Wi Neeia To Kanae, of the Ngatitoa tribe, a, prominent native and great grandson of Te Rauparaha, died at an early hour this morning at his residence at Porirua. Tc Kanae, who was W assessor of the Native Land Court, was 59 years of age. There is not much change in the condition of May Johnson, the young woman found suffering from phosphorus poisoning in the Pirie-street Reserve on AVedneiday afternoon. Yesteiday she was leported to be progressing favourably. The case bearing on the parentage of tho infant abandoned by a young woman named M. J. Morris some months ago on the doorstep of King's Chambers, was concluded at the Magistrate's Court today, when Michael Malley was lad judged the- putative father of .the child, .nnd ordered to pay 7s 6d a week towards its maintenance, first payment to' be made on .bhe 4th September. Dr. A M Arthur, S.M., who (heard the casealso directed tho defendant to pay £6 6s expenses and £2 Zi solicitors' fee. Mr WJford appeared for complainant and Mr. Wcston for defendant. Tho five years old ensa of Mitchell v ths Loan and Mercantile Agency Company was beforo .his Honour -the Chief' Justice this morning, .sitting in Chambers. Tho point at iasuo is whether the salo of the Aramohn Freezing Wotlm should '03 made within, ono month or within three months .Mr. Morison on hehilf of Mitchell, objected to tho 'oale being held in ons month, on the ground that so short a notice of eale wno .likely to result in ,1 leaser price being obtained than a three months' notice would occure. .Mr. Bell, counsel for tho company, objected to a three months' period being fixed; it would maku it impossible for tho company to find a purcha&er, as the freezing season would be then too far advanced. It would necessitate the company .buiying .'ha business iUself, and the company did not want to do that. After argument, his Honour said he would adjourn the present proceedings until to-morrow morning, and in tlio meantime he would again go ■through the affidavito submitted by each side. He had conic to no conclusion at all. Mr. Bell's offer to allow Mitchell to purchase for £47,000 before the 31at March next was very ganjrous, and if there was any bona fides in iMitch»ll'a objections, it seemed *lo Jiia Honour that tho offer should be accepted. Hio feeling at first on reading tho affidavit* was that the sale should be postponed, but hin opinion had bscn very much (shaken by what Mr. Bell had said. Ho would pu&tpono tho proLcedingH imlil to-mor-row morning to givo time for nn arrangement to be entered into, and if thai did jiot eventuate he would then givo judgment. , Munt.
