RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. (Before G. G. Fitzgerald, R. M.)

Wednesday, 1 Ith April. Drunk and Disorderly. — Geo. Rogers and John Nelia were charged with this offence *, the former was fined £l, or 48 hours 1 imprisonment; the latter 40s, or four days' imprisonment. Drunk and Incapable. — Alexander Thomson was fined £1, or 48 hours imprisonment. Dx6krtino Wira and Children. — Malcolm M'lntyre, was charged with deserting his wife ana children. The police applied for a remand in this case for eight days, to allow time to communicate with the police authorities in Christchurch. It appears that a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension had been forwarded from Christchurch to the police here, some time back, but as he was not in the district, the warrant had been returned. The police had since arrested the prisoner from the description given of him in tjhe " Police Ghwette."

Parker abxTCo. v. Hepburn— Wtr ,6akes appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff sued to recover £12 iOs, the value or a case of goods, shipped by him at Dunedin for Hokitika, which he had never received. He further stated that he had paid the necessary freight to the agents in Hokitika, and disposed of the case of goods for the sum of £12 10s. By Mr Oakes: Plaintiff had been told some time since, by Mr Houghton, that the goods had been sent to the Grey in error ; and until he took out the summons he had heard nothing more about them. Shortly after he had taken out the summons, Mr John Houghton had writteri to plaintiff informing him that the case bad been received from the Grey, and offering him compensation for the delay in its delivery ; proposing, also, that the compensation to be paid should be determined by two arbitrators, whom he (Mr Houghton) would pay. Mr Oakes, for the defence, did not think it necessary to bring any witnesses. He would simply state that the defendant was willing to pay plaintiffs for the delay in delivery of the case, but could not thiuk plaintiffs were justified in claiming £12 10s, when the case only cost £7. Mr. Fitzgerald observed that he could not do \ otherwise than give judgnlent for the full amount claimed by plaintiffs, namely, £12 10s, and 15s costs, since they had paid the freight to the agents, and had certainly lost the opportunity of selling the goods for that amount, Mr Dooley, of the firm of Dooley and Walker, was summoned by Henry Harris for non-payment of wages amounting to £G. Mr South appeared for the defendant. Harris stated that the claim made by him was for a week's work (£5) and extra labor on a Sunday (£l). Mr Dooley 6aid that a week's wages Were 1 owing to plaintiff, but that he had paid the amount at his (plaintiff's) request, to a person named Melody, with whom the plaintiff had made a bet of £5 about tying soda water bottles, and had lost. The set off was admitted, and judgment given for defendant with costs, 11s. In the cases of Newton v. Smith, Brown v. Harrison, Brown v. Tobyn, Ferguson v. O'Donnell, Miller v. Rogers, Mitchell v. Brown, Morison, Law, and Co. v. Ecclesfield Bros., Johnston v. Joyce, Kelly v. Sellars, Lang v. Douglas, there was no appearance of plaintiffs or defendants. The Court then adjourned until this day at eleven o'clock, a.m. The following list of civil cases is set down for hearing this day ;—; — Henderson and Bonar v. Owners of the s.s. Thane, M'Lean and Co. v. Taggart, Godfrey v. Whitnell, Macgregor v. Pain, O'Connor and Ward v. Culhone and O'Sullivan, Cook aud Co. v. Louttit and Reid, Cook and Co. v. Chambers and Co., Louisson and Co. v. Wilcznski, Marks v. Benjamin, Marks and Co. v. Millar, M'Lean, Fisher, and Co. v. Hyam Marks, Tracey v. Kelly, Miller v. Fleming, Wagner v. Carroll, Richardson v. Flowers and Co., Brown v. Flowers and Co., Tell v. Stone, Solomon v. Moir and Staite, Ashwell v. Donsluce. Thursday, April 12. Lunacy— John Shee was brought up on remand from the 9th inst., charged with being of unsound mind, and upon the evidence of Drs Berndt and Ryley was dis- • charged. Drunk and Incapable — John Wilson and John Charlton were fined 10s each or 24 hours imprisonment. Larceny — John Reid was charged by John Maclean with stealing a pocket handkerchief from him, valued at ss. The charge being fully proved, prisoner was sentenced to 14 days imprisonment with hard labor. Forgery and Uttering — Thomas Reesby was further remanded until the 20th April, in order to allow of the prosecutor arriving from Christchurch. As he had been committed for trial on a previous charge this was no punishment to him. CIVIL CASES. Henderson and Bonar v. Owner of Thane (Mr Little).— Mr South appeared for plaintiffs, Mr O'Loughlin and Mr M'Gregor for defendant. This was an adjourned case. Mr M'Gregor applied for a further adjournment, in order to admit of Mr Little putting in an appearance. The Magistrate objected to grant the application, as he considered sufficient time had been given for Mr Little to have appeared. Mr O'Loughlin said that in Mr Little's absence he had no defence. Mr South observed that had Mr Little been there he must have admitted being the owner, which had been fully proved. Judgment was given for amount claimed, (£100) with the usual costs. Mr O'Loughlin then gave notice of appeal on the grounds that the ownership ot the a. a. Thane had not been proved. Mr South contended that no point of law had been raised on which alone an appeal would lie. The cases cited by Mr O'Loughlin were as to title of a vessel which did not arise in this case, which was under the contract of freight, not of deviation in the voyage. A question of fact alone was raised which was inadmissible. His worship differed and allowed appeal. McLean and Leary v. Lloyd Taggart & Co — Mr South appeared for plaintiffs ; Mr Oakes for defendants. This was an action for the wrongful detention of certain bonded warehouse warrants A-52, S 1, 2, 8, and 9, of four quarter casks of port wine, issued from Mr Palmer's bond, and the plaintiffs claimed a return of the property or their value, and for detention £100. Mr Oakes applied that the case might be dismissed, because the sum of £100 damages was claimed, in addition to the return of the goods or their value, which amounts would together bring the total beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr Fitzgerald said he did not read the plaint with the meaning that Mr Oakes did ; nor did he think that plaintiffs sought to recover both sums, but either the warrant or value of the goods, or the £100. He therefore overruled the oojection. Mr Hepburn, of the firm of McLandress, Hepburn & Co, being sworn, stated — that he had a power of attorney from the trustees in the above estate, which was accordingly handed in. Some considerable time . since, witness saw Mr Taggart and asked him to, deliver up all the goods in possession belonging to plaintiffs' * estate. Defendant produced four warrants at the time, for four quarter casks of port wine. Defendant also observed that he had some money in his hands, due to the firm of M'Lean and Co. Had both by writing and verbally, asked Mr Taggart to deliver him the warrants. This he refused to do, unless plaintiff signed an

indemnity! holding him harmless in case of , 'tin action being brought against, defendant. [ X tiotice^vsis He,t*e' but in by ..Mr South, I Purporting -to come from the plamtitf, Mr. i Hepburn, demanding the warrants. By Mr Oakes: Could not state how many s interviews he had with Mr Taggart. Be- . lieved the warrants were in the names of i Lloyd, Taggnrt & Co. Was aware of the fact, that the delivery would be useless, unless endorsed. He knew the goods were in Palmer's bond, but believed that , they had since been got out of bond. Could not say whether Mr 11. Reeves' name was mentioned at the first conversation with Mr Taggart. Did not remember Mr Taggart saying that, if he handed them to witness, they were not to be considered the property of M'Lean and Co.. Mr Leary, sworn, deposed that he was formerly a partner in the firm of M'Lean & Co. He had sent certain goods to Lloyd, Taggart Si Co. for sale on commission. A statement of the assets and liabilities of the firm of M'Lean & Co. was here handed into the Bench. The goods in question were consigned to Lloyd, Taggart & Co. and were a joint speculation of the firms, M'Lean and Co. and Lloyd, Taggart & Co. , When witness first came down to Hokitika, , Mr Taggart told him that he had a claim against the estate, and that he would hold the 1 warrants as security. Could not say whether the goods mentioned ill the warrants were taken out of bond before the firm of M'Lean and Co. became insolvent. By Mr Oakes : The goods were consigned to Lloyd Taggart and Co., to induce them to meet a certain " bill. Mr South here objected to the line of evidence, as being irrevelant in this action, one of wrongful detention, and if the defendant failed to prove his title to the warrants he must consequently fail in his defence. W itness said he had never demanded account sales. For the defence — Mr Taggart remembered the goods in dispute having been consigned to him. Mr Oakes asked whether Mr Taggart knew where the goods were at the present time. Mr South objected to the question. Mr Fitzgerald overruled the objection. Mr South then asked the magistrate to take a note of his objection. Mr Oakes (continued), the goods were bonded in Mr Palmer's bond, Mr McLean took the goods out of bond before he became insolvent. There was a joint account between the two firms, they had bought the goods between them, and had agreed to sell them in Nelson if Ilokitika proved a failure. A part of the goods was sent to us down here, and the rest were sold by Mr McLean in Nelson. Witness instructed his partner to dishonor the billn we had paid for the goods ; they were consigned to us as a sort of compensation until Mr McLean accounted for what he had sold in Nelson. Cross-examined by Mr South — We claimed to detain the warrant because all account sales had not been closed between this flrnrand McLean and Co. Part of the consignment had been sold by McLean at Nelson, and not accounted for by him. Mr South here produced and put into Mr Taggarts hand, account sales by his firm, with their receipt at foot for balance due to them on 27ih September 1865, of £l 7a Id. This did not close all accounts, because the sale at Nelson was not accounted for, the loss on shipment at Nelson was included in them. The receipt therein " lieceived by cheque Lloyd, Taggart and C 0.," were only figures, but receipt was given by his firm. Would swear he informed Mr Hepburn at the interview referred to in his hearing, that he claimed to retain warrants on this ground. The bills he instructed his partner in Dunedin to dishonor were not in connection with other consignments at all. By the Court — Had never sued on these warrants. Mr Palmer — Could not cay whether the goods were delivered to McLean and Co. before or after their insolvency. Believed he had received a notice not to deliver. The warrants only state that the ecoods had been warehoused by Lloyd Taggart and Co. By Mr South — Supposing the estate had been sequestrated on the 15th day of August, he would cousider the goods the property of the estate. Mr Reeves, said that in a commercial point of view, the goods, judging from the warrants, were the property of Messrs Lloyd, Taggart, and Co. Mr South ; And in a commercial point of view, Mr Reeves, if the estate had been uuder sequestration these warrants would be the property of the trustees ? Mr Reeves : Very likely, but lam no judge. Defendants were then ordered to either pay £100 or give up the warrants in dispute. Costs, 255., counsel's fee, £5 ss. In the course of the hearing, on the warrants being produced, Mr South applied to the Court that the warrants might be impounded in Court, but the application was disallowed. Godfrey v. Whitwell. — Mr O'Loughlin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Oukes for the defendant. The plaintiff claimed the sum of £60, the value of a boat, which waa run into and destroyed by the steamship Kennedy. The plaintiff said he had seen the boat a short time before the accident occurred in thorough working order; the boat was then lying at the steps. He did not sec the accident, but saw the boat immediately afterwards, when she was half full of water aud perfectly useless. In answer to a question from Mr O'Loughlin, plaintiff said he purchased the boat for £35. Mr O'Loughlin then called George Craddock, a waterman, who stated that he saw the accident, and that the boat was now perfectly useless. A ship's carpenter here stated that he valued the boat at from £30 to £35. Mr Oakes, for the defence, called Captain Turnbull, the harbor-master, who said that he was on board the Kennedy at the time, and that no blame could be attached to the master. The boat was moored to the steps at the end of Wharf-street, but the/ rope being very long, allowed it to get into the fair-way of the river. Hud any person, however, been there to look after the boat, the accident would not have occured. Judgment was given for the defendant, with costs 275., and professional costs £5 ss. Macgregor v. Pain. — Mr South appeared for the plaintiff, Mr Oakes for the defendant. The plaintiff, who was a passenger by the South Australian from Dunedin to Hokitika, in the month of January last, sought to recover the sura of £83 2s, the value of certain clothing and trinkets stolen from his portmanteau on the voyage—the portmanteau having been eutrusted to the defendant. Mr Macgregor sworn, said — I took a passage in the steamer South Australian in the month of January last. My portmanteau was given into the custody of the mate. When ] arrived in the roadstead off Hokitika, I saw my portmanteau on the deck of the steamer. I went ashore in the steamer Bruce, and left my portmanteau to be forwarded afterwards. When next I saw it

on the Ilokitika wharf, three weeks afterwards, it was empty with the exception of one or two small things. I know it was empty, because I sat down upon it, and it collapafctt', 1< called upon the agents, and acquainted Mr lloughton of what had occurred. I offered to come to terms with Mr lloughton, but he refused to make me any allowance whatever, and was very flippant, and asked me if I was certain that I had put a portmanteau on board the steamer. By Mr Oakes: I am certain that all tho things I claim for were in the portmanteau. I believe it was placed in the hold of the South Australian. Mr Oakes said he was unable to call any witnesses, owing to the captain not being here. Judgment was given for the full amount claimed, with costs. O'Connor aud Ward v. Culhone and O'Sullivan. — For goods sold and delivered. Judgment given for plaintiffs, by default, for £100, with costs, 255. Marks y. Miller. — Mr South appeared for plaintiff. An action to recover £64 15s, for goods sold and delivered. Judgment by default for amount claimed, with 21s costs. The Court was then adjourned till 11 o'clock tho following day. In the cases of Cooke v. Loutitt and Reid, Cooke v. Chambers, there was no appearanoe of plaintiffs or defendants. Friday, Autih 13. Breach of the Pbacm in view or a Con-stable.-—Thomas Rosenburgh and John Breeze, both bellmen, were charged by Constable Carr with this offence. It appeared that Rosenburgh objected to the opposition bellman making use of his employer's board to stick bills on, and tore the bills of. The opposition retaliated with paste, and Rosenburgh, in defending himself, let his bell fall on the head of the opposition. The Magistrate very properly fined the "belligerents 10s each, advising them in future to choose a more retired spot to settle their disputes thau the public thoroughfare. ■v Richard Agnew and Henry J. Leo were charged with the same offence. A constable stated that both offenders were drunk, and fighting in Revell street, near the Tramway Hotel. Mr Campbell appeared for Agnew, and said that his client was sitting in the Tramway Hotel, and, hearing a, noise, had gone outside to ascertain the cause. There he found Lee, and a scuffle ensued between them. Mr Gibson, proprietor of the Tramway, said that Lee was in the habit of annoying him by tap-pijj-r at his door at night. The charge j :i f \i;ist Agnew wa9 dismissed, and Lee (id.".'i JOa. Diutnk and Incapable — Geore "Villicra was fined 10s for (his offence, with the alternative of 24 hours' imprisonment. SunimEs op tiir Pkace. — Information was laid by John Miicready against 11. B. Morris. The plaintiff was locker in Mr Reeves' bonded store, atid the defendant was clerk in the same employ. The plaintiff swore that ho considered his life in danger from the following circumstances : — lie said that a dispute had arisen about the stowage of some casks, and that defendunt had called him a volume of filthy luines, and had finished by giving him a thrashing. Defendant said that whilst tying his shoe-string plaint!ff had' struck him in the face. A hammer happened to be close t>y, and he picked it up and threw it at him. Upon being hit with it, plaintiff turned round, and a fight ensued. The Magistrate told defendant that, as plaintiff had sworn he was, in bodily fear, he (defendant) would have 1o find sureties to keep the peace for six months — himself in £50, and two sureties in £25 each. Sureties at once came forward. CIVIL CASES. Richardson v. Flowers & Co.— -This was an action for work done, £36. Judgment by default for amount claimed, with costs Bs. Stone v. Fell— Mr Campbell for plaintiff ; Mr South for defendant. This was a claim for £43 ss, being £24 5s for goods sold by defendant, and £19 for special damages. Plaintiff said he was a blacksmith, aud had bought the goods in question at a sale in Dunedin, where he was then residing. lie shortly afterwards went to Victoria, leaving defendant with authority to sell the goods. On his return to Dunedin. he found defendant had gone to the Grey, taking 9 cwt. of bolts, two cramps, and an anvil with him. The value of these he now sought to recover. The remaining goods had been left in Dunedin. They had since been sold, and he (plaintiff) had received the money for them. Pliiintiff then came to Ilokitika, and sold to a Mr Steel the goods defendant had brought with him, giving him an order to deliver on defendant. This defendant refused to do, and Mr Steel sued plaintiff hi the Magistrate's Court, Ilokitika, and obtained a verdict, for £40. By Mr South : Had been told that the goods now in dispute had been brought from Dunedin by defendant ; he had not seen them himself. Defendant sad the plaintiff was in his employ in Dunedin ; that they conjointly bought some goods at a cost of £14. When plaintiff left for Victoria, he requested him to leave the goods with a friend of his. This defendant did, having previously sold a portion for tho sum of £6, which he handed to plaintiff. Some of the goods were bought in plaintiff's name, and some in his. The profits were to be shared. Mr Fitzgerald gave judgment for the defendant, observing that, as the plaintiff had paid the whole of the purchase money, £14, there was clearly some further sum than the £6 he had received due to him ; but, plaintiff having laid an action for the whole amount and special damages, he could not take notice of whatever balance might be due to him on the purchase money. M'Carthy v. Hepburn — This case was further adjourned on the application of Mr Oakes, after the evidence of the witnesses for the plaintiff had been heard. We will, therefore, defer reporting the case until concluded on Monday next. Miller v. Fleming, Wagner v. Carroll, Blown v. Flowers, Ashwell v. Donoghuc. In these cases, there were no appearances of plaintiffs or defendants. The Court then adjourned until this day at eleven o'clock.

Dr. Sharp, of Oxford, had a ridiculous, though a very common habit, of prefacing all his aonloncos with tho woi-ds, '• I say." An undergraduate having mimicked this peculiarity, tho dootor sent for him to givo him n jobation, which ho began thus • — " I say, thoy say, you say, I say 'I say' ;" when finding tho .ridiculous combination, lie concluded by bidding him quit tho room,

WEST AUSTKAMA; (From the « Perth Gazette," Feb. 23.) " Two of n trade can never agree," so says an old adage, and we appear to . have a notable instance oi it in the differences which have long been knOwn to prevail between the comptroller general of convicts here and the former comptroller general of convifcts in Tasmania, now Governor of this colony, probably made so on account of his efficiency in tho former appointment. However that may be, there is no doubt Governor Hampton has not lost his taste for his old occupation, and honce Captain Newland and himself have come to loggerheads ; and it is believed that when his Excellency does fall out with any of his officers he finds plenty of occasion to render things unpleasant. In the present instance, tho differences arc of long standing, and it is no secret that the Governor' has made representations to tho Secretary of State alleging insufficiency on the part of the comptroller, and making him the subject of frivolous complaints, all of which, if report speaks truly, the Secretary of Stato has set aside, with the exception of two points, upon which Governor Hampton, is unequivocally condemned. Under sucb. circumstances, a continuance of Captain Newland in his present position became almost impossible, and, therefore, by the last mail the Secretary of Stato authorised Governor Hampton to oiFor him leave of absence to proceed to England, and wo believe ho is not without an intimation that some other appointment will be found for him. The appoiutmeut of police magistrate at Perth has been filled up, in the person of Mr E. W. Landor. We are still without any information as to the result of the protest against tho decision of the Legislative Council upon the petition for an elective Legislature, no despatches on the subject having been received from, the Secretary of State. The forthcoming Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne is being prepared for by the committee appointed to collect suitable examples of the produce of the colony, and wo ho-vo every reason to beliove that, in cultivated as well as natural sources of wealth, we shall make a respectable show. Our minerals and timber will bo well represented ; as also wines, olive oil, dried fruits, and other horticultural productions, but in articles of general agriculture we fear the season has been too unpropitious to admit of our sending such samples of wheat, &c., as we exhibited at the London Exhibition of 18G2, when wo .sent samples weighing 701 b, 661 b, and 051 bto the bushel. There is one department — essential oils, &c. — in which we fear we can make no adequate representation of what could be procured from the natural vegetation of the colony, from want of the requisite chemical knowledge. Very many of the native trees and grasses are known to possess valuable qualities in this particular. A painful case has occurred, which has excited much attention. A man named Pollit, a well known drunkard, was found one morning in a fit, and died shortly after. He iiad been tipsy on the previous day, and at the inquest a jury of three persons returned a verdict that the deceased had died from the effects of excessive drinking. As the man was a pauper, and belonged to no particular religious denomination, the burial was part of the duty of Archdeacon Brown, as colonial chaplain, but, under tho circumstances, the reverend gentleman felt that he could not conscientiously read the burial service over the body, and refused to do so, aud also informed tho undertaker that he would not allow the interment to take place within the Church of. England Cemetery. As thero was no other cemetery available to him, tho undertaker was compelled to bury the body in a spot appropriated to executed felons. The very unusual occurrence of a somewhat serious destruction of property by fire in Perth, and the fact that much of it might have been saved had there existed any organised means of prevention, has awakened attention to the necessity of our being better prepared in future, and at a meeting of some of the citizens it was resolved to form a Volunteer Fire Company, and to ondeavor to procure funds to provide a good engino and a proper equipment for the men. The fire which gave rise to this movement occurred on the premises of Mr Solomon Cook, and resulted in the destruction of tho stables and principal part of tho roof of his oxtensive workshops. The loss has beoii estimated at about LSOO. The ceremony of laying the founda-tion-stone of a masonic-hall in Vnrth took place on the 12th inst., when all the peculiar rites on such occasions appertaing to tho ancient craft were faithfully observed. Brethren from all parts of tho colony took part in the procession. The principal public works at present in progress are fivo bridges— North Freeman, Perth Causeway, the Helena, and two over the Avon. With the exception of that first named, the plans of construction of these bridges are generally approved of. The work ot cutting a navigable passage through the north end of tho river bar at Free mantle is progressing as fast as possible under the circumstances ; it has been found the limestone conglomerate forming the surface is only tho capping of a coral reef. The improvement of the navigation of the Canning lliver is at length being proceeded with satisfactorily ; this is an important and not very expensive work, promising a great benefit in facilitating tho transport of timber cut upon the Darling Range. The drought still continues to provail, On the coast line the summer

has as yet been the coolest wo remember,' with only four or five days which can be said to have been hot, and those principally occasioned by extensive bush fires burning all around. The season has been characterised by unusually heavy and cold Sero breezes and southerly winds, often blowing long into the night, and rendering' flitf temperature so low that on some openings a fire would have been enjoyable ; generally speaking, there has been a great amount of moii.; iro in the atmosphere East of the Darling Range, however, the summer has been one of great heat and dryiieas, and the country is parched up to a degree beyond even what has generally been tho (Sa^e" at this time of the year; but apart from the inoonvenience of having iv some instances to move their flocks from their usual runs, we do not hear tho stock owners raako any complaints of want of either water or feed. Wo have no further news from the north west coast, but are expecting the return, in about a fortnight, of the Emma, which vessel left Champion Bay on 26th ult., with 600 sheep on account of Mr Padbury. \Ve' regret to have to report, as was anticipated, tho failuro of Mr Hooleys attempt to force his way overland to Tien Tsin Bay ; a total want of feed and water between tho bottom of Sharks Bay and the Gascoigne River forced a retreat, and the party have returned with the loss of some of their horses. The first exhibition held by the resuscitated Perth Horticultural Society took place on the 7th February. Tho quantity and variety of fruit on tho tables was by no means equal to what we have seen on forraor occasions, as was to be expected from tho very unfavorable nature of the season, but in size and appearance wo have never seen it excelled. The wines exhibited were very favorablo samples of colonial produce. Tho dried fruits, such as raisins, &c, were really beautiful samples, certainly far finer than anything of tho kind we ever see imported. The colonial market is now entirely supplied with home-grown raising, and vineyards for their growth are found to be very profitable investments. Some very fine olive oil was also exhibited. The export trade of the colony has again been active during the month, five vessels having sailed for foreign ports with cargoes of timber, horses, sandahvood, and sundries. One of the finest lots of horses that ever left the colony was shipped in the Vimeira, at Champion Bay. It consisted of 110 animals ror the Madras market. The sandalwood trade is again active, and as the advices from Singapore are that that market is bare of the article, we may hope that better prices will now be obtainable. The jarrah trade, too, is flourishing. Two vessels have sailed with cargoes, one for Melbourne and one for Adelaide.

A. Wedding Toub in the Clouds. — The New York balloon wedding tour, for which preparation had for a considerable timo boon in progress, took pluco on tho Bth of Novomber. Thoro was a largo assomblngo of spoefcators collcctod in tho lower part of tho park, tmd all tho contiguous region, to boo tho bridal ngo up. Only two persons accompanied rido and bridegroom.
