The paper was a yellow looking one. He took a paper from a drawer, and read to me, “ Committeemen and press men to be admitted free. ” George Jameßon-—-J was present when the privileges were sold by Mr. Campbell. Plaintiff purchased stand and paddock. The conditions were read then, and .again next day, when Struthers came to pay me. I had the conditions supplied to me by the Secretary of the Club. The document in

the Court is the one I read to Struthers, and contains the clause bearing upon his purchase. lam certain there was nothing said about Committeemen.. The money has "not beenpaid yetV'* v ‘ ' '* • - - Cross-examined by Mr. Branson—The documents"' were "given 'to' 'mite by Mr, Wilkie, and have never been in any other person’s custody. I received the documents about a week before the sale, and gave them to Mr. Campbell on the day of sale.

James Campbell—l received my instruc tions to sell from "the" secretary of the Racing Club. I remember distinctly read ing the conditions of the sale. The pay ment was made previous to the race meeting.

Cross-examined by Mr. Branson—l heard‘ Struthers say in . his evidence that the whole of the conditions were read over before the sale. That is not the fact. I read the special condition of -each item as it was put up.' ■' I read the words on the conditions produced. I acted as auctioneer whenj .1 authorised the money to be paid over to Mr. Jameson. I had no authority from the Club to collect moneys. I was not present on 19th inst., when the alleged, assault took place ; I was then in Christchurch.

By Mr. Jameson was at the time of -sale acting as our agent, and the general fcustbm,is that auctioneers collect the moneys for goods sold by them. By the Bench-—l am sure that the William Lindsay—Wtes' present at sale, and was a pjoctner of Struthers. Heard Mr. Campbell say that it was the “ Working Commiste£ ancbthe press ’’ that were to be admitted.

■a By -Mj*. Cam pbell said “Committee not ‘Working 1 Com- was false when I used the word * * forking! ” Ham hot a chum of Struthers, hut kno w him partially. I have given- evidence' for Struthers before. I am a'partner of Struthers in this trans action. Tyson Hodgson—Was at the races on the 19th November. Saw a squabble on the course. Saw Friedlander and Wilkie pull Struthers off the stairs. Saw Comp ton in charge of the stairs afterwards. James Wilkie, journalist, and a secre tary of the R icing Club—lnstructed Mr. Campbell to si ill privileges. Was present at the sale. Tried fair means to induce Struthers to keep his bargain. Finding this would not do took stronger measures. By Mr. Branson—Would swear that Mr. Campbell read out conditions. Committee men were'supposed to be members, Mr. Jameson was not authorised to receive moneys on behalf of the Club. Told Strilthers that the Club would make good any loss sustained by unauthorised per sons using the stand. Saw Mr. Denshire, a member of the Club, refused admission to Struthers. All members of the Club wore- blue ribbonß as a distinguishing , mafk.

H: McCutchin —Was on the racecourse on the 19th inst. Saw Friedlander pull Struthers off the third step."' Heard Struthers say the property was his. Rudolph FriedlanderAm a merchant. 1 have made a bet to-day that I would win this case. I took hold of Strilthers and put him off the stairs. The Secretary put another man in charge. I claimed a right to go up stairs. Struthers refused to iet me go up stairs. He used very foul language to me. Several members com plafiied, and the Committee deputed myself and Wilkie to go and settle the matter; and after appealing to, Sergeant Pratt, wo sent Mr.- Denshire uprand on his being refused, we removed Struthers., Cross-examined by Mr. Joyce—After reasoniug with. Strutthers we found wte could not persuade him to allow anyone to go up. He told us he would see any member $ ——d before he would let him

Henderson was engaged to collect money at the saddling paddock. WtfS Cautioned not to collect money. Cross-examined by Mr. Branson—Was told- by Struthers not to allow horses and jockeys to go through the gates. Mr Branson, for the defence, charac terised the plaifit as the must extraordinary plapH he had ever heard. He argued at length;- quoting numerous authorities to show that there was nothing upon which a case could be founded.

The Magistrate said that against Mr. Campbell there was no case, but against the other two, there was probably a case of assault, and he would take evidence op gave evidence that the as*- sault was n mild 4 0ae, Stputhers having been deposited gently on the ground. Mr. Crisp gave evidence that he was prevented from 'going on the grand stand although a member of the Club. Rudolph Friedlander said several com plaints were made about Strutliers. Went arid saw him, and he refused to allow either him jpr' lother.'members to go up stairs. No more violence was used than necessary to eject him. liftving- fte Bepch, , , , • .Hi 3 Worship, in giving judgment, the 'saae was whetligV had been committed, and whether the defendants were, justiflod. It was clear that the state ment of plaintiff as to the purchase of rights was not correct. Therefore he, having refused to allow members to go on the stand, broke one of the conditions of sale. . Two members had ejected him, and thd ; que3tion was, had they any other remedy. He thought they had ; and they might liave ityi&.nptig§ on the gtivi^ tq-ppheat -moneys. The plaintiff on fh e other- was very he did wt think that any damages were due fop his loss of contract.

The Property Assesement Bill.

q, late hour on Saturday morning the House of Representatives were engaged-, with the Property Assessment Bill. On the motion of Mr. Pitt, one of the Nelson City -members, the amount of property a person may hold under the Bill without taxation; and the amount to be deducted from all the larger properties were raised from £3OO to £SOO. This will materially reduce the unpopularity of the measure,

as it will altogether exempt small out settlers in their first struggling stage, and relieve the burden generally from all our small farmers. If Mr. Saunders’ exemptions are also carried, the tax will not be an oppressive one, as it certainly would have been in its original

form. The strongest objection that can be raised to the alteration is that a large number of the electors will feel too little interested in the property tax to exert themselves to promote economy in our public expenditure. The Bill, as pro posed by Government, would have been oppressive, but we cannot say that the circumstances of the colony do not war-

rant severe taxation. There is a large deficiency to make up, and it showed great courage on the part of the Ministry that they came before the House with a full statement of our difficulties, and a

measure to meet them that could not fail to be unpopular. It is satisfactory to know, however, that to some extent the unpopularity of a Bill providing for a sweeping levy of taxation will be averted by a judicious adjustment. The country has met the Government’s proposals in a proper spirit. It is alive to the necessities. of the case, and is quite

prepared to accept the position. In fact, it is very much to the credit of the people that they have realised the situation, and without a murmur have prepared them selves for the payment of a heavier taxa tion than has ever yet been levied in the

history of the colony. The times are ex ceptional, and the demands are urgent; and there are few possible Ministers in the Colony who would have buckled, as the Hall Government have done, to the diffi cult task of remedying the muddle left them by a “ Liberal ” Government, whose term of Government will be long remem bered by its evil effects upon the finance of the colony.

The Taratahi Outrage.

In reference; to the Taratahi outrage a report has lately, been circulated that the injured man Rusch,; c was ', himself the perpetrator of the mutilation from which he is now suffering. The rumor appeared.itOsUS: so absurd that we declined to take any notice of it. The report as far as, we, have,traced it appears to have originated with the police,’and as these gentle men have made a decided failure in their attempts to catch the authors of the outrage, it is easy to find a motive for their wishing people to believe in it. Busch himself strenuously denies the rumor, and has written t<> the Wairarapa Standard a strong letter on the subject, which he concludes with the following words : “Another opinion is, I hear, gradually getting hold amongst the people—that 1 have injured' myself purposely in order to arouse pity. In answer to this most absurd report, I can only say it most likely might have originated from that person or party who have reason to cast off all suspicion from themselves.” For our own part we trust that the circulation o* such a rumor will not be accepted by the police as a sufficient excuse for relaxing their efforts for the discovery of the brutal perpetrators of this crime They should on tke contrary use every means in their power to remove the stigma which must attach to their reputation until the offendersare brought to j ustice. —Northern Exchange.

. Discovery during a Sale.— Mr, John Bernal, auctioneer, was con ducting a sale of household furniture and a collection of antiques and old paintings the other day, in the residence of an old gentleman, in Mallow street, Limerick, who took a delight in the possession of such articles. Mr. Bernal was about to offer three worthless-looking boxes and whatever they contained “on chance,” when an intending bidder kicked ope of the boxes with his foot, and, finding it heavy,he made further examination, when the b,qx yielded up the sum of £4O in siiVSV This led to <l search of the second b,fix, in which £'2o was found. The third waa next tried, and in it were found three gold watohes, jewellery, and diamonds in antique settings, and other valuables. The accidental discovery of the intending bidder will put a considerable sum into the pocket of the owner, an eccentric old gentleman, who might otherwise have let the treasury of money go feft' almost nothing.—“ Northern Whig,”
