SUPREME COURT.—IN BANCO.

YESTERDAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies,

JONES AND WARE v. BROGDEN AND SONS. The argument in this case was proceeding when we.went to press yesterday. After argument by the learned counsel, his Honor said it now became his duty to direct the arbitrator upon tho points of law raised. The Court was of opinion that the 2000 yards of ditching mentioned in the specification must be taken to mean the 2000 yards shewn on the plans, but it could not be deemed a reasonable interpretation that tho contrac tors were also to do tho unascertained 2000 yards without charge. The cattle stems were defined in the specifications, but the plain tills wore entitled to payment for extra stops. The defendants were bound to make allowance for additions and alterations caused by them, and the arbitrator would give due weight to the claim. As to whether or not plaintiffs were entitled to recover for increased proportionate cost of large material, the Court considered plain -1 ills bound by the schedule prices, and this question must be determined by taking the rough average price of timber or other material, and charge upon the computed average of the number of yards etc.

THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) JONES AND WARE V. BROGDEN AND SON.

The time of the Court this morning was taken up in an argument, on a question of Liav arising from the arbitration in the second action between the above parties. Mr Hesketh as before, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Chapman for the defen dants.

The question Avas whether the plaintiffs were entitled to a share of the sum allowed to the contractor by the Government, for stream diversions, in the proportion that their portion of the work bears to the whole contract;

Mr Hesketh in a lengthy argument main tained that the plaintiffs were so entitled, irrespective of any calculation as to the actual number *of stream diversions which occurred in plaintiff's portion of the work. The sum alloAVcd by Government was a lump sum, and the plaintiffs were clearly entitled to their share.

His Honor : "Would you, supposing tho whole number of the diversions came in your client's part of the work be content with the proportion you now claim. Mr Hesketh : Certainly, your Honor. His H6nor : (laughing) I am afraid your contention would bo different under those circumstances.

Mr Hesketh maintained that the risk Avas the same in both cases, and therefore the benefit should he the same in both cases, the work might be less, or more than pro portionate to the pay. Mr Chapman took up the argument on the other side.

After Mr Hesketh had replied, His Honor .said (his was a contract in which the plain tiffs had agreed ro do certain work, and to bo paid at a schedule rate of prices. In the reckoning, the computation of the Govern ment engineer Avas to be accepted aa- to what amount of work had been done. He should hold that the sub-contractors 'were only entitled to be paid for what work they had actually (lone.

Mr Hesketh called his Honor's attention to the fact, that before the case \yn« submit ted to arbitration, the declaration of the plaintiffs was altered by the insertion of the words "and interest." That alteration nui<l not been made in the issues, and the ar h#rators had them in their original

Hi's Honor asked Mr Cliapman if he had any objection to the alterations. Mr Cbapniiin said he should prefer not Bavin" anything about it, as he had not been instructed on the point. His Honor said he perfectly recollected Mr Travers agreeing to the amendment on the 17th Jnlv, and as he believed he had power to amend the issues any time before the verdict was given, he should ord<a the 17th issue to be altered so as to tally w ltll the sth count of the declaration. Tho Court then rose.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before J. H. Home Esq., J.P.) "three jollie dogs are we."

Frederick Kendall was charged Avith having taken an overdose of alcohol. The accused appeared to be afflicted with deafness, but a constable having whispered the charge in his ear in a stentorian voice, Freedrick started, and pleaded guilty to the soft impeachment. Fined 5s and costs.

Thomas Pcnderville, who was in a very shaky condftion, hobbled into Court with the aid of a stick. He was a striking example of the effects of drinking the toast "Here's all the skin off your nose," his olfactory appendage having been completely stripped of its cuticle.

On being charged, he said he was very sorry for it, and would never do it again. Fined 5s and costs.

Michael Mullins indignantly denied a fourth, offence, and stuck out stoutly for only three. His Worship said that was quite enough, and sentenced him to seven days imprisonment. This was all the business.

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.

The principal characters of Dickon's early novel of Nicholas Nickleby woro presented last even ing at the Thcatro Royal in dramatic form and with creditable success. Tho work, which was long- considered the bost of Dickens's serial fic tions, and held its place as such until tho advent of Coppernold, was represented truthfully and revived pleasant memories of years when the green-covered shilling instalments of Nicholas were eagerly expected and eagerly read. Mr Hall, as Newman Noggs, was a tine impersona tion Of tho original known to Dickens, and Smike was presented with equal fidelity by Mrs Hall. These, in the dramatized version, were the prin cipal characters. Wackford Squecrs, the York shire school-master, was a complete character in the person of Mr C. Searlc, and the little, seemly form of Mrs Collier answered well our idea of Mrs Squeers, of brimstone and treacle notoriety. Miss Jessie Raymond did well as 'Tilda, and the noble, generous, John Browdie was ably sus tained by Mr Thornton. The other characters aided infilling up the incidents ot: tho story, and were treated fairly. As to-night is the last in which Mr and Mrs Hall will appear, and, being Mr Hall's benefit, tho house will doubtlessly bo crowded to excess. We notice that for this special occasion the sparkling comedy of " My Friend the Mai or," and a "laughablefarco' will bo produced. Tho latter, entitled the •' Pro fessor," is a medley, and was written by a gentle man especially for Mr and Mrs Hall.
