ASHBURTON-THURSDA.Y

[Before Mr 0. A. Wray, S.M.] Archibald Street Again. — William Parish was fined 5a and costs for riding a bicyole on the footpath m Archibald Street. The Shops and Shop Assistants Icts. — David Thomas was charged under the Shops and Shop Assistants Acss, on two informa tions, with keeping a shop assistant, one Arthur Hardy, employed after one o'clock on Thursday, Jnne 9, and with keeping his shop open for retail Bales on the aame day. Mr Purnell appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Wilding for the defenoe. Constable Eade, Inspector under the Acts named, said Thursday was the statutory half-hoUd*y m Aahburton. Mr Thomas had a place of business m the Arcade, which was a public thoroughfare, and m this shop was sold general produce, harness, etc On Thurs days, usually the shop was closed at one o'clock, but when horse sales were held on {Thursdays the shop was open. On Thurs day June 9, an auotion sale was held, and at two o'clook the shop was open and goods exposed outside, apparently for sale. The public w»re going m and out, and witnesß WM In himself. During the week goods Were usually sold there by retail—tea, amongst other things. He had been a pur chaser himself. When witness went into the shop on the day m question he saw Mr Hardy, the assistant, who m a jocular way to witness's question as to whether he would ■ell hone brushes said, "Oh yes, I'll sell you anything." The shop was open on the Saturday following, and there had been no other half-holiday that week. By Mr Wild ing—Mr Hardy was writing up the auotion sales— Herbert Yule, dealer, was m the Aroade on June 9, from one till four o'clock. Mr Thomas's shop was open all the time, and horse covers were hanging outside, and harness, etc, inside. Purchased a horae oover from Mr Hardy, after asking the prioe of Mr Thomas. This was m the afteruoon sometime. Had bought a oover there before, but not on a Thursday afternoon.— Mr Wilding said the sales were admitted. By Mr Wilding— Had bought a horse at auobion, and because the weather waa Buoh as a horse could nob be turned out, he asked Mr tFhomas to pub a cover by auotion. Mr Thomas said he oould have one at the reserve price.— William Patching, saddler, waß m the Arcade on Thursday, June 9, for two hours m the afternoon* Mr Thomas's premises were open, and horse oovers were exposed for sale all round the place. Saw the last witness with a new oover over his arm. The room wan jaafc an ordinary shop where goods were sold. By Mr Wilding—Was not m the habit of sell ing after one o'clock on Thursdays. Usually went to the football matches. Had sold two covers before one and delivered them after. — Jameß Patching, saddler, was also m the Arcade on' June 9, after one. Saw horse covers hanging outside of Mr Thomas' shop. — Arthur Hardy, a clerk m the employ of Mr David Thomaß, said he was m the Arcade shop on the Thursday m question. Waß usually there during th& week. Waß there all the afternoon of the sale. There had been no half-holiday that week. By Mr Wilding— The cover sold to Mr Yule was one of a lot sent m for auction, and the reserves on thtm was 18a. Had not offered any goods for sale on that dt»y, and Mr Thomaß had given him instructions not to sell any retail goods on Thursdays, and on that day the oovers were hung out so that if any one wanted one it could be soM by auction. Had reoently had three months' holiday on full pay. By Mr Purnell — While acting as auction clerk m the Arcade, for a sale of £700 or £800 oould not very well do his work m the open Arcade. Had ■ had plenty of half-holidaya since he came back to work m January. Mr Wilding did not deny that the room vas a shop m which goods were sold retail, but the defence waa that no goods were sold there retail on Thursdays. The horse oovers were mto be sold by auction, and the one dis posed of was sold at the reßerve price, tthe use of the room on sale days was that of an office. He called Mr Thomas, vrho said the facts were substantially ub stated by Cous table Eade. The shop was used aa a store room, and an information had been laid against him some months ago, but withdrawn on the understanding that nothing was to be sold by retail on any Thursday afternoon. The store was used as an office on auction days, and the covers were hung outside the office to be offered by auction. Every man m his employ got a fortnight's holiday per annum, and this man had had three months holiday within six months. Witness must have an office for taking money. — His Worahip said there had been an infringement of the Act, through a misapprehension, perhaps, but still an infringement;, and both informations must be upheld, but a' nominal fine he thought would meeb the ends of justice. He would jnfliict a fine of 5b m each case, with coats. Civil Cases.— Cannon v. Lowe, claim £150. Mr Kippenberger for plaintiff, Mr Wilding for defendant. The short facts of the claim were that defendant had m 1888 leased from plaintiff a farm m the Doric district under certain covenants, the lease being for ten years. The covenants which had included proper and skilful husbandry, the leaving of a proportion of the land m English grass, and the fences m satisfactory condition. The land had not been so left, and the fencing had been removed. By the unskilful or oarelees 'sowing of the grass by defendant there had been a loss caused to the plaintiff of £91 13s, and by the removal of the fenc ing and the damage to the windmill there had been a lobs to plaintiff of £58 7s.— P. H. Cannon said defendant became his tenant m 1888 under the lease produced. The lease contained oovenants usual m euoh leases. In paddock number 2 (132 acres), after defendant left, there waß no grass to ba seen at all. There were marks that tha land had been harrowed, through wheat stubble. The land had not been prepared. If seed had been sown, it had been sown on the stubble. The harrowing had been badly done. He had seen it on May 2, and there were heaps m plenty where the harrows had been cheoked by the stubble and turned over to free them. The harrow strokes had also not overlapped, and there were unharrowed strips of from five to ten feet wide. In No. 3 paddock (74 acres) the work had been done better, but Btill badly, and No. 4 (80 acres) was rather better. Had been a farmer all his life, and had bought this lapd m its native state, m 1883 or 1884. Paid £11 an acre for the farm m its native state. As a farmer he would say that defendant should have grubbed or skim ploughed the land, harrowed it>, eown, narrowed again, and then rolled. But the I rolling might have been dispensed with this yean As the work had not been done Jin this way, the grass had been a failure, and , witness waß now ont of pocket 6s 6d an acre to Hugh Muokle for grasa seed, Muckle | being the new tenant at an increased rent. Muokle had ploughed up nearly all the farm siope be went on it. Defendant got the fences |n good order, but the wires and | stakes were removed by defendant from i about 210 chainß, but witness claimed j only on 190. The windmill was put , up by an expert at witness's expense, af te* defendant went pn the farm. Ib was now useless without repairs. By Mr Wilding — Had received a letter from Lowe's Bolioitor, claiming £100 for house built on the land, and m reply eeab a summons to Lowe for & . damages for breach of covenants. Mr Edward Richards occupied the farm before Mr Lowe for three or four years* It was fourteen years since the fences ' were put m by Witnesß ; the posts being either birch or to tar a. Richards cropped, and had but little übock on the farm, bo that the fences were m good order. It would not be wise to take the wires out of a gorse fence because the gorse had grown. It was No. 8 wire he put iUt Some parts of the gorse were pretty fair, but other parts were gappy. The sod bank was standing, and witness made no complasnt of it. He complained of the absence of the wires and the gappy state of the fence. Defendant had evidently trimmed right enough, bat be bad filled up the gaps with dead gorse. Could not say whether the goree had been destroyed by the gorse dideaae or by the inroads of stook. His oontention was that defendant should have maintained the fences m proper order. (The farm was oropped out when defendant got | it, and it was about the same Nvhen he left It. B.ut witness f&% not: ''plaimipg' damages or over-cropping— only for grass seed and encing, Allowed that the season had, a good deal to do with laying downi** - ft ym notttna ** ow o{ten Tb?
