Russell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Brookfield for the Company. Samuel M. Baker deposed that he was the legal manager of the Bank of Tokatea Gold j Mining Company, at a salary of 15s per week until the mine should be in a more prosperous state, and read the minute to that effect, He had rendered his services from the 2lst August, 1872, to February 3, 1873, and in October he received the sum of £6 3s lOd. He tendered his account at the rate fixed by the Board, and was not aware till to-day "that his salary was to have been but 5s a week from October, or he should have re linquished the appointment.

The Charges Against C. 0. Davis.

Statement of the Native Chief to Mr. Mackay.

Alleged Conversation be tween Nuku and Mr. Davis. , ~

WELLINGTON.

This day. The following report has been officially deceived by the Government: — On the 21st instant, at Kihikihi. an inter view took place between Mr Mackay and Hopa te Bangaianini, an influential man of the Ngatiamanapotos. Hopa enquired of Mr Mackay, " Who attacked you ?". He replied, "Ruru." Hopa asked who instigated the attack. He replied, "Nuku." Hopa said, " You are wrong, it was Hare Hewiti" (C. O. Davis). . Mr Mackay replied : " Yon must be mis <taken."

Hopa said:"" Not at all, fit was he who set Nuku against you. When Nuku came to my place the day after the last meeting at Maungatautari, I enquired has Davis been to Te Kuiti ? Nuku answered ' Yes ; and this was Davis' talk. He asked me, Nuku, has Mackay been here ?'" ■ Nuku replied, 'Yes.' Davis then said : ' Mackay is a deceitful man; he is te tangata kohura (base plotter). It is he who took the lands of Hauraki from the natives, and his also is the taking of Nga tihaua. If he is allowed to come to Te Kuiti he will deprive you of your lands the same as he has taken those of Hauraki and Ngati haua. I published a document against the -Arawa, and said they should be sent to Hawaiki in Pai Mariri style. The Govern ment and Mackay prosecuted me, and it was only my perseverance and knowledge by •which I escaped. By-and-bye you will be treated in the samemanner by Mackay.' This is what Nuku said."

Hopa te Rangianini then continued "New Mackay, Davis was the cause of the attack on you, as he made Nuku and all the, people think evil of you, and that Te Kuiti lands would be taken if you were allowed to go theFe." ■ , , ' Mr Mackay replied that he had never had anything to do with Hauraki lands ex cepting opening them for gold mining and purchasing for the Government j and,that as for Ngatihaua he had never bought or leased any of their lands either' for himself or others. •

It has also been reported by a gentleman who has been travelling inland from Taupo that Mr C. O. Davis had been speaking in a'disgraceful manner to the natives respect ing Mr Mackay, telling them " not to believe anything he said,"

Sales have been made at 4s 6d ; Christchurch barley, none offering ; butter lid ; f.o.b. cheese Bd. The section of line from Selwyn to Rakaia, with bridge over.Rakaia, was opened to day by the Superintendent. The bridge is 4,480 feet long, and cost £34,350. A distance of thirty-seven miles was run in one hour and twelve minutes.

Messrs Reynolds and Bathgate werepresent at the dinner.

The hon. Mr. Stafford said Mr Moorhouse several years ago pressed upon the Govern jment the advisability of constructing rail iways, but the scheme was not then feasible ■ owing to the crippled state of the finances. He denied that he was opposed to the Pro vincial Council. It was impossible to ignore their existence. When they had the spend ing of large sums they exercised a great effect iupon the interests of the colony at large. The Assembly was rushing blindly into rail ways. In the Council last night a committee was appointed to enquire into the administration of the Waste Lands by the Waste Lands Board. ': The railway to Rakaia will be opened about the first June. The formation is com ipleted to Ashburton, about 50 miles from i Christchurch.

COAL COMPANY.—ANNUAL MEETING THIS DAY.

The annual meeting of the Coal Company 'was held this afternoon at three o'clock. Mr J. C. Firth occupied the chair. • The following report and balance-sheet !were read : — The Fifth Report of the Directors of the Bay of Islands ! Coal Company (Limited), for. the year ending April I o/\ Ift7Jl The manager's annual report gives full information as to the present position of the mine, and the com pany's property generally. As regards any extended operations, involving the outlay of more capital, for the future working of the mine, your directors can propose no plan.until the result is known of the borings which were commenced last year, and are still beinz carried on at different parts of the property, to Sain the extent of. the coalfield. The quantity of coal shipped from the mine during the past year, has h«en 22 383 tons coal, and 6,212 tons slack, making a to*aTquantitffof! 88,686 tons! as against 29,918 tons coiil and slack^ during' the previous year. This I quantity would have beta 3,000 or 4,000 tons more, but for the unusually/heavy and.long continued floods experienced over the whole of the Bay of Islands dis trict, in February last, which put a stop to the com pany's work, till the damage done could be repaired. The" accounts annexed show the result of last year's work which is so far satisfactory as to have enabled the dirlctors materially to reduce the amount of the Bank overdraft, and they hope very shortly to pay it off in full. Two directors, Messrs. 6. B. Owen and James Williamson, retire by rotation, but are eligible for rl-elect on. Two auditors for the current year wm also have to be elected at this meeting, by the shareholders. For the directors. Q chaiman Balance-sheet, liabilities.
