The Chief Justice has given judgment in the case of Peacock v. Cameron, recently argued in Banco. Peacock was convicted on a charge of keeping a billiard saloon in Wellington frequented by reputed thieves, and he appealed against the Magistrate's decision. His Honour f-aid that, where, as in the present case, the keeper of a public billiard room kept open for the admission of all who desired to play billiards, he might quite innocently admit reputed thieves to his room. He (the Chief Justice) was of opinion that if the ptrsons were wellknown to be reputed thieves little evidence might be required to show that tho defendant knew they were such, but that evidence simply that they were reputed thieves was not enough. They might have been known as such only to the police. If the defendant could prove to the Magistrate's satisfaction that he was ignorant of the repute of those per:ons he should be acquitted. The conviction must be set aside, and the case renitted to the Magistrate, as agreed. Mr. (Veston was for appellant and Mr. Myers for respondent (Detective Cameron). Tho Employers' Federation Conference 'oncluded its deliberations shortly after won to-day. This afternoon it ■will lay ts views f before the Premier. The written judgment of the Chief Justice in the case relating to the will of the late Wm. Quiuney, of Motupiko>, Nelson, argued in Wellington last week, has been received from his Honour, who is at present in Napier. The widow has been in possession of the farm property since her husband died, and has nanaged it. The trustees, however, consider that they should manage it. The widow had been assisted in the management by her sons, all of whom lived in the district, but she has now appointed a manager to act for her and live upon the farm, and the executors and the sons object. The question for the Comt was whether the trustees could put her out of occupation of the farm and carry it on themselves. His Honour decided that she could not be interfered with in her management of the farm so long as sho did not commit waste. He therefore gave judgment for her on the original summons with £7 7s costs to each party, to come out of the estate. Mr. Myers was for the trustees, and Mr. D. M. Findlay for the defendant widow. The Wellington tailors' football team left for Nelson to-day to play a match in Nelson on Saturday.
