the l".V> 1* first asked him who had set fire tt J. bush. Prisoner replied he did not know*". He then'accused him of the deed, saying there was no one else who could have done it. By Mr Joy: Prisoner told him that some of his own things were burnt in the wha re The evidence beiug read over, Mr Joy ad dressed the Court for the defence, contend ing that possession of the shingles had not been proved. His Worship was of opinion that Mr Joy's objection was fatal to tha case, and a fresh information would have to be laid. This was at once done, and the case will come on again to-morrow morning. A charge against a sea captain, of using threatening language to his chief officer, was also postponed till the morning. LARCENY. James Jones was charged with stealing £8 17s from Fred. W. Marter, on the 18th January. Mr Inspector Broham asked for an ad journment of the case till Wednesday the 21st instant. His Worship granted the application. ASSAULT. William Javnieson appeared on a summons to answer a charge of unlawfully assaulting Isaac Levy on the 15th January, 1874, by 'catching him round the throat and trying to strangle him. There was a counter charge of assault, in which the positions of complainant and defendant were Jreversed. The first case being called on, Isaac Levy, whose nose bore trace of at some time having been smashed, deposed that on the 15th inst. there was a dispute about ■ some things which he was hanging out near defendant's shop, which joined his. Some time afterwards defendant met him outside the shop, when defendant asked him to come down the passage, a3 he wanted to show him something. He went down the private entrance to Jamieson's house, when suddenly defendant caught him by the throat, and said '' now he would shew him what he wanted with him." Defendant's son pulled his father off, telling him he would get into trouble. Enoch Richards, complainant's assistant, deposed to meeting Mr Levy running awaj out of the passage. He was very excited, and declared there were two of them trying to throttle him. James Jamieson was called to give evidence for the complainant against his father. His evidence, however, tended to show that the assault lay rather with Levy than Jamieson. Levy was always making a noise. Mr Thome asked that judgment might be deferred till after th» hearing of the other case.

His Worship suggested that each party enter into bonds to keep the peace for six months.

Eventually this course was adopted, the costs of the suits being divided.

This concluded the business,

SUPREME COURT.

CIVIL SITTINGS,

THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Sir George Arney, Knt.,

Chief Justice.) -~ His Honor, took his ssat at ten o'cl'oek,

THOS. KIRK V BROCJDEN AND SONS.

In this action the declaration set forth that the plaintiff, "Thomas Kirk,_ a stone mason was engaged in June last by Mr McCabe, an overseer in the employ of Messrs Brogden and Sons, the well-known contractors, to proceed from Auck land to Wellington to do certain work as a mason at the race of fourteen shillings a day wages, including a free passage to and fro, and eleven shillings a day during the passage ; that plaintiff went according to instructions from McCabe, and commenced to work, but after some weeks' employment Kirk was dismissed without reasonable notice. He now sought to recover for wages and loss of time. Mr MacCormick appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Rees for defendant, g

James Kichard Davis, acting manager in Auckland for Brogden and Sons, deposed that he succeeded Mr Lackland in that capacity. He was engaged by Mr Hender son, but had no authority direct from James and Alexander Brogden, only through Mr Henderson, to represent th« firm. The names of the firm are Alexander, James, and Henry. He believed there was no John Brogden. He superintended the works carried on between Auckland and Mercer. It was customary to send hands when re quired from one part of the province to another.

Thomas Kirk, plaintiff, deposed that in June, 1873, he was working for Messrs Brogden at Parnell. He knew Mr McCabe, who spoke to him about going to Wellington in June last. He saw Mr Henderson sub sequently af Wellington. From arrange ments made with McCabe he saw Mr Lack land at the Albert Barracks, and had some conversation with him about a contract respecting his going to Wellington. Mr Lackland agreed with him verbally, and informed him that he had received a tele gram, and that he was to go to Wellington. And he was informed by Mr Lackland that masons' wages were fourteen shillings. He relied upon the statement, and took his wife and family down. He did not bother about anything further as he believed implicitly on the word of Mr Lackland, and, went accordingly, and expected his wages when his work was done. He was promised a free pas sage for his wife and family. McCabe put his hand upon his shoulder and said ' 'that's all right, go on and make your way to Onehunga ; there's no time to spare. Mr Webster, at Onehunga, will give you an agreement." His passage was paid by the s.s. Wentworth. He understood that he was engaged by Mr Lackland for Brogden's. He did not bother about it—did not think about it. He went to do certain work for a certain amcunt of money, and expected to be paid. He was only asking for his rights. The engagement was for six months. The pay clerk only gave him 10s a day, when he complained to Mr Henderson, who promised to see that he had the difference. He took the 10s, or his wife and family would have been starving. He went to.Mr Buckley, solicitor, and stated his case, but Mr Buck ley said he had better get: tip to Auckland as soon as possible, see McCabe, and get a settlement if possible. He did not waive the agreement ; he was in Broaden s hands, and took what he could get. They insulted him by telling him if he did not accede to their terms lie might go about his business. He fell sick during the progress of the work and went into hospital. When' he returned to his work he was told by the foreman to go about his business.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A fatal accident occurred at the- -Break water about dusk last night. Mr William Blyth, master of the cutter Leader, which was lying al on side, was proceeding from his vessel towards town when he lost his balance, and fell into the water. Two boys at once gave the alarm, which was heard by<- Messrs T. Henderson, G. Henderson, and Hopkins, who were re' urning from the yacht Spray in a dinpf*' ■■> ey at once proceeded to the spot,!.L;l. r^p *-iDJ»>*?1v '^tlw. jumped into the \ the Freal

water with his clothes on and dived for the body. He was unsuccessful in the hrst two attempts, but at length brought the remains of the deceased to the surface. The body was taken ashore in a boat belongiug to the ketch Clematis, and every possible effort to restore animation was put forth by Dr M. E. B. Nicholson, who had been promptly sent for, but without success. The deceased was unmarried.

INQUEST ON CAPTAIN BLYTH.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Terminus Hotel before T. M. Philson, Esq.) M.D., coroner, and a jury, on the body |of Captain Blyth, of the cutter Lender ; T. C. Halliday, foreman. The jury having viewed the body, Robert Mellon gave evidence to the effect that on Sunday evening last he was on the Breakwater, and hearing a scream he ran to the spot where he saw a man struggling in the water, trying to keep himself afloat. He sank, and did nut rise again. He gave an alarm, and among those who came for assist ance was Charles Hopkins, who jumped into the water and brought the dying man to the surface, and took him to the cutter Fannie. Dr. MarkE. B. Nicholson was immediately sent for.

Charles Hopkins deposed that he was re turning from the Spray when he learnt that there was a man overboard. He jumped into the water und dived, but could not dis cover the body. He then dived in another direction without success, but the third time he picked up a pocket handkerchief, and bubbles coming up at the spot he dived down at that spot, and found the body, and brought it to the surface. It was then re moved to the dead-house.

Hopkins, in answer to the Coroner, said he had saved four lives lately thimigh diving, when Dr. Philson remarked that he really deserved a medal, and he should take care that his conduct was represented at the pro per quarter.

Sergt. James Baker was then called, and gave evidence.

Dr Mark E. B. Nicholson, Patrick McAn anie, and Albert Kunst having given evi dence, the jury returned a verdict " Found drowned."
