Mr Brown said his circu»3tanoes would not permit him to pay the whole of the amount at once, but was willing to pay £1 a-week, which was accepted.

j. F. SAUNDERS V. R. H. VINCENT.

Claim, £17 6s Gd. This was a claim for goods sold and delivered to defendant three years ago, but ■who had gone to another part of the oolony witnout paying his tailor's bill acoording to promise. Judgment for plaintiff. W. LEE V. A. MACKENZIE.

Claim, £10 10s. Mr Brookfield appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Brock for defendant. This was a claim for professional services rendered to defendant in 18G8. Defendant -was then employed by the proprietors of the Mercury Bay Saw Mills, where he met with a severe accident, and had four of his fingers jammed. Dr Lee attended him for some time three or four times a day, and his charge (£10) was rather under than over the mark. He would not undertake another such job for £20. He took a deal of trouble with defendant, and as soon as he recovered he left the locality, and he had not seen him since. The plea set up by defendant's oounsel was that the proprietors of the mills ought to pay the bill, as the accident occurred while in their employment. Judgment for plaintiff with costs, £3 lag. A. 35. BABNBS V. T. "SV. MARSH. Claim £2, wages. Mr Thome appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Devore for defendant. Albert Barnes deposed that he was engaged for a month by defendant to act as counter man in his provision store, but after he had been in that position a few days defendant engaged another young man, and the next day told plaintiff that he feared he would hot be able to get through the work of his trade, which was swelling daily, and at the close of the week he was discharged without proper notice. To Mr Devore : His duties were those of a counterman, to weigh up tea arid sugar, bacon and hams, and make out bills for the same. He made one error of a pound, which Mr Marsh pointed out in a very kind man ner, but did not say he was incompetent. He did not recommend P.D. to be mixed with the pepper. He never used sand with the sugar. He would not adulterate goods for any master.

His Worship considered that as it was a question of wages it should be settled. Judgment would therefore be for plaintiff. This, concluded the business.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

Before P. A. Philips, Esq., R.M, DRUNKENNESS. Two inebriated persons were fined 10s and and costs, and another was fined 5s and costs. OFFENCES AGAINST THE LAW AND OOOD ORDER.

For allowing three horses to wander in the New North Road Robert Cundell was fined 10s and costs.

Neil Campbell was charged with allowing his domestic to sweep rubbish on to the footway in Queen street, on the 23rd June last past. The alleged rubbish consisted of bits of paper, a |few straws and a few ounces of dust.

The offence was proved by a number of police officers. His Worship dwelt on the enormity of the offence and concluded by fining the accused la. Michael McCormick was charged with a similar cringe, and was ordered to pay the costs of th%A&se. THREATENING TO SMASH A LIVING BEING. Thomas Hays was charged by John Wilkie Collins with threatening to "smash" him at Newton, on the 31st inst. Mr W. H. Kissling appeared for the com plainant. Mr Joy L.L.B. for defendent, denied that lie had any such intention. The complainant deposed that the words made use of were " Be off, be off you dirty low blackguard, be off or I'll smash you." The witness added that the defendant raised his foot (a large one) in a threatening attitude and said "Be off or I'll kick your guts in." Mr Joy asked the witness whether he attempted to go into defendent's house, and ■witness replied emphatically—"No sir, no, positively no." Mr Joy : Did he not say that if you at tempted to cross his threshold he would knock your guts out. "Witness : On my "hoath" he did not. By the evidence it appeared that a dispute arose owing to the complainant objecting to the defendant keeping a school in his house. A witness, in giving a practical illustra tion of how the defendant kicked at the com plainant, nearly kicked the witness box over.

The defendant said that the complainant (who is a white man) came to him black in the face with passion. He further said he was not a friend of the landlord, as one was an Englishman, and the other an Irishman, and the English had no dealings with the Irish.

Mr Joy asked the Court to dismiss the case with costs.

Mr Kissling, on the contrary, wished the defendant bound over.

The Court, in the exercise of its dis cretionary powe., requested the defendant to enter into a bond for £10 not to smash the complainant or any other man.

This was all the business

MACHATTIE V. LAMB & MACFFAR- LANE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Sir, —In your issue of last evening you say that the editorial foot note attached to the letter " Constant Reader" was written "by one of the lawyers engaged in the defence, and that the manuscript is now before tis and it is in the handwriting of that gentleman." It is a pity that you did not mention the name of the writer, and the circumstance under which the note was written. How ever, perhaps you will permit me to remark that 1, as one of the lawyers concerned for the defence, neither wrote it nor supplied the information to enable any person _to frame it. If the other counsel indited it I venture to surmise ujjon my knowledge of that gentleman that he vfi 1! be able to assign a very good reason for so doing.— Yours &c, Thomah S. Weston,

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Permit me to refer to your paragraph in last evening's Star relative to the Machattie and Lamb case. Y"ou therein refer to one of the lawyers engaged in the defence, and as Mr Weston and myself were the only lawyers so engaged, I deem it my duty to state the facts, so far as I know them, and exculpate both of us from the charges of " surreptitiously smuggling matter into your journal," of "being guilty of acts of im pertinence in using the editor's name." and of " using back door influence in order to approach your columns." I am certain Mr Weston had nothing whatever to do with the editorial footnote : I must therefore be the lawyer to whom you refer, and. the point I took was simply as follows :—Mr Brett, a joint proprietor m your paper, came to me i whilst engaged in the Police Court on Monday morning, and there spoke of a letter to the Star signed "a Constant Reader," asking a question of the Editor relative to the sa"id case. Mr Brett said "we are unable to answer the question, and we think you would give us fair information. I have come, there fore, to ask you if you would oblige us with with the answer." "I said I could not attend to the matter just then, but if he would see me afterwards I would give him all the information in my power." About two hours afterwards Mr Brett saw me at lunch, and as he had not .'.?' a Constant Reader's" letter with him he asked me to call at the Slur office after lunch, and he would show me the letter. I did so about three o'clock p.m., and at a desk in the office, having seen the letter, I wrote in pencil what I honestly believe to be a true answer to it. I appended no signature to it what ever. I did not ask that any signature should be appended. I considered it as merely information to the Editor, from which he might answer the letter or not as he thought proper. I certainly had not an idea that I was doing anything more than obliging the proprietors of the Star. The information I gave was not in any sense volunteered by me, it was sought by your partner. You yourself passed and saluted me whilst I was in the very act of writing it, How could I possibly have supposed that I was doing anything inimical to your wishes, or anything of a mean or surreptitious character. I have been consulted professionally on occasions by yourself and Mr Brett jointly when there was a perfect unity of interest between |you. How, I ask, could I sup pose that in this matter there could possibly be discord ? It is } being industriously re ported in town that I am th? writer of the letter signed "A Constant Sir, this report implies such an accusation ,of meanness against me that I cannot help say ing that I trust I might afford to treat it with utter contempt. But however a man may trust in his honesty of purpose and character, he is never above the reach of calumny. Even you yourself, Mr Editor, have not treated me with ordinary fairness. I should certainly hare expected from you personal inquiries before stjch damaging attacks. And as others may be equally prone to listen to unfotnded state ments, I beg in the most unequivocal manner possible to disclaim all knowledge of the writer of the letter signed "A Constant Reader." I did not write it. I don't know who did Vrite it. I had nothing whatever directly or in directly to do with the writing of it, and do not know nor have I any reason to believe who suggested or insti gated it. I had never hearcj, of it until Mr Brett mentioned it in the Police Court, and never saw it until he afterwards shewed it to me. I add that neither by "back door influence" or in any othe? man ner have I at any time inserted, or caused to be inserted, or suggested, or asked for the in sertion of one word in any public jounjal relative to the case of Machattie and Lamb with the exception of the information I cour teously afforded as I have just stated; nor dol know any person connected with the defence who has done or attempted any such thing. It was not my intention to enter into this controversy, nor should I do so now were it not for your remarks of last night.—Yours, &c, Edwin Hesketh.

rWe entirely exculpate Mr Hesketh in Vhe transac tion ; we made no attack on him ; and as for his con nection with the letter itself signed • Constant Reader," to which the unfortunate foot note was appended, there has been no foundation for the ramouv referred to. —Ed. E.B.]
