NAPIER,

(Prom our own Correspondent), This day, The Omaranui Land Case.

The Omaranni case lasted three days. The case for the plaintiff was that the native re serve was included by accident or design in land acquired by Mr Sutton of Heretaunga notoriety,in 1868. The land was leased first by Mr Braithwaite, the mortgagee, and was next bought by Mr Sutton, including a re serve not included in Mr Braithwaite's lease. Braithwaite'g lease was the basis of negotia tion for both mortgage and the sale. The mortgage was for £500 ; only £150 was due when the mortgage was executed. A short time after the deed of conveyance was executed, the sale of the property was nego tiated for £2500; £1200 was only then due. Mr Sutton gave a deed of covenant to plaintiff's, promising to pay the balance of the purchase money. Mr Sutton kept the deed of covenant himself, and did not register it, as it would preclude the sale to Braithwaite -until the money waa paid to the natives. Mr Sutton sold within two months to Mr Braithwaite, and got £3000 cash. The surplus of the pur chase money was paid to the natives in goods, &c.; no accounts had been rendered to the natives. Sutton estimates the value of the land at £18 per acre, yet never claimed possession for six year?, although he had been living for that period within a abort distance of the land now in dispute. Sutton states he was not aware that the natives were living on the land he claimed to have purchased. It is asserted by the plaintiffs that the title was insecure in 1868, and kept back until a favorable opportunity arose for assert ing the claim. Defendant relies on pos session and transfer of land.

This is the first case to investigate the title to lands purchased from the Hawke's Bay natives of a questionable nature. It has had the effect to depreciate property considerably in the province. The jury retired at 4-30 p.m. yesterday, and the foreman came into Court at six, and stated there was no chance of agreeing to a verdict. The Court ordered the jury to be locked up for six hours. Considerable in terest is felt in the case.

It is rumoured that the jury are divided in manner following : seven for natives, five for Sotton.

The jury gave a verdict last evening affirm ing the legality of Sutton's purchase from the grantees, but, as understood by the plaintiffs, not for the other half. The plaintiffs intend to apply for an injunction to restrain Mr Suttcn from occupying any portion of the disputed land, and will move a writ of fieri facias to terminate the claims held by the separate grantees.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Wednesday. Defective City Drainage. In the Provincial Council, last night, a motion that £25,000 be voted for the drain age of Christchurch and suburbs, to be ex pended by a Board of Commissioners specially appointed, was negatived. The Government opposed it, on the plea that there was no money to spare. The land sales of the past two months realised £30,000 in excess of the Government esti mates. The bad state of drainage has caused an immense amount of sickness. The City Council are powerless to raise more funds, by rate or otherwise.

The Guardian had to gixe op the name of

the writer of a letter signed "^ndor," reflecting on a member of the legal profes sion Copies of the letter had been sent to the Judges. The writer ia Mr Jamea Smith, barrister, and the lawyer alluded to is Mr J- Macassey ; the letter states that the Times obtained information re the Ward-Chapman telegram, in a discreditable manner by a certain member of the -legal fraternity, who was subsequently discovered to have de scended to the consummate business of hiring spies to dog the footsteps of Judge Ward in his private life. The matter has caused a considerable stir.

FAMINE SCENES IN ASIA MINOR.

A correspondent of the Levant Herald writing from Talas on February 26, says :— borne hundred persons from Guemerek alone removed to the neighbourhood of Adana, and almost half of them perished. Of three families, for instance, composed of fifteen members, only three are alive. Now there are in Guemerek more than three hundred refugees, almost naked and on the actual verge of starvation. Many of these having no other shelter for the night, are obliged to sleep in stables and expose*? places, almost without covering. The abundance of grain in the Sivas region, instead of being a blessing to these poor villages, has proved a curse ; because on account of their being under the Sivas vilaet, they have received no help from any source, and have not even shared the leniency of the tax-gatherers shown to other famine-stricken villages. The poor are so despondent that they do not know to whom to apply for aid. lam sure that hundreds would have died if some help had not been furnished through the efforts of the English Central Relief Committee. It is heartrend ing for any one who visits these villages to Bee the suffering, the nakedness, the pallid hue of starvation on the coun tenances. Who knows how many are dying from sickness and misery caused by destitution ? I know three brothers who are youug and strong, but for want of work can only beg from door to door. Those who have long suffered from famine become reduced almost to the level of the brutes. Family ties are disregarded, and men will sell their children for bread and commit the most atrocious crimes, almost without a reproof of conscience. Such moral degra dation is fearful. Yet, while they are in this condition, tax-gatherers and the agents fo multezims are collecting money, beating and throwing into prison those who are not able to pay their debts.

GOOD TEMPLARY AMONG THE MAORIS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star. )

Sir, —My endeavours for the advancement of the Order of Good Templary amongst the Maoris has met with greab success in every settlement I have visited. It is surprising in a great measure the number of natives who have joined our Order in Poverty Bay. I have been left without any help, yet I am under the impression that I have executed so far the task I have in hand. 1 have con fined myself to the teaching of the first part of Good Templary amongst the Maoris, im mediately following a method of my own, which I have gone through on several occa sions during my visit to the Kaipga-Maoris. Presuming there is an opportunity at hand for exerting the attention of the native race to make a quicker progress in the 1.0. G.T., I consider it proper to comply with the Wishes of my friends, and lay before the public the names of all those native chiefs who have joined the ranks of Good Tem plary, with a number of written speeches delivered by me on the East Coast.—l am, &c, Chakles Baron de Thierry.

Auckland, June 8, 1875

Winter Evening Entertainments.—The time of year has arrived for lectures, concerts, and entertainments of various kinds. To aid the{ Good Templars and afford caterers of public amusement every facility, the present proprietors (Messrs Holloway and Garlick) have determined, after the Ist June, to let the City Hall at. much lower rates than formerly. This Hall, the best situated of any in Auckland, and unsurpassed for its acoustic qualities, will be let for ten guineas per week, or two guineas for a single even ing. These low terms prove the proprietors are doing their share towards proving cheap amusement. —Umbrellas are necessary com panions on winter evenings, and Holloway and Garlick, having a very large stock, have resolved to clear them out at unheard-of prices, and have marked down : gents' good silk umbrellas to 7s 6d, 9s lid, 12s 6d alpaca to 4s (3d, 6s 6d ; ladies' alpaca to 3s lid ; silks to 6s lid. Call early on Hol loway and Garlick and secure one.—City Hall, 230, Queen-street,
