The Catterthun

Sydney, August 21

The course steered was the usual one going north, "Wfcen he saw the Seal Rocks light it struck him that the steaa»er had been set in by the current, but he had never before noticed it set in so far, la his opinion they overran their distance by two miles after leaving Port fetephens.

The steersman corroborated Mr Lanfear's statement that they were heading out just before she struck. He denied that a boat was cut away to prevent overcrowding. Tt was only cut when the ship was sinking.

Llve Stock Export Trade

Adflaide, August 22 Mr Bradbury, of Sydney, one of the , pioneers of the live stock export trade, , haa returned from a visit to the chief; consuming centres in England with a j view of ascertaining the prospects of ' the trade. In the course of an inter view he said there was a tremendous opening fcr Australian cattle, if those were properly handled and carefully ( shipped. Jj^-e said, the American trade was falling off largely, and Australia should be prepared to (ill the vacancy. The underwriters, he says, are prepared to offer liberal terms for insurance, if assured that proper care is taken in handling and shipping the beasts. They were very sanguine of the future | of the Australian trade, and though j export does not pay now, as things j work intq the proper groove it will j prove a paying concern. The question , is one of such importance, and means ! such an all round developeinent of trade, that it is well worthy of support by colonial Governments. With refer , ence to sheep for the English maikefc,, he strongly recommends Shropshire; crossbred?. The great want of Eng- j lish butchers is nuggctty crossbred j lamb, for which there is unlimited de- j mand The Shropshire cross is well suited for Australia, and is more pro lific than any other cross. They fatten faster, and are fit for export when five months old, Mr Bradbury adds that there is a great opening for the Aus tralian Governments to look to export as a solution of the rabbit question, as London, Liverpool, and Manchester can take all the rabbits Australia can

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr 0. A, VVray, S.M )

' maintenance —John O'Kane, on the information of his wife, Annie O'Kane was charged with neglecting to obey an order of the Court to contribute lOcj per week to the support of his family. The arrears amounted to £11.—Mr Cuthbertson, for accused, said the man had not earned that mush, but was willing to pay £5 at once if rime was allowed for the balance.—The S. M. thought accused was doing all ho eonld to evade payment, but if the^£s was paid ha would let the case stand over for a fortnight, to see if the parties could nuke it up and agree to live together.

civil cases. — Donald Cameron v Thomas Nolan, £30 for money lent and interest. Mr Wilding for plaintiff, Mr Cuthbertson for defendant. -- Thomas Nolan, defendant, said he worked at intervals for plainfiff from 1892 to 1895 at mustering and other work. Was to have ! £2 per week. Nothing was over said about any reduction on this rate Left finally on February 3, 3895. Cameron asked him to render his account, knowing separate time for mustering. Did so, and also supplied defendant with chaff, and lot him a paddock. The amount of the account rendered was £47 6s 3d. Cameron offered to pay £17 less than this sum, saying it was wrong. He disputed £3 for the pad dock and £1 per week for fourteen week's w>rk. Declined to accept the offer. Got £30 from Cameron in January, 1894 There was then £25 due to him for wages. Cameron was manager for the Company, who should pay the wages. Cameron advanced the £30 because he had not not the Company's chepue. Settled up .six months later, and Cameron agreed to louvd lh«» £30 as a loan, and did so.—By Mr Wilding -- Believed Cameron wa-> managing for Miles and Co. Had orders on them for wagos previously. When Miles and Co, failed, had orders on the Union Bink, Did not know why Came? on wanted 'he mustering time separate, Understood it was on ace >unt t,f the failure of the firm. .Veafc in the ace mat pro duced Cameron was not ailed ed whether plaintiff got £i or £2 per week ; he was oniy manager. The chalf was used for the station horses. The theep put in pV.n tiffa paddock were stragglers, belonging to different people, tSaw tome of the sheep taken away ; did not ask the owners to pay. Cameron said he would see him paid—By Mr Outhbertson—Cameron gave plaintiff cheques on Mil's and Co. sign id by himself. When away had paid a man in his own place 7d per day.—Joint Moore said he worked for Cameron at same time aa Nolan in 1893-4. Was getting £2 5a per week. Was not mustering all the all the time. Latterly had £2 10d for mustering. Heard Cameron say he would see Nolan paid for the paddeck, but he was to try and get it from the sheep owners first. Nolan was mustering last May.—By Mr Wilding -Was mustering off and on, and doing odd work between. Did not work on the station as ;*n ordinary laborer. Nolan did the same work as him self. Michael Carney—Had been paid £2 100 per week mustering for Cameron, and down to £2 for other woik. Cameron raenti >ned that there was about £40 due to Nolan, just after Miles and Co. failed. Mr Wilding submitted that defendant's couirer claim wa^ against the wrong person, It was an ungracious defence to take; but if the B nch held with him, and granted a nonsuit, he had no doubt the Union BanK would pay what was due, Mr Caraeroa waa over charged for some of the time.—His Worship said ho would reserve the nonsuit point —Mr Cuthbort son contended that Mr Cameron had rendered himself liable by signing the orders, as he would have had to pay if the Bank hai gone wrong.—Donald Cameron, plain!ifl, said he was manager of Winters low, Engaged the hands, and paid the wages by orders on Miles and Co.; never by his own cheque. The. £30 was v private loan, and the cheque wai drawn on his own account. Paid higher wages to mosterers than others, or for ahort engagements, Nolan did no mustering at times. He was paid £\ per week for other work. The carpenter ho assisted had £1 10s per week. Nol*n w»vS not mustering all the time he was paid £2 per week, he would do odd jabs between. Engaged Nolan at £1 per week for the winter, and £1 10s for mustering at Mount Possession. By Mr Cuthbertaon —Nolan was six months at a time at Mount Possession. He worked at in tervals at Winterslow. Expected to pay

10d per day for snow work Did not think Nolan worked more than one day snow raking. Was paying Nolan £2 per week when he left. Did not say anything about reduction till settling up, By the S.M.—Had paid Nolan ac the rate of £1 per week for part of his time at Winters low Paid hiiu £1 per week for bush clearing- By Mr Wilding—lN ever paid any man £2 per week for winter work. By the S.M.—Moore was an old hand who knew the country well, and had 'morefwages. Nolan was not mustering iv June.—The S.M. said he should like to have seen tne station books, aa plain , tiffs evidence wa3 rather vagae. Judg. ment was given for plaintiff fGr the amount claimed,
