MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBUKTON—THURSDAY. (Before Mr H S. Wardall, S.M ) The following concludes our report: — The Phot« graphs Case.-—"W. H Si Clitir 7 James Brow n and another ; £5 10s for photographs delivered. Mr Cuthbert flon for plaintiff, Mr Purnell for defendant. The uaso wum hsaid c forti.igbx bg •, when plaintiff waa nun-suited. W. H. St Clair, plaintiff, said that in Oct-obur last j he called ac Air Brown's and saw Miss Brown, who asked him to wait till h?r father c&une. Showed Mr Brown his samples. He agreed to have Mrs Brown's photograph enlarged, and said his own might"as well be done too. Miss Brown gare plaintiff the two originals, and the price was n>xned in defendant's presence Took away the origin-da, made enlarged copits, and took them to Mr Brown in J nuary, who .^aid he liked his own very much, but did not care so much for Mrs Browns' He called another daughter in on this occasit n, and asked her if she saw anything wronp with her mother's photo, and she thought there was some differerce in the hair. Left all the phoros afc Browp'e Brown aaked h>w much th*y were ; told him £5 10 Brown an* he thought the price was £5, and said he would do nothing till his other daughter came home in about a month. Showed Brown a memo on which he plaintiff had written Miss Brown's name at the time the order waa given. Brown then said he would not pay for either, and would take care his daughter did not. Brown said it would be a lesson to plaintiff to get his orders signed in future. Examined by Mr Purnell —Brown went out of the room after telling his daughter to get ho h photos. Lived in Mew Zeal nid. Showed the Browns samples of the work. Miss Brown was to accept truo copies nf the photos. She was noh to be the judge. If plaintiff considered tluy were tiue copies Misß Brown had to take them. Would have made changes if they had been suggested, The photos were to bs equal to samples shown. Brcwn did not say that his daughter was to have the right to refuse the photos if she did not like them. Had high words with Brown at the last interview, who obj .cted to the pictures being left. The bill producad is one he (plaintiff) rendered. Miss Brown wrote declining the photos. Never made »ny claim on Brown for payment before issuing the summons. Examined by Mr Cuthbertscn —Mrs Brown's photo was reversed by Miss Brown's instruction a.id printed from the back of the orginal. Charged usual prices. Mr Cuthbertaon asked that ths photos be produced. Notice had been served on Brown, who now said they were not in his possession Mr Purnell contended Brown was not liable. Mr Cuthberteon said Brown was present when the bargain was nude. -Mr Purnell contended thaf. under the Book Agents Act plaintiff must bo non suited.—The S.M said the point did not strike him as applicable in thn caso, which involved woik to be done. Mr Purnoll said he wuul* rely on ih ; rnp.rits ofihe case. Miss Brown's approval was nee wary for the acceptar.ee ci the w<>rk, and Mr Brown was ii no way liable. Mr Purnell called J^mes Brown, who said h* went into his house and found plaintiff trying !o persuade his daughter t« have the photos thken. Positively refused to ltt plaintiff t*ke Mrs B.ownV ; but at last allowed him to take it for enlarge ment, on the understanding he was rot to accept them unless satisfied with them It waß a speculation on p'.aintiff'd part. and he took the risk Heard nothing about reversing the portrait If approved any of his (defendant) family could take them. About three monthi after, plain tiff come back with the pictured. Told him Mrs Brown's picture was not the least like her. His own was not very good Said his daughter would be back in a month and she could see them Plaintiff went off, leaving the pictures in his hands. Defendant left them out? side on the verandah, Met plaintiff some time after, and told him Mies Brown wa^ not at homa, and did not think she would take the pictures, aa her mother's was too bad Pnmised to ask his daughter to write to plaintiff as to whether she would talc* Lhe pictures. Did so.—Cross examined by Mr Cu'hWtaon —His daughter was to be judge of the work, and had the right to reject the pictures, what ever they were like. Would not have been surprised if he had never seen plaintiff again after he let the pictures. Did not consider the enlargements good. They were under his y randah when he left home. Drove up in a bugay, and put the buggy up near the Coari house. Did not leave them behind after receiving notice to produce them because they were good copies, and he was afraid to show them;— The S.M said be should h»ve to take notice of this later. Defendant should h-»ve'brought the photos with him —Margaret Brown said she gave no instructions to have the picture reversed, She also generally corroborated the evi dence of last witness. Wrote the letter produced to St Chir. Was not satisfied with the photos, wlr.ch were nothing like the samples. Would have taken the photos if t^e P"co could have been arranged, plaintiff told her what he was taking similar photos for. He did not Bay what he wpuld charge her. Cro*s eiamined by Mr Cuthberts n— St Clair saw her first. May have handed St Clair her mothti's photo, but not her father's. He had it when her fa-her consented to Ivis being enlarged. Nothing was said about the frames. Was entitled to decline thejpictures if they had been pi rfecb, if she did nor; approve of them. Wou'd. have had io tak* them if she considered them gDod.—Annie Brown sad she did not consider her mother's photo good. The face was twisted. Her father's photo was not eood. Cross-examined by Mr Cuthbertson-—H*d seen the photos in the front rooms. After a deal of fencing witness admitted tl.at her fvther carried the photos into the verandah that morn* ing The S,M. said he did not like the tone of the evider.ee for the defence. It waß not candid or satisfactory. On the other hand he d"d not like the memoran dum of the transac ion. It certainly did hob purport to bear Miss Brown's signature but Jm name as MiW'M. TSrown was wrlttep by 'p'aintiff at) the foot of an agreement. One of the photos did net app> a'f to have been as good as the other. He would give jndgment for £4 and costs £2 $4 against Miss Brown j

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr Dj,vid Thomas reports upon the live stock market for the week ending June 20. as follows :—On Tuesday at the Tinwaki yards, the eutry was not large, only 291£ sheepi 15 head of cattle, and 32 piga carat forward. The sales this month have Leeu small, and fatmera and graziers are now, and have been, on the look out for good turnip sheep that will fatten off quickly. This has caused a vast improvement in this class of stock. Lambs have taken a decided jump within the last month, especially in good quality, and priced now obtained are fully two shillings in advance of last month's quotations. Crossbred ewes, two, four an 3 six- tooth, in iamb, are not plentiful, and some very good sales have been made. Like lamb, they have improved in value. In the butchers' pens only fourteen pens were monopolised, and that of good quality. Merino ewes realised from 6s lid 10 7s 4d, crossbred 7s 10d, 9a 8d to 10a 2d. Of the total entry I cleared 1299 sheep, 10 head of j cattle aud 22 pigs at the following prices : ~ Sheep—B2 crossbred ewes 9a, 36 merino ewes I 6t, 82 crossbred ewes 9* Bd, 36 merino ewes 63 lid, 14 two-tooth ewes and wethers 11s, 50 fat merino ewes 5s 7d, 40 merino ewes 3s Bd, 25 two-tooth crossbred wethers 7s lOd, 23 crossbred ewes 2s 3d, 2 lambs 4a, 21 fat merino ewes 7s 41, 13 crossbred ewes 3s Id, 2 rams 3-t, 2 lambs ss, 68 merino ewes in lamb 2d 3d, 20 crossbred lambs 6s 4d. 70 halfbred ewes in lambs 7s Id, 30 six-tooth crossbred ewes in lamb 9s, 127 four, six and eight-tooth crossbred ewes in lamb 5t sd, 88 two-tooth crossbreda 10s Id, 74 fab two-tooth ewes and wethers 11s 4d, 200 three-quarter bred lambs 7s Bd. Cittle—2 fat cattle £3, 1 springer £4 15a, 1 springer £5 ss, 1 springer £5 15s, 1 cow £3. 1 yearling £1 10s, 1 yearliug 153. Pigs—'o baconers £1 Is, 8 slips 23 9.1, 4 baooners £1 3s.—At the Arcade, my sales of horses, implements, furniture and sundries have taken place as usual. There is a slight improvement in horses, especially in good upstanding draughts, for which I have several inquiries. Since the fair the entries have moderated, and to all appearance draughts are scarce, as only two were offered last sale, and they brought keen competition. Saturday week I held a very successful sale of furniture — that of the Panama boarding house, consist ing of 27 bedsteads and bedding, 16 tables, 14 wash stands and sets. The sale taken as a whole was very satisfactory, and proves that the Arcade is most suitable for sales of this description.

THE WINTER WORK FUND.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir—As oneinterestedinthismatterl would like to make a suggestion to the Committee appointed, which I think would perhaps popularise the fund, and materially assist in augmenting the amount hoped to be raised I have r.O doubt but that there are many residents in and about Ashburton who would like to make sundry improvements on thoir properties in the shape of fencing, buitding3, digging, &c, but who cannot spare the money to do so at present, and are wailing till they can either make tl ose imorove rnents themselves or spend tke money to employ others to r"o it for them, but who would be willing to try to spare a pound or two and subscribe to the fund if they could get an equivalent amount of libor in return for the sums subscribed by them to the fund at the proper rate of wages usually paid for !hs work to be done. Do not misunderstand me, Mr Editor. lam not suggesting cheap labor, but that the man who subscribes £1 should get £1 worth of labor in return at the proper rate of wage—a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. This would not injure anybody, but. would be fair to subscriber and worker, and would ako have the advantage, that the money so subscribed would earn the the Government subsidy of 24s to every £1 raised by private subscriptions; and it be hoves anyone to assist this necesait >us matter at once. The suggestion, if carried out, would probab'y find work for some skilled labor, and provide a similar amount for the ordinary laborer by obtaining the Government subsidy to be spent on public works. I would also suggest that sub scription lists be left at some of the principal places of business, as many going in and out would give a little, and every la given means two shillings raised. 1 should be very pleased fco have a list lying on my counter for the purpose. Hoping I have made myself clear, and thanking you for the space afforded.—l am, etc., Z.

THE KIEL CANAL

Berlin, June 20 Brilliant festivities took place at Hamburg in connection with the opening of the canal. The Emperor of Germany, the Kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg, and the Dukes of York and Saxa-Ooburg were among those present. The Kaiser, speaking at a banquet, declared that the presence at Kiel of navies representing the various nations was a pledge of peace. Rain marred what would have been a wonderful display of fireworks. The French authorities exhibit a churlish attitude at Kiel, the crews of the warships not being permitted to land or accept the hospitality extended to them. Pakis, June 19 It is said that Paris residents are much annoyed at the bauds of the British warships in Kiel playing " The Watch on the Rhine." Berlin, June 20 The Kaiser's speech at the opening of the canal was peaceful in tone, The Imperial yacht, Hohenzollern headed the procession through the canal at four o'clock, amidst cheers unlike those of other nations. The French officers refused to accept the hospitality to go aboard the German warships.
