ASHBUBTON-THURSDAY.

[Before Mr 0. A. Wray, S.M.] j Illegal Fishing.— James and Augustus Goodwin were charged at the instance of Edward Patton, Collector of Customs, m the interest of the Aahburton Acclimatiea tion Society, with having fished the Aah burton river on January 1 for trout, using a caff and the art of tickling as a means of getting the fiah» They were al*o charged with fishing without a liconse. Mr Wilding appeared for them, but accused themselves did not appear, and by consent the case was adjourned for a fortnight.— William Mile B and D. Cairnoross were also charged under ♦he same oiroum»tanceß, their alleged offence having been committed on December 23, and their means a net. They, too, were charged with fishing without a license. As it was considered wise to hear the cases together, these two were also adiourned. Civil oABB3.— Jaokson v. Legerwood, £1 2a— adiourned from a previous Bitting to get the evidence of a witness— was resumed. The witnesß denied having received the money from defendant to pay Jatikson, and judgment waß given for the amount with costa.— Craighead and Berryman v. James Gill, £9 10a— judgment summons ; order for immediate payment. The Kennels Case.— F. P. Claridge y. C. Wynn-Williams. The hearing of this o«80 was resumed. Jessie Shaw stated she was housekeeper for a time at the Kennels. During her term Wynn-Williams had several grooma, and Bertie Wynn-Williams was also there ; the latter looked after the hounds. Saw the gig harness m the long room, and fcUo »w it used m Mr Wynn- Williams' trap m his journeys to and from Abhburtou. ThU harneiß was worn out m use by Wynn- Williams, and the harneia broke while ano was m the trap one day. New harness was proourad by Wynn-Wilhama when the old wm worn out. The harness waa used m a big spring cart, and was too light for the trap. Saw Wynn- Williams go into the long room very often, and had seen For, hie groom, and Bertie, his brother, there. They took nickel "one and ■trapaand racing irons and straps. Xne witness was examined at length as to a number of articles belonging to Olandge that she had seen used by Wynn- Williams as hia own. Was four or five moni ha m hia service. — Ambrose Fox, groom, worked for Claridge for two and » half years before he went to England, and C. Wynn- Williams took wit neas on when he took over the Kennela, where he worked till May last. Straw and firewood left by Claridge were used by Williams. The gig hatnesß waa a good Becond-hand set when Claridge went away. Williams need the harness constantly m the apring cart for two or three monthß. It was too light for the carb and got all broken up. WUliaros said when he brought the harness out that he bought it from Mr Claridge at hia own prioe. Saw Bertie bring three yellow ruga out of the long room, and put them down at each horse's door. He told witness, m response to a remark made by him as to their being Claridge's, that he would put them back when done with them. They were used for six weeks. Witness also gave evidence as to the nickel and racing irons being m use, and the brushes, rubbers, etc., m the stablea. I. W. Armstrong, B. Budinga, jockeyß, and Leslie Moore, trainer, gave unimportant evidence, which closed the caae for the plaintiff. Mr Wilding ■aid he never remembered a case m which the interposition of the Court was less needed than this one. He reviewed the former relationa between the parties, and contended that by a little exercise of good temper or tact the differences between them might have been arranged. However, they were face to face with the case m Court and it i had to be dealt with. He reviewed the evidence and contended that there had been no identification attempted of the goods which formed the basis of the action. He . } •aid there was no agreement as to ; the occupanoy of the house beyond what referred -to Mr William Claridge being allowed to- remain at the Kennela. Mr Claridge had no right to make any arrangements as to the house at the Kennels, Mr Buckley being the proprietor. He sub mitted that the tact was that Mr Claridge found on his return from England that Mr C. Wynn- Williams had been appointed m his place — thereby disposing him of his principal means of living — and hence the reason for bringing this action. He called the follow ing witneaaes— C. F. Todhunter, Donald McLean, C. Geisler, who gave evidence m oorroboration of the case as stated by Mr Wilding. (Left sitting)

(By Teegraph.) From Our Own Correspondent. Hinds, January 27. A big tire is (2 30) burning a mile Bouth of ; Hinds railway station. It began after the ; express passed. It is evidently grass or ; gorse, and perhaps a plantation. It seems ] from the railway station to be dangerously ] near the house of Mr David Grant, and ] Btill travelling fast and vigorously. A strong nor'west wind is blowing, and there is nothing to prevent the fire going through Studholme's laud and the Coldttream Estate to the tea. If Grant's land has caught, nothing can save the crop. t

THE COLLAR ia an invention which wins the approval of all ownerß of torses who once give it a trial. TESTIMONIALS. Eo Mr F. Ferriman, Dear Sir, — I have taken great pains to see how the above Collars would answer, md as you have taken over the agency for ;hem I am sending you this testimonial, loping you will u»e it for the benefit of the farming community, as I am satisfied the Steel Collar is a great boon to this county on iccount of the great heat and boulders we mve to contend with. I have used them for carting shingle m riverbeds and find that they ease the horses very much. I mve also used them m the hottest part of summer to put m turnip- 1 , and find the lorses wearing the Steel Collars finished nuch fresher and took less feed to keep them .n condition than those working m the leather col'ars. I had a mare sent to me with her shoulders quite raw, and her owner :ould not cure them. I started to work her m the Steel Cellar, and within a month aad her as sound as possible. Another man jent me a mare with a tumor on her moulder. I worked her m a Steel Collar md had her well m a week. In fact I do aot think they can be too highly praised, md if once used no other sort will be used igain. At the smne time I would like to remind all that use them that they must be kept quite clean, a rub with a wet cloth is ill that is required. F. A. Saunders. Maj field. Ashburton, November 30, 1897 Mb F. Ferriman, Dear Sir — I have used bbo Patent Steel Collar and find, them very satisfactory. My horses are never troubled with sore shoulders when worked m these collars. Thomas Bennett. Ashburton, November 27, 1897 Mr F. Ferribian, Dear Sir -I am using bix of the Patent Steel Horse Collars foi draught horses, and although my country is very rough none of my horses working m these collars ever suffer from sore shoulders. Whenever my leather collars fail I replace them with the steel ones. I always use them ■ whin breaking m young horses, aud never i have any trouble with their shoulders. 1 have horses I could not work unless I had the Steel Collars. John Doyle. THE A (/vantages of the Collar MAY BE SUMMARISED AS BELOW :— No Hames required ; It is easily fitted ; It cannot get out of shape by wear ; It requires no stuffing ; There is no pinching of the shoulders ; The jerk at starting with a heavy load is minimised, the collar being m itself a spring. The pull is distributed over a large surface of the shoulder, and does not come wholly on the outer edge,' as is often the case with the ordinary Collar. It never wants drying, and, therefore, a second Collar for use during that pro- cess is unnecessary, , It is cheaper, lighter, and more comfort- able, and lasts longer than a Leather Collar and The parts are interchangeable.
