Tolls and royalty, £9 Ms lid. Mr Joy for the defendant, and Mr Rees for plaintiff. The plaintiff in this ease rents the toll gate at the junction of the Mount Eden and Whau road, and the scoria pits at Mount Eden. PJaintif is a contractor who has been engaged carting scoria from the pits for the Harbour Board. The issue of this case was watched with interest by a number of con tractors in court. The royalty was explained to mean the price charged for the scoria, Mr Joy denied the defendant's liability on various grounds, v>..: int. That the time for collecting the toll had passed. 2nd. That the defendant claimed exemption from toll. id. That be denied liability to pay loyalty. 4th. That he denied plaintiff to be the lessee of the tolls. sth. That it re ted with plaintiff to prove his case by shewin-' fror_ what pits the gravel came. Mr. Roes, in stating the case for the plain tiff, said defendant bad paid several accounts before without demurring. When ths present account, which was for July, was sent in, defendant objected to pay the amount. Plaintiff had allowed defendant to run bis accounts for the month at a time, trusting to his having pnid before being a guarantee ho would pay again. There had been no dispute before. He put in as evidence " The Turnpike Act, 1866," and the Provincial Gazettes, December 20, 1871, and sth June, 1866, containing the proclama tion of theftoil-gate, andthe amount of toll to be levied. Mr V. E. Rice, chief clerk of the Pro vincial Government offices, was then called for the plaintiff, and produced the bond of Kirby and two sureties, and the conditions of tolls signed by the Superintendent as documents authorizing the plaintiff to re ceive both royalty and tolls. By Mr Joy": That is the only document by which Kirby holds the pits. Mr Joy objected to the document being re ceived in evidence as it was not a lease, and the plaintiff "was suing as . a lessee. He submitted that every lease must be* in the form of a deed. If the Court ruled that the document was a lease then it must be stamped before it conld-be produced in evi dence. The Court ruled that the document could he admitted, but said it was a question what it was worth. Mr Morrow was called, and putin the plan of the Mount Eden reserves. Mr Kirby, the plaintiff, was called and deposed to receiving both royalty and toll from the contractors who carted scoria from the pits. The payments had recently not been made punctually. Since the bringing of the present case all the contractors had refused to pay until it was decided. Every one of the pits belonged to him this year. He did not demand the royalty at the pits, but at the toll-gate. He had bought the _ right to charge 6d a load for the scoria carted from the Government pits, and he charged what he liked for the scoria from the other pits. The Mount Eden Board was the only Board which had exemption from tolls and royalty. He could not gay why this Board was exempt. . [Left sitting.]

SUPREME COURT.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

Yesterday.— Continued.

(Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight,

Chief Justice.)

TOE KAIHU ASSAULT CASE,

The prisoner addressed the jury at con siderable length, his address occupying one hour and a-hall in delivery. His Honor then summed with his usual minuteness and care.

The jury considered the evidence, and at half-past six returned a verdict of Guilty against the male prisoner for assault, with intent to do grevious bodily harm, and ex onerated the female prisoner, who was' at once discharged. ' ,; The sentence was deferred.

THIS DAY

His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock.

SENTENCE.

James Heaton was brought up this morn ing to receive sentence for assaulting James Watson, but previous to the sentence being passed upon him the prisoner handed in a written statement and several testimonials to the Court, which were read by the Regis trar. The paper, though not explicitly a confession.of the crime, was . tantamount te* such a confession, as it virtually avowed that he was exasperated by what had come to his knowledge impugning the chastity of his wife, who, he alleged, had been violated while in a state of senseless drunkenness by Watson and another man, and that he himself was not conscious of his acts owing to the same excesses.

His Honor commented upon the document at lengtn, and sentenced the prisoner to four years, t penal servitude. ; ;

THE STABBING CASE AT QUEEN'S REDOUBI^ ' William-Kinnison was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with killing and slaying Patrick Hunter, a fellow workman, at the Queen's Redoubt, on the 7th of July last.

Prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Mr' Brookfield opened the caso for the prosecution, and Mr Laishley appeared for the defence. . Robert Murray, the first witness in this case, on being' sworn, deposed that he was a labourer on the railway ; and on the 7th of July last ho waa in company with the prisoner, who had been drinking consider ably, but was not drunk. He had known the deceased, man, Hunter,. ior many years previously. Prisoner and Hunter knew each other, but were not on intimate terms. Witness and prisoner had been at the Queen's Hotel together, and left at ten o'clock ; and on passing Hunter's whare Hunter called him in, and asked him to partake of some refresh ments. Hunter was sober at the time; and knew well what he was about. The prisoner followed to the door of the tent. Hunter upon seeing Kinnison requested him to go away, for he did not want the " bikes of him " near his place ; but gave no reason for tbis expression. Prisoner was obstinate, and would not go. Hunter then got up for the purpose of pushing him away, when prisoner went across the road to the opposite side. Prisoner then swore and cutsed Hunter, and wanted to know what he had done to be served in that way. Hunter immediately rushed out towards the prisoner, and witnessed followed, when they oi closed together, and Hunter immediately fell back; he saw the knife gleaming in his ffav,hand ; the moon was shine at the time ; it f\ as clear as day. . Upon falling, Hunter v exclaimed .'' God be merciful to me, I am stabbed." Witness went at once to Mr Rae, who assisted witness to remove the wounded man, whose bowels were protruding. Cross-examined by Mr Laishley : He was was not aware that any ill-feeling had existed betwen Hunter and Kinnison. He must have been aware of it if such had existed. He was positive that the deceased used no

violent expressions towards Kinnison. Men of bin class Were in the habit of walking into i each others tents without invitation when they were mates, but not otherwise. He '■ should not do so, especially at that time of night. Hunter was not drunk. Nor to his knowledge was he of a quarrelsome disposi- ', tion. He had known Hunter for ten years, and never saw him the worst for liquor. He was acquainted with Michael Kelly, and he understood that Hunter upon one occasion had given Kelly a clip in the ear, but did not thrash him. A saint in Heaven woiild have thrashed Kelly under such pro voking circumstances as those which pro voked Hunter to clip Kelly's ear. His opinion of rlrinking was that a working man in geiod health might take six pints of beer, and then not be drunk. He saw the knife distinctly drawn by the prisoner from Hunter's person, who was stabbed before they had time to exchange blows. Before the brief struggle Kinnison said, " I'll give that b r something." i William Rao, storekeeper of the Queen's I Redoubt, remembered the 7th of July, when j a little after ten the last witness came into ! his store, and said that Kinnison had stabbed ■ Patrick Hunter. The knife with which the • deed was perpetrated had been purchased of I witnes by prisoner in the early pait of the j day. He obtained the knife from prisoner, and subsequently handed it to Constable Walker. Prisoner was in liquor, and very much excited. He removed Hunter to the hotel, and sent for Dr Herbert. Cross-examined by Mr Laishley : Prisoner was considerably excited, partly from circum stances, and partly from drink. He asked for a sheath knife and belt, which were supplied to him, but he did not get the sardines for himself. He had taken something to drink with the parties previously — one half-pint of beer. He bad known Hunter about seven years, but never saw him drunk. He was not aware that Hunter was a (quarrelsome man. He was taller than prisoner, but not so heavy. He could not say whether Hunter was physi cally a better man than prisoner. He had frequently seen prisoner under the influence of liquor, but he always appeared quiet and harmlesss. Henry Edward Herbert, a duly-qualified medical practitioner in the neighbourhood of the Queen's Redoubt, deposed as to bein*j called to attend upon the deceased man. Dr Herbert then described the serious nature of the wound, which evidently had been caused by a kni^e such as the one before the Court. He was obliged to enlarge the cut in order to replace the intestines.' He attended him four days, and as he gradually got weaker, he recommended that he should be removed to the Provincial Hotel. To Mr Laishley : He knew Kinnison, but not intimately. He had seen him under the influence of liquor. He always appeared in offensive until that evening. He was very much excited prior to the stabbing. Thomas M. Philson, M.D., was then ex amined as to the condition of Hunter when received into the Provincial Hospital on the 9th July, which he minutely described. He had ■ received every attention up to the time of Irs death, which occurred at six o'clock on the morning of the 18th July, after n:ne days of intense suffering. He, assisted by Dr Herbert, made a post mortem examination of the body. Thomas Joseph Murray deposed that he was in Mcßae's store when a former witness came in with the intelHgence that Hunter had been stabbed. He went up to the scene, and saw both Hunter and Kinnison, when the latter said he had let Pat's puddings out with his knife, and witness replied, " You have usedacoward's weapon to do so," whenKimii son replied that he had bought the knife for that purpose. Prisoner was much excited at the time. To Mr Laishley : Prisoner was more or less in liquor. He was certain that he made use of fbhe expressions. He subsequently said that Hunter had attacked him, and that he had used the knife in self-defence. He asked the deceased when his wounds were dressed if he should arrest the prisoner, when ha said "No Murray, lam to blame." He un derstood that Kinnison had been cruelly beaten by deceased on a former ocoasion. He had seen Hunter in a quarrelsome mood, also intoxicated. He believed Hunter could fight, but he was not.a dangerous man. Constable Walker, stationed at Papakura, deposed that he took the prisoner into custody on the charge of stabbing with intent, efec, on the Bth of July, when prisoner said that he had done it in self-defence, and that he would do the same thing ac-aih,. He expressed no regret, but, said he had been trampled upon. He knew Hunter for four or five years, ; and had seen him in drink, but never in a quarrel. To Mr-Laishley : He had known Hunter intimately, both at the Thames and at the Redoubt, and could speak positively, as to his general' character. He was not a quarrel some man. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Laishley, in addressing the jury, con tended that what had transpired in the course of the evidence as to the use of the knife and other circumstances should not be taken as prejudicial to the prisoner. He urged that the deed was committed in a quarrel between the deceased and the prisoner at the bar ; and he considered although a deadly weapon have been used, that the crime might fairly be reduced from the charge of murder to that of manslaughter. It was clear that ill feeling had existed between the parties, and it had not been shown otherwise than that the prisoner carried the knife for ordinary uses. It had been shown moreover by one witness that Hunter was given to intem perance, and was of a quarrelsome temper. Prisoner also had on a previous occasion been severely beaten by Hunter, and he was of opinion that Kinnison used the knife purely in self defence being in an excited state, and fearing that Hunter being the stronger man might do him some grevious bodily harm. Considering these facts, and that Kinnison was of a quiet disposition, he would respect fully submit that there were Sufficiently justifiable grounds for acquitting the prisoner on the more serious charge of murder. His Honor then proceeded to sum up the evidence, and expressed his gratification that piisdner had been so ably defended by the gentleman who had just sat down. His Honor then reviewed the evidence before the Court with great care. The jury retired at a quarter past three o'clock to consider the evidence, and re turned at a quarter to four with the verdict of manslaughter. Prisoner on being asked the usual question as to why the sentence of the Court should not be passed upon him, replied that he was J veiy sorry, and had been sorry ever since the committal of the act. ' The Court sentenced him to six ycars'jpenal j servitude. The Court then adjourned until ten j o'clock on Monday next. i Coffee.—Brown, Barrett, _ Co.'s Standard Coffee is oth delicious and strong.

He thought it would be un nec"';' I ./for bin to dcta'n the meeting by mukinf lengthy "remarks upon the re,io i, anil st;' smeni of accounts just read, though he should be most h.tppy to answer aiy ciue~tions wl ich might suggest thein selve to the shareholder.,, and afford any explanation which might bD deemed n^crtsriy, Ldol ing ai the figures before them, he thought the she: c. older.) would a;,rec with the bou-d in thinking that there was every re..'.on for congratulation upon the reult of the operations of the bank dur'ig the past year. They had been able to earn a dividend equal to that paid .'or the previous year, and that, too, u'lde: ex ceptional circumstances, when money hi. d been abund ant' in the' colonic*), and when the rates of interest ruling had been very low, and, consequently, to em ploy mOney profitably ha 1 been ye:/ uiTieuit Under the; c ciicuiiistanccs it wt;(he more t v.t-ying that the bank ha I made a veiy tat'sfacioiy advance in public favoiv, as was shown in the inci__.e .n the no^e cir culation and the deposits. Gci-'g into the deta'lf, he said the c'rcul-tion at tho coi-C.ponding period of the pvev ions year war I"42,100, v\li'l,tfor that now ilnder review it amounted to L'JSO,OOD.

He was happy to say that the explanation", from the ma, ir._ei'_ wi:« en t'vely satisfa ?i ory, rs showing that the matter had not been overlooked by 'them, but that the bu'lion hai ben retained by them in consequence of an expected demand. The ba,nk hnd, therefore, suffered from a plelhovlc til, and al-,0 from another difficulty, nrmely, a rapture of the a-re ement among the vrrious local and other b_nk*i as to the in tern'; lo be pid upon deposits and the dis counts to be charged, and a sharp competition ensued. He was happy to state that the difficulty had been arranged, and that the competition had come to an end, fairly remunerative rates having been agreed upon by the managers of the various banks. The board had very good accounts both ?s to the price of wool and the prospects of the harvest in the colony. (Cheers.) Ah to the future, he thought there was no doubt that there would be plenty of profitable employ ment for the capital of the bank in c-Lcisting with judgment the undeveloped resourccn of the colony. Tin and i-on had been discovered in large and paying quantities and coal had been found both in New South Waler. and Tasmania. The resolution passed at the lait annual meeting had been acted upon, and the rcsrlthad been an increase of over 1,517 shares on the colonial register. This was a most important element, at shown; that the ba'-k was by that means secu Ing the sympathy and co-operation of frienc's in the colony'nthe welfare and prosiie.ity of the ba-k. He concluded by moving the adopt'on of the report; add ac< oitnti. Mr W"I 'am BoMy briefly teconded the motion, con gratulating his fel'.ow-shareholdeis upon the results ofl the year's working. He ob3ei zed that as iron and coa had done so much for England, and that as the coal beds discovered in Australia were greater in- extent than in this country, there could be no doubt as to the future of the Austral an colonies.

I This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock ' stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the ' most inexperienced can operate it without any | previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ] ment by ordinary use. The range of application is ! practically unlimited ; anything that can be worn or I require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. Thie tension rarely requires regulating. From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as efficient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEEN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sowing Machine, antl making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pi-in sewing of every kind it exactly resemb es the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to he«ring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasuie. The arrangement permits of the overseaming or he;ring-boning of any fabric, whatever, and will be found of. immense valuer in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. It selling where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. It is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion.
