United Pretia Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph Wellington, August 26

Aa action for damages for alleged mali cious prosecution waa heard in the Supreme Coarb today, before Mr Justice Edwards andajuiyof four. Mary Edith Loulae M'Gregor, barmaid, sued Edward John SearJ, of Scad's Hotel, Wellington, for £501 damages. The ttatement of claim set forth that ffom August 15 to Sept, 10, 1909, plaintiff was employed as barmaid by defenclent. Between Sepb. I and Sept 10 clefendent alleged that the sum of £6 Is bad been stolen from the bar, and on Sept 10 falsely and maliciously, and without iWionible or probable cause charged the plaintiff with having feloniously stolen the money, and caused a warrant to be Issaed for her apprehenskm. She was arrested and imprisoned, and bronght before the Ooarb on Sept. 10. She was enbeeCpaantly committed for trial on a charge of having afcolen £1 on Augnst 31, £2 on Sept. 2, £3 on Sept. 6, and Is on Sept. 10. The defendant was acqaitted In the Sopreme Court, and now claimed £501 damages with costo. The statement of defence denied the allegation that the defendant complained of £6 lg or any other stmi being stolen from the bar between Sept. 1 and Sgpt.lo. The defen' denb admitted making a charge against plaintiff, but said he did not do so falsely and maliciously, and submitted that the other proceedings were taken by the Crown Solicitor in the ordinary way. The defenders^ did not proseeufce the plaintiff or cause h . / to be prosecuted, bufc main* tamed that thsre waf! reasonable and psobable eatiae for the prosecution. The jury found in favour of the defendant on all the tsaues> and judgment wend accord* Ingly with costs.

Native Lands.

{Jotted Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright

Auckland August 25

Mr Justice Oonolly gave an important deoitioß affeoting native lands in the cisc Patat&ka No 1' A' and 'B. A case was granted to Alex: Muir, jun, and presented to the Native Land Court for confirmation) The Court refused to confirm, on the ground that the land was inalienable by section 111 p,f the Native Land Courb Aob, 1894. Ag ainst this decision an appeal was made and argued before Judge Conolly, the ground of appeal being that the land granted under the New Zealand Settlements Act was exempt from the operation of section 117 of tha ■^at'fe Land Court Act. Authorities were

quoted to show that the word ' purohaie,' in the legal meaning, included every other I method of acquiring land except inheritance. His Horour held that the term ' purohase ' might be interpreted in a more restricted sense than the legal definition, but aa land granted under the New Zealand Settlements Act purported to be for good consideration, the hnd in question wae acquired by pur chase, and he would report accordingly to the Native Land Court. This affeota a large area in the Waikato, as the bulk of the lands within the confiscated area are held by natives under the Settlements grants, and therefore in the terms of this decision can be dealt with by lease or tale, cotwithstandiog the restrio ions of the Native Land Cuurt Act, 1894t
