SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS

Yesterday—Continued. (Before His Honor Sir George Arney, Knt., Chief Justice.) THUS. KIKK V BROGDE3T AND SONS. Jobn^ndley and John Bell, two workmen, werei' lively examined, and corroboyfttoa

; portions of plaintiff's evidence, but did not materially strengthen his cause. Mr MacCormick. who appeared for de fendants, moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that there was no written agreement be tween the parties. His Honor declined to nonsuit plaintiff. Mr MacCormick then opened the case for the defence, and called Mr Lackland, who was formerly employed by Brogden and Sons as manager of the rail way works.

Mr Thomas Lackland deposed that he received a telegram from Wellington to send masons, quarrymen, and carpenters to that town. His evidence was in direct con tradiction to that given by Kirk, the plaintiff. He did not tell him that his wages were to be 14s a d»-, and 11s a day during the passage ; nor dra. he tell plaintiff that Mr Webster would make out an agree ment on. these terms. James McCabe also denied the statements of Kirk, who was very anxious to go to Wellington. At this stage of the proceedings, it being half-past six o'clock, the Court rose, and the case was adjourned.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock

The case of Kirk v. Brogden «nd Sons was resumed this morning ; Mr Rees for plaintiff, and Mr MacCormick for defendants.

James McCabe proceeded with his evidence : There is no fixed method of engaging masons or others by the firm ; men can leave if they like, and the firm discharges men if they do not answer. Payments are matters of arrangement by the month or otherwise. He had no instillations beyond the telegram from Mr Lackland ; nor was 14s a day spoken of before plaintiff went to Wellington.

Cross-examined by Mr Rees : He was in Kirk's house on the Friday evening previous to the Monday when he went to Wellington, He remembered Mrs Kirk's crying that night. Tom had that day been jolted out of a truck and bruised his arm. He cheered Mrs Kirk, but did not remember telling her not to cry, for Tom was going from lls to 14s. He did not think he said to Tom "You ought to shout," because he had fallen into a good job; but Tom did shout. They went to the Royal George to gethor. He thought it was a good job for Tom, as work was getting scarce, and he might have a better chance down South. He had heard that Messrs Brogden made contracts with men in England to come out here for a fixed period of time ; but he did not know of his own personal knowledge. John Walsh, the next witness, deposed that he was a mason, and still in the em ploy of Brogden and Sons. He remembered the time of Kirk's going away, also about conversing with him on the subject previously. He advised Kirk not to go upon such loose terms, when he replied he would chance that and go to Wellington. Alexander Edgar remembered McCabe coming to the cutting near the tunnel at the time, and stating that some good men Avere wanted at Wellington, and that was a good chance for some of them, when a man named Murphy enquired about the rate &f wages they were to receive, when McCabe replied 9s or 10s a-day for good men. Kirk was present, and witness was positive that he heard the words.

John Scott, labourer, was employed on the works in June last, and knew James McCabe who came up to him and others, and said there was a telegram from Wellington, and masons and labourers wero.wantingthere. He was working by the side of Kirk. He further stated that the wages would bo nine or ten shillings a day, and find your own tuoker ! He heard nothing said said about fourteen shillings a day. Mr McCormick then addressed the juiy, contending that this action was brought to recover damages for wrongful dismissal, and, even should the verdict be favourable to plaintiff, the amount of money he could claim would be comparatively small, simply com pensation for about four months' wages. Mr Bees occupied upwards of an hour with hia speech for plaintiff, and at 3.25 his Honor commenced to read over the evidence, and comment upon the case.

Carpenter v. Carpenter. — Divorce Case.

In this case the following special jury was empannelled :— Messrs. G. M. Mitford, R. J. Taylor, W. Baker, Edward Bartley, Philip Herapath, Geo. S. Jakins, Joseph May, Allan K.
