DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

/Before his Honor Judge Beckham.) KELLY V KELLY.

My J. B. Russell appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Brookfield and Mr Joy for defendant. This was an action brought by Robert Kellv against James Kelly for the recovery o f •waoes'to the amount of £21 5s Bd, and to be due to plaintiff while in the employment of his brother. The brothers had been in partnership together! as proprietors of the Eagle Foundry, but subsequently disagreed, or .Robert said we had iolly row an(^ no Estate, and a set to in the shop." Eobert stated that he agreed on resigning his share in the business to work for his brother James, who was to lie sole proprietor, for eleven shillings a day, instead of which when he got the mastery he offered him 8s a day, which Robert affirmed he could not stand. They parted, and had been at law ever since. The case with its wearisome details will occupy the Court all day, as there are a number of- witnesses to be heard ; and his Honor will probably reserve judgment.

ARRIVAL OF THE CORONET.

WRECK OF AN ENGLISH SHIP,

The brigantine Coronet, Captain Rose, arrived from Tahiti this morning with a cargo of cotton and lime juice, consigned to Messrs Owen and Graham. We are obliged to the captain and chief officer for the follow ing report:—"The Coronet left Auckland on the 11th January for Rorotonga and Tahiti. Had westerly winds and fair weather up to the sixth day, when the vessel encountered a fear ful hurricane in lat. 35.20 S. and long. 173 12 W. A tremendous sea got up and the ship ■was laid on her beam ends for nearly an hour anda-half "on the afternoon of the 17th January. The glass fell to 28.50. Being un able to show any sail owing to the violence of the gale kept her head to the sea by floating out an anchor lashed to some spars with 80 fathoms warp attached. Weather moderated next day towards noon, but was boisterous till three days after wards, after which the vessel was able to steer her course. Thence light and variable winds till reaching Rorotonga on the 18th February. Unloaded cargo and took in cotton and lime juice. Left again on the 15th for Tahiti, and had light easterly weather till about 100 miles from port, when strongwindssetinfromtheeastward. Arrived at Tahiti on the 27th February. Discharged remainder of cargo and loaded up with cotton and cotton seed. Remained till the 25th of March, waiting to complete cargo, and then sailed for Auckland via Rarotonga. Light and'variable winds during passage. Called at Rarotonga on the April 3, and landed passengers and cargo. Sailed the same night for Auckland. Easterly and moderate weather until about half way across, when it changed to very light airs from the south, south-east, and south-west. Passed Sunday Island on the 13th instant. Here the wind veered round to the north-east for sixteen hours, with very liigbjbarometer, the glass showing 30. GO ; made Cape Brett on the 24th; had light S. weather and calms into port. The Coronet passed a whaling barque painted yellow on the lSbh of April, in lat. 31 deg. 44 mm. S., long. 177 deg. 1 mm. E. Next .day, at noon, sighted a large ship bound to the eastward. On the 24th passed an iron barque bound east; she looked like "a vessel bound either for home or San, J'rancisco. Passengers :—From Ta hiti :"Mr Capo, Mr Hammond (second mate of the Durham). From Rarotonga: Mr. Nicholson."

Captain Rose brings tidings of the wreck of the British ship Durham, 1400 tons register, commanded by Captain Hastings. [This is not the Durham which visited this port last year.] It appears that the Durham was bound from San Francisco to England ■with wheat, and on the l4th February ran on shore on the Island of Vairaatea, one of Tonamaton or Pouamaton Group. The island lies very low, and there being a calm sea at the time the nearness of land was not observed by the watch. On the following day the ship floated off, and the captain stood out to sea. He then shaped again ior his destination, but had not allowed for the extent of the island, and consequently ran on shore again the next day. This time time all efforts to get the vessel off proved ineffectual. The captain and second mate, with fire or six of the crew, came on to Papeate, a distance of 700 miles in an open boat, which was accomplished in ten days, with the thermometer at 120 degrees f aht. A vessel was sent down to the wreck, and much valuable property was rescued. The cargo and ship were afterwards sold in Tahiti for me benefit of whom it might con cern They fetched 19,000 francs, or . about £800. The ship was not woken up when the Coronet left, and it was expected Bhe would be got off when the cargo was all out. The Durham was a wooden vessel, and belonged to Messrs Marshall and Co., of London. She makes aer outward voyage to Sydney. Mr flammond, the second officer, is a passenger »y the Coronet to Auckland.

DUNEDIN.

4in* libfel „« ... Monday. teiS sL\ v' Ma^assey v. Bell (of the s ■ fnhas taken a new turn. The

Guardian on Friday morning published the following order signed by Judge Chapman on March 13, made on application of Mr Kettle, i Macassey s solicitor, without notice to defendant : " Upon reading the affidavit of Onarles Cargill Kettle, sworn and filed, and upon hearing the solicitor for the above named plaintiff, I do order that the plaintiff or his solicitor be allowed, prior to the trial hereof, to inspect and take copies of all. original telegrams relating to the subject matter of this action." The Guardian commented strongly on the order, pointing out that if good in law it would create an immediate increase of cypher telegrams, a marvellous diminution in the number of telegrams trusted to the oifice, and consequently in the telegraphic revenue. Mr Kettle applied for leave to inspect all telegrams between the defendant and Judge Ward, and frcm Judge Ward to defendant' 3 attorney, Mr Turton, before the sth of January last, with reference to the action, and obtained an order covering all tele grams.

Mr Kettle -wrote a letter to the Guardian company on Friday threatening to move for a rule nisi to attach it for contempt of Court, attributing improper motives for the publication of the comment, and demanding an apology. This letter was published in the Daily Times news column on Saturday, before the reply of the directors of the Guardian company was received, and as it contains libellous statements it is sure to provoke a warm rejoinder. The public are unanimously for the Guar dian, also the legal profession generally. The struggle on behalf of the independence of the press of New Zealand has been begun by the Guardian, and is likely to be well sus tained. The public are deeply interested in the issue, as the Supreme Court by the order quoted, made the Court one of private in quisition, and should Mr Macassey succeed in muzzling the Guardian he will also make the Supreme Court a court of oppression.
