Mr Seddon read the reply from the Com missioners to the effect that it was im practicable and would not pay. The Minister taid the reply was almost inso lent. Several speakers abused the Com missioners. Mr Fish defended, but was jeered at by Mr Earnsha#, and Mr W. P. Keeves for his change of front, he having been once a bitten enemy of the Commissioners.

SECOND EDITION MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON-THURSDAY. (Before Mr C. A. Wray R.M.) CivilCasbs—Flora Black v Andrew Ore, £19 17« 3d. For plaintiff, Mr Poatlethwaite; for defendant, Mr PurneH- This was a claim made by plaintiff for £10 damages for wrongful distraint, and £10 7s 3d alleged to be owing by de fendant to plaintiff. The case arose out of a tenancy by plaintiff, as represented fey her husband, of a shop m Bast Street of which plaintiff held a lease from Mr John Orr, the landlord. The evidence for plaintiff was to the effect that Andrew Black, watchmaker, had been burned out of a shop m East Street, and subsequently became bankrupt. He said that Mr Andrew Orr came to him about taking the shop, of which he held a lease from John Orr, and which H. Bairstow, cabinetmaker was then the tenant. Bair stow was paying only £1 * week rent Orr suggested to Black that ho should see Bairstow and offer him £5 to remove m favour of Black. This Black did, but Bairstow declined to remove. Eventually Bairstow received notice to quit. The ■hop was ultimately taken by Black at £2 a week, and Black's evidence was to the effect that Orr had undertaken to pay for a partition that Baifstow had bejn employed to erect~£6 ss--and for tb# putting m of a pane m the shop window —£4 15s. Plaint'ff had paid one instal ment of thesrert, and on finding that plaintiff was charging these ttfo items as alleged to have been agreed upon, defendant distrained,and plait tfff satisfied the bailiff's claim under protest. Plain tiff had been twelve months m the shop, and had given defendant notice to quit. The amount paid to the bailiff was £16 17s, and plaintiff, now claimed £10, damages fcr wrongful distraint, and £10 | 7s 3d contra account. The defendant denied that any arrangement had been entered into to bear the cost of either the pane of glass er the partition, and the honoring of an order given by plaintiff upon defendant m favor of Bairstow for Work done on the partition was only an arrangement, agreed to by Black, to facilitate a squaring up of accounts between Orr and Bairstow, the under standing bring that Black would refund the money. Distraint had taken place m consequence of Black not paying. A contra for goods wpplied was recognised and allowed for. Evidence for plaintiff «»s given by A. Black, H, Bairstow, and R. Dorm, and fox defendant by A, Urr, John Orr, A. P. Williamson, W. Spence, and R. M. Cuthbertson. Counsel fnr defendant argued that the case was merely one of accounts, and that no damage had been sustained. Counsel for plaintiff raised the legal point that a lapse of 21 days was necessary before dis troint took place. His Worship reserved judgment. The following cases were un •defended-R. Patton, v B. Ede jun. £$ lls 6d'; Drug Company v Smith. £17» 6d » Same v Moriarty, £117 a6d ; Same v McKee. £1 Is 6d.
