RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.— Yesterday.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) HOLMES IiKOS. V. THE NORTH SHORE STEAM

PERRY COMPANY,

Claim £20, damages. Evidence con tinued : —

.Tames Holmes, one of the plaintiffs, de posed to the extent of the damage done to the boat, and the loss by detention. The receipts of the boat during the month had been £90. Could not tell the expenses of the boat per day, nor the receipts for each day. Books produced, but it -would require a long time to make up the amounts from the entries. Claimed £3 per day for detention. Supposed 30s per day might be profit. The hands were all employed while she was laid up. Was laid up for fivo days. Peter Holmden, a passenger, deposed that before the accident the Takapuna had fouled a warp off the patent slip, and that after the accident the captain shouted down to tho engineer that he had made a mess of it. J. W. Filder, a passenger, deposed to the circumstances of the collision. Had heard the orders "stop her," "back her," and " go-a-head " before the crash occurred. John Nearing, manager for the Messrs Holmes, deposed that the Captain of the Takapuna had offered to make good some of the damage. A survey had been made. Cross-examined : Could not tell the earn ings of the Enterprise. Did not know her daily or her weekly cost. Believed she was paying her way. Did not know what profit she was making. For the defence Mr Heskoth called Edward Topham, who had been engineer of the Enterprise at the time of the collision, who deposed there was no one on board at the time. He and the Captain and mate had gone to tea, leaving the red and green lights burning; did not see the bright light at funnel head ; was the first to report the accident; the Enterprise had been moored in front of the wharf, not at the side as was usual when the Takapuna was running and the Enter prise waiting. Had been told the day before the acoident by Mr Holmes to stop a leak in the engine with waste, and that the boat would be laid up in a day or two to repair the boiler and engine which were in a bad •tate. The boat was laid up after the ac cident for five days. During all that time, even on part of Sunday, he was working at the engine harder than ever he had done in his lifa before. During these five days no thing had been done to repair the break in the sponsons. - Cross-examined : Had not been dismissed for drunkenness. Had not been dismissed at all. Had given notice himself, and left voluntarily, because it was always growl, growl, growl. John McDougall, master of the Takapuna, deposed : On the night in question had eased gteam to get clear of hawser off patent slip ; had then gone slowly a-head. On seeing the red light thought it was a light frequently put on tank by Holmes' to direct .their steamers. Finding it was the steamer's light had stopped engines and reversed, and the engines were going full speed astern when the vessel struck. Had expected the Enter prise to be round the end of the wharf, in her proper place, and not in front. Would have come alongside properly if she had not been there. Had done all he possibly could to avoid a collision. The green and red lights of the Enterprise were burning, but there was no bright light at the funnel head. There waa no one on laoard the Enterprise. Had been in the habit of coming to this wharf this trip ; had always done so when there were passengers for Flagstaff. It /Was in accordance with the time table as I 1 ifflxed by the Harbour Board to call there at 1 ••* that hour. Had done so about four or five times a week during the previous fortnight. Did not say to the engineer "You have made a mess of it." Captain Burgess, Chief Harbour Master, deposed: The usual and proper place for boats to lie when waiting is inside the end of the T. They should land their passengers in front, and then lie round the corner. The position of the Enterprise at the time of the collision was not her proper place. She had no right to have red and green lights burn ing when waiting at the wharf, but should have had a bright light aloft. It was con trary to regulations to burn a red light on the wharf at any time to guide steamers. From what he had heard thought McDougal had not used sufficient precaution. Cross-examined : This opinion is only from what I have heard. Neil Smith coroborated the evidence of McDougal as to the engines being backed and going astern when she struck. Had thought the red light was that of the Enter prise, and that she was round the end of the wharf in her proper place. McDougal had done everything that could have been done .to prevent a collision. The way of the boat ■was nearly stopped when the red and green lights were (burning on the Enterprise, and no one was on board. The bright light was not burning aloft. After the collision he looked for this particularly, and saw the light was not there. Can swear this posi-

"VV. S. Cochrane, a passenger, deposed that he was below at the time, and scarcely felt the collision ; thought that it Was an ordinary bump against the wharf. Saw the red and green lights on the Enterprise* but not the white light at funnel head. William Brown^ of Sims and Brown, ship builders, deposed i Wftß a passenger on the Takapuna, and below at the time. Did not know that there had been a collision until the next day. Saw the extent of the damage and the repairs effected, They could have been done in one day by two men if the boat was laid up for that time. Could have been done at night without the vessel laying up. This concluded the evidence.

Mr Hesketh contended that the plaintiffs were guilty of contributory negligence in four degrees. The boat was in a wrong position. She had no bright light aloft in accordance with the Harbour Regulations, and she had a red light burning contrary to these regulations, and which had misled and caused the damage ; and in addition, while the boat was in this dangerous position, the hands had all abandoned her, leaving no one in charge. He also contended that when the position of the boat was discovered, every effort by stopping and driving the engines full speed astern had been used to avoid collision.

Mr Russell contended that the accident had been caused by the negligence of the master of the Takapuna.

His Worship reserved judgment till next Court-day.

INQUEST.—This Day.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the New Caledonian Hotel, Symonds-street, be fore T. M. Philson, Esq., M.D., Coroner, and a select jury, on the body of Maria Randall. Mr David Olphert was chosen foreman.

The jury having viewed the body of the deceased,

William F. Walker, cabinetmaker, was called, and deposed: I live in Newton Road. As I was passing along the Ceme tery Road yesterday morning on the way to my work I noticed what I thought was a bundle of clothes lying under a tree. I went to see what it was, and found it to be the dead body of a wo man, on her back, with her head towards the scoria wall, almost naked, opposite a break in the wall of the Wesleyan cemetery. I met a Mr Carley, and wished him to sea Mr Clark, the constable, and report the case. I told my father, who is the gravedigger, and went towards Queen-street to meet a constable. I did not know the deceased, nor did I see any marks of violence on the body. I could discover no tracks by the spot where the body lay; there were no signs of a struggle hav ing taken .place. I have seen the body to-day, and recognise it as the body that I saw yesterday. To a juryman : The clothts appeared to be spread out, and not in a disordered state. Andrew Clarke, constable in the Armed Constabulary, stationed at Newton, on being gworn, deposed as follows : —At eight a.m. yesterday Mr Carley called and reported the case to me. I immediately went to the spot, and found the dead body of a woman destitute] of clothing, with nothing on but the wall. I looked at the body j there was a her boots. Her face was inclined towards little blood on her nose. I observed no foot marks near the spot, which is cjvered with grass. Her clothing was beneath her (pro duced), consisting of chemise, petticoat, skirt a»I old shawl, hat and pocket handkerchief. 4 sixpenny piece was lying beneath the body. The clothing was all torn, and apparently stripped off violently. A number of persons were present. I then went for Dr. J. R. Nicholson. 1 knew deceased by sight, and found out her name afterwards. I had the body removed to the hotel where it now lies.

Mary Ann Randall, daughter of deceased, stated : My father's name is George Ran dall ; he is -working at the North Shore, and is a blacksmith by trade. I and my mother, the deceased, lived in Abercrombie-streefc, my father came home once a week. [Left Sitting.]
