MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY. [Before C. A. Wray Esq., R.M.] Following is the conclusion of our . report of yesterday's sitting : — A DOG CAKE. . . R. M. Smith v Jean Moison, £10. This was a claim for compensation on the part, of plaintiff against defendant for the loss of certain greyhounds that had been poisoned on the 18th April by defendant. ' Mr Wilding for plaintiff, Mr Crisp for 1 defendant.- R. M. Smith, in evidence, said that on the 18th April he had two greyhounds, worth £5 each, poisoned. They were . four months old, and obtained the poison , from a baking tin on Moison's section. They were pedigree dogs. "In regard to a cross-action raised by Moison i .for' damage done by trespass of witness's animals upon Moison's" pro perty, witness had been served with a' claim for £3 10s. Had offered to refer this claim to arbitration, which had been done, but no damage had been discovered. • Moison had been fined in the Police Court for laying the poison. 1 By Mr Crisp—Greyhounds ■ did not always hunt by sight. Sometimes they t ran by scent. Had himself planted the ■ ' White % thorn hedge that separated his section from Moison's. , Anthony Lee, gave evidence as to the value of the dogs, which he set down at £5 each. , , , , T Arthur Millechamp, gardener, had been arbitrator for Smith in the question of damages to Moison's trees. Estimated the damages done to the trees at 4s 6d. • : Only looked at the. trees. F. Mayo had been arbitrator for Mr • Mbison. Saw-three or four trees that had been damaged, but the damage was so trivial that he had awarded nothing. Could not,say,how the damage had been done. ' The cross action—Moison v Smith, £10-T-was for damage done by Smith's animals oh Moison's section. Jean Moison' said Smith had sheep, horses, dogs, cows, fowls, and pigeons. Had driven the sheep out of his garden , often, and the poultry were a nuisance to '; him., Had intended to use poisoned wheat, but had been advised to use sops instead. Gave notice to Smith that he " would lay poison. The dogs were the 1 rery picture of weakness and misery and could scarcely walk without falling. James Nicholas had lived at Moison's for 18 months. There were two half starved looking puppies belonging to Smith that were ravenous for food. They .looked better dead than alive. There were sheep and poultry always trespassing. By Mr Wilding: Had never owned a -dog, and was not aware that a well-bred greyhound was naturally thin. '' l After counsel had shortly addressed the Bench,, the Court found that although Moison had been guilty of an illegal act, there had been contributory negligence on the part of Smith, who should have kept his dogs off his neighbor's premises. Ten shillings per dog would be awarded' with costs,, and the cross-action would be dismissed. Mr Wilding asked leave to appeal, but the Magistrate declined to countenance any further litigation in such a neighbors' quarrel.

BISHOP JULIUS' VISIT.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I see that that whole-hearted, liberal-minded Bishop of the Church of England (Bishop Julius), who has else where drawn large crowds of people to hear him, is to address a public meeting in Ashburton to-morrow evening. Are the church folk so selfish that they wish to have him all to themselves and not to allow outsiders a share of the benefit 9 * If not, why hold the meeting in the schoolroom, which will at most hold 350, while from 500 to 600 could be accommo dated in the Oddfellows Hall ? Is it the question of cost that stands in the way ? If so, I am quite willing to contribute my mite, and so I am sure are many more. It is not too late even yet ta remedy a great blunder.—l am, etc., A Would-be Hearer.

Football Casualties.

• —♦ [PEE PKESB ASSOCIATION.] Auckland, May 16. Several serious football accidents have happened at Auckland this season. Two players have had their collar-bones broken, one an arm, and one a leg. This morning a player named Denis Conroy died from, the effects of an injury received a fort night ago. He was a member of the Grafton Club, and the sole support of his mother.

Labor Legislation.

♦ [PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wbllington, May 16. The members of the Maritime Council waited on the Premier this morning with reference to amendments of several statutes relating to labor. They suggested that the period of notice of action under the Employers Liability Act shall be increased to three months, and that the limit of time within which an action can be commenced, be fixed uniformly at 12 months. The deputation also urged that seamen shall be clearly brought within the scope of the Act. The Premier expressed himself as in favor of the suggestions, especially the last one. At present only three years wages are allowed as compensation to the relatives of workmen killed, but the depu tation asked that the question of settling the amount of compensation be left to the jurisdiction of the Court. The deputa tion thought the Seamen's Act should be amended, so that any sailor put ashore on account of illness should be entitled to pay for the full period of discharge, pro viding the time prior to recovery docs not exceed three months. They also sug gested that seamen should be allowed to elect a special representative for Parlia ment, and that special facilities should be given them for recording their votes. In connection with this matter the Premier pointed out the difficulty of giving representation to any particular body. He expressed himself in favor of the Eight Hours Bill, provided it did not interfere with necessary work in which longer hours are essential. Mr Ancell remarked on the "truck system," which he said was very prevalent on the West Coast. The Premier promised to assist a Bill dealing with this question, and said he would probably bring it in.

THE Special Advantages offered by this Society are—lst, a large invested fund; 2nd, the funeral donation being reassured by the National Division ; 3rd, a liberal relief during sickness, with choice of any doctor within the district for members and their families, and as large funeral donation as is I consistent with safety. The Grand Division has established a Central Sick Fund, which secures uni formity of fees and benefits throughout New Zealand ; allows members to move from one division to another without any increase of contributions, and affords absolute security to small or weak divisions, Bknefit for Male Members :—First six months' sickness, 20s per week; second six months, 13s ; afterwards, 10s; death of a member, £30; death of a member's wife, £10. Half the above benefits are received by female members. Honorary Members of both sexes shall be entitled to the services of the physician and apothecary, providing they pass a: satis factory medical examination, and recoup to the Division the amount of fees payable by it to those officers on their account. ' The pledge originally adopted has remained unchanged until the present time, and by it all forms of intoxicating drinks are proscribed. The position the Sons and Daughters of Temperance occupy is a standing testimony of the value of Total Abstinence principles, and compares favorably with any. other Friendly (society ; the sickness rate showing one-third less than that of other Societies not based on total abstinence principles; the death rate being only six per thousand in the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, as against nine per thousand, the yearly average death rate of other Societies. ' This Order should command the support and attention of all earnest temperance workers, as it gives uncontrovertible testi mony of the value of total abstinence to the health of the body; exerts a decided in fluence on public opinion, and provides an opportunity for total abstainers to make provision for themselves in case of sickness, accident, or death. ] The Lodge meets MONDAY, 12th May, and each alternate Monday, at the Templar Hall, Ashburton, at 8 p.m. ' , Every Total Abstainer Suodld Join.
