Sayased was unfit for the ears of the said ifc was a way he had of /. h his horses. \\: LfVo^V" sted that McCaslin "-'-•<*<! own tongue. a fine jolly woman, . —w*< ygft* , Jsed that on Saturday ~,<: usSoitftf. ■ She got up at six o'clock iii one morning, and found McCaslin's cows on htr allotment. IShe drove them out with a bit a baik, when McCaslin shook his fist at ber in a terrific manner, and called her names which made her tremble. She was indeed afraid of him. His curses upon her and all she possessed were fearful in. the extreme. But ber cabbage had not withered under McCaslin's ban, but her well had gone dry. She had pulled him up once before on a similar charge, but at the suggestion of Mr Bussell she forgave him. She never cursed his bacon nor anything that he had.

Miss Mary Beffernan, daughter of the prosecutrix, a fine young woman of fair Saxon ccmplexioD, got behind a peach-tree and heard McCaslin's curses. She corrobo rated her mother's statement.

George McCaslin had a vivid recollection of the circumstances. He was slumbering in bed, when he was awoke by the voice of his wife, who screamed into his ear that Mis. Heffernan was breaking his cows legs. He jumped out of bed at once, and said, "By golly, I will lock her up." His Worship : Lock who up, the cow or Mrs Hefferman ?

0, your Worship, Mrs Hefferman, of course. He did not swear at her. She was in the habit of makiDg Atmt Sally faces at him (laughter). His Worship : Did the faces hurt you ? Oh Lord ; no your Worship ; but they were orfully ugly ; he did not like 'em nor did he want his cows legs broken.

John Brown, in the employ of McCaslin, gave evidence. A good while ago, he beard Mrs Hefferman say that she would have her revenge on McCaslin, and be down upon him some day. That's all he heard, she never threatened to kill him, nor shave him ; he had heard his master use rough language, speaking of Mrs Hefferman as of the number of the cows.

Ann McCaslin, defendant's wife gave evi dence; she peeped out of the window at early morn, and saw Mrs Hefferman throw a biilet of wood, and an axe at the cows. Her husband did not insult Mrs Hefferman ; he was of a gentle turn of mind.

His Worship said there was evidently a bad feeling among the party, and it was a lamentable thing to see neighbours, who should be friends, living in such an unneigh bourly manner. He thought there'had been great fault on McCiaslin's side, and Mrs Befferman had stood in great jeopardy. McCaslin must find sureties, himself in £20. and two sureties in. £10 each for three months. Mr Devore announced that McCaslin would now bring an information against Mrs Befferman for using language of a similar nature towards him; in consequence of which McCaslin feared thab his days on earth were numbered, aud his cows liable to fall by her irrisistable hand.

(From onr own Correspondent") This day. Value of Land. , la consequence of a large quantity of land being forced into the market for Bale as building allotments, the demand has been lessened and prices hare fallen very per ceptibly. Some go the length of asserting that land in the city has reached its maximum Value a few months ago. The Half-million Windfall. Touohing taat nalf-millioa yarn. It is still believed in and harped upon. The very latest explanation of the Government denial is put tans :—" B They were quite right in contradicting the story that they obtained half a million, because they really obtained only four hundred and ninety-three thousand pounds, the other seven thousand being a necessary sacrifice."

The Resignation of Mr. Pox. The Post discusses the merits and claims or the three candidates for the seat vacated by Mr Fox.

DUNEDIN.

(From oar own Correspondent ) This day. _^ Unseemly Lawyers Squabble ggThe caie Garrick v. Pvke occupied the attention of the District Court during the entire day. Some evidence was most amus ing, but the proceedings were characterised by nnseemiy quanelling between Mr Barton aud Mr Haggit, the former continuing to harp upon an article in the Guardian of the sth, condemning certain prrctices by a lawyer here.

Mr Haggii said he would not submit to being charged with authorisation, and told Mr Barton to hold his toDgue. Recrimination followed, culminating in Mr Buton saying Haggit; had called him a damnable scoundrel, which the other denied, and Mr Haggit said if Mr Barton continued insolent to him he would kick him. Funeral? iieform. The Funeral Reform meeting was unani mous. The committee have entered into a contract to conduct burials at four to ten shillings. The only opponent to the proposal which discountenanced mourning costume was Mr Cargill; who, on i>s being cairied, refused to join the Association. All the clergymen here have given in their adhesion to the movdmenH. ; City Voting. In the Municipcil Ordinance it is proposed to extend the hours of voting from 9 to 4 to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Ship in Quarantine. The ship uamam is to be admitted to pratique on Monday. Protest Against the New Judge. The Times referring to the rumoured appointment of Mr J. S. Williams to the judgeship of Otago says: —"Mr Williams may possibly possess, hereditarily or by acquisition, all those faculties andattain ments which go to make a good judge, but so far he has given no proof of them, and if latent they wili have to be developed by time and experience. Impartiality, uprightness, and a painstaking disposition are qualities which we are sure Mr. Wiliiams possesses, but that an inex perienced tyro in the form of combat, one unused to the ways and customs of a Court of Justice, should be vaulted from the quiet post he now so well rilled into the most important and responsible judgment seat in the colony is an absurdity so stark that we feel bound to protest vehemently against it. We hope ere long some official announcement will put a speedy end to the widespread feeling of anxiety which the uncontradicted rumours now current have very naturally occasioned.

FATAL GUN ACCIDENT AT NORFOLK ISLAND.

By letters received front: Norfolk Island, we learn particulars of a dreadful gun accident which occurred there on the 10th instant, the. day the ,cutter .M a.oic arrived. —Thr>e men started in the' morning from the settle ment in,,the direction of Mount Pitt, the highest -point ofthe island, for a pig-hunt with guns and dogs.,, One of ;the party-,was called " Cornish," a nickname for Cornelius, and another Fysh Adams, a son of Mr. John Adams. On passing through some Ihiok bush the latter was walking behind Cornish, who had his loaded gun over his shoulder. Suddenly the lock was caught by a bush lawyer, and before the bearer ..could free it the barrel exploded, lodging its'contents in the lower part of. Adams' right side. ,A most dreaful wound was the consequence, from which the : bowels protruded. The snffeier died within an hour of the accident. The funeral took place next morning. He was universally respected in the Island, and leaves a widow and three young children to lament his loss. The event has thrown quite a gloom over the little community. —The in troduction of messles is ascribed to the call ing in of the Dido, which brought two passengers.
