company with Mr Joseph May he went to Burvey the farm. On this occasion (the 3rd or 4th of last March) he noticed that the docks had been cut and thrown down, and, being trod upon by the cattle, had shed their seed profusely. He paid a visit to the same ground, Mr May being again with him, in the first week of April, that was the week after defendant had left the farm, his lease having transpired. Witness gave other instances of the growth of the noxious weed. During this last year there were more docks a thousand fold •than he had ever before seen on the same piece * and. Mr May and himself entered into a culation as to the injury caused by the -.^.odding and spreading of dock-seed, the the amount arrived at being £67 10s. In that calculation nothing was allowed for loss of time, but simply for ploughing and harrowing. Witness would willingly give £2 an acre for the land were it clear, but at present he would not have it at a gift. As to the fencing, 150 rails and 17 posts were want ing in a dividing fence; the stonewall required mending a little. Witness specified other damage for which an allowance had been made in their estimate.

B fHe was then cross-examined by Mr. W. H. Kiesling. Before the cross-examination had proceeded far plaintiff's counsel took objection to any evidence being given as to the state of the farm prior to defendant taking possession. It was answered on the other side that it was quite competent on the part of the defence to show the previous condition of the ground. After a few more observation from counsel witness continued his replies. He remem bered the farm ten years ago, when it was first cultivated. It was swampy, and docks were growing ; dock seed (in his opinion) will lay in the ground perhaps twelve or even twenty years without germinating, but if exposed to the air will grow in six days. In the swamp there were two kinda of docks growing, one called the Erjglish and the other the native, the former being more numerous than the other, and commonly called the " broadleaf."

When defendant took the farm in 1869 there were docks on it; don't know whether they were in seed or not; if not cut they would be in seed and would increase. Tha greatest crop of docks at the present time is on either side of the main drain to the extent of three acres. p- The cross-examination was then carried as to the items of damage. (Left sitting.)
