THE WAE.

We are obliged to withhold nny re jrarks on the important tidings from the seat of war. "We publish addi tional news, supplementary to that published in our " War Extra" of this morning. Of this large and compre hensive digest of war news, printed for us in Honolulu, we have circulated upwards of fifteen handred this fore noon, so that we do not consider it necessary to reproduce the informa tion there contained. But should any person desire to obtain a copy of our " War Extra," he can do so by apply ing at the Star office. Having now completed arrangements at Honolulu for compiling and printing our Extra, we shall, in future, be able to provide, immediately on the arrival of the mail boat in the harbour, the largest and most comprehensive, and carefully compiled Extra published in the city.

OBITUARY

By the European mail tliis morning, we regret to say thnt there has arrived the melancholy intelligence of tlie death of Mrs. rh'uce, wife of Hey. David Bruce, of St. Andrew's Church, Auckland. The deceased lady was staying at the residence of her brother-in-law, the Key. A. B. Brnce, of Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, in Scotland ; and as the scarlatina was at the time in the family, it may be supposed that this was the disease to which she succumbed. The sad intelligence will be received with deep and general sorrow. Mrs. Bruce was so affectionately esteemed, not only among her immediate circle of friends, but by all acquainted with her, that her loss will be felt by a very large number as a pprsonal bereave ment. Deep sympathy is felt for Mr. Bruce, to whom this has been the heaping of sorrow upon sorrow. On the 19th of November his father (Mr. David Bruce) died at Forgandenning. On the 29th of the same month the second son of his brother, in whose house he was staying, died of scarlatina, and then four days after his beloved wife is added to the numbor. It is not often that the hand of affliction is laid so heavily, and all this so rapidly succeeding to the re union of friends, after so many years of separation, roust have been very sad. If general and sincere sympathy can alleviate distress the sorrowing survivors have this alleviation in their bereavement.

He would liUe to have a selection from the largest number possible.— It appeared that out of twelve jurymen sum moned only six answered. —His Honor said he must inflict a fine of five pounds. — —Mr. Wynn thought jurymen should be fined.

Adjourned.—The case of Ricsworth t. Smith was adjourned. Hay v. PAHiir.—Claim, £8 12s. The plaintiff proved his case iii the usual way, by deposing that the sum was due and owing. Judgment for plaintifT. Boyle v. Geaiiam. — The Cuttek Moss Rose.— Mr. Whitaker (junior), for the plain tiff ; Mr. Wynn, for the defendant. Ihe facts as stated by plaintiff's counsel were to the effect, that the plaintiff bought the vessel some two years ago from Mr. Charles Clark, for the purpose of employing her, as a, fishing boat. Two men named William and John Knox were taken in upon part profits to manage her, and to take her to and from the fishing ground. The boat was worth from £50 to £60. The Messrs. Knox were to re pair the boat. Repairs were made by a per son named Hewitt, of Ilowiek, who sued Knox for the amount. The boat was seized to satisfy a judgment given for the plaintiff Hewitt. The boat was sold by Mr. S. Cochrane, at auction, and bought by the de fendant. The question was whether the plaintiff had admitted at the trial that the boat belonged to Knox. Plaintiff now denied that he had ever asserted or admitted the ownership of Kuox. When the boat was seized the plaintiff's solicitor told the bailiff and the auctioneer who sub sequently sold the boat, that the boat was the property of the plaintiff. The defendant deposed that he bought the boat at public auction. The boat was sold under a distress warrant. The boat was knocked down at £16. —Mr. Wynn, for de fendant, contended that it would be mon strous if persons buying at public auction should be subject to such proceedings as the present. No person would be safe. The defendant was a purchaser under the warrant, and whoever might be liable he was not. —The learned counsel on either side having addressed the jury, his Honor summed up, and the jury returned n verdict for the plaintiff, damage.?, £25, on the understanding that the defendant keeps the boat. —Mr. Wynn contended that in. actions of trover, there was a right to return. The defendant would undertake to return the boat in the condition he obtained it. If the boat were returned, the damages could only be nominal. —His Honor choughfc the Court had the discretion to say the damage should be nominal if the goods were returned, especially in a case like the present, where the defendant was wholly in nocent of any wrongful act. If the boat were returned in the same condition, then the damages sho ild be nominal of one shilling. -
