As the Inspector did not press the charge, a nominal fine of 5s was in flicted Maintenance.—John Fogers was charged with neglecting to pay for the maintenance of his children in the Industrial School at Nelson. Sergeant Moller stated that the payments had been kept up for some time from rent of defendant's farm, but the tenant had been in arrears with rent lately. The case was ordered to stand over for a fortnight to see if some arrangement could be made by defendant.

I."r Cuthbertaon appeared for complainant, p 'I asked th&t an order might; be made for ti o destruction of the dog and payment of 1." damages. Defendant h. d "• een applied r- : iwi* payment but had refused. Arthur 1/e, the complainant, in e» "deuce, said h'■ worked at the Canteroury Mills. When passing Welsh's on his way to work he saw the dog, a St Bernard, with Welsh's children. He went to get some eggs from a fence on the road, and when he was going away with them the dog flew at him, tore his clothes and bit him. Welsh refused to make good the damage or des troy the dog. By Mrs Welsh—Did not call the dog and pat him, or tread on his foot. By the P.M.—The dog was generally tied up. Did not know if he was usually dangerous. Dr Hunter said he examined plaintiff for a dog-bite. It was not serious. It had been a narrow escape, and might have become serious. G. Ede, —father of of complainant, went with his son to Welsh and asked him to make good the damage to the boy'a clothes. Welsh refused. Did not know the dog.—Mrs Wekh said the dog was six years old and was genef^y quiet Judgment was given for 29s damages, and costs £112s. ~Civil Casks.—John O'Kane v H Pagefc £4 9s 3d. Mr Cuthbertson for defendant. Plaintiff said the claim was partly for money lent in 1892.

Judgment was given for this amount W. T. Chapman v F. Peter, £3 for half cost of boundary fence. Mr Purnell for defen dant. —W. T. Chapman said he wrote to Mr Peter asking him to put up the fence or pay half cost. Did not send him any notice under the Fencing Act. Proposed a six-wire fence. Mr Peter replied he should prefer a seven-wire fence, and agreeing to pay half the cost on approval of the fence. Mr Peter agreed to have iron strainers. Put up the whole fence. Pub in extra strainers on account of undulations. Mr Peter agreed to this. The fence was put up in May, 1893. Sent the accouat, and Mr Peter wrote saying he could not pasß the fence. Strained the fence after this, and offered to submit the dispute to arbitration. Sold some of his land in March last, and the purchaser was satisfied with, the fence.—By Mr Purnell— Had a conversation with Mr Peter after writing. The fence is not quite in accord ance with what each of them proposed. It was to be sheep proof. NothiDg was laid about Mr Pflter not paying till he passed the fence. The fence was as sheep proof as witness could get it.—Charles McWilliam, I who helped to put up the fence, corroborated Chapman's evidence. The fence was as nearly sheep proof as the rough nature of the ground would admit.—Frank Peter, defendant, was not in favor of Chapman putting up the fence, and would rather have aeen some one else do the work. Seeing, however, that Chapman persisted in his intention of doing the work himse'f, witness consented on the condition that he (witness) would only pay half coal when the fence had been passed by witness. The strainers and standards had been put in in such a way that it was impossible to strain the fence, while the bottom wire was on the ground in places and too far off in others. Had good fences on worse ground. The fence had already cost him money to make good. Had told Chapman he would pay half cost, when the deficiencies of the fence were made pood, and that would coat more than £3.-Thomas Dowling also testified to the fa ts of the fence, as did also John Trethe w.':. —The S.M. said it appeared the fence he not been properly erected, and defend ant lad been put to extra expense, but the p..i'aes, when agreeing on the -'escripkion of j the i'ence, had not allowed for sufficient it ;■■ r.rediates, and defendant objects to pay no«', a* he has had to pay Ilv ex ' a material an labor, but plaintiff should not be charged with the whole of this.
