SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS. THIS DAY. (Before His Honor Sir, George Arney, Knt., Chief Justice.) LONUDAI.E V. WEBB. 1 8 The evidence in this case, which was an action to recover £271 ()3 Sd on a promissory note, was heard yesterday. The defence was that the bill was purely an accommoda tion bill, and had bean given without con sideration. Mr Gillies appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Rees, with Mr. J. B. Russell, for the defence. Counsel having addressed the Court, the jury retired io consider their verdict, and after an hour's absence returned with a verdict for the defendant on all the issues. MARY ANN STANLEY V. JOHN LAMIi AND 11. V. ANDERSON. This was an action brought by Mrs Stanley widow of the late Captain Stanley, to re cover the balance "of certain subscriptions col lected by the defendants on her behalf. Mr Rees appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr T. B. Gillies for the defendant. Mr Rees stated the case for the plaintiff, and said that Mr Lamb had been chiefly con cerned in the matter, and it was therefore he alone who was being sued in the present ac tion. He said the husband of the plaintiff was in Lamb's employ at the time when he lost his life, and that Mr Lamb had got up a subscription for the benefit of the widow. Various |other friends would have exerted themselves on her behalf but were prevented from doing so by Mr. Lamb's action. Mrs. Stanley had for some months received an allowance out of tie money collected by the defendants, but that had been stopped, and she was unable to obtain any account from Mr. Lamb, although the Rev. Mr. Macnicol, Mr Brabazon, and others had applied to Mr. Lamb with reference to the matter. From the accounts filed by th« defendants in the action it appeared that £G0 19s 6d had been collected, and of this £2S 10s had been spent for Mrs Stanley's benefit, while the rest had been invested in land for the benefit of the plaintiff and her children. He said that since steps had been taken in the present case, Mr Lamb had called on Mrs Stanley and told her that it was in tended to expend the balance of the money collected in the purchase of a property which had a mortgage of £50 on it, and that Mrs Stanley thereupon refused to| agree to this, and said that she would not take upon herself the heavy re- ■ sponsibility of £30 debt which might result in her losing all the money. Nevertheless I the] defendants had purchased the property in question, which Mrs Stanley declined to accept, or to have anything to do with. The defence was that the money waa collected to be invested at the discre tion of Messrs John Lamb, H. F. Anderson and G. Henderson, for the benefit of Mrs Stanley and her children ; and that it had been so invested ; also, that Mr Lamb had at all times been willing to give [an account of the money collected. i Mrs Stanley was the first witness called, and was giving her evidence when our reporter left.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., 11.M.) DESERTING A SHIP. George Brown was charged with deserting from the ship Hindostan, now lying in the port of Auckland, on the 12th instant. Prisoner said he left the ship on Monday, but did not intend to desert the ship ; he got drunk, and was ashamed to go back to i the ship in that state. Captain Peek said the prisoner's character was bad, and he exercised a bad influence on the crew. Sentenced to four weeks imprisonment with hard labour. THROWING STONES. Henry Callaghan, a lad of eight years, was charged with throwing stones in Quoen street, to the danger of the people, on last evening. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Sergeant-Major Pardy said the boy had been locked up all night, and the parents of the lad that was struck by a stone did not wish to prosecute. The boy's mother promised to chastise the boy, and he was dismissed. Arthur Nicholson, a lad of ton, was charged with a like offence on the 31st, and with throwing bottles into the Solid Rock Baths. The boy pleaded not guilty. Arthur Walker, keeper of the baths, deposed that on the 31st instant the boy was interfering with the girls who were bathing, and he ordered him away ; he then commenced' throwing stones and bottles into the bath, to the danger of the bathers. Sergeant-Major Pardy was sorry to say that the lad bore a very indifferent character; his parents instead of checking him set him a bad example. The Court imposed a fine Of 40s, or seven days' imprisonment. JBVENILE THIEVES. James Doriaghey, John Cummins, Stephen Home, Anthony Nicholson, Clarence How son, and Daniel Woods wore charged with stealing and carrying away from the pre mises of Messrs. Henderson and Sprasrgon 40 lbs. of copper nails on the 3rd instant, value £1 ss, the property of the said firm. The boys, on being walked into Court, excited some surprise, their ages ranging from seven to fourteen. Some of the boys pleaded guilty and others not guilty. . •' - His Worship expressed a fear that the parents were culpable, as by their, absenoe they shewed that they did not care whether the boys got into prison or not. The boys, it appeared, were all over seven, and quite eligible for the cat. ' , The charge against the boy Home was withdrawn, partly because he did not seem to be deeply implicated. He was, therefore, placed upon a chair to give evidence against the; others. :•'» •.-'.' l . ' The boy stated that the boys stole the nails, and they sold them to a storekeeper named Worrall, in Chapel-street. His Worship said there was the secret. If there were no receivers there would be no thieves. . : ■ Detective Jeffrey took the lads in custody,, and' live of them admitted having stolen the nails. The discovery was made through Mr Horhe, the father of one of the boys. v Adam Henderson deposed that .he was' continually losing property of this kind j and very recently he had lost no less than 60 lbs of copper nails. ' _ , The nails it was stated were worth Is 3d per pound, and Worrall gave 2_d a pound. Worrall not being present, and, for the purpose of investigating the matter fully, the case was remanded until Saturday. ' MB ADEAN AND HIS BTJTCHEK. Mr George Giles appeared to answer a charge of, assarlting Mr John Adean on the 6th. inst-i > .■, .; , Defendant said he would plead guilty, but wishbd to state that the assault was:eom mittM under very provoking circumstances in connection with a little outstanding bill. M| Adean then rushed forward, and was about to exhibit a show of temper when the Court told him it was quite unnecessary, as Mr Giles had pleaded guilty,

. Defendant was then ordered to cuter into his own bond of £50 to keep the peace for six months. I This was all the business. I _ , ,

CRICKET.

ELEVEN OV AUCKLAND V. EIGHTEEN. _ Tuts anmial match was begun this morning ab eleven o'clock on the Barrack ground. The sides were captained by Messrs W. P. Auckland and Alderton respectively. The match is exciting considerable interest, there being a large attendance of spectators round the field. The eleven is composed mainly of the gentlemen who took part in the late "Trip to the South." The eleven took the bat first, being sent to the wickets by their opponents, who won the toss. The wretchod state of the ground rendered high scoring a mere matter of luck. King and W. Swanson, jun., began the hitting for the eleven, the bowlers opposed to them being Wynard, and in the fourth over Swanson was clean bowled, and King immediately after the latter, without scoring. | THE ELEVEN. !
