The Weather.

A thunder storm of unneuat severity broke over this district last evening about? o'clock, the Hghcnirjg being very vivid, chain and forked extending over great distances. The thunder, too, was remarkably loud, but the centre of the storm was tome tea or fifteen miles distant. It la feared that the heavy rain that fell must have done damage to the crops. Id the Wakantii diatriot a number of fanners have cut Iheir grain, and a good deal is m atook, while aome was only oat yesterday. The fine warm weather to-day will, however, assist; farming operations greatly, and will do much to counteract) the effeotei of the storm* " The storm was very severe about Maroono, Listnoro.Mt Somere,Wi!lowby,and Flemiug' torj, while m some places between those points, hardly any rairafei!, but the lightning ww vory vivid. Mi 1 William Ashton, of Willowby, I. reports that during the thunder acorm yesterday evening the light aiag struck a gorse fence on the property and 91t abont ten chime of It at once, adjoining a 50 acre paddock of crop, which would have been destroyed had It not started to rain

ABHBURTON-THUBSDAY

(Before Goo Ooleman and T E Upton, £ 'qs., Just'oue.) The adjourned charge of alleged theft of £10 from Mr D. Thomas against H. Fawoett was resumed. Mr Crisp for accused, Mr Wilding for Mr Thomas Mr Oiisp pointed oat that the last telegram was not addressed to D Thomas &t a!?, and the latter portion of the telegram did not apply to this cs.Be, and related to other matters outside Mr Thomas , altogether. As a.matter of fnofc they could prove the money had been actually sent. 1) Thomas, reoalled, said Fawcett was his agent. Mr Crisp—' Vow hay« no right to say so.' The Bench, however, allowed the state ment, Fawoetb delivered a bicycle to Whittle, who was his (Thomas') debtor to £20. Fawoett's telegram about the £5 and the promissory note was applied to him ac he instructed Fisher, and Fisher's aob was therefore his (Thomas') own, and he looked on the telegram received as practically Whittled. Tho information was laid b for© he got the telegram, but ha would still have laid it even after the details he was now m possession of as brought out m the oaae, iTo Mr Crisp—He did not know that he wonld not now moke Whittle pay for the balance of the bcyclo. Whittle, to the Bench—His payment to Fuwcetfc was part cash and part deduction of his board account. Me Wnb Fawcett the £5 to go to Auckland, but oouid not state whether aocused had more money with him or not. Accused informed him he had actually seat the £b to Ashburtosi, but did not state m what manner. Mr Crisp argued that this was one of the most foolish prosecutions everknowt to him, and the whole of the evidence on the other side showed a complete absonce of fraud, aud he quoted authorities m support of hie eonteution?. The whole transaction was by word of mouth between hia client and Whittle, and further if anyone had a right to prosecute this right was Whittle's only. Thomas had distinctly not; that right Fawcett waa not employed m the ordinary relations of matter id servant, and he further pointed out fr n the evidence that accused had actually ac !od up with everyone concerned, Including t j two Whittles and D Thoma,B. With respect to the receipt sent to client, a letter was n'eo senb with the enclosed inFiaher's writing,"' 1 •» this letter Fieher admitted getting tho money. In oi dec to try and prove his client was p""— " the prosecution tried to impugn their own receipt, written and Bent by their proper authority. He further pointed out that Whittle had never yet b^en asked to pay a penny of the supposed shortage. The information further was for £10, whereas Fawcett could not possibly be charged with stealing £5 15s of this, because ill; v\b really his own property and he hold a receipt. If Fwher had fully told Mr Thomas the full faotp, this case wonld not Suva occurred, and his client would not have had to spend five days m the Auckland and one m the Ashburton gaoi, He agreed that everyone had been satisfied, and he com 1 plianed strongly of the method m this class of businein carried on by the prosecution. There was practically no caee for his client to anewe; "—><l he would, without calling evidence for tne uv'ence nsk for a dismiss*!. Mr Wilding replied and quoted recent authorities to show that tinder modern legal regulations the connection of master and servant did exist The Beach, after retiring, decided m follows:—That judging by Fisher's evidence, Fawoetb had authority m this cage to eoiieot the £10, nnd although there were auspicious circumstances m this instanoe, yet there was not) sufficient evidence to show fraud. Thfi Bench decided to dismiss the charge without prejudice, Mr Crisp objsoted to the addition of the terms ' without preju dice,' and! the Justices decided to confer with tho 8.M., and finally announced that their decision should be adhered to.

According to the statement of the Grey River Argusit would appearthat the diffi culty which hf,3 b&fflad mining engineers and others for. many yeare, regarding the saving of the fine gold found In the West Coast black sand, has to eorae extent been overcome by Jones'{ patent novelty gold-saving table?, which are m cue on the Grey River, New River, and Leviat han dredges The Argus learna that dome of the gold saved on the Grey River ; dredge is actually almost as fine as paint. "The fact thifc this'paint' gold can bo ; | saved by dredge tables makes the oadook for hundreds of miltis of West Coast beaches an almopt Illimitable vista of i prosperous Industry, and m the course j of which our early reverses m dredging attempts will be forgotten. There is reason to hope that J ones' or other farther improved go!d*saving tables will yet do for our beaches and their deposits of black sand gold what cyanide and chlor ination are now doing for low grade ores m Johannesburg Wesfcralia, Auckland, and Inangahna " The return for the Grey River ie disappoint iog, bat the oirQumstsncts oonsldtrod is nob so, paradoxical though such may read, says the Greymouth Star, The bed of the river In this claim is modulating, and the dredge is now at that part of the rise where little of no gold was to b<» expected, the metal for this week was very fine, almost like flour, folly bearing oat this contention. The inability of the letter to get to the bottom is also a very aerlone defect that should be remedied, As the darsdge proceeds, the gold will gain make aad inoroasing returns obtaiocd, poe- Bibiy exceeding anything yet found- The Waipuna dredge continues w&rking on the run, whioh so far does not show any improvsmint, but they have not yet readied the ground wh«re the good gold is supposed to lie.
