i The only case set down for hearing before the Supremo Court in its civil jurisdiction on the 16th was that of Martin Kennedy v. Henry Ranish, which was a claim for £751 and interest, qr damages. On the Court assembling, Mp Skerrett, who appeared for the plaintiff, informed his Honor that the case had been settled out of Court, and asked that it should be struck out of the list. This was done, and the jurors who had been summoned to attend were dismissed until the following morning, at 10.3® o’clock. His Honor intimated that the Court had decided the question of costs in two cases in which judgment had been delivered on the previous day. In the matter of the Attorney-General v. Seth Smith, there were practically tw® separate defences, and the costs had been fixed at ten guineas to each defendant, and their disbursements. In the case of Hakopa v. Seth Smith the Court allowed ten guineas costs to deffendant and his disbursements. JT Mr W. G. Haybittle, of Feilding, refthraed from a trip to England by the Athenio last week.
