ntViii- agreement was made with him ex cept that he was to he paid out of the pro fits on the bricks. —By Mk Branson : The larger number of the hncks still remain on the ground. I don’t know of my own

knowledge how many were burnt, I used some of the bricks to build part of a chimney. Never attempted to sell any of the bricks. I asked him to come away from, his contract, and do some digging in my garden.—By Mr Crisp : Plaintiff had left his work for months before I used some of the bricks for my chimney, t had had to buy some other bricks to pre* Tent these from being broken down by the frost.—By the Bench : Bricks are worth about L3a thousand in Ashburton. Order for L 4, with LI 14s costs. Fanny Gosling v. George Robinson. Application to make defendant contribute to the support of his illegitimate child. Mr Spackman, plaintiff; Mr Joynt, fir defendant.—George Robinson, deposed : I do not admit that I am the father of the child. The letters produced were not i written by me. They might have been written by my authority. [Letter read in which he stated that he would provide for the child, and that he had paid more than he thought he was bound tc do]. I believe that letter was written by my authority. [A second letter was read, in which the writer said that he did not , know the writer.] That letter I wrote. [A third letter was read of the same tenor as the first. * He said in this letter that the child belonged to Mrs Gosling and her husband, and he would have nothing to do with him, certainly not take him to his own house.] There was L2l to be paid to a woman who had taken care of [A. fourth letter was read to the 'same effect.] I don’t know whether the cpmplaimant is or is not the mother of ‘ the child by me. —Fanny Gosling deposed: lam the complainant in this case. About t four years ago I was in the service of Mr Robinson, at the Rakaia Hotel. 1 had connection with Mr Robinson, and had a child by him—a boy. He is now in charge of Mr Peckham. The child was born in Sydenham. It is still living. My sister (Margaret Fayre) and a lady named Mrti Mackay were present. Mr Robinson ■ came down the night the child was born. Mr Robinson gave my sister some money on that occasion. I cannot exactly tell how much money X have received from him altogether.—By Mr Joynt: The child was horn in April, 1878. I was then a single woman. My name then was Fanny Fayre. I got married last year to Mr Gosling. He is a waiter. Have lived with my husband ever since ; but saw the child last week at Christchurch. It was a healthy child.—By Mr Spackman; Have had another child since I was mamecL—Mr Joynt contended that the fact of the complainant being married and living with her husband relieved the defendant of farther responsibility. [Vol. 1, Merson and Welsley’s Exchequer Re ports.] He quoted Levy v. Spencer in support of this view. The learned counsel also quoted the case of Stacey v. Lintell. The first of these were English cases, and in 1858 all English Acts became appli cable to. New Zealand in default of positive enactment to the contrary, or of their being naturally applicable.— Mr Spackman replied, contending that the case of Stacy v. Lintell was a Victo rian case, and as the Victorian Act had never been adopted in this colony, the case did not apply as a precedent here. He referred to the New Zealand Destitute Persons Act, 1877, to show that cases of thia very kind had been provided for, and that the putative father might be sum moned and compelled to pay for the sup port of the child, even though the mother was married to another person subse quently to the birth of the child. The Resident Magistrate said he would reserve the point and give his decision in Christchurch. Mr Joynt referred to the English Lavs Act of 1858, an Act passed in New Zealand to show that English Acts, except those inapplicable to New Zealand, or repugnant to the legis ation of this colony, were in force as laws here. In a bastardy case it was obvious that there was nothing in England inap plicable to a similar case here. The Resi dent Magistrate said he would give his decision in Christchurch on Thursday next. . v , . The Court then adjourned for an hour, Armstrong v. Hartnell. Claim for T.IR 10s, for sinking a well—Mr Purnell ' for the plaintiff.—After hearing evi dence the Bench thought the contract not completed, and plaintiff was nonsuited without costs.

lirstTLTiNe Language.—Maria Jones v. Elizabeth Church, and Elizabeth Church v. Maria. Jones. —Mr Purnell for Mrs Jones; Mr O’Reilly for Mrs Church.— From the evidence it appeared that the two women, wives of farmers at Ashbur ton, began a conversation about butter, and then wandered off into some strong language, in which both complainants and defendants impugned one another’s chastity, and made use of decidedly coarse language. After hearing evidence the Bench bound both women over in securities to keep the peace to one another. ■' - ‘ ~ ' .

A COLLISION ON ENTERING WELLINGTON HARBOR. - * (by telegraph.) Wellington, To-day. A collision occurred at the Heads last night, between Captain Williams’ barque Australind and the brig Neptune, which were beating up the passage. The Aus tralind was on the port tack, and the Neptune on the starboard, and on near ing one another the wind baffled both vessels, and went in stays, but was not in sufficient time to avoid a collision. The bow of the Neptune struck the bow of the Australind, and the latter had part of the head gear and stem carried away. The whole of the head gear, and four or five staunchions and the bows of the Neptune were carried away, no other damage being done. The captain of the Australind stated that the collision was purely accidental, and would have been avoided had the wind not baffled. Meetings- S OMERSET LODGE.
