tile lan<?j aud interfering with plaintiff hi the quiet possession of the same, also for a breach of the contract on tho part of defendant, and they would therefore, assess such damages a3 in their judgment with the facts before them, .ihey shoiild consider was fair and just. The jury then retired to .consider the evi dence' and returned „t half-past one o'clock with a verdict for plaintiff, damages £1,800, and £10 for trespass. CHITTY V. JOLLY. A special jury was empanhelled consisting of the following gentleman, viz., Messrs W. Hood. G. P. Pierce, R. Lusk, H. Allwright, T King, 8. W. Bill, C. Mcintosh, T. g. Masefield, Robt. Graham, E. Bartley, H. M. JerviSj J. H; Morrell. Mr Robert Graham was chosen foreman; . Thik was an action for false im prisonment on a charge of stealifag a btilbcaif from defendant at West Hamil ton Who wa3 a partner and relative of defendant, and for which false charge plain tiff was taken into custody, or warraut issued by Mr Searancke, and in consequence of which incarceration he, the plaintiff, had considerably suffered in mind; body, and rep'utatioii. The damage were laid at £1000. Mr. Joy and Mr. Rees appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hesketh and Mr. James Jiussell for defendant. Mr. Joy opened tbe case, from which it appeared that defendant sold five calves at 30s. each to a Mr. Wood, a butcher of West Hamilton, and among them there was' the bull calf, which, being rather wild, ran away, jind was found upon the faim occupied jointly by Messr?. Jolly and Chitty. As Mr Wood did not care to take the calf back, bo that, with fuli consent of Jolly, an ex change was made with a Mr Hunt for a young heifer, on the 21st February of last year." The defendant therefore procured a warrant, and had plaintiff arrested on the charge. This was the basis of the present action. At three o'clock the first witness was called to give evidence. [Left sitting.]

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham Esq., R.M.)

MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY ! Mary Fagan, for being very drunk last ni°htj was fined Ss and costa, or the usual alternative. NABBED. John McLean was brought up charged with being a deserter from the British ship Asßaye, on the 17th January, 1875. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to twelve weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. CHABCE OF SMUGGLING. John Harrison, master of the British schooner Dauntless, was charged upon three indictments with breaches of the Customs Kegulations. The 6rst count set forth that the said John Harrison was concerned in un shipping certain dutiable goods, to wit one half cwt. of tobacco, contrary to section 163 of the Act of 1858, thereby rendering him self liable to a penalty of £100, for which the Commissioner of Customs has e'ected to sue. The second count set forth that the defen dant had unlawfully dealt in the same; and the third that he had subscribed a false declaration purporting to be a correct mani fest of the cargo. Mr Brookfleld appeared for the Collector of Customs and Mr Thorne for the defendant. . Defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr Brook field having opened the case, called Mr Hill, Collector of Customs for the Port of Auckland, who deposed that the in formation was laid by him in his official capacity; and that he elected to sue for the full penalty. William Howe deposed: I was chief officer of tha topsail schooner Dauntless last voyage. Defendant was the master on the late voyage to Noumea. That port was left on the 22nd of December. At the time we left Noumea I am certain there was tobacco on board. I should think abou5; 100 lb. I brought it on board on the 19th my self, thinking it was ship's stores. It was in a casa. Jit was left on deck. The Captain and the steward afterwards unsfcowed the case, and I then saw it was tobacco, I had thought it was pickles. Passed four pack ages into the cabin. They were about a foot square. The Captain growled about the casa having got wet The day before we arrived at Russell, a biscuit, case was hauled up from the hold, cleared out, and at four o'clock in the afternoon lowered down into the hold full of tobacco. At Russell Mr Gray, captain of the Ring leader came on board. The case wa3 brought up, and put on deck with other cargo. We took iv coals at the Bay, and the box was afterwards lowered away again. We arrived on the 12th at Auckland. I recollect being roused out at 20 minutes to 12, on the I2th, by the order, "Rouse out to put that case on shore." The crew would not assist. I said I would obey orders. We landed the tobacco at the foot of Albert-street. A man whom I now identify in Court, helped to pull us ashore. I left the captain and man on shore. The captain told me parti cularly to remove all trace of anything having been removed. A marlin spike was left on shore with the tobacco. The captain came on board later on. I asked the captain next morning how he got on ? He said it took him three hours to open the case. He had lost allhis sleep over the job, and would'nt do the same again for twice the sum. By Mr Thorne : I was discharged when we arrived by the captain. It was by mutual consent, 1 was not struck off without my consent. I helped to carry the box on board at Noumea in a boat. I thought it was ship's stores. When it was opened was the first time I knew it was tobacco. Each package weighed 4 or 51bs. It was soft like cut up stuff. I did not see the tobacco but I felt it and smelt it. I was morally certain it was tobacco. While I wis atthe wheel I saw the biscuit case brought up. The biscuit was hove overboard and the case left in the sun till 4 o'clock and then lowered down full of tobacco. I did not see the tobacco. When the case was removed on the night of the 12tb, and we. got back it was in reference to some luggage which had been disturbed that the captain told me to remove all traces of the removal. By the Court: The captain gave me the case at Noumea.. I only thought it was pickles, because the steward told me so. Axel J. JHerman, a seaman belonging to the Dauntles?, said : I did not know there was any tobacco on board when we left Noumea. On the day before we arrived at Russell, I recollect the biscuit case being called for. The ' biscuit was thrown overboard; it was maggotty. The case was left on deck. I did not assist in putting the case in the hold. By Mr Thorne : Did not sco anything put into the case after it was cleaned, out. .Knew nothing of any tobacco being ©n board. By the Court: I do not know what be came of tbe case. Mr William Bishop Bailey said, I was cook and seaman on board the Dauntless. I do not know whether there was any tobacco on board after leaving Noumea. I recollect a case being broken open on deck the Satur day after leaving. I and the mate helped to passlthe contents down into the cabin. There ™%*? veral P^*ges. Xdo ™>t know it 2™Sv& Ih T Baid ifc ™ tobacco By Mr Brookfield : Recollected the bis cuit tin, being brought up. Upon ml oath I did not take those packages and put ?hem into the case The Jast witness, Herman! Herman assisted to hand i. out of tho cabin.

His Worship ; An information for perjury should be laid against the last witness. Mr, Brookfkld i It shall bo done, your Worship. Examination continued : I lent a bsnd to haul the case out of the cabiD, on the night of our arrival. The case must have weighed 50 or GO lbs. It was put into the boat, and the captain and inatfe went ashore With it. When the case was unpacked afte* leaving Noumea I saw the packages ; they were packed in paper. I did not perceive any smell from them. I do smoke. The boards under tho captain's beith were easily moved.

-By Mr 1 home: Had the packages con tained tobacco I should have smelt it. They were hard packages* about six or seven ihs a piece ; there were about it dozen of therm

By the Court : I did not attempt to make tarts Out of the packages. George Jarjksou deposed : I was supercargo on the last voyage of the Dauntless. I cannot swear that there was any tobacco on board when we left Noumea. Do not recollect any conversation about tobacco with the Cap tain. Knew that there were some packages on board in paper but cannot say whether they contained tobacco or hot. I lent the Captain some money at Noumea. It was in the charter party that I should advance him money for ship's purposes. I lent him other money. He did not say what it was for. Saw the invoices at the agents offices about four or ■ five days before leaving. Ihaveiea3on for believing that tobacco was on board from what the mate^eaid and from what I saw in the in voices. Recollected telling the agent I did not want to see the invoices of what the captain brdugbt. It was no business of mine how he spent, his mtiney. Saw the biscuit case on deck. Did not know what it con tained. It had not been there long. I think it was shifted, because ib contained biead full of weavels.

By Mr Thorne : The amount of tobacco mentioned in the invoice I saw was a small amount. I cannot say bow much it was. There were other articles mentioned on the invoice. Playing cards among other things.

Chas. Rowe, shipping clerk of the port of Auckland, iodentified the entry inwards of the schooner Dauntless. There was no to bacco mentioned in it.

This was the case for the prosecution. } Mr Thorne asked leave to recall the witness Bailey.

This was allowed, and the witness de posed : He had two relos of tobacco in his possession when leaving Noumea. They had been given him by the Captain. Mr Thorne then addressed the Court for the defence.

His Worship having summed up, said he did not think he should be doing right if he did anything else than inflict the full penalty of £100 and costs, defendant to be impris soned till the sum was paid. To the second and third charges defendant pleaded guilty. For the offence of dealing in the to bacco, a fine of £25 was inflicted, the magistrate mitigating the penalty under the 202 nd section of the Act. In reference to the 3rd charge, his Worship said it wa3 the most important of the three, and could only be adequately punished by an infliction of the full penalty. Defendant was then removed in custody. Before leaving Court Mr Brookfield in structed Sergeant-Major Pardy to lay an in formatian for perjury against the witness Herman.
