleton was ebarg-ed with drunkenness, but she denied the allegation, saying that she was not drunk, but very ill. She was often taken like that when out. The police gave evidence to the effect that she was very intoxicated, and the KM, fined her a crown and costs. — Richard Torpey, for a similar offence, was dealt with in a like manner. In regard to tho writ served at Aucklar.d upon Captain Hinckney, late of the Leading Wind, a settlement has been arrived at which will have the effect of releasing him and staying , further litigatiojj. The basis of the settlement is that Mr Mabin's adjustment respecting the datnagred cargo is to be withdrawn, and security is to be given for the payment of all claims under a legal settlement, to be drawn up in Bo=ton by a member of the British Average Adjusters' Association. An inquest has been held on the skeleton that was discovered "at Puhipuhi. The remains were found at the foot of a dead kauri tree, and had evidently been there for a very lone: time. Two holes, which appeared to have been made with a sharp instrument, were found in the skull. The jury returned the following verdict : — "That the deceased met with his or her death by the hands of some person or persons unknown, but at what particular date there is no evidence to show." A meeting of eharbholders in the Equitable Assurance Association is advertised by order of the Westland committee to be held ab Hokitika on Monday next to consider the present defiant attitude of the directors in refusing to act upon a requisition from shareholders representing 30,750 shares, for the appointment of inspectors under the Act, and thereby obtaining a legal and searching- investigation into the affairs of the association ; also, to consider the causes that have led to the enormous losses whereby the entire capital, amounting in the aggregate to £65,680, has entirely disappeared, with a further prospective loss, in winding ud the business, of £16,410, thus creating a gross total loss of £82,000 in four years only ; and lastly, to consider the best means whereby the shareholders may obtain a full and complete legal redress from the directors and by every effort to prrsecutp a diligent and complete investigation into the past most serious mismanagement of the association.
