ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Messrs T. Bullock and I). Thomas,, Js.P) BREACH OF THE STOCK ACT. G. W. Osborne was charged with taking sheep to a sale while they were affected by lice Defendant did not appear. Mr Blair Fullarton prosecuted on behalf of the Stock Department. The Bench iuflicted a fine of 20a and costs.

ALLEGED FOItGERY. H. Crump was brought up on remand, charged with having committed forgery and uttering, and the case was allowed to stand over until later. BKEACH OP THE IMBACE. William Smithies and Robert Grice were charged with creating a breach of the peace at Willowby on the 13th inst. Accused pleaded guilit j. Mr Purnell appeared for Smithies and Mr Wilding for Grice. Mr Purnell sa id it was a very trivial matter. He would ask the Bench to take a lenient view of the case. William Harding, farmer, deposed that when he was going to church on the even ing in question, he saw a party at a cross road. There was a fight in progress. There had been disturbances lately during church services. A five of 10s was imposed on each de ! f endant.

CIVIL CASES. George Stoddart t Splatt, claim 14s 3d. Judgment for plaintiff by default Brown v Stonyer, claim ,£4o.—This case was adjourned for a week. Bouse v Lintern claim .£2O, the value of certain articles not enumerated in the list of effects in the Alford Forest Hotel, when possession was given to defendant. John Coles, manager for the firm of A. H. White, Christchurch, produced an inventory of the goods in tha Alford Forest Hotel when he valued the contents. Witness went through the list in detail. Witness suggested that defendant should pay £7 10s in settlement. To Mr Purnell—Was employed to value by both raarties. Mrs Rouse was in pos session of the hotel when he went up, and remained there till he left. Witness left nothing out of the valuation that he knew of. Before leaving the hotel, witness gave Lintern his valuation. Mrs Eouse called on him afterwards in Christchurch, and drew his attention to certain articles which witness ha.d left out of the valuation, and which witness valued at 30s. Witness wrote to defendant on the matter. The letter (produced) was the one he had written. Harriet Eouse, licensee of the Alford Forest Hotel at the tin.c of the sale, said the principal article left out of the list was a movable whare, which she had built some months ago at a cost of £12 10s. Witness had pointed out the whare to the previous witness, but he evidently thought it was part of the freehold. Witness detailed the list.

To Mr Purnell—Witness destroyed a letter she received from defendant, which stated that defendant would not pay for anything, but witness could come and take anything not in the list. Witness would not take anything under any pretence, as the agreement said defendant was to take all the furniture. Green drove Mrs Eouse over to the hotel on one occasion, when she went to claim some private articles. Lintern said he would return nothing till he saw the valuer's list. This waa the case. Thomas Lintern, defendent in the action, said he looked over the property before, signing the agreement, he understood he^ was buying the whole of the property. MrsJ Eouse and witness employed Mr Cole to value the effects. Mrs Kouse left the hotel of her own account. Sh« behaved in a nasty way with witness, who said that what was not on the list she was quite welcome to have. He found about half a coil of wire, worth about three shillings, and three old spittoons. The window curtains Mrs Eouse was claiming were on the list. The whare could not be moved out of the paddock without taking down a fence. If Mrs Eouse wanted it, she could take it away. It was worth about .£3 or .£4. There were some things on the list which he had never seen yeb. To Mr Wilding—Witness took possession on the day the valuation was made. There was no el&im put in for the whare. By Mr Purnell—-When he got the sum mons he went to Christchurch and saw Mr Coles' who said the whole affair was paltry. Judgment was given for plaintiff for <£7 12s and costs, and witnesses' expenses. (Left sitting.)
