ASHBURTON-THURSDAY.

(Before Mr C. A. Wray, R.M.) Police Cases. — Martin McPhersqn, alias John .lones, was found guilty of drunkenness on the railway Station, Ash burton, and fined 20s and cosis. Nicholas Smith was charged with using insulting language at the Ashburton raceccurse and was fined 20s. William Heenan for in decent language on the Ashburton race course was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and for resisting the police, three months ad ditional. Civil ■ Cases. —Charles Braddell v H. Ward, 30s ; Reid and Gray v John Brick, £2 7s ; Mitchell and Turner v Edward M'Kee, £2 17s 3d.-judgment m each case for plaintiff by default. John Gough v S Mullins.—claim for damage done by sheep to growing crop. Mr Wilding for plaintiff, and Mr Fu nell for defendant. John Gough said he was a farmer and occupied a paddock of sixty acres wheat and another of twelve acres* wheat and oats on the Laghmor road. Defendant occupied a section adjoining on which he grazed sheep. In January last defendantV sheep got all over plaintiffs crop and trampled it down. Before the trespass the crop would have gone ten bushels to the acre, and probably an eighth of the whole crop was destroyed by the sheep. After the crop was reaped, saw defendant aboub the damage, who got angry about anything being asked for by plaintiff, and said the sheep could not do any damage to a light crop, and were not partial to trheat. Offered terms of settlement to defendant but he had not replied. By Mr Pumell—Lived at Dromore, and only saw the crop occasionally. McLean's land was on two sides of witness's land, and a public road bounded a third side. On one side the fence was a post and wire, through which sheep could easily have made their way. There were other open ings m the fences. On a point of law m regard to plaintiffs responsibility for his ■fences Mr Wilding took a noii'suit to state a case for appeal. William Home v> A. M. Pearson claim £8 9s 9d. For plaintiff, Mr Purnell; for defendant, Mr Wilding. William Home said that last October he lent a sum of money to Gideon Scott, farmer, Chertsey, taking a bill of sale over certain farming stock, but not over all his property. In March last foreclosed, and with Scott's consent arranged (or a sale on April 6. Mr Bhnd was auctioneer. On Saturday, the 4th April sent out a man to Scott's place, and went out himself on the Sundaj. Found Wildsmith, a sub-bailiff of the Court, there, who showed him an inventory of goods out&ide the bill of sale of three times the amount of his warrant. Wild smith made it perfectly clear to witness that there was to be nc interference with witness's claim. At half-past twelve on the 6th there were about two hundred people present to attend the sale. Pearson came on the ground before the sals began and asked if witness had a bill of sale. Handed the document to him, and he said he wanted to see the registered bill of sale. Could of course only show him the original, and explained this to him. He said he would stop the sale unless the amount »f this warrant were paid to him. The warrant was for a judgement obtained by Mr David Thomas, the amount was paid to Pearson under protest, and witness warned him not to parr with the money By Mr Wilding—Prepared the bill if sale him self, and Mr Duncan witnessed ib. Did not consult with Gideon Scott about the payment of the warrant, but knew he Would not pay if-, as he had other creditors besides Mr Thomas. J. R. Bland, auctioneer, heard the conversation be tween Home and Peirson. Heard Pears mi say he would stop the sale unless the amount of the warrant he held were paid to him. Home paid it under pro test, telling Pearson that he got the money simply as trust money to be held until a judgment of the court should be obtained. Gideon Scott, farmer, Ohertsey, said that Mr Home's man was m pos session on the 4th before W ildsmith, re presenting Mr Thomas came up. De clined to let Wildsmith sell the goods, ap witness meant to file his schedule, and did not want Mr Thomas to have any advantage over the other creditors. J. R. Colyer, Clerk of Court, said the case of Thomas v. Scott was heard on the 4th April. A warrant for immediate execution was issued and re turned on the 6th April. For tlw defence. A. M. Pearson bailiff, said that he sent Wildsmith down to Scott's farm on Saturday, 4th April* to seize m satisfac tion of a warrant at the instance of Mr David Thomas. On Monday, the 6th, witness himself went to the farm. There was to be a sale, and witness asked Home if he had a bill of sale. He said he had, and showed witness a document frhflt was not registered. Declined to receive the docnment, but said he would leave the place if his warrant were siiis fied. Mr Home offered to pay £20 as security, but witness declined, and took a cheque instead. Made no threat to stop the sale. His Worship reserved his decision.
