Babot, an action brought by a ship steward against the marine superintendent for the North Island of Shaw, Savill .and Albion Company, to recover £200 for losses alleged to have been caused by the nonfulfilment of an arrangement to appoint plaintiff second steward of the Tainui. The trial resulted in a verdict for defendant. The plaintiff had twice previously brought his action in the District Court in different forms and failed. Three charges preferred against, a printer and two booksellers for breaches of the Printers and Newspapers Registration Act in connection with the publication in Christchurch of the Pall Mall Gazette disclosures, come on for hearing before Mr Beetham, R.M., to-morrow.
