application of Mr Armstrong, for the plain tiff.

EROWN V. ELLIOTT.

Claim £5, for damages. Mr .Joy appeared for the plaintiff, Mr Armstrong for defendant. Mr Joy stated that the "claim was for compensation in damages for an alleged illegal act on the part of the'defendant in taking certain water from a standpipe on the wharf, of which water the plaintiff is the sole lessee from the Provincial Government. He understood that his friend Mr Armstrong wished to settle the matter without the intervention of the Court. At J^e same time he objected to a judgment ne» recorded against his client, while the j^untiff wished the case disposed of by the Court in order that the decision may act as a precedent in future. However, as the plaintiff was now absent, he would under take to settle the matter with Mr Armstrong on his behalf. The case was accordingly struck out. The Court rose at eleven o'clock.

SITTINGS IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr. Justice Johnston.) WIIITAKER and lundon v. graham. In this case, an argument on demurrer, His Honor reserved judgment.

ANGUS V. HEWIN. In this case a rule nisi for a new trial was granted, returnable next week.

THIS DAY.

HORNE V. GRAHAM,

This was an argument on demurrer. Mr. Whitaker appeared in support of the demurrer, and Messrs MacCorinick and Whitaker in support of the plea. The action arose relative to the validity of a deed made by IV'essrs Robert Home and and John Wilson under a power of attorney given them by the plaintiff, James Home, whereby they ceded to the defendant certain real estate for the sum of £50, and a release from £500 debt due by the plaintiff to the defendant. Tt was argued by Mr MacCormick, on a plea, that the release given by the plaintiff's attorney's was a good and solid one. To this Mr Whitaker for the plaintiff, demurred on the ground that the plaintiff attorney's, by alienating real estate, had exceeded their powers. Th.vj case was partly argued yesterday, and Mv Whitaker replied at length to-day. His Honor reserved judgment. WATT V. CENTRAL ITALY G.M. CO. This was a special case in which the plain tiff (Mr James Watt) claimed £125 for the removal of his name from the register of the . Company, he being at the time the registered proprietor of fifty shares. Mr Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Rees for the defendant. The facts of the case, as set forth by plaintiff's counsel are these. The plaintiff purchased from Mr Thomas Nixon through Mr Garlick, broker, on the Sth March, fifty shares in the Central Italy G.M.C. A trans fer for these shares was received at the Company's office, Auckland,, and also accepted at the Thames office, and Mr Nixon's name was taken off the register and Mr Watt's put on in its stead. It was subsequently discovered that the transfer was a forgery, and the Company, without intimating the fact to the plaintiff, struck off his name and replaced Mr Nixon's. About a month after the register of the transfer, a call of one shilling was made by , the directors, and the plaintiff still believing himself to be a shareholder forwarfled a cheque for the amount of the call. This cheque was received, but afterwards returned by the Company to the plaintiff with the intimation that the transfer presented by him had been ascertained to be a forgery, and his name had been struck off. This was the first intimation the plaintiff received of the striking out of his name from the register, and he alleges that the delay manifested by the company in informing him of the action they had taken prevented him from discover ing the author of the forgery, and also from purchasing shares. It was admitted by the plaintiff that the transfer was a forgery, but it was claimed that the transfer having been ac cepted, and his name placed upon the register, the defendants had no right^to remove it therefrom. Another phase Biig gested by his Honor, but not contained in the pleadings, was whether, admitting the right of the defendants to remove from the regis ter what had no right to be there, and had been placed there in error, the defendants had not rendered themselves liable to an action for damage sustained by the plaintiff through their negligence in not intimating to him earlier the discovery of the forgery. Plain tiff's counsel relied, however, chiefly on the pointhad or had not the defendants a right to remove the register after they discovered that it had been placed there by means of a forged transfer, and he submitted they had not.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Si R) _Be so kind as to correct a blunder which appears in this morning's Herald. It is their stated,—in Captains Salmon s ibituary notice,—that when the Windmill was built, he was the builder. I cannot conceive how the writer found out his infor mation, as Captain Salmon [never owned a brick belonging to the Windmill.

Mr Disraeli asked that time be afforded him in order to consult his friends. Her Majesty assented. Mr Disraeli telegraphed to the Earl of Derby, Lord Cairns, and Earl Car narvon, all of whom are on the Conti nent.

The Conservatives hesitate to at tempt to. govern with their minority, and great uncertainty prevails as to the issue of the crisis.

It "s said Mr Gladstone will never again accept office. Mr Disraeli may possibly advise the Queen to ask the advice of Earl Gran ville.

March 15. It is expected that there will be a further adjournment of Parliament.

March IG.
