A fine of 6d a head on fifry sheep was inflicted. Civil Cases.—W. E. Dolman, captain of the Ashburton Rifle Corps, sued W. A. Pearson, a member of the corps for £2, amount of capitation lost to the Company by defendant's non attendance at the Government parades of his corps. Captain Dolman said defendant had had twenty-five opportunities to puu m eighteen parades, but had only put m thirteen. He had also been fined for non-attendance. Sergeant Dee, secretary of the Company, denied having promised to get Pearson leave of absence. He pro duced the muster roll for the year, showing that during February, -March, April, May, and November defendant had attended no inspection parades. Defen dant's father said he had always given either Dee or the Captain notice that his son would be absent at the parades ; his son was working at the Tinwald flax mill. The Captain said he had received na such notice until after notice of fine for absence had been sent. Judgment was given for the amount claimed and costs. Neglected Children. —Two children, a boy and a girl named Pender, were prosecuted by Duncan Cameron of Springfield, for the theft of a quantity of turnips, his property, and valued at. 2s. The charge was brought by Mr Cameron with the object of having the children put under proper charge, as they were wholly neglected, and lived m a house by themselves for the greater part of the year. Their mother was dead, and their father wa3 nob attentive to them, being compelled to be away often. The children were m almost a wild state, and the language they made use of at times was most obscene. James Kelly gave corro borative evidence. Sergeant Moller said that during the recent race meeting the father had been m Ashburton on the spree. His Worship ordered the children to be sent to Burnliam School till they were fifteen years of age. The girl was fourteen years old, and the boy eleven. An order was made on the father who was m Court, to pay 5a a week each for the support of the children, who were to be brought.up m the Presbyterian faith. Civil Cases.—Grace v Mahoney, £28 3a 4d ; and Mahoney v, £310s sd. In the latter case defendant consented to a verdict, but pressed the claim m the former case. Mr Wilding appeared for Grace, and Mr Cuthbertson for Mahoney. P. Grace, contractor. Winslow, said that Mahoney lived at Willcwby m 1889, and witness did ploughing for him, charging 3s 6d a day and found. Did twenty chains of pipe draining at 5s per day, and forty-six chains of gorse cutting at Is 3d per chain, besides other work. There was an item m the account of fifteen months' work ot his two daughters at defendant's house —four shillings per week ; and another item for washing done extending over eleven monlhs, Witness also gave evidence as toother items m the account. James Mcßohan, a neighbor, knew that Grace and the children were working for Mahoney a good deal. Had carried a message from Mahoney to Grace about the engagement of one of the latter's daughters as a servant. Grace said he would not let her go without wages, but could not say what rate she was engaged at. Msggie Grace was for four months m M-ihonev's c n [>loy as head nurse, honsemai 1, and shepherd (laughter), and later on took up the milking. Her sister Mary suc ceeded her at Mahoney's. The wages* were to be 4s a week, and an extra Is when she took up the milking. Had got some clothes bub no wages Helen Grace, eldest daughter of plaintiff, was now at home looking aflev the younsjer children. Did thirty days' washing for Mahoney's house at 2s 6d a day, and had not been paid for it. Had got some clothes from Mrs 1 Mahoney.

FIRE BRIGADE AND COUNCIL.

TO THE EDITOR, Sir, —Mr Quane when cornered has very little evidence to support hie thought that I was the means to cause the dis bandraent of the old Brisrede. For Mr Quane's information I will mention a fact m oonnsctjon with that disbandment. At the la3C conference between the old Brigade and a Committee of the Council Mr Caygill and I were m favor of going on m the terms proposed by the Council, and tried our best to persuade the other Corv>mittemen to agree but without suscess. In support of this I can refer Mr Quane to Messrs J. A. Caygill, < W. E. IJolman, Petgr Walker, and (I think) E. Wilmshurst. As ba haying th,e Bri gade by |the wool : at the meeting I at tended m the interest of peace, and at which I was accorded a unanimous vote of thanks m spite of Mr Quane and his awkward question. Mr Quane asked me | if I had said to anyone " Now I have the Brigade by the wool" or words to that effect. In answer I said " I could not re member using those words," but was not certain that I had not used a similar ex pression to a member of the Council. Now Mr Qu^ne comes out with a revised and extended version, namely, to quote his words " On leaving a Council meeting he meeting one of our men should make the remark now I have the Brigade by wool." This is what I deny. I met no fireman on leaving a meeting, and I made no such remark to any member of the Brigade and hsd Mr Quane put his ques tion m the above form he would have re ceived as emphatic a denial as I now give it. - I am, etc., J. Kbir.
