The case was adjourned for a fortnight, the plaintiff being allowed his expenses. •

A. AND W. CRAIG V STEPHENSON

Claim £14'11s lOd, for work done,

This was a defended' case. Mr Brock appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Meyer for the defendant.

The plaintiffs were tinsmiths, and sought to recover from the defendant (a coffee merchant) the amount now claimed for work done in manufacturing a number of coffee tins, or canisters. The tin was supplied the plaintiffs a,t cost price by the defendant, and the price now charged for the making was alleged by the defendant to be exorbitant, and b.e consequently resisted the claim. John Leaning, jun., and Mr MeDermot, kp>th in the tin trade, stated that they con sidered the prices charged were fair and reasonable. Another witness (Mr Walker) deposed that the plaintiff had charged too much. He also proved that he had supplied tins to the defendant at much lower prices. After evidence had been adduced on behalf of the defendant, the Court gave judgment for £1) 13s lOd, or £4 18s less than the plain tiff claimed. HAE.VIK V. MURDOCH MCLEOIJ. This was a claim for £1410s 4d, for balance -of wages due to the plaintiff. Mr Armstrong appeared for the plaintiff. Mr'Keetley, for the defendant, applied for an adjournment, which was refused.

The case was proved, and judgment given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, with £2 19s costs. This concluded the business.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before P. A. Philips, Esq., Mayor, R.M.)

TIPPLERS.

Win. Moore, Charles Mackinson, and Mary Hobinson were brought up this morning charged with being drunk, and dealt with in the usual way. LARCENY. Mary Smith was charged with being drunk, also with stealing a pair of boots,; value 7s, the property of Patrick Smith, on the 24th ultimo. Three months' imprisonment with hard labour. STRAYING GOATS. James Mulvaney was charged with keeping two goats on an unenclosed piece of land. Defendant said the goats were not his, but belonged to his wife, who had a protection order.

Mr Broham said the defendant must prove this.

Constable Melville stated that the offence was committed, on the 6th instant. He: watched the goats, and saw them struggling through the broken fence. He learned that the owner was Mulvaney, and went to his house, when Mrs Mulvaney told him that the goats were the joint property of herself and hus band. He then pointed out to her the con sequences of keeping goats within the limits of the city, and desired her to get rid of them, which she said she would not do. She would not part with her darling goats for the Mayor nor for anybody else. His Worship commented at lengfcK upon the enormity] of J the offence, and fined the defendant five shillings and costs. Peter Drummond, Patrick Bartley, and John Williams, who severally owned a goat, were fined one shilling and costs each, for allowing those goats to stroll on forbidden ground. "MORE LIGHT." William Philcox was charged under By law No. 1, section 34, with failing to cause sufficient light to be fixed in a proper place by the hoarding in Vulcan Lane from sunset on the 7th to sunrise on the the Bth inst. Constable Gordon stated that the light on several occasions went out at half past twelve at midnight ; that the lamp was radically bad, and the oil of a very inferior quality. His Worship enlarged upon the necessity of keeping lamps burning, so that persons maybe prepared for impending contingencies, and fined defendant Is and costs. HORSES. Timothy Rearden was charged with allow ing a horse and vehicle to remain unattended in Hobson-street without placing a chain on the near wheel. Defendant pleaded ignorance of the law in such matters as an excuse. His cart and horse had stood but two minutes. The constable affirmed that it .was ten minutes. His Worship would not accept a plea of ignorance, as the law had been in force two full years. Defendant was really liable to a fine of 40s, but he would only inflict upon him the mitigated penalty of 5s and costs. COWS AND HEIFERS. Henry Smith was charged with allowing five cows, five heifers, and his bull, to wander in the Kyber Pass road on the 11th inst., contrary to the spirit of the Municipal Police Aqt, ~ . r ■

Constable Clark proved the fact, saw the whole of Mr, Smith's yard stock at per fect liberty in the road, doing just as they pleased.

His Worship thought there was a kind of mania for straying among the various members of the animal world, but as it ap peared some allowance should be made in this case he would only call ttpon Mr Smith to pay 5s and costs.

Thomas Hatilin was subjected to the same penalty for a similar offence, as two of his cows were found in company with Mr Smith's cattle at the same place and on the same day.

A TROUBLESOME PONY. Mr Alfred Buckland was charged with allowing" his horse to stray in Grafton-road. Mr Cornford, for defendant, pleaded not guilty ; the horse had been a very ex pensive one ; he had been securely placed, as was supposed, in a paddock, but broke through every obstacle, and had caused his owner several sums of money for his recovery, and under these circumstances Mr Cornford asked the Court to dismiss the case.

His Worship said that the Court could not possibly accept such apologies ; if these pleas were admitted the Court would never inflict any fines. Mr Buckland must pay a nominal fine of Is and costs.

This was all the business

ST. MARY'S CHURCH, PARNELL.

THE GREAT GTFT AUCTION

We have had the privilege of inspecting the various gifts in the City Hall to be sold to day and to-morrow n u y Messrs Tonks in aid of the fund f Or providing St. Mary's Church Parnell, with an organ and gas, and never on any similar occasion have we witnessed such a variety of fancy goods and really useful household articles brcmght together. Every conceivable object of use and ornament may be seen on the tables of the City Hall. The left hand tier is literally covered with local and colonial produce, to which that side of the hall is specially devoted, consisting of glassware, gingerbeer, coffee, plain and fancy soaps, candles, jams, tart fruits, biscuits, fire-lighters, and a quantity of native plants. The fancy needle-work de partment comprises comparatively, an inexhaustible supply of slippers, cosies mats, ottomans, dolls clothing,, and a hundred other things of every reasonable si2e, shapd and colour. The baby-linen department, or baby-home, as the ladies are bleas&Tto term it, struck us as havihg been filled by the fair workers as a silent but gigantic protest against the population theory of Malthus ; for there are specimens of every necessary requirement of babyhood, from the pretty, purple head-dress down to the little red shoes, and baby toys are therein abundance. Dr Wright's picture of still life overlooks a table filled with cutlery, florida-water, wax flowers, occasional tables of the most exqui site workmanship, hair-ornaments, perfu mery, and crayon-drawings. He would also invite attention to the four-fold folding screen, with its illustrations by Gerard, of scenes of Australian life, and steel engrav^ ings on the other1. We cannot afford space to enumerate the many artistic and useful productions of the Parnellgift sale, but may state that for beauty, taste, and domestic service, it has not been surpassed in this city. Everything is there, from the huge white cat and the Canterbury potato&to the Dorking fowl and the majestic turkey. Two' bands of music will be in attendance, and, considering that the goods of this great gift auction is chiefly the work of the Parnell ladies, whose busy fingers have for weeks past been engaged upon this laudable labour of love, the work fairly claims the practical support of every lover of religion, and the peaceful amenities of social life.
