t Plaintiff recalled—by Mr. Holmes — Defendant never sent me -word till months after that he had sent the calves to Rolls, and then they were gone. I never went or sent for the calves. His Worship gave judgment for plain tiff for Lll os. and costs, LI 19s. A. Devery v. Trustees in estate of Wm. Leslie, Chertsey. Counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Holmes ; for defendants Mr. Purnell. Plaintiff had agreed to cut the crop on Leslie’s estate, he finding the horses and drivers ; defendant finding the machines. Plaintiff owed defendants for work done and repairs to machines. During the pro gress of the work Devery obtained a pro missory note from defendants for L 75, which he had some difficulty in cashing, having to pay L 5 3s. 7d. for the accommo dation. Defendants contended that Devery had no authority to incur expense for repairs, that the machines were handed to him in good working order, and that the amount charged for cashing the pro missory note was excessive. They also .. v claimed L 25, value of an Osborne machine which had been damaged through plaintiff’s horses bolting. A great deal of evidence was taken as to the value of second-hand machines, and also to the competence of Devery’s men, and the quality of his horses. The case occupied the Bench till nearly four p.m., when Counsel decided to i leave the case in his Worship’s hands without further argument. Verdict, for plaintiff, less L25,‘ value of the. machine destroyed, and, the'commission on the promissory note, and costs.

Parliamentary Notes.

(From our own Correspondent.)

Wellington, July 16.

The first Order of the Day was the Maori Prisoners Bill, over which much dreary discussion is proceeding. There was perhaps never a session when the pro ceedings of the House were so dull as they have been this year. The best speakers in the House are not heard at all, and Hansard is being crammed with such men as Seddon, Stewart, Turnbull, and Andrews, who will talk for any length of time to empty benches without throwing a particle of light upon any subject. They not infrequently spend LSOO worth of talk in some foolish attempt to take LSO from the salary of a clerk about whose value the Executive only can judge. Last night there was a fight over an Otago Harbor Board Loan Bill, which showed very plainly that in the present temper of both Houses the Ashburton Waterworks Bill has but a small chance of cutting its way through both Houses. Since Mr. Saunders’ speech last Monday night the Wellington papers have dropped the Civil Service report and Mr. Conyer’s letter like a hot iron with which they had burned their fingers. The great fight which was anticipated collapsed with a pitiful exhibition of Mr. Macandrew’s teeth, a dirge for the civil servants by Mr. Gisborne, and a reprimand from Mr. Thompson to the Ministry for having joined in the cheers when Mr. Saunders sat down. Messrs. Fox and Wood having stated that every word in the report was more than proved, Mr. Macandrew has since found that, he has no alternative but to grin bear it. It is evident that even the newspapers are uncertain that Mr. Conyers will be the source of future advertisements.

The debate cn the Maori Prisoners Bill is likely to. be a long one. Messrs. Turn ; bull and Stewart have already given their valuable experience in Maori affairs, and Mr. Seddon has threatened a fi v e hours’ speech. It is hoped that some of this will be put a stop to by a regulation limiting the number of Hansard pages that any member may occupy. Mr. Sheehan made his first appparance for this session to-day, and asked the House to suspend its judg ment upon him until they had heard his defence. His personal influence in Bel lamy’s, though much less than it was two years ago, is still very great. A publicans’ petition against the removal of licenses by magistrates at the Thames, although sup ported by Sir George Grey, was refused consideration yesterday afternoon, in a manner that showed the altered temper of the House on that subject, and that the publicans have no longer the power that they had in 1878.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.

EVENING SITTING. Friday, July-16. The House met at 2.30 p.m. Mr. Hamlin asked without notifce, if the attention of Government had been called to a dramatic representation “ The Kellys,” which had been suppresed by the police in Sydney, and which was adver tised to be played in Wellington to-mor row, and if so, were steps to be taken to prohibit it. The Hon. John Hall replied that the attention of Government had been directed to the subject, but they had no pover have had some special power. The House would be asked to pass a general measure to meet sijich cases in future. Replying to questions, it was stated that the compilation of Maori history was com menced in 1838, and while the compiler ! had been paid L 562 for sixteen months’ Work, Government had no knowledge when it would be completed.—The West Coast report would be printed in Maori. —ln Canterbury, a ' gchool had been established for instruction in Agriculture. It had a landed endow ment of 100,000 acres, and was open to the whole colony, practically free of charge. —Government was in correspon dence with the Banks for a renewal of the silver currency. The amount in New Zealand requiring renewal was about L 67,000. —It was not intended at present to amend the Land Act in connection with deferred payment lands, so as to deal under the ballot instead of by auction. The Imprest Supply Bill for L 250,000 was introduced and passed through all its stages. Mr. Sheehan stated that imputations had been made against him during his absence which, when he got the oppor tunity, he would be able to repel. Mr. Bryce moved the second reading of the Maori Prisoners Bill. When Go vernment took office they found the west coast difficulty in an aggravated form. The L 55,000 vote placed at their disposal for road purposes had, notwithstanding what had been said to the contrary, been highly beneficial. Government had shown the

natives that on the one hand they were willing to deal fairly with them, and on the other hand they were resolved upon dealing fairly. Before the House, -was again called together he hoped to see hundreds of persons settled an the Waimate plains, and the oimcmty itself completely solved. After re moving the surveyors from <<ho plains, the natives appeared to think they were bound to resort . to ploughing operations to assert tneir right. That was no ordinary trespass. Had they been brought to trial they would only have°received a few days’ imprisonment, so they would have been enabled to re turn to their district in a body that would have been dangerous to the peace and order and good government of the colony. What Government proposed was to liberate one or two of these mem from time to time. By that, means they hoped to avert all likelihood of farther disturb ance. There was a fair prospect of this difficulty being finally settled, and he hoped the House would do nothing cal culated to destroy that prospect.

Messrs. Te Wheoro and Tomoana spoke against the Bill. Mr. Stewart argued that its effect would be to deprive the prisoners of their right to apply for habeas corpus. Mr. Turnbull also dissented expresing an opinion that, if they released the men, and pointed out the reserves made for them, telling them that if they disturbed the place, they would forfeit these re serves, that would have the desired effect. The House adjourned at 5.30

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE MAN AND THE MONKEY. [continued.]

Among the officers he soon became popular. I gave due publicity to liis gallantry when captured, and that was quite sufficient to place him on a good footing with military men. Besides this, he was good-humored, clever, and always lively, could take a joke and repay it with interest. As a musician, both vocal and instrumental, he was decidedly above par ; when casualties were brought in from the batteries, he was handy in assisting the surgeons, and in fencing, dancing, and cookery, we soon found out that he equalled the highly-educated of his own countrymen. The consequence was that M. De Montmaur was a welcome guest in every mess ; and whenever an ad venturous suttee brought us fruit, vegetable*, (r fish, or fresh meat, he was specially invited to share the feast. If he sometimes talked big, either about his prowess, his military attainments, . his extraordinary adven tures, his hairbreadth escapes, his varied accomplishments, or his innumerable con quests among the fair, this only added to our amusement 1 ; his vanity was so open hearted that we liked him all the better. His more extravagant sallies were gener ally received with cheers, shouts of laugh ter, and much thumping on tiro table, all which he took to his own credit, pro bably unconscious that the said thumping was a ’grim regimental pun, practically and conventionally signifying “ That’s a thumper!” When he succeeded in illi citing a vociferous demonstration, he al ways went home to liis quarters in a high •state of exhileration!

In the garrison, however, wo had one individual with whom M. De Montmaur, though it was not his own fault, never established amicable relations. This was a foreign officer in our service ; he wals from the north of Europe—a Captain Sclmaub, who though ho wanted neither courage nor capacity, had certainly failed in making himself generally popular among us. Ho was a tall, large, power ful man, his stoutness almost verging on corpulency. His manner was rough, so were his jokes. Unfortunately, also he viewed all Frenchmen with hostility, and this feeling he had no opportunity of exhibiting, except toward M. De Mont maur, whom he was in the habit of treat ing as ignominously as the general feeling of the garrison would permit. To me, our little prisoner had mentioned the subject more than once, pompously re marking that he feared he should be under the painful necessity of teaching “ce cher Captain Se-che-nanbbe” a lesson in ‘'politeness.” At length, in M. De Montmaur’s opinion, the time for administering this very necessary lesson arrived, and he communicated with me in due form. He commenced the conference by intimating that,* “though little in stature, he was as brave as a lion. ”

To this I merely responded by a bow. He next went on to state that “ his sense of honor was not inferior to his bravery. ” In short, seeing that he had a commu nication to make, and was taking a very roundabout way of coming to the point, I brought him to it at once. He then gave ttie to understand that the moment had at length arrived, when, without appearing either captious or precipitate—he would like to see the individual, present company excepted, whose discretion and amiability came anything next to his own —he felt himself free to terminate a long series of insolences. -Observing next the seawall, he said, a party of officers in conversation, among them “ce cher Captaine Se-che naubbe,” he had been impelled by that courtesy which so eminently distinguished him, to approach and salute them. His salute was politely and smilingly returned by the whole party, with one exception. “ Ce cher Captaine,” gave no token of recognition ; nay, worse, actually held up a key, and looked at him through it, as if it had been an eye-glass, thereby convey ing the offensive imputation that he was so diminutive, so insignificant, as not to be discernible by the naked eye. This raised a laugh among the gentlemen pre sent, and more offensive still, the laugh was taken up and audibly re-echoed by certain non-commissioned officers and privates who were standing not far off. For this insult M. De Montmaur felt him self entitled to prompt satisfaction. “ Well,” said I, “ you state the case as a party interested. Before pronouncing on it, I should like to ascertain the im pression of one or two of the officers present. Considering that you and I have been so much together, and that it was I, moreover, who had the honor of receiving your surrender, I shall view the insult, if: any was intended, as offered to myself. The quarrel in that case will be mine ; I am the person to whom .the Cap tain will owe satisfaction.” (Such in these days of duelling, were QUP notions of honor.) . ■ _ “Ah,” cried the little frenchman, < c that is brave ! that is noble! that is just exactly what I knew you would say !

Eut I anticipated your chivalrous sentiments?by equal chivalry on my own part. My challenge is already sent ; I despatched it an hour ago ; and I have the Captain’s acceptance in my pocket. The only favor, therefore, which I now ask, is your obliging company as my friend.”

The affair came off; the weapons, rapiers ; the time, afternoon ; the field of slaughter, a retired spot beyond the barracks, and not far from the southern extremity of the Rock. Nevertheless, the business having got wind, a few officers lounged down to see ; and several other persons, civilians as well as soldiers, stood looking on at a distance. The parties being placed, a few thrusts were exchanged without effect. The Cap tain looked sulky enough. It was evident lie keenly felt his ridiculous position ; he, the biggest man in the garrison, stuck up vis-a-vis in mortal combat with the least. The poor man fenced as if he couldn’t help himself. The little Frenchman, on the, contrary, was all activity and enter prise. At length, after a brisk passage of arms, the two stood facing each other for a few seconds in perfect stillness, their swords barely touching at their extremi ties. Suddenly the little Frenchman swelled to twice his natural size, stamped, shouted “Hah !” sprang forward a yard, sprang back again. It was done in the twinkling of an eye. There he stood, just in his former as though he had never moved. At first 1 was not aware of any result; but three inches of his sword had taken effect, just as surely as when a spider having netted a wasp, jumps at him, nips, and jumps away again. The Captain had got an ugly progue in his sword-arm, between the wrist and elbow. The first token was that he used some shockingly bad lan guage ; next, he turned deadly pale ; then liis sword gradually went down, down, down ; then the weapon fell from his grasp—he could hold it no longer. M. De Montmaur, scorning to profit by his success, bowed politely to his antagonist, thanked him for the honor of “ dis meeting,” and expressed hitnself “ per fectly satisfy.” The Captain was taken away by his second, growling thunder, and followed by the doctor. The officers present, with whom he was far from popular, were not sorry that he had got a lesson, and sur rounded the victor. A few words com mendatory of M. De Montmaur’s pluck and skill took such an effect that the little Lieutenant was quite beside himself. He gesticulated, he wept. He called all Olympus to witness that no insult how ever gross, should ever induce him to draw his sword, in single combat, against the British uniform, and in proof of his sincerity he entreated he implored, that some one present would have the kind ness to kick him or pud his nose, and see if he would, not take it like a lamb. To prevent his making a more complete ass of himself, I got him off the field, gave him an early supper, with only a short allowance of grog, and sent him to bed. ; Captain Schnaub, who with all his little peculiarities of character, was a zealous officer, appeared at his post on the third day with a slung arm, and in a fortnight was well.

So ends the first part of my story. (to be continued,)

THE ASHBURTON HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1880.



Holloway’s Pjlls. —The extraordinary range of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely trying to the delicate-chested, the weak and nervous, All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to the strengthening and regulating medicine immedi ately they perceive in themselves discomfort of that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion or bile.
