Robert Dudley Eyre, surveyor, examined by Mr Whitaker, deposed. In September 1567 I cut a line shewing the boundaries of the goldfield. The line ran through allot ments 023 and 624. It left six or seven feet of the allotments on the seaward side of the line. I afterwards surveyed the roa-ls laid off on this plan produced. The whole of the two allotments lay on the goldfield side of Bella-street. Mi' Sands assisted me in laying off the roads. The line was cut through swampy ground. There were no signs of cultivation on those allotments at that time, and have not been since. I have never seen allotments used for. anything except »**■ aining. . Cross-examined by Mr Macdonald : The line was, I understood, cut for a goldfields boundary. Bella-street was laid out in a straight line irrespective of the goldfields boundary. William Buscke deposed to having lived near the allotment. . He never saw any cul tivation there. They were not fit to cultivate being swampy. $• John McGregor, miner, deposed: I reside at Waiho-Karaka, on the Queen of Beauty claim. I remember the Queen _of Beauty being pegged off as a mining claim on the 9th of June 18CS. The allotments 623 and 624 have always been used for mining pur poses, and never for any other. George Kerr and Charles Smith, miners, corroborated the evidence given by preceding witness. Mr Whitaker here put in evidence an ad mission of miners' rights, and that Stewart, although not an original owner, held from a person who was an original owner. The plea was also amended by consent, so as to state that the defendants and two other men became the owners of the ground. John Leslie Newbury, common law clerk to Messrs Jackson and Bussell deposed : I have a mortgage deed in my possession as cler kof Jackson and Russell. It is from Mr Graham to Howard and Co. I decline to pro duce that deed, because it is the title deed of Mr Jackson's client to land which does not form part of this action. His Honor held that the attorney was not bound to produce the deed or give evidence r elating to it. Mr Whitaker then intimated his intention of calling secondary evidence to ijhow that by virtue of the deed the plaintiff was not the owner of the land at the present time, having transferred his right. The Court at this stage adjourned for an hour.

A MODEL LOVE LETTER.

Breach of promise cases usually produce laughter, Especially when the love letters are read is the risibility of the court excited. We have been favoured from a thoroughly trustworthy source with a letter which was not read the other day when a case for breach was tried in one of the midland counties. Had it been perhaps the damages given by the jury would have been more than they were—viz., £500. We print the epistle more as a warning than an example.' It ran

thus :—

My Dear Miss M.,— Every time I think of you my heart flops up and down like an excited eel in a lime-basket. Sensations of unutterable joy caper through it like young kittens on an out-house roof, and thrill through it like broken bottles on the top of a garden wall through the tight trousers of the nocturnal thief. As a gosling swimmeth in mud-puddle, so swim I in a sea of glory. Visions of ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs of a blacking brush, and brighter than the eyes of a humming bird's pinions, visit me in my slumbers, and, borne on their in visible wings, your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it, like a pointer snapping at a blue-bottle fly. When I first beheld your angelic per fections I was bewildered, and my brain whirled round like a bumble bee under a glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like the doors in a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag, and in silent adoration I drank in the sweet infec tion of love, as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of iced lemonade and sherry. Since the light of your face fell upon [my life I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself up by my boot jack to the i;op of the church steeple and pull the bellrope for morning school. Day and night you. are in my thoughts. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, rises frem her saffron-coloured couch ; when the sparrow pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree, when the chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds the coming morn, when the awaken ing pig arises from his bed, and granteth, and goeth for his morning refreshments, when the drowsy beetle wheels to droning flight at sultry noontide, and when the lowering herd come home at milking time, I think of thee ; and like a piece of gutta percha my heart seems stretched, clear across my bosom Your hair is like the mane of a chest nut horse powdered with gold; and the brass pins skewered through your waterfall fill me with unbounded awe. Your forehead is smoother than the elbow of an old coat. Your eyes are glorious to be hold. In their liquid depths I see legions of little Cupids bathing, like a cohort of ants in an old Wellington boot. When their fire hit upon my manly breast, it penetrated my whole anatomy, as a charge of bird-shot through a rotten apple. Your nose is from a block of Parian marble, and your mouth is puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on your lips like honey on a bear's paw ; and myriads of unfledged kisses are there ready to fly out and light somewhere, like young birds out of their parents' nest. Your laugh rings in my ears like the jew's-harp's strain, or the bleat of the stray lamb on the bleak hillside. The dimples on your cheeks are like bowers in beds of roses, or hollows in the puffy paste of apple-pies. I am dying to fly to thy presence and pour out the burning eloquence of my love, as thrifty housewives pour out hot coffee. Away from you lam as melancholy as a sick rat. Some times I can hear the cockchafers of despond ency buzzing in my ears, and feel the cold | Wizards of despair crawling down my back. ** Uncouth fears, like a thousand minnows, nibble at my spirits, and my soul is pierced with doubts, like an old cheese is bored with mites, My love for you is stronger than the smell of Battersea mud butter, or the kick of a young cow, and more unselfish than a kitten's first caterwaul. As a song bird han kers for the light of day, the cautious mouse for the toasted cheese in the trap, as a lean pup hankers for new milk, so I long for thee. You are fairer than a speckled Dorking hen, sweeter than a raspberry tart fried in treacle, brighter than the plumage on the head of a Muscovy duck. You are brandy and water with lots of sugar in it. If these few remarks will enable you to see tho inside of my soul, and me to win your affections, I shall be as happy as a wood pecker on a cherry-tree, or a coach-horse in a green pasture. If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling passion I will pine away like a - poisoned flea, and fall away from a dourish mg vine of life, an untimely branch ; and in coming years, when the shadows grow from the hills, and the philosophical frog sings his cheering evening hymns, you, happy in anothers love, can come and drop a tear and catch a cold upon the last resting-place of yours, affectionately, H. The verdict should have been £1,000 at f&e very least.

THE STEAMER RANGATIRA IN A GALE.

The steamer Eangatira. Captain Hepburn, arrived in harbour at 2.30 to-day, after a very tempestuous passsage. Since leaving Tauranga on Friday last Capt. Hepburn has not left the deck, and he asserts that during his experience of the sea he has not met with such heavy weather. The sea constantly made clean breaches over the vessel, and some of the sails were carried away. The steamer left Tauranga at 1 a.m. onfthe 18th inst., and encountered strong easterly weather and head seas immediately on leav ing the harbour at 7 p.m. the wind increased to a gale, and the vessel was hove to for over forty-eight hours. Yesterday at daylight she ran before the wind, and was carried as far as the Poor Knights, which were sighted a few hours afterwards. In making for the Kawau for shelter the vessel en countered heavy beam seas, which shook her very much, and caused her to roll heavily. She anchored in the Kawau at half-past 5 yesterday evening until 11 this ; morning, when she proceeded on her voyage. The steamer Southern Cross, bound from Auckland to Tauranga, had been lying at the Kawau for shelter since Wednesday last .' She had thirty-three passengers on board, eight of which returned to Auckland by the Rangatira to-day. The Southern Cross still lies at the Kawau, also the schooner Jessie Niccol and the barques W. C. Wentworth, Joliba, and Mary Miller, all of which had sought from the fury of the gale. On the Rangatira leaving the'Kawau this morning a steamer was making for the Island. She is supposed to be the Rowena. There was no signs of the Lady Bowen or Nebraska at the Kawau or on the passage up. The following is a list of the passengers :—Messrs Craig and Cross, from Tauranga, and Mrs Simpson, Mrs Floyd, and Miss Collins, Messrs Maun, and Kell, and Capt. Ellis, transferred from the Southern Cross.

THE LATE GALE.

S-s- Southern Cross and ten other Vessels Sheltered at the Kawau.

(fqom a CORRESPONDENT.)

Southern Cross, Capt. Sellers, with forty two passengers, left Auckland wharf at half-past four p.m. on Tuesday, 15th April, reached Waiheke at seven p.m., where she had to put in as the wind (East by. South) was too strong for her to make any way against. At nine p.m. she made another attempt to get out, but was obliged to put back again at eleven to "Waiheke, where she anchored for the night. At seven the following morning (Wednesday) the steamer started for the Kawau which she reached at mid-day, and where she is at present -in comfortable quarters. On the arrival of the Cross the Revenue cutter Ringleader, the schooner Sunbeam, and the cutter Bella were at anchor in the Bay. On Thursday the schooner E lien beat into the harbour, together with two cutters, names unknown. Friday : Brought in the barques W. C. Wentworth, Joliba, and Mary Miller, with very bad re ports of the weather outside. Monday : Jessie Niccol arrived in the morning. In the afternoon the Rangatira steamed in to the harbour having been very severly knocked about by the late gales. Another steamer supposed to be the Rowena is making for this harbour.
