RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.— This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., E.M.) • Judgment Confessed. ~T. Mackay v. P. J. Dalton.—Claim, £18 Cs ; bills of exchange. J. O. Barnard v. Dalton Brothers,— Claim. £6 10s.

THOMAS SALT V. C. MADDEN,

Claim £1 Ss.

This was a claim of 2s a week for fourteen weeks' keep of Mr Maddens little doe, amounting to £1 Ss. Judgment for plaintiff.

JOHN GRAHAM V. (.'. UARDENER

Claim £11 7s Gd, services. Mr Hesketh appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Kissling for defendant.

In this case the plaintiff stated that he was a master mariner, and the sum claimed was made for services from Kaipara to Auckland, .'A3 per agreement. He navigated the cutter Sydney for £8, the balance was for other services according to a verbal agreement with Gardner. The vessel has since been sold. He went on a trip to Wairoa, also for machinery. He received £3 13s 6d on ac count of wages, and the balance of £11 7a Cd is still due.

Cross : examined by Mr Kissling : Mr Gard ner is the owner of the vessel. He was not sure whether it was John or Charles Gardner that advanced the money. He did not threaten to put defendant overboard, but defendant threatened to give it him over the nose.

Charles Gardner, the defendant, on being examined, stated that he refused to pay the claim as he had never arranged to do so. He had never called plaintiff out of McLeod's store and offered him moneey. It must have been his brother John, who however was not much like him. He never employed plaintiff to fetch timber from Wairoa. He believed there waa something of the sort be tween plaintiff and' defendant's brother at Helensville. ■He would admit that plaintiff game to Ws house about the matter, but he wa.s. certain he had nothing to do with any money arrangements. Plaintiff had evidently sue'j the wrong man: 'He sold the cutter for hi.s father and brother, who are now in the 7iCaipara.

To, Mr Hesketh : The only partner he had was his! wife* He received freight for the timber, but, as agent for his brother, he had sold the vessel to two gentlemen at the Thames. .

Alexander Rose, of the Customs, proved that the ownership of the cutter Sydney was in the name of John Gardener, and the date of registration was February 13, 1872. Mr Kissling submitted that as the evidence ■was of a very contradictory nature, and he believed the plaintiff well knew who made tho contract with him, and that John Gardner "was the licensed owner of the vessel, he respectfully asked the Court that the defen dant be non-suited. • ■"

Mr Hesketh addressed the Court for plain tiff,' whose story he considered was far more correct and straitghforward than that of de fendant, who was the only man of whom plaintiff bad received any money, and who had' since sold the vessel and got the money. His Worship asked defendant several ques tions as to whom Me sold the vessel, and elicited from him the facts that he had the management of the whole affair, and had not had- any communication with his brother since. His Worship remarked that'defend ant's way of giving evidence was most dis graceful. Defendant was clearly responsible, and judgment must be for plaintiff. Costs £2 11s.

HOLMES BROS. V. THE NORTH SHORE STEAM

FERRY COMPANY.

* Claim £20, damages. Mr J. B. Russell appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr Hesketh for defendants.

This was a claim for damages alleged to hfive been done to the Enterprise, belonging to, the plaintiffs, by the Takapuna, this pro perty of the North Shore Ferry Company, at th 6 North Shore upper wharf, .$Tr Russell at some length stated the case, and considered that the accident occurred through the; bungling of the party in charge of the Takapuna-.i' The Enterprise was lying close to the wharf, and was well-lighted ; one, of the, reasons of the collision was in consequence of the Engineer's negligence of duty, But he believed the Engineer had since been dismissed. jsThomas Clarke, master of the Enterprise No. 1, on being sworn, said : I remember the 29th of April, and the accident which oc curred about seven o'clock on that evening. I left the boat to go to my tea,; the boat was moored alongside the wharf when I left. The diagram marked A on the blue paper shows the position of the boat when I left her. I marie the stern line fast on going away. All herflights were burning brightly at the time. When I came back I founcf the moorings as when I left, but the bow line was slacked as she was driven, iiitp; the pier., I have been employed on the vesseLfour years. About a fortnight prior to the accident the Enterprise had not called at the upper wharf on her night trip's until the Takapuna began: to run. I always left the Enterprise at the end of the wharf, but since she has been kept in her old place. When I came back to the boat I found her sponson broke, and her flooring cut in about 21 inches. I left Auckland at six o'clock that evening, I left no one on board, I went a trip that night and the next day, but not on the day following on account of the damage. We made but two trips after the accident, the vessel could run. but she was not safe. >, It was necessary ;that she should lay up for repairs. I did not take notice of the time it took to repair her; I helped to jiaint her. We painted her and cleaned her, but this could not be called a thorough/overhaul. I know the earnings of the boat. J. took the passenger's money. I do not know whether any books were kept. The weekly ticket-book was kept on board. I cannot tell the takings for April; I cannot recollect. < .

John Landells, on being sworn, deposed that he was a seaman on board the Enter prise, 'No. 1, and proceeded to say, _" The diagram produced shows the position 'of the boat on the evening of the 29th April. j?y ,'J! (Left Bitting.) ~ .-.'■ .. ''■■■■

CLOSING A ROAD IN PARNELL.

For the cause that lucks assistance, . 1 . For the w.ongs that need resistance, '■' ■ And the go od that you can do. (To' the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sl R> —Would, you be so kind as. to publish through your columns a grievance (to the in habitants all round) existing in York-street, Parnell, for the information of the powers elected in the form of a Highway Board. It Beems to me if they can get footpaths made to suit their young ladies and followers it is all some-of them care for. Now, Mr Editor, there is a street leading from Mr Keala's right to St; "Batnabas's Point, through the late Dr Stratford's garden, which has been shut up, and which must be opened to the public. It isT laid , out on all the: original deeds. Further along there was a piece of land, the owner of which could not be found to pa? the rates* and a ceifcftia, individual

got leave to fence it in, and takes the liberty to fence in the continuation of Bath street and O'Connell-street' as well, leaving no outlet whatever. You would think to read the Herald paper the other day he owned it for years. I should like to see his title. If you wanted to go to Captain Ellis's, Dr Dyer's, or any of those houses, you are bound to go round by the front i street. Every one holding property in that locality should see that they have their right, and that is a right-of-way over each and: every one of the streets marked on their deeds. What is the Highway Board for, but to see justice done to the. public ? By publishing the above you will oblige the people (and fulfil your " Motto" at the top), and one who subscribes to your paper.— I am, &c, Ratepayer. ,r,

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

Levi Cockerton, messenger in the Bank of New South Wales, was found lying dead1 when the bank was opened this morning at half-past nine. ' Mr J. H. Booker, one of the, bank clerks, found the deceased lying on the floor in a back room with a duster in his! hand. Dr M. E. B. Nicholson was called in1 ;but could not ascertain the cause of death without making a posl-moriem examination. The deceased had been suffering for some time from a complaint in the chest, and fell down in a fit a few days ago. He was for merly in the 58th Regiment. The remains evidently had not been disturbed, a quantity of loose change being found in deceased's pocket. He had no doubt.fallen down in a fit while cleaning out the bank, and expired. The body was removed to the Custom-house Hotel, where an inquest will be held.

INQUEST.

An enquiry was held at Mr S. Browne's, Custom-house Hotel touching the cause of the deceased's death. T. M. PhilsOn, Esq., M.D., coroner, presided at the inquest. Mr R. C. Mainwaring was chosen foreman of the jury. After viewing the body the following evidence was taken.

Mr J. H. Booker, teller in the Bank of New South Wales, residing at Brighton, Parnell. deposed on oath : I have known the deceased about four years. He was messen ger belonging to the bank. . I saw him last alive yesterday afternoon in the bank. I remarked no peculiarity about him. He had a fit about three weeks ag«, and fell down, cutting his head. He was not inca pacitated from his duties. He has com plained; of pains in his chest and of shortness of breath. He was of perfectly sober habits, was single, and: lived in the bank premises. The circumstances of his death are as fol lows : —I went this morning as usual to the bank, reaching there ,at five minutes past nine o'clock. Outside the door I met Mr R. Gillillan, a brother clerk. The door was locked and not ajar as ia usual. I asked Mr Gilfillan to go round to the back to enr deavour to obtain an entrance to the premises. He did so, and found the backdoor open, and immediately opened the front door. I entered the bank, and knowing that the deceased had had a fit on a previous occasion, went and searched. Deceased was the only person residing in the pre mises. On entering the manager's room I found him lying on his right side, close to the door, with a duster in his hand. I called Mr Gilfillan in, and another clerk who had arrived, and sent immediately for the doctor. I saw that deceased was dead. Dr. M. E. B. Nicholson arrived soon afterwards, and pro nounced him to have been dead about one hour. The body had in the meantime been removed to a bed. There was a little blood oozing out of the mouth when I first saw the deceased. There was a slight abrasion oh the right temple. There was evidence that the deceased had attended'to his office duties, but the fires were not lighted. I sent to the police and Sergfc.-Major Pardy soon after arrived, and made enquires. He searched the deceased and took charge of his effects. The body was afterwards removed from the Bank to the Custom-house Hotel. ~, , ~ , ; Sergeant-Major Pardy, sworn, said: I received information at half-past nine this morning that" a sudden death had, occurred at the Bank of New South Wales. On going there I found the deceased lying on the fioor in the manager's room—dead. There were no marks of violence on the body. He appeared to have been dusting a chair when he fell down.. I placed the body m a bed Dr Nicholson arrived shortly after and pronounced life to be extinct- The deceased was dressed as usual. I caused an inventory to be taken of his effects, which I now pro duce. 'These are in charge of the police. I found his discharge amongst his effects. It shows that he enlisted in the 58th Regt. in 1843 and was discharged m Auckland m; 1853 By the discharge it appears he was 48 years of ago. , He was, a:sergt. in the Ist Waikato Militia. ~,(■,: ' <-~ ~< V'; Mr' j' C. Sharland, druggist,, Shortland- Btreet, proved'that deceased .purchased some rhubarb root yesterday afternoon, and com plained th^t he was unwell, and^hought he, was suffering from indigestion, but had no apprehension of dying suddenly. The jury then waited for the evidence of Dr M E B Nicholson, who was engaged in making a post-mortem examination , Dr Nicholson in his evidence stated that on making a po*t mortem examination he fonnd the deceased's liver very muoh|enlarged, and the brain unusually pale, also both lateral ven tricles filled with serum. His opinion was that death was caused by serous ■'■*V?WVT^ The jury returned a verdict that the de ceased had died from naturalcauses. ;,;

A MODEL LETTER : NOT A LOVE LETTER.

[Advertisement. ]

There is much in 'climate in preserving the vigour of a man's character, and the follow ing letter addressed to two gentlemen in this district by a writer who, as it will be seen admits he is eighty years of age, shows that long residence in New Zealand has not the effect of enervating human passion. It is a pity that the writer could not be induced to go "to the front" and expend his vehemence on Purukutu and his followers :
