DISTRICT COURT

ASHBURTON -TUESDA\.

(Before His Honor Judge Wnrd.) HeNKY ZJINBER Y.ROBERT MaCIJNTYRE. In thiai casef the plaintiff claimed the ■urn ot £07, damages sustained by plain tiff through defendant's horse backing the trap it was harnessed to through plaintiff's shop window, smashing the large window pane, a,nd destroying thesjoods displayed. Mfcf 1 Puriiell appeared for plantiff, and Mr Wilding for defendant. Henry Zander, the plaintiff,, said that on Ist October last, defendant came to his shop, accompanied by his wife. Macintyre left his horse and trap m charge of Mrs Macintyre on the street m front of the ■hop. Macint-yre went to the cellar to sample some wines, and while he was doing so plaintiff sent but a yeung man to take charge of the horse, bo that Mrs Macintyre might be able to come-into the store while plaintiff and defendant; were m the cellar. They heard Mrs Macintyre scream at the top of her voice, and a crash followed. On going to see what was the matter, they saw that the horse had backed the trap through, a plate glass window 12ft x 7ft, and had smashed a quantity of crockery and glass ware. Mrs Macintyre remarked that she had always been afraid some accident would happen through that horse. At the back of the store there was a yard into which it was usual for customers to put their horses, and defendant had used this yard on a previous occasion. Macin tyre jhad not warned plaintiff that the horse required special care. A lad named Smith had been sent out to look after the horse. The value of the pane broken was between £35 and £40, and it could not be replaced m the colony. The glass and china, broken was worth about £23. By Mr Wilding: Had often seen de fendant driving the horse, and remarked that it was restless. Mrs Macintyre was at first left m charge of the trap, but she afterwards came into the shop. The lad sent out Was competent to hold a horse. W. J. Smith, the lad sent out to look after the horse said Macintyre told him to be, careful with the horse, as he was a bit playful, and might nip his hand. He held the horse while Mrs Macintyre went iiito the shop. The horse became restless, and taught him by the hand. Another horse and trap-was driven past, and Macintyre's horso became more restive, and backed on to the pavement and thrinlgh the plate glass window. As the horse backed, Mrs Macintyre screamed out. By Mr Wilding: Mr David Zander told him to go nut and hold the horse. He did not hit the Horse on the nose, but held onto the reins as the horse backed. David Zander said the boy was sent out at the request of Macintyre. Mrs Macintyre did not «ay the horse required special care. The animal became restive when Mrs Macintyre began to scream. Mrs Macintyre had been m the shop about ten minutes before the accident occurred. William Rouse, another lad, said he Baw the horso trying to bite Smith before the accident. George Meddings mainly corroborated previous witnesses as to the details of the accident, and estimated the damage to fltbekat £26 11s 3d—at retail price. One of the tea sets was valued at £310s ; there were forty pieces m it, a number of which were broken. Henry Zander, re-called, said the cost to him would be 25 per cent less than the retail price. Hugo Friedlander said his oflice was m the same building as that of Henry Zander! He was called out after the window was smashed,and saw standing on the pavement Mr and Mrs Macintyre and Mr Zander, Asked how it happened, and Mr Zander said that Mr Macintyre's horse, whick was standing just m front, had backed into it. Mrs "Macintyre said she would never; come to town with that home again ; that she had told her husband that sooner or later he would get into trouble with the horse. After the hearing of other evidence a verdict was given for defendant, with costs.

ALFORD STATION

The following is the Meteorological Re port for the week ending November 16th, 1890 :—

THE ELECTIONS.

Mr Vaile has decided to come forward for the Te Aroha seat. Mr Calder has retired, as a candidate for the Dunedin suburbs, m favor of Mr Ross. The Hon. W. Rolleston addressed the Halswell electors m the'JL'ai Tapu school room on Saturday evening. .Mr W. M'Cardell, who was announced for Masterton, has withdrawn from the contest m favor of Mr A. W. Hogg. The Minister for Landa addressed the Mataura electors on Saturday night, re ceiving,a vote of thanks and confidence. He gives his address-in-chief on Thursday. Mr J. M. Dargaville, who will contest the Bay of Islands seat, has addressed meetings at Tekopuru and Aratapu. He opposed the Atkinson Government, and said he was m favor of a Land tax, while lie advocated retrenchment by amalgama tion of departments. Mr .1. T. Smith addressed a well, attended meeting at the Oddfellows' Hall- Christchurch, last night. He supported the Atkinson's manifesto, and was m favor of perpetual leases and village settlements m suitable localities. He strongly sup- Jiorted the present education system, and ocal option without compensation. He received a vote of thanks and confidence by a large majority. Mr G. G. Stead addressed a large meeting at Papanui, Avon district. He objected to a land tax, was strongly m j favor of encouraging immigration, but not'; of spending Government money m bring- { ing oub immigrants. The bush lands in' the North Island should be settled, and settlers help by being employed by Government to clear a portion of their selections. He opposed altering the education system, but thought it should ■ be economically administered. He ad vocated co-operation as the best solution of the labor difficulty. He did not al togefcher agree with the present Govern ment, but would oppose Mr Ballance. He received a vote of thanks. Mr S. F, Smithson, solicitor, addressed a large meeting of electors as a candidate' for Timaru last evening. He said nothing about Parties. He upheld the Property tax, and condemned all progressive taxa tion, except succession duties, And would increase these. He declares himself a Freetrader as to lands, and opposed all forms of confiscation of private estates. He spoke against the Private Schools Bill, but m favour of Bible-reading and capitation to Catholics. Parliament should riot interfere between labor and capital; He was well received, and was accorded a vote of thanks. Mr William Barron, late M.H.R. for Caversham, who is a candidate for Taieri, tfttresged the electors at Gmn Island

lafit-niqht, and received a vote of thanks. He declared himself aLiberal Independent. Dealing with the labour question, he said Parliament could and should do but little, save to keep a clear field and show no favour. He regarded it as quite an ephemeral question. He maintained that the Premier was the most socialistic politician m the Colony. In the ranks of the Opposition were some of the strongest Conservatives ; and one of the most Liberal and the most; Radical statesman m the Colony, albeit eminently practical, Was Sir F. Whjtaker, who was sienerally regarded as a pronounced type of Tory. Sir John Hall addressed the electors of Leeston last night. There was a very large attendance. He said the Financial Statement wan short, but the results ex hibited as to the financial st-ite of the country were very satisfactory. Con cerning borrowing he said it was folly to assert that New Zealand should not, under any circumstances, at any time borrow again. He thought we .might keep out of, the London money market for three years. Referring to the Hutchison charges, he swd there was no jus'iftcation for saying that the interests of the colony were sacrificed to those of the Bank of New Zealand. He denied the accusations that the Minister of Lands had shown no sympathy with land settlement, but had done all a man could do. He scouted the proposal to confiscate estates, and dis approved of the nationalisation of the land. It might be advisable to purchase small estates, but every safeguard possible must be used, and full publicity given. He looked upon a single tax* as absurd, and a land and income tax as inquisitorial ; a graduated tax as as "inequality" rather than "equality of sacrifice." He would accept the principle of Federation, butto be governed from a place 1200 miles away was too dear a price to pay for any advantages to be obtained. He should have small par tiality for a paid defence force, and thought a trained volunteer force could hive bee* obtained for less cost than that incurred by the late Government. He would resist any increase of Customs duties. Reformation was needed m the constitution of the Legislative Council. He deplored the differences that had arisen over the labor difficulty, and trusted no chronic hostility would exist between labor and capital. He approved of the Government affording facilities for arbitration. He concluded by contrasting the financial position before Sir H. Atkin son became Premier, with the position of the finances would be m when the new Parliament assembled. If the Premier's health allowed him to resume the Leader ship, he (Sir J. Hall) would support him. A vote of thanks and confidence was passed.
