Judgment was given by Dr. A. M'Arthur, S.M., to-day, in the ca>so m which William Jolm (Wrett, butcher, sued Mary Emma Spring for £4 12s 7d, for goods supplied. As the defendant had piud a sum equal to the amount of the debt contracted by her, judgment would bo for defendant, with coals fll Is. Mr. Bolton appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Lev! for defendant. A Press Association message which we published regarding the enquiry at Auckland into the wr«ck of tho barque Saragosla on Mnngaia bland, merely stated that the captuin a certificate had been suspended for thr«e month*, and that he had been ordered to pay the costs of tho enquiry. The Auckland papers report that the Court found that there liad been negligence in not allowing for discrepancy between tho two chronometers, in not using tho patent log or the hand log, in not allowing for set of current, and in not having rounded tho vofcaol when the weather conditions became unfavourable when tlte vessol was known to bo in proximity to the island. v Mr. Kettle, S.M., remarked that tho gallant conduct of tho second officer, who volunteered to swim Ashore with the line, iros worthy of high commendation. His volunteering to go ashore was tho means probably of saving tho lives of, if not all, nome of the crow, while it appeared very probable that ho would bo drowned in his endeavour to save the lives of his shipmates. The Court placed his gallant conduct on record. With regard to tho death of the sailmaker, Jones, the Court was unanimously of opinion that it was purely an accident, and that neither tho officers nor tha crew were to blanio in the matter. Arrangements have now been completed whereby the journey from Auckland to Dimedin can bo mode in practically two days. The New Plymouth train will arrive hero about an hour oarlior than it does at present, and will catch the Southern bout, which will leave about 8 p.m., instead of 7.30, arriving in Lyttelton in time lo catch tho express for the SoutL, which will leave at 10.10 0,m., and run 'through to lnvorcargill, where it will arrive obwit midnight In th« event of the Welling ton-Lytteilon boat boing delayed, passengers will be abl to catch an express M-hich leaves Christchurch before 2 o'clock and reaches Dunedin before midnight. By these arrangements, a person may leave Auckland on Monday night, arrive here on Tuesday night, and be if. Itivercargill on the Wednesday night. It ia also intended to arrange a swift South to North servico by despatching an express train from Dun«din about 8 a.m., which will reach Lyttelton between 6 and 6.30 p.m. Tho boat will leave Lyttelton earlier than at present and arrive in Wellington about 6 o'clock in the morning of the following day, in time to catch the morning train to New Plymouth via Manawatu. There the Auckland boat will be caught, and tho traveller will go straight on to Auckland An express train will also leave Dunedin before 2 p.m., and reach Christchurch about 10.30 p.m. The express from Invercargill leaves there about 8 a.m., enabling travellers to catch the afternoon express to Ghnstcburcb, t>o that it will be possible to get from Christchurch to Invercargill jn one day. These arrangement.* are not yet ratified, but are on the point of being finally decided upon. The report of the Engineer of the Hutt County Oouno'il (Mr. A. W. Newton) upon works done during the past month shows that a good deal of ordinary repairs have been effected throughout the district. On 'the Main Eastroad metalling had been continued on the Korokoro length. In the Munguroa riding one of the bridges in the valley had been completed, and is now in use. The second bridge is to be completed within a fow days, and tho settlors propose to recognise the event with a formal opening ceremony. Work has been commenced upon the erection of a bridge on the Western Hutt-road in tho Epuni Riding, and another 40 chains of roadway has been formed on Phllllps's-road, Whareroa Riding. All "thirds" available have been expended in widening and metalling roods at Hikionmgi, Tho Engineer reported regarding the proposed toad from Motukarativ to Pukerua, which is in tho vicinity of Plimmorton. 'Die distance covered by the roadline was about 270 chain*, the area of land required to be taken off Mr. Walker's property about 30 acres, and tho length of new fencing would, be about 240 chains. Owing to some rock cuttings required, the cost of forming the fiist section to Plimmerton would amount to from £550 to £650, according to how much work was done on the 20 chains through the swamps. The total amount required for fencing and formation would necessitate a £2000 loan. The Engineer bad previously reuorted that a summer road could be mode from Plimmerton to Wall's boundary for about £200 if use was made of the old "benched" track along the railway. The Council did not take any aotioa upon the report. The regular meeting oi the executive of the Employers' Association was "held last night in tho rooms, Willis-street. Mr. Win. Cable presided, and there was «, f4ur attendance of members. Four new members were elected It wan suggested thnt a general meeting, of members should bo held shortly, ana it was agieed that, the question bo further considered at the next, meeting. In connection with the nittings of the Arbitration Court on the ,40th mat., tho Secretary reported the gteps being taken in certain disputes and breaches of awards. Of the fatter there were about 80 cases for the city end suburbs alone. Compliant was made of the growing practice of workmen smoking during work hours. The Arbitration Court having ruled that a person not engaged in an industry is not under obligation to observe the ruling award if he employs a worker, it was resolved that tho Federation Vigilance Committee be asked to try to obtain aa amendment of the Act. It is proposed to form a Coursing Club at Petone, and a meeting of those interested is called for to-morrow evening at the Central Hotel, Petone.
