SARAH TISHER. Claim£4 5s 6d, goods. - . Mr Laishley for plaintiff. • , . -1 .plaintiff,, a grocer, deposed that he had supplied* defendant with her suger, tea, 'butter, etc., on-her stating she had certain means of paying, and was in receipt of ten shillings a week from one'of her sons, and five shillings weekly from another. His Worship said this evidence did not skew that Mrs Fisher was in a position to pay, and the, sons may not give her those amounts. Mr Laishley said that defendant had been, obstinate in the matter or the case would Jiave taken a different form, r |: .Mrs Fisher was then put into the box, and Lgtated that she had not been in a position to pay the demand since. The judgment sum mons had not been taken out. She was housekeeper to her sons, and was not in the receipt of money beyond housekeeping ex penses. Mr Laishley said that Mrs Fisher's son would have settled the matter this morning had Mrs Fisher not interfered. Hia Worship said that.-, he felt that the Court would not be justified in imprisoning Mrs Fisher. He would recommend that if it -can be proved that defendant has made false statements respecting her means that she should be prosecuted for the same. The Court could not interfere further. GEAVES AICKIN V. W. W. TAYLOR. '■ Claim, £3 4s 9d. The defendant in this case, a gentleman ; from.the Bay of Islands -, was not able to:be present; the case was therefore, at the re quest of Mr J. B. Russell, adjourned for a fortnight.

THOMAS JENKINS V. JOSEPH JAMES HOE. Claim, £1 17s. Mr Hesketh appeared for plaintiff, and Mr .ij, B.Russell for defendant. "Mr Jenkins, collector of rates for the Ponsonby Highway district, deposed that he had been on the property rated, and seen Mrs Hoe; but defendant refused to pay, on the : plea that he was not. eligihle for the rates, not being the owner of the blocks rated in his name, although he had been paid Tor three years previously •by defendant by the said Mr Hoe. y To Mr Russell: The property was in ■ Dublin-street. The map of the land was here produced and it was found that there was an error ) in the description of the property, and that Mr Hoe had long paid for the Dublin-street pro ' petty.'

'• ! This was a claim for highway rates for the district of Ponsonby, in which defendant /had acknowledged and previously paid £7 3s 2d, but he denied his indebtedness for the balance of £1 17s 6d, on two allotments, which were not his. Mr Laishley said that Mr Jones had been put to grieat annoyance in this matter, and he was anxious that the public should be made aware of the unsatisfactory manner in which rate collecting business is done. Mr Hesketh said he would accept tlie . £7 3g 2d as paid into the bank by defendant. _ Mr Laishley asked for full costs in the matter. • Mr Hesketh said that under such circum stances if his learned friend pressed for costs he should certainly press for the £1 17s B.d which Mr Jenkins was willing to forego, and get it of the tenant. His Worship'said he could not order costs without going into the whole case. Mr Jenkins then went into the witnesi box and produced the; rate-book, and said that Mr Jones' name was down as owner of 69 and 70 allotments, and the name of Mr F. Winter was down as occupier of the same. That he had applied to him, but be could not say positively that Mr Jones personally had paid all the rates. Mr Winter had paid rates for the allotments; l and. Mr Jones had told him that he was the owner. . Mr Jones offered him a cheque on Saturday last for ■£7 3s 2d, but as ,: he could not take it, Mr Jones paid it into the Bank of New Zealand- Mr Ridings proved that the allotments were bought with others by Mr Jones in 1859, but he could not shew that' they were tJt 8 ptoPerty of Mr Jones. - Mr Stannus Jones was sworn, and denied that he was the owner of 69 and 70 as specified, nor was he the owner when' the present rate was struck. Mr Boardman was we proprietor and occupier of the allotments. Be had been Chairman of the Ponsonby High way Board for several years, and was well sicquamted with the properties. There were «reat Irregularities with the Board in their Wa7 oi doing business. . Mr Laishly contended that as Mr Jones was neither the occupier nor the owner of the land that he was not responsible,- and the case must fall through. The rate-book Was simply; prima facie evidence, and his; °* It J? Passing the case upon the attention1 j*™ 6 Court was that it might be treated oythe Court in a fair, just, and equitable1

..^Hesketh having addressed the Court, JJ vv? rship remarked that the case was a .JJJ7 simple one, and that according to the j™™-..0f .the superior Court, as defendant naa not-appealed against the rate at' the Proper time, it renders this Court compara bly powerless in doing other than giving * 3udgment : for plaintiff in the sum of £7 3s £. jooß*B, Defendant had, no doubt, who i B -j 'as ifc W(Md sbow that persons he )_ 1 j not take advantage of appeal would acid responsible for the rates. .

SUPREME COURT.

AUTUMN-CRIMINAL SITTINGS

(Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney, Chief Justice.)

THIS DAY,

His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock. I INFANTICIDE. Minnie Garlick, a young woman aged 22, was arraigned .upon an indictment charging her with causing the death of her infant on the 21st day of March last, in Auckland. Mr Brook field appeared on the part of the Crown, and Mr Joy for the prisoner, who pleaded not guilty. Mr Brookfield opened the case, and^stated the circumstances.

James Wheeler, boarding-house keeper, was sworn, and deposed that prisoner entered his house as a domestic servant on the 23rd of February last, and on the 21st of March, upon going into the kitchen, he observed blood upon the floor, but did not take particular notice of the circumstance. On the following Monday the prisoner was ill and unable to do her work. His sus picions were aroused, and he made a search and found the body of a new-born infant in the well, which was eight feet deep, covered over with a piece of old matting beneath a quantity of ashes. He gave information to Sergeant-Major Pardy, who proceeded to the well and removed the body into tho house. Ann Wheeler, wife of the last witness, corroborated her husband's evidence. She suspected that prisoner was enciente; but when she spoke to her upon it she denied that she was so.

Jessie Bell, widow, nursed Minnie Garlick, and in course of conversation prisoner in formed her that the child was born at six o'clock on the morning of the previous Satur day, and that it cried once ; she also told her that the father of her infant was one Charles Letty, a sailor, who came out with her in the Woodlark some twelve months previously, but that he was now on a voyage to Nelson.

William Stone Pardy, Sergeant-Major of the Auckland Constabulary, deposed that, upon receiving information from Mr Wheeler he went to the premises in Coburg street, and found the body in-the well, as described by the^ previous witness; He removed the body into Mr Wheeler's, house and sent, for a medical gentleman* prisoner made a state ment to him respecting the paterhitly of the infant, and denied haying used any violence towards it., lA'l.-. Detective Jlf^rt'Ternahan mgavwcCorrobo; ratine. evidei_S&i rt , .-.He/assisted-in getting" the child out of the^well.-" 7 X' iy •' l •.«•"*«- y-. John Eqbjnsbn-.NicHolson,Aa'duly qualified medical practitioner of Auckland, stated that he was called to see prisoner at Mrs Wheeler's on the 23rd March, and found upon examination that she -. had re cently been delivered of a child, which prisoner admitted was the case j she buried the child shortly after its delivery in the well. She then informed him of all the particulars of the case ; the body was shown to him by Sergeant-Major Pardy and Detective .Teriiahan, which was that, of a full-grown <;hild. He noticed marks on the throat, which appeared as though caused by the .pressure of a thumb and fingers. He held a post-mortem examination on the body, and found extra vasation of blood under the marks in the throat. Dr Nicholson then described) the appearances of the heart and lungs, and other internal parts of the body, and was of opinion that the.child had been naturally 'born, and that respiration had been fully established. 1 Dr. Charles Goldsbro', of Parnell, a duly qualified medical pro'ctitioner, could, not say whether, or not the child had a separate existence. He was present at the post mortem examination, and should say that the cause of death was either suffocation or strangulation. To Mr Joy : He did not agree entirely with Dr Nicholson's evidence. • A woman might take hold of several parts of the body; of a child in the act of self-delivery, which de pends upon the positions he was in at the time, which no evidence had beenproduced ; before any satisfactory conclusion could be arrived at the position must be known.

The proprietor has in consequence caused his TRADE MARK to be Registered under the provisions of the "Trade Marks Act, .1866," and proceedings will be taken against such persons as may forge or counterfeit such mark. The public are cautioned to ~ ASK FOR OLSON'S SAUCE, and see that the name is Stamped on Bottle and stopper, and wrapped round with his well-known label.
