SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

CIVIL SITTINGS. {Before His Honor Mr. Justice Gillies, and a Jury.)

HUTCHINSON .AND ANOTHER V. MARSH BROWN KAWITE. Mr Hesketh for the plaintiff and Mr McCormick for the defendant. This was a suit to recover £500 damages on account of alleged breach of contract for the purchase of gum at Waiomio, Bay of Islands.

To try the case a special jury was em pannelled, of which Dr. Campbell was ap pointed foreman. Defendant had paid £20 into Court as •compensation. The issues submitted to the jury were, First. Is the sum of £20 enough to satisfy the claim of the plaintiffs ? Second. What sums if any are the plaintiffs entitled to recover from the defendant ?

Fpom the declaration and the evidence, the following summary of the facts is arrrived at:—On the Bth of last December an agree ment was draw up between Mr Hutchinson, who is a gum buyer at the Bay of Islands, and Marsh Brown Kawiti, a "well-kuown Maori chief, for the former to have sole pro duce ofa'gumfield at Waiomio at £27 per ton (besides a royalty or bonus) delivered on the field for the first fifty tons, before the 10th of December, 1875, and at a price not less than £13 per ton lower than the price quoted at Kawakawa for any quantity be yond. The day after the agreement was drawn up several additions were introduced, and it was re-signed. On the 10th rumours reached Mr. Hutchinson that Kawiti did not intend carrying out his share of the agreement. A meeting between the parties ■was held at Waiomio, when Kawiti in formed Mr. Hutchison that he had sold the field to another party at a higher figure. ,Mr. Hutchison insisted that the agree ment should be carried out and tendered £200 as earnest of his intention to fulfil his share of it. Kawiti would not accept this, but said it had better be left in the hands of Mr. Charles Goodhue till some arrangement was made. Defendant had made no overtures for carrying out the contract and hence the present action. Defendant admitted the agreement but paid the above mentioned £20 into Court as satisfaction of any loss sustained by the plaintiffs. Evidence was given by Mr. Hutcbinson, Mr. Charles Goodhue and Mr. Thomas Hanson.

The evidence given turned principally upon the price of gum. The witnesses swore that the gum from the Waiomio field was of exceptionally superior quality and was to be well scraped. The field had not been worked before. As to price, Mr. Hutchinson deposed that he could get £50 per ton for such gum in Auckland at the present momemt. Three weeks ago he had refused a bonafide offer of £48 per ton for gum not so good. If a man was in difficulties he had to quit at a lower figure, but an independent man could always get as good a price. On Mr McCormick cross-examining Mr Hutchinson as to the present price of gum. His Bonor said he thought such cross examination was irrelevant : the accepted rale was that compensation for breach of contract must be fixed according to the price of the commodity at the time of the repudiation.

Mr McCormick quoted a case Roper v, Johnson against thi? theory. His Honor said there might be special cases where the rule did not hold good, but they were rare. Mr. Hutchinson gave the following as the quotations for ordinary gum during the last nine months :—ln December, 1874, £45 per ton; in March, £38 ;ia July £30; and at the present time £35. Latterly the quota tions of the London market had been good, but those of the American market very poor. The price of first quality gum did not fluc tuate much.

Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Hanson agreed in their evidence as to the reason given by the defendant for non-completion of the agreement, which was that the other pakeha to whom he had ulti mately sold the field, owed him £1190, and he was afraid that if he did not get the gum he would baJcaru, or " bust up." Mr Hanson gave evidence that at the meet ing when the agreement was signed there was every indication that defendant meant to carry out the agreement. He even brought a I bottle of brandy to clinch the bargain. (Laughter.) Mr MaeCormack declined to call any evi dence on the other side, but proceeded to address jury in mitigation of damages which he maintained would be fully satisfied by the sum paid into court: Mr Eesketh having followed, His Honor Bummed up, and the jury, having consulted together, returned a verdict for the plain tiff, damages £245. His Honor certified for a special jury. PINING AN ABSENT JURYMAN.

Mr. Charles Burt, a juryman, was fined £5 for non-attendance. Mr. Burt appeared Qnriijg the case aed excused himßelf, but his excuse was not admitted.

The Court adjourned at 1 30 p.m. until to morrow, when the case of Macfarlane v. Lockhart will come on.

SNYDER'S NEWS SUMMARY.

" Snydsb," in the last issue of the Coro mandel Mail, reviews the state of the world in general, and concludes that the earth appears to revolve on its axis in a state of muddle. From his dissectation on this im portant topic, we make the following ex tract :—" We turn to England, the centre of the world's civilisation, and what do we find there ? We read of a " npble" lord causing a little girl to be sent to gaol for three weeks for gathering a few sticks for her aged mother who is in a decline and on the point of death. We turn to the obituary notices and we find four old men who had died and willed away to people who had already more money than they will probably ever spend—a sum in the aggregate reaching a million and a half. These men died comfortably no doubt. If a bath of calves foot jelly or vapour from liquified gold would nave prolonged their miserable lives a few brief minutes they would have had it, though on that day a woman and two of her children were found starved to death in a garret. We read here too of large failures where the widow and' the orphan have been betrayed by men in whom the v-orld held up as patterns of probity and rigid, unflinch ing, and uncompromising viitue.

When Rome fell and Greece waned and became a byword among nations it is recorded of these two empires that about the same thiug came to pass as it is now with Eng land. There are hearts which neither Sankey Moody have been able to penetrate or sojten, We pass to other countries and we find Carlists and Alphonists and the Spanish provinces perpetrating the bitterest retali ations and cruelties towards each other. France is preparing to be revenged on Ger many ; and Germany under a tyrannical Emperor and blood-thirsty ministers are reducing the people to the verge of destitution by turring ploughshares into swords; by withdrawing men from their farms and vineyards and homesteads to compel them to become soldiers that they may kill and wouiad and torture their fellow men accord ing to- the most scientific principles of the day. War is a glorious thing. Ask the soldier with a bullet lodged in his groin whether it be not so. While all these things have come to pass or are happening we the good people of Coro mandel live content nestling at the base of pleasantest hills or dwelling high up among them, with butcher's meat down three half pence per pound, for cash on delivery bread of full weight, the Tokatea dividend money not all spent.

CEMETERY DRAINAGE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —In your issue of Friday there is a letter from "W.8." which is calculated to mislead the public, and, knowing so, I feel it my duty to contradict it, not as regards Mr Belcher's bone mill, which " W.8." com plains of—but there he should leave off, and not try to make his fellow-citizens believe that the drainage of the Roman Catholic Cemetery runs into our reservoir, and that, when the water comes into the town from from our new works, they will be drinking particles or essences of some departed fiiend or distant relation lying in the said Roman Catholic Cemetery ; for, if Mr Belcher's drainage would empty itself there, the grave yard drainage does so also —so says " W.B" Now if Mr W.B. must be labouring under some delusion, or he is speaking from hear say, or I am sure he would not say what he does, but if Mr W.B. will take the trouble of walking the course down from the three mile post by the bridge he will find out his error. The gulley he mentions empties it self undoubtedly into Motion's creek, but at a considerable distance lower down than the Springs, which are a different source alto gether, and on a much higher level : there fore, no fear of drainage. Ihere is no doubt that it •will be troublesome enough to pay for the water when it comes, but for the public to pay and to fancy it had a grave-yard taint would be a cruel piece of business, and a stigma on one of the most beautiful springs in New Zealand. , Any person doubting this statement should see for himself. It is a nice healthy walk, easy distance, and would give an appetite for [breakfast. —V. Bla grove.

CAUTION TO WOOL GROWERS AT THE CAPE AND AUSTRALIAS.

We take the following from The Commission Agent, a commercial journal : - Some years since, the Bradford Chamber of Commerce issued a circular to growers of wool, calling their attention to certain practices which prevailed in some parts in connection with the winding and getting-up of wool. The Council believe that the ciicular has been the means of effecting considerable reform; but ( as during the past year several cases have come before the courts in which growers have been Bued for damages arising from false winding, &c. (i c , inserting in the fleeces cots, washed locks, dung, clags, and other substances), which have been decided in every case against them, the Council think it advisable again to call attention to the neces sity for proper care in washing, clagging, and winding. It is besides extremely desirable that flock-masters should be careful not to clip wool in wet weather, when it is not thoroughly dry, as if wound in that state it deteriorates greatly if kept for any length of time. Shearing is also often carried on in places containing chopped straw and chaff, which get mixed with the wool, causing great trouble and damage in the process of manufacture. An improvement in these particulars would be of direct advantage to both seller and buyer, and, in the face of keen foreign competition, it is only by the cordial co-operation of the producing with the manufacturing classes that this country can hope to hold its own."

AUCKLAND TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.

Hit: membeis of the Teachers' Associative met on Saturday afternoon in the sch< 01-room of Mr». Shayle George, Sj monds-street, Dr. Roberi Kidd in the chair, for the pnipoee of discussing the quiation " Vvhat U the best method of carrying on the Association in future ?''

Taylor offered a room for the use of the association ; Mr. McMunlo of Wangarei suggested branch sssociptkns, while Mr. Harrison and iMi-s Haselden were desir< us of seeing the society progress. Mrs. Davis of the North &hore, wrote a letter expressive of her sympathy with the objects, and was anxious that a library of standard works should be established if possible. Mr Bailey sent in a Bet of rules which he had drawn up ; Mr

i eonard also hinted at a few alterations which he thought would tend to invigoiate the society. Mr. Worthington considered that if Mr. Leonard's sugges tions were prac-ically carried out the society would continue to exert a beneficent influence. Mrs George and Mrs Harden agreed with the last speaker, Mr. James Martin proposed an organising master for the province. Mr. Leonard promised to open the new essay season with a paper on "The best means of Improving the social status of school teachers in New Zealand." A picnic was also discussed, which will either be held at Sir George Grey's island or Ellerslle The next meeting will be held on the 3rd .November.

DR. CAMPBELL AND THE PIAKO LANDS.

Dit. Campbell has telegraphed to the Chair man of the Piako Grant Title Committee, Legislative Council, shewing that the land in question, for which a title was obtained under the Land Transfer Act, by a declaration alleged to be false, was pur chased by Mr Mackelvie during his (Dr. Campbell's) absence from Auckland, and that the firm held a Crown grant for it. He says :—" On Mr Mackelvie's retirement from the firm, the whole of these properties with out exception were submitted to auction on the 30th August, 1871, and Mr Russell became the purchaser of this block. The deeds were handed over to Whitaker Russell for the preparation of the re quired title in favour of Mr Kussell. In stead of taking customary title from existing Crown grant and conveyances therefrom, the declaration to have tbe title under the Land Transfer Act, was placed before me by Whitaker and Russell for my signature. This was given (as also, I believe, by power of attorney from Mr Mackelvie to me—his signature) as it would have been given for any other land held from a Crown grant having a clearjjtitle and in hona fides, believ ing that every statement set forth in that

declaration was literally true, and in utter ignorance that there was any reason what ever why such a declaration should not be made. I most emphatically deny having any previous knowledge whatever regarding this land, or having even the faintest suspicion that the Crown grant was not as good as any other of my Crown grants, clear of all doubt or claim whatsoever, and the land open to be taken possession of and occupied in the usual manner, And, in this belief, the land was handed over by me to be sold by the auctioneer, and I proceeded to the execution of the title when demand was made. And this is all and whole I know or ever did know." Dr Campbell very reasonably protests against the language used in the committee's report without any inquiry regarding the circum stances under which the declaration was made.

CITY COUNCIL WATER SUPPLY.

The City Council has printed for public information certain clauses of the Corporation

Waterworks Act 1872, affecting the public liability in connection with the water supply. Under these clauses persons are prohibited from supplying or permitting any one to take water who is not supplied by the Council, under a penalty of £20. Water rates must be "paid at intervals as appointed by the Council, which| has power to cut off the supply from those in arrears and levy the cost of cutting off together with the amount of rates due upon the defaulter. It is the duty of the council on the application of any owner or occupier to lay on service pipes to his building at the expense of the owner or occupier, but the applicatien must be accompanied by a deposit sufficient to cover auch cost. The tap or stopcock must be siipplied by the occupier and kept in good repair so that the water shall not be wasted, under a penalty of £20 The clauses contain various other important conditions.

The Grahamstown Murder.

In a second edition particulars of the in quest on the two murdered children will appear.

WANGANEI COAL.

It is with great gratification we learn of the success of the effort to develop the coal mine at Wangarei. A few working miners from the Thames, strong in faith and in determi nation, made the attempt, and as we judge from the advertisement in another column have attained success. Ten shillings per ton for coal delivered at navigable water shows success, we think ; and as by Christmas it is anticipated that the wooden (temporary) tramway will be completed from the pit's mouth to the shoot at the water side we are told that a considerable reduction on even the 10s may be expected. We heartily commend this coal to notice. It is excellcnc of itself, and|| it is the product of the pluck of a few brave-hearted, working men. On these grounds, we ask our friends to give it a trial,confident that it will hold its footing when once known. Mr Sloane, of the Queen's Ferry Hotel, is agent.
