CATTLE STEALING

Peter Grant was arraigned on an indict ment charging him that he did feloniously steal and drive away on the 14tli May, 1872, one ox, the property of a Mr Cvappe. Mr J. C. MacCormick appeared for the " oner, who pleaded " Not guilty." • <l -,'}'J was tuen empannelled, after which the Cro\Vu Prosecutor opened the case at co\yiderable length. ji. Coward Crappe sworn, deposed : I first went to Tauranga on or about the 3rd or 4th July, 1870. Previous to this I had been residing at Mangawai. I took some cattle ■with me to Tauranga—six cows, and the calves consisted of four heifers and two steers ; these calves were about eight months old, and red and white in colour. The two steers I branded shortly after-my arrival in Tauranga, with C in a triangle on the oft' rump. I never parted with these steers. They were on the Judea run, and I have seen them at different times up Vhe March or April. I afterwards heard of one of these steers being in Mr Chad wick's paddock, and went there to look at it. 1 recognised it at once. The mother of the steer is running on the Judea run. She is a red beast. A few days afterwards 1 went to Chadwick's to examine the steer more closely, and there I saw the prisoner. We examined the beast, and Mr Chadwick, sen., also examined it. I never examined brands before. I told them what part of the beast the brands ought to be. I felt for the brand before I cut off the hair. I felt some lumps, which I thought was the brand, and ; pointed them out to the prisoner. Prisoner said it was no brand. The hail1 was then cut off, and water used. The hair was rather Ragged when cut. I felt the brand more dis tinctly then, and told them that that was my brand. They said I must be mistaken—that could be no brand. The prisoner said lie bought the beast from Johnathan Brown some eighteen months ago. Prisoner told me that my bullock was on the run. I saw the beast that he said was mine, but I found it to be the other steer. It was a larger beast, and more red spots about it Prisoner said the steer was about 18 months old when he bought it. I afterwards found that Mr Ohadwick had put his own brand on it, and then I put the matter in the hands of the police. I pointed out the beast tr> the police. The animal was then examined in the presence of the prisoner, and my brand was seen on the steer.

The witness was cross-examined at consi derable length, but nothing further was extracted from him of any imi)ort

-<iv,ucu iroiu mm 01 any nnj, ance. John C'hadwick gave evidence to having bought the steer in question from prisoner for which he had paid £4 10s. About the 14th May last (Jrapp came and claimed the beast. He said the steer had a brand on the off rump 0. Witness's son was present at the time, and the hair was shaved clean from the part where the brand was supposed to be, but no mark could either be seen or felt.

Edward Foley deposed to having shipped some dozen cattle on September last to his brother, at Katakata

Johnathan Brown deposed to having sold a cow and calf to prisoner for £12. It was a large white cow. Witness had bought it from Edward Foley. He had never seen the calf. Prisoner was to take delivery from the rrm, and witness afterwards saw the cow in prisoner's possession. John Darby stated that he knew prisoner and the last witness. Recollected a cow of Mrs Foley's being sold. The cow was quite youngy and the calf, which was her' first, was about three months' old. The calf was worth about 15s.

Mrs Darby was then called and gave cvi dence. similar to that of last witness.

Robert Faulker deposed to having seen Crapp's bullock in pound on the 25th August last. Subsequent to this witness remembered having a conversation with prisoner about the steer he had seen in pound. Prisoner asked him if he wanted to buy a bullock, and. witness replied in the negative, but afterwards went and saw the beast. Witness then asked where prisoner had got the bullock. Prisoner'said he had driven it from. Captain Moorson's place. Witness looked about for a brand but could find none.

Cross-examined by Mr MacCormick : If I had blfen a purchaser I should not have bought the bullock as I had some sxispicion that it was Crapp's. David Kipp, detective officer, sworn, said he had taken the bullock in question to the pound from Chadwick's run. Prisoner in formed him two days previously that he had bought it from Mr Brown. When the part where the brand was supposed to be had been shorn of hair and bathed the brand caine'oTit distinctly. Sergeant Maden, of the Armed Coustabu larly, was next examined, but threw no further light on the matter. [Left sitting.]

DISTRICT COURT.

THIS DAY.

[Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., District Court Judge.] The usual bi-monthly sitting of this Court was held to-day, when the following cases were heard:— HENDERSON AND MACVABLANB V. JOHN KEMSLEY. Mr Beveridge appeared for the plaintiff. Mr Meyers appeared for the defendant;. Claim, £25 9s 6d. The defendant in this case resided in 1868 at Henderson's Mill, and worked as a br'ickmaker for the plaintiffs, who advanced money, and supplied timber and coals to the defendant, who admitted the greater part of the account, but disputed certain items. Several witnesses were called to prove the delivery of the coals, and Mr "Yon der Heyde proved the advancement of cash, and stated that the defendant was to have supplied bricks, which he failed to do. The defendant admitted receiving the cash in four instalments of £5 each, from June to October, 1868, but found that the clay was ■i" a"j't e > au<^ *^c bricks would not burn ; Z^r? a/ subsequently sold the bricks, and had -:>&*/. "the firm. \Mr Meyer, on the part of the defendant, endeavoured to show by certain alleged dis crepancies that the balance really was in ' favour of defendant. Mr Beveridge contended that the plaintiff knew when he went on Mr Henderson's farm, upon certain conditions, that the clay was not adapted for the making of bricks. He went over the various items of the accounts with a view; of establishing their validity .to the satisfaction of the Court, and thought it was a. case that should be settled by arbitration. The evidence on both sides, on account of the distance of time since the transactions took place, was very conflicting. Judgment for plaintiff for £4 4s lid. [Left sitting.]

With regard to the protest lodged against the Avon receiving the prize in the late cutter race, the umpire (Mr George Hender. son) has decided in favor of the Avon,

BANK OF TOKATEA GOLD MINING COMPANY.

The quarterly meeting of shareholders in this company was held this morning at the office of the company, 39, Insurance Build ings. Dr. Lee occupied the chair. The attendance of shareholders was small. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed . The directors' report was read, and appeared of a cheering character notwith standing losses incurred with their late legal manager. The mine manager's report was also read, and a number of specimens, obtained from the mine, exhibited to the shareholders. The balance-sheet showed a cash balance of £11 14s 3d after payment of various accounts amounting to £95 3s 9d. The amount due on unpaid calls was stated at £72 Bs, and the uncalled capital, at 3s 5d per share on 5,267 shares, estimated at £599 15s 7d.

Complaints were made at the conduct of Mr A. W. Fleming in charging expenses for work that he had not carried out, and the Chairman stated that owing to his dilatoriness and mismanagement the shareholders had been put to an expense of something like £20. Several questions were put to the mine manager in reference to the working of the mine, which appeared to be answered to the satisfaction of the meeting. The reports and balance-sheet were jwssed. It was stated that calls had been jjaid since the drafting of the balance-sheet, which had increased the balance to about £20. There were liabilities to the extent of £26 odd.

A meeting of the City Council was held this afternoon. We are compelled to hold over our report.

The Monthly Inspection of No. 1 Royal Company Volunteers will take place to morrow evening, at seven o'clock.
