ASHBUBTON—THURSDAY. (Before C. A. Wray, En-< S-M-) BOHOUGH BY-LAWS. James Wilson waa charged with riding a bicycle on the footpath in West street. The Inspector gave evidence to prove the offence, after which a fine of 5s was im posed. DOG REGISTRATION. Thomas Bradford was charged with " failing to register two dogs in his posses sion. Owen Saunders, dog registrar for the County Council, gave evidence to prove that the animals were not registered when he saw defendant on the matter. F. Mainwaring, Clerk of the County Council, also gave evidence. Defendant was fined 5s and costs for failing to register, the benefit of the doubt ' being given to that effect in regard to one J of the dogs. ' j Another defendant was fined in a similar . amount for two dogs, but did not appear. ■ APPLICATION FOR MAINTENANCE. j In the case of Fox v Fox, which wa heard in Court some time ago, Mr Wildin mentioned that the land had been sold- This was an extraordinary thing to do in the face of what Fox had promised. He asked that a warrant be issued for his arrest, as he had left his wife destitute. ■ The order was granted, and the case will ' be further heard at Rakaia. CIVIL CASES. John Orr and Co. v. W. Stonyer.—Ad journed for a week. A. Ager v. W. Sutherland. Claim £10 8s 6d, for work done as an architect. Mr Wilding for plaintiff; Mr Cresswell for defendant. Mr Wilding said that the case arose out of the matter as to who should call for tenders for worfc which was to be done to a building. He outlined the case, and called, Albert Ager said that he was an archi tect, carrying on business in Ashburton. About July Ist saw Sutherland, who came to witness about alterations to a house. Subsequently saw Sutherland and took dimensions of the building, as suggested by defendant. In August, again saw Suther land, who said that he would like a house ■ built similar to one opposite Devane's j hotel. Understood he (witness was to I push on with the work as fast as he could. | Went out and measured the building. ] Advertised for tenders to be in by August ; 21st, and paid 12s for the same. Saw ' Sutherland later when he used forcible • language about calling for tenders. There ; was an Institute of Architects, and the i rule was to charge 5 per cent on the low est tenders, To Mr Cresswell: Was a duly qualified architect, and had served in the same capacity in the Old Country. Before Sutherland gave definite instructions he | did not say that he was a tenant of Bur- j nard's trustees. Gathered more informa- 1 tion regarding the trustees later. Suther- j land approved of the plans. Understood that defendant by intimation wished ten ders to be called, and that the trustees would find the money. During the progress of the work witness had ! another job on hand in Christchurch. | Would be surprised if Sutherland called ! many times during the week from the 11th j to the 19th August, and found him (wit- , ness) not in. It wa3 not usual for archi tects to charge 2* per cent., —at least, this was understood by the Architects' Associa tion. Measured the building by calcula tions, as he had no xule with him. For a sketch plan and an estimate of the probable cost, it would depend on the time he took about it. Re-examined by Mr Wilding: He told Sutherland that it would take the builders nearly a week to get the quantities together. Mr Cresswell, for defendant, said that all the parties in the dispute were respectable and honest men. His client had called at Mr Ager's office several times, but could not find him in. When he found him in his office, a rough sketch was submitted to Mr Sutherland, and suggestions made. Counsel then outlined at some length the important bearings of the case. He 'coun sel), contended that all that Ager had to do was to submit a rough sketch and an estimate. Charles Reid was one of the trustees in the estate of the late S. Burnard. Suther land was a tenant on the property. No plans or estimates had been submitted to the trustees. Told Mr Ai*er that there was no hitch between the trustees, but the plans would have to be approved of by them. f William Sutherland, defendant, said that he saw Mr Ager in regard to sketch plans, and referred to a building below Devane's Hotel. When he saw Ager again, the latter said that he had been too busy to prepare anything. Told Ager that he would have, to submit the sketch plans to the trustees. Met Ager again on the Terrace Road, when a short conversation ensued, and Ager said that he had been out and visited tho place and taken measurements. Saw an adver tisement, which referred to additions to a house at Tinwald, but subsequently found out that it was the one of which the present dispute arose. His wife drew his attention to it. To Mr Wilding: Ager's story was un true. It was he (witness < who drew out the rough sketch. A note was put under Ager's door in Mr Barcett's handwriting to the effect that nothing further should be done until he (witness) had been seen. Kate Sutherlandi wife of defendant, de tailed what occurred when plaintiff went out to witness's place. After taking mea surements, Ager said " I suppose we will-toe calling for tenders for this after a while." Witness said that she could not answer that, but Mr Ager would meet her husband on the road. Thomas Sutherland son of defendant, de tailed what took place when plaintiff and defendant met on the Terrace Boad. H. W. Barrett, commission agent, said that he had written a note, and which was placed under the door. Mr Wilding, in addressing the Court on behalf of his client, said that the latter had been put to some trouble, and he would ask that he be compensated. His client had been out to the place, taken measurements, and this in itself implied that he had taken up some of his own time to do this. If the Court accepted the evidence of defendant as a correct statement, the plaintiff still was entitled to something. His Worship, in giving judgment, said that it appeared to him that the plaintiff had exceeded his instructions. He did not think that plaintiff had been instructed to prepare plans and call for tenders. There had evidently been a misunderstanding. It was nothing for people to call at an architect's and ask for a rough plan. Taking all the circumstances into considera tion, he considered that a guinea would meet the claims of plaintiff, and judgment would be given for that amount with costs. PENSIONS. After hearing old age pensions claims, the Court rose.

Horse Parade.

_ I The annual horse parade, under the auspices of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association, was held at the Show Grounds, Addington, yesterday afternoon, and attracted a much larger attendance than of late years, and the ad<lit."tial interest afforded by the compe tition for the Association's £20 prize for the boat draught stallion on the ground no doubt attracted. There were no less than 47 horses of all classes. The judges were Messrs J. Elliot;, of Mjddlemarch, Otago, and J. C. N. Grigg, of Longbeach, who took considerable pains in selecting the best horse. Out of the number parading they drew out the following seven for closer examination:— Mr John Boag's Koyal Fame (imported), Mr Win. Boag's Border Chief (imported), Mr R. Clark's Prince Alexander, Mr .T. Small's Captain^ Russell, Mr R. Ra,iney's Highland Prince, Mr K. Davie's Arronbrae, a,nd Mr Jas. John's Sandow. Popular opinion was soon formed that the real contest for the prize lay between Royal Fame and Highland Prince, and so it proved, The seven horses were paced and critically inspected, and the judges then confined their attention to the two men tioned. After both had been examined, and passed as sound by Mr J. Charlton, M.R.C.V.S., the judges gave their award in favour of Mr Rainey's horse, the decision being received with cheers. The contest between the two was an exceptionally close one, and the supporters of the two horses were almost equally divided. Among the horses entered were the fol lowing:— Mr George Thompson's " Lord Stanley," Mr J. Heseltine's " King of Quali ty/ Mr R. Clarke's " §fc. Lawrence," Mr J. Small's " Captain Russell," Mr Joseph Taylor's vyQung Oraigxevar." <
