ASHBURTON— FRIDAY

(Before Mr H. G. S. Baddeley, 8.M.)

Civil CASHS Ashburton Publishing Company v. F. Mallaby.—Claim, £4 2s 6d, for printing and advertising. Jod nient by default, with costs. The Magistrate stated that he had received a telegram from the de fendant confessing his indebtedness. Tins was an informal way of confessing judg ment, and could not be recognised. QDr Koss v. Mone.- Claim, £4 B s . Mr Purnell for plaintiff. Judgment for plaintiff by confession, payments to be made, as agreed, at the rate of £1 per month. „ . , r Same v. Keith.—Claim £4 3s Bd. Mr Parnell for plaintiff. Judgment by de fault, with costs. Same v. Crosbie. —Claim, £2O 15a 6d. Mr Purnell for plaintiff. Mr Cayg.ll for defendant. Plaintiff’s counsel stated the account had been running since 1881. He doubted whether the defence was a bona fide one, and he thought the object of wishing an adjournment was to gain time. Defendant, in reply to the Court, stated that he had been charged wrong y for medical attendance. He could not obtain information relating to the account, although he had applied for same. Mr Parnell said the defendant had frequently promised to pay the account. His Worship suggested a conference be tween the parties, with a view to an amicable settlement, which was agreed to by counsel. Rouse v. Whaley —Claim, £44, for rent of a billiard room at the Canterbury Hotel at Methven. Mr Wilding for plaintiff, Mr Crisp for defendant Mr Bouse, landlord of Uie Canterbury Hotel, deposed that on the 15'h of November, 1883, he let the billiard room to Whaley at £1 15s pe- week. Whaley was to re ceive the takings Witness was to pro vide kerosene and all accessories. There was a verbal agreement Defendant held the room for the time claimed, till April 23rd, 1884, during which time he re ceived every shilling. Did a good busi ness at that time. The takings wo dd be between £4 and £5 per week. Would swear the takings exceeded £4 per week Witness had taken £6 and £7 when business was in a similar rtate. Defen dant had bis board and lodging free (Mr Wilding: A very nice little billet. — Laughter.) Defendant stopped in the house about a month after he gave up tho room—about three or four weeks. The reason plaint ff left the claim so long iras because he could see no chance of obtaining the amount due Defendant bad obtained judgment aga nst witness for £3 8s 6d, for wages from September 6, 1886. Witness ma-'e a contra claim before the Methven J stices, but the amount was above the jurisdiction of that Court. Witness agreed to the sum of £5 3s being deducted,—Cross-examined : Produced day book, cash book, and lettger for 1883-4. Witness had no entry of the first item of £4O ss. only entry he had was ef the dates the defendant took the room and left it. Entries of cash payments by defendant were, of coarse, also entered. . ■ [Witness was cross-examined at'ength respecting entries in his books, as to when defendant left the room, &c.] He never gave Whaley a written account of what he owed him Witness asked him frequently to pay the rent, remarking that as he was doing a good business 1 e should pay it instead of spending the receipts in drink. He could not trust defendant, who was drinking every ten minutes of the day. Paid frequently for games he p ayed, although it was understood he should nol be charged, “my playing being for the good of business ” His Worship could quite understand anch an agreement.

By the Court: Allowed defendant to remain in the house after “I cleaned him out of the billiard-room,” because he had nowhere else to go to After he left Pattman's, where he said he got no wages, defendant came back to ray hotel and worked for a time Whaley for this was allowed 10s per week by the Methven Justices. Mrs Bouse, wife of the plaintiff, gave corroborative evidence Witness thought the arrangement with Whaley was for payment at the rate of £2 10a a week Whaley, defendant, deposed that ho etaved with Rouse for some time When witness sued plaintiff for wa es, he <on sideredtbat asettlement had been effected The set-off put in by house was for £l9 10s, the amount being reduced by R use to bring it within the jurisdiction of the Methven Justices. Mr Baddeley : If Rouse did so abandon part of his claim, it is rather a peculiar thing that *he case was not heard Mr Wilding : Yes, yonr Worship. Witness continued : When he took the room he told Bouse that he could not tell him what it was worth. It was agreed that witness should continue for a time, in order to see what it was worth There never was any definite arrangement. Mr Bouse played three or four games a day, sometimes winning, sometimes losing The charge was Is per game Rouse never paid for the games he lost. Witness often paid Rouse m< ney lor the rent f the room, but could not give dates " hen witness left the room, House told him he could remain at the hotel tiff he ot some thing to do In return for free board, witness was required to keep Houses books, and conduct h's correspondence. On November 13th 1886, Rouse offered witness £1 to settle all claims He also sa)d there ■was an amount due 'or the billiard room, hut that as he hacUn '■ day or date he could not recove-. 'No claim waa made by Bouse until witoe s deman-

ded payment of wages When witness first took the 100 m, he took a out £3 a week ; when he left, about 10 1. The average amount taken, iecludiog that booked, was about 30a Cross-examined : Don’t know what my predecessor or successor paid for the room at Methven The marker at Patt m&n’s pays nothing. “Times •re too hard to pay retit fob a billiard roorp r Am ijj receipt of reiiiittarpes from sometimes. He entered all the games played by Bonse, bat lost the pocket book in wbicb tbs entries wears made.

by tiie Cm-1: He comd nay cleti ni e ! y how much money he paid Rouse for rent Mr Wilding : Mr Rouse is quite willing to allow for any cash payments to which the defendant cm honestly swear. M- Baddeh y : He says he paid about £G 15 s over and above whi; Rouse has credited

Mr Wilding; We are quite willing to allow that sum.

His Worship, in giving judgment for £3O IGs and (with usual costs), said it was ridiculous to suppose that the billiard room was t- be had for nothing, and £1 15s u week, with board, &c., included, seemed to him to he a reasonable amount. 0. W. Baker vMca'-:i. ciaim £8 i2s. Mr Cu'hbertsori for p'a at ff. Mr Wil ii g for defendant. Wi ; nesses In the case w<-re jrdered out of Court

Plaintiff, a member of the firm of B iker Bros., d< posed—Remember pur chasin',? a maro from the defendant on September 11th Saw the mare at Mr Mcßae's. Thought it was a good animal, and would match another of mine. The price was £9 10s. Asked if she was good in harness, at it was useless for me to have a horse that was Dot, He replied that the mare was thoroughly good in a ngle harness, and had been employed In cart ing. Asked what she could pull, and he said sh« had been taking half-i-ton rf feed regularly to the aheap. He als gauranteed her to be not more than 8 years old. The horse and mare wefe matched, and I was at first satisfied with the purchase. Maclean wan e-d a deposit when I rgreed to give him £9 10. Re fused to do so until I had seen the mare in harness. On the same day Maclean osme back and a?ked me to settle as he wished to purchase another horse. Asked him to leave a note that she was good in harness. He pooh-poohed the idea, say ing such a note was quite unnecessary. Thought I could take his word and left the cheque with my brother to settle with the defendant. The la'ter came ro' nd to our place with the mare in a trap, when Bh‘> appeared quiet enough Went away sg>in and returned with the mare only Ab.ar a week a terwar ls I tried the mare In a trap wh-lch she coo'd n >t pull an inch f>r fuly ten minutes On 17th October the ssme thing happened when she w»s tried by a man in my employ. •' e tried her for about half an hou •; she kept backing, then sat down, and finally rolled over. (Laughter ) His Worship—Rather a lively experi ence. Witness—The mare was sold by auction for £3 5a at Bu'lock’s Arcade- Maclean was first asked to take the mare back. The animal was sold on Novem er 6 h The mare was fed first month on oats and chaff

Mr Wilding : No wonder she jibbed Witness : Afterwards we gave her two feeds a day r lhe cost of keep was about 6s a week. Lent the mare to Fawcetts once to go to Wakanui. Have had considerable experience of horses. The mare could not have been properly broken in.

Cross-exanrned : Don’t know whether Maclean told my brother he would sooner take the ; mare hack than g'vo any guarantee. Tried therna ein the hearse. Mr Wildiig: How did she go ? Witness : I took her out quicker than I put her in. (Laughter ) By the Court —Witness instructed his solicitor to write as he advised to tho de fendant. W’os positive that Maclean guaranteed the mare to be good in single harness.

John Ware Baker, brother of 'ast wit ness, deposed : Witness remember-’d his brother leaving with him a cheque for £9 10s to pay Maclean for the mare. De fendant called for the cheque and witness took the receipt, and wrote out a guar antee, which Mnclean| declined to sign. Witness then tore it up. The paper asked the defendant to guarantee that the mare was good and sou d, and the de fendant refused, saying 'hey could fake his word for it that she was good in single harness, and, as far ns he knew, also in double harness. (Witness here corroborated his brother’s evidence as to the anim; I’s fracliousness.) Mr Wilding askei what was done with the receipt.

Witness : It is unstamped in my office The paper was sent for, and after pay ment of the usual fine, was admitted in evidence

Witness, to Mr Wilding —The guarantee was on the same p*per a* the receipt- Defendant bjected to sign it. and it was torn off The mare was wanted more for the lu arse than anything else Maclean would not guarantee that the mare would would run in double harness.

Henry Thompson, in the employ of Mr Scott, livery stable keeper. Charles Fawcett, a laborer, and J Trevurza, deposed as to the mare’s fr'Ctiou'ness in harness. The last witness said he bought t h e mare three years ago for £4 5s She was then an aged mare. J. A. ivtacpherson, auctioneer, and Thos. Hughes, who sa d he was used to horses, deposed that in their opinion mare was not staunch. They also gave evidence respecting the cu«t m in Ash burton of giving wri'ten and verba 1 guarantees In the purchase and sale of s ock

Kor the defence Mr Wilding called he defendant, a farm manager, who deposed : The mare was not my property, but I gave the Bakers the impression that sh was. Haveh»d the mare in use about 18 months. She only refused to pull onc° — In a dray Fver rfter I had ro diffiooHv in either riding nr driving her. The Babers asked me if she would go quietly In harness, and I told them I won d show them. Afterwards I drove up to Biker’s place, but could n>t see either of 'be breherr! I took the mare out of the stable, put her in harness, and droy • about, coming back <o Bakers’ yard Went to his private h use red back again to yard, where B- ker saw the ra’te In harness. Ask'd him to eet In the trap and diive himself. Ha refused, saying b* would walk J drove, when he B‘opped me, saying he was satisfied she waa quiet. I had no wish to sell the mare. Baker sfkrd if she would go in double harn-ss and I sMd I did not know ; she had been employed in the plough, and in carting feed for th ■ sheep When I re ceived the cheque I refused to guarantee the mare as being staunch and sound, and remarked that sooner than do so I would lake t'er home. I tore off the guara- tee and gave a receipt on the I lank paper at foot Received no notice that fe mare was going to be sold by Baker Bros

After hearing further evidence regard ing the capabilities of the mare and her quietness His Worship gave judgment {< r £6 12s. with costs, £6 7s. The Court adjourned at 2 30.

Town Hall, Ashburton, this place heu g, we think, win- ly chosen as being the mat con venient centre. Th - opening ceremony was performed at half-oast iwo o'clock by the i 6 v Mr Bea' tie, of tho Ashlurl.cn church., who addresser; to ilioae atsemb-ed a few congratulatory »nd encourag nr remarks and declared tho. Bazaar opm ti the public. The appearance of the nail is highly creditable to the promoters . f the Bazaar, the stalls being furnished with an abundance cf pretty and useful articles which will doubtless attract cowds of customers These are displayed on four stalls, two on each side of tho iron and include an infinite variety of goads in needlework of all hinds, lacework, clothes, pictures, dolls, toys, ornaments, fancy goods of every description, oc. Among the contents of the Stalls we nolicH in particular as specially worthy of remark were some very beaut ful examples of Indian embroidery, pictures on talc from Tnohinopoll, and on rice-paper fro Northern India, Indian brasswork, basket-work from Pulicat, toys from Ch. rinapatnm, Goa lace, Ivory fans etc. Cf children's clothing there appeared to bean Immense variety and prettily dieased dolls wore to bo seen on every f.aad. Then there are knitted shawls, and hose, cosies, and cushions galore, but (oe ng .iddictod to the soothing weed) our admiration was chiefly attracted ny an exceedingly pretty smoking cap in black velvet embroidered with forget-me-nots in 0 ew'Nwcrk. Then there was a very handsome maroella quilted bed cover in scarlet and white, some first-rate boy’s wheelbarrows, spec mens of really excel leot woikma-.ship In native wood, built by Mr bhearer, af Tinwald, specially for tun B zwr, and all sorts cf other thims which—as auctioneers hills gen rally p .t it—were al ogither too numerous to mention. But we must not om.t to say ihrt there is a very fine Christmas Tree, a handsome larch, the gift of Mr John Origa, Lougbeach, standing at *he upper end of the room and loaded with toys of every kind, while close by is a refresh ment stall whore many appetising things are to be obtained in exchange f->r coin of the isilm. Then all round the room above the stalls it a very interesting series of paintings on calico representing scenes In India, Africa, and Madagascar. k'nMy lent for exhibition by the Rev Mr Gdies of Tunaru, and on the stigr there is a model railway in full operation, tho engine being driven by s'eam rahed hy a fire of methylated spirits. Upstairs, again, th- re is a great attraction In the shape cf the really admirable model of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, kindly lent by M-s Heywood of the railway depsranent Christchurch, and which wi'l be the sub ject of an itv creating descript V i lecture to be glvtn this evet Ing by Mr T. S M«r u«riog The model is trim to acd fa Ihfully reproduces all th‘> details both of the interior and cxtnrhr of the historical original Alto g. tber, the Bazaar is well worth a visit, and we hopt th it the prom-tera will be rewarded for their energy and enterprise by a la'ge attendance of tho public and a brisk demand f r their goods. A view of the ohm oh which it is proposed t.> build ia displayed on one . f the stall, ai d shows a pretty, enmmo dious, but unprententioas edifice, which it is to be hoped wil speedily be put In hand, It remains to be said that the sev ral stalls are under the charge of the following ladies, vz—Mrs Blake, Mrs Ru l her ford *he Misses Houston (2), Mehar y (4).

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WARES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE. LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED. Mr Editor, —While spending a few days at the pleasant seas'de town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabuious story or a marvellous cure The story was that of a poor suflerer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six 1-ng years, given up to die by all doctors, had been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit con fidence from the circumstance, as was said, that the Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with the facts, and could vouch for the truth of the icpoit. Having a little curiosity to know how such stories grow in travelling, 1 took the liberty, while at the village of Llanrystyd to call upon the V car, the Rev. T. Evans, and to enquire about this wondetful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both he and his wile most graciously entertained me in a half hour’s conversation, principally touching the case of Mr Pugh, in which they seemed to take adeep and sympathetic interest, having bem familiar with his sufferings, and now rejoiced in what seemed to them a most vemarl able cure. The V car remarked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from h s having mentioned the case t > Mr John Thomas, a chemist of Llanon. He said Mr Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Lland demol. He strongly vouched Mr William Pugh’s character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a lively sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, fling that he was one who truly symna'hised w th all who are ; fflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystwith, I was im pressed with a desire to see Mr Put»h, whose reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying “abovethe dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lovely ivy-man ted Church of Llanddeinol I found Mr Pugh, apparently about 40 years of age, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. 1 told him I had heard of his great affliction -and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and ’.hat I had come ta leam from his own lips what there was of truth in the reports



Statutory Declaration.—l, Franz Baabe Ironbark, Sandhurst, in the colony of Vic toria, Australia, do solemnly and sincerely declare that on the 25fh June, 1877, my son Alfred, six years of age, was accidentally hurt with an axe on the knee. I at once took all pains to secure medical assistance. However, in spife of all efforts, on the 2,7 th August. 1877, the opinion was given by Dr Macgilli vray than an amputation of the injured limb had become imperative, in order to save life. At this junction I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extract of the Eucalyptus Globulus, and by the applica tion of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my son within a fortnight out of all danger, to-day he is recovered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reached that the Extract referred to was first applied. And 1 make this sblemn declaration, etc.,- Franzßaabe. Declared at Sandhurst, in the cr v, v f .{ Victoria, Australia, this seven teenth day of October, one thousand eight 1 hundred and seventy-BOWO before me, MoriU I Cohn,
