Me would not appear there again, and intended to leave the town "if he lived that long." His Worship discharged the men with a caution. A SCANDALOUS OFFENCE. Alfred Carroll was charged with assaulting bis mother. The Ser»eant-Major stated that the assault was a most brutal one, aud accused's mother was too ill to appear.

RYAN AGAIN. _ Elizabeth Ryan was charged with a breach of the city by-laws by depasturing two cows on unenclosed land off Barrack Hill. Mr Beveridge appeared for the defence. William Mulville, constable, deposed that on the 17th inst. he saw Mrs Ryan's coWs grazing on unenclosed land off Barrack Hill about nine o'clock in the morning. He saw a little boy drive them down the gully, leave them there, and go away. He went to Queen-street to get another constable to help him to take them to the pound. On returning they found the cows still there. The defendant appeared, and asked them to give up the cows. __~_. Cross-examined by Mr Beveridge : He had a good idea whose cows they were. He had seen them before. He did not see two boys there. When he came back the little boy ran down from the top of the hill. By Sergeant-Major Paidy : If the cows had been going in the direction of the Domain he would not have interfered with them. Mr Beveridge said it wa3 useless for him to attempt to defend the case, as the boy who was sent with the cows under order to take them to the Domain had run away from Mrs Ryan, and he ccould not produce him as a witness. His client had already paid five shillings to take the cows out of the pound. - Sergeant-Major Pardy stated that there W&s an impression that the police had a down" on Mrs Ryan, and watched her. It was quite the contrary. He had himself often warned her and told her to tako the cows from off the land in question. His Worship said they could not make one law for the rich and another for the poor. These cows wero becoming a serious nuisance. He would impose a penalty of 203 and costs. This makea the twenty-first conviction since 1870.

ASSAULTING A CONSTABLE. Mary (a Maori) was charged with assaulting Constable Naugbton. , . Sergeant-Major Pardy stated that they did not know whether the woman was in her right mind or not. She had run up Queen street, and rung the fire-bell. When the constable went up to stop her, she assaulted him.

SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS

THIS DAY.

Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knight Chief Justioe, and a special jury. His Honor entered the Court at ten o'clock a.m.

STOVIN V. THAMES GOLD MINING COMPANY. - Mr Hesketh for the plaintiff, Mr Whitaker and Mr McCormick for the defendants. The f oUowing gentlemen were sworn of the special jury :—James Lackland (foreman), Messrs Mahoney, Herepath, R. Lusk, H. Partington, Dyer, G. Lewis, H. S. Meyers, Batger, H. EUis, T. C. Morrin, Seccombe, This was an action to recover £200 by way of damage to the plaintiff caused by the alleged wrongful removal of his name from the register of this company as tbe holder of Beven shares. The facts were very simple and very few. The plaintiff described him self as a mining agent, and in tbe month of August, 1871, was the owner of seven sbares. About that time shares in tbe company were value in the market for £26. On tbe sth of September, when the name of the plaintiff was aUeged to be removed from tbe register, the market price of Thames shares was stated to be £28 each. Tbe plaintiff also held.sbares in a company called the f Christmas Box Gold Mining Company," and he was in the habit of dealing with a sharebroker named Herbert Vicars Stevens. About tbe middle of August|the plaintiff, according to his evidence, gave to Stevens two transfers to enable bim to sell " Christmas Box" sbares. These were blank; that was to say tbe body of the transfer was not fiUed in, but tbe «ame of the mining company was at the top of the paper, and the signature of the seller at the bottom. The witness could only believe that Stevens took off the works "Christmas Box," and put the word "Thames" in the place of tham. The sug gestion made by the plaintiff's counsel was that the broker sold these Thames shares, in consequence of which the plaintiff's name was removed from the register. The issue waa whether the. plaintiff bad ever given authority to sell these Thames shares for him, and the turning point of tbe case was the examination as to ■whether the plaintiff had ever given authority to Stevens to sell these shares. He denied that he authorised Stevens to sell any shares at this particular time, except the " Christmas Box" shares. It was stated that the next day after Thames shares were sold, and the plaintiffs name removed from the register, that Stevens

ran away from the colony under circum m" /stances which occasioned a good deal of pub- T .lie comment at the time. The plaintiff was vWamined as to the above facts, which he "deposed to, but was subjected by Mr Whit aker to a most severe cross-examination with a view to test his ability under any cir cumatances to identify his signature. [Left sitting. Jjj

MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.

INVERNESS GOLD MINING COM-

PANY (Registered)

The annual meeting of shareholders in-tins company was held at noon to-day, at Mr 1. L. White's office. Canada buildings, Mr George Thorne, Chairman of Directors, pre siding. The following report was read. DIRECTORS' REPORT. Your directors in presenting their usual annual report to the shareholders regret that the results of the past year's operations have not been encouraging. At the; lato annual meeting it was thought that the com pany might reasonably anticipate aprosperous year, but the hope has not been realised, During the first three months crushings were frequent, and the returns payable, but from that time the results were not equal to ex pectation, and finally became so poor that the directors judged it expedient in the in terests of the company to suspend work, and on the 7th of May last the manager was in structed to discharge all bands and close the mine It is, however, the opinion of, the late mine-manager--whose long experience in that portion of the field should give weight to his views — that there must be a- barge section of the mine which only requires thorough developmenttogivepayable returns. But the outlay incurred having up to this point resulted souiisntisfactorily.tliedirectors did not feel justified in making any further call on the capital, or in adopting the second course open to them, of letting the mine on tribute, before obtaining an expression of opinion from the shareholders at this meeting. During the year 74.') tons were crushed, which yielded 6850z. sdwt. 12gr. melted gold, and the sum of £217 8s 5d was received from tributers. The statement of accounts ap, pended shows a balance against the company of £56.1s Sd, made up of Bank overdraft £6 19s Id, and unpaid accounts £40 2s 7d. It will be necessary to elect two directors in the stead of Mr Thomas Dixon, disqualified, and Mr A. Beetham, resigned, and also an auditor for the ensuing year. Geo. Thorue, Chairman of Directors. - The balance-sheet shewed tbe expenditure for the year to havo been £2313 12s 4d, and the receipts, on account of gold and tailings sold, £207117s 7d. The balance at Company's debit, made up of bank overdraft and unpaid accounts, was £56 Is Bd. ; I The reports were unanimously adopted. Messrs J. T. E. Rogan and J. F. Clark were elected directors in place of those re tiring, and Mr C. Alexander was appointed auditor for the ensuing year. A discussion towk place as to future operations, and, it was resolved, "That the directors be re commended not to take any steps in work ing the mine on Company's account, or let ting tributes, for the present."
