Our Auckland correspondent wired last i evening:-* 1 " At the banco sittings of the f Supreme Court t.o>day the cases, A.itkcn r, | Swindloy and Pcarcc v. GroviHe, were ad- : Journed until after the v3Cutton,~T.he long. : standing case McCornvick v. Bean, in Which : Sir McCormick appealed, to have the decision; of the Warden" reversed r« the CarJigaii lixlonded spocifll claim was concluded today After hearing argument at considerable length His Honor licld that the decision of the Wardqh n'-aßjcpVi-qet. He'could not see that any other construction '■ be put ou section 125 than that the laud should be deemed abandoned unless, the. Warden granted a« extension 6f time.. Ihe time expired on the 22nd; March, and no : extension had been granted and therefore the land had become abandoned. The appeal was dismissed with <£1010s costs. At Waitekaiiri on Saturday a young man named William Brownett, 19 years of age, met with a painful accident. He was rid-: iiig (says the "Miner") up the jubilee ; frack, carrying a basket and leading a. pitckdiorsO) when he was mot by aijiobof. horses boiiig driven down by some lads.' Meeting in the narrow track,, the -horses lvatiiralty lashed out, and he was dismounted, right vii the middle of the track, and the only wonder is that lie escaped from what looked like certain death. The other lads., frightened at the result, cleared into the. hush, and left him to his fate, The young fellow's pluck is shown by tire fact that, oil recovering consciousness, he took oft the pack-saddlq and walked home, a distance of over a mile, though his jaw 1 was broken and several of Ills, teeth knocked out-. He was taken to the chemist's, Mr Faidderfy at Waitckauri, and a message sent to l)r* Wright., who set the jaw, and removed the poor lad to. the Waibi Hospital, to put him. under Miss Ariiaboldi's care. Mr Catran, bookseller and stationer of. Pollen street, is to thfe fore as is usual at. Christmas tim« with him \yitj) a fine assorted stock of cards, toys, and goods of a more expensive nature, suitable for pre-. scuts. His cards are a particularly nice lot and arc no doubt as he says, the very best that money can buy. lit imports: them from Home, and not only their beauty. but their novel designs strike one at the first ghnee, and the cheapness ni which they arc sold is surprising. For instance; the packets which are sold at from sixpence to two shillings are wonderful value, and there are also boxes of cards containing ten With envelopes, which arc sold for one shilling. It is the hand-painted designs on ivorine which are specialty attractive; already they hove been in demand and. ; doubtless be'foro'the festive season is much, nearer Mr Cattail will find his stock in that; particular article exhausted.. We need not Mention tho toys* they are as some adver- : Users say "too numerous to particularise,." but the goods in the shop suited for more claborato presents cover a wide range, and. moreover include some really handsome as well as useful aitioles, Nbfc tlie least Worth meiitlouing which come undo- that category are handsome tea-sets, ladies' companions,. arid writing desks.* the. first named being of most attraciiye designs, nnt the com*, pinions are so nicely finished and so useful. n$ to make them coveted by nil feminine beholders, The writing desks are of many patterns and prices--from sixty shllings highest priccd'being well mou-ited, well inlaid and veneered, and good value is found in those of Japanese : pattern which may be obtained for about '. twenty shillings or so. Mr Catran has- also laid in a fine stiwk of books suitable for 'school prizes and all the popular annuals are to be found on his shelves, including "Boys' and Girls' Own'* and "Young } England," which it may be said arc Bold at [Auckland prices;. There are numerous, .other features of Mr CatMti's stock., but we : }i ive said enough to. show that in. the shop. can be found everything likely to be be re* quired in the particular line,^[ApvT,} PiiNOFOEtBs carefully timed for 7* 6d,- : pflriodicul visits at reduced rates?
