*" »"^^"«M«MM»wwiii-iiirr»,ri__ia_iafc^ Mr Riordan said he Would either fetch his brother or call a solicitor. Mr Tyler said he did not see why the Court should step out of its way to oblige plaintiff, who should have been here himself. His Worship decided not to hear plaintiff's brother. Plaintiff must make his claim in a new form, and appear himself; costs, ADJOURNED CASES. W. P. Gray v. Robert F. Bolton, claim £12 10s, goods ; W. D. Kerr v. Cassidy and Clarke, claim £35 ; James Dacre v. William McCann, claim, £17. C. B. HILL V. EALPH W. BROWNB. Claim £12. . Mr Tyler for plaintiff Mr Kisslinp f or de fendant. J This was a claim for use a^ occupation. Ralph Wilde Browne defendant, deposed that he was in possesion of land in Manakau tfoad, and nearly facing Bishop's Court; he bad been tb-s occupier since 24th October, 18'^' uP° rv terms as per agreemsnt produced, at £40 n/er annum ; he had been in possession ever since, and paid his rent to Mr Henry Gilbert. Mr Thorns asked him for rent for plaintiff, but he refused to pay, because he did not acknowledge Mr Hill as his landlord, and^ because he received an order from Mr Wrigley not to pay. He took possession Jinder Mr Gilbert. Mr Kissling said he could not see how the case was to go on upon such a document • he knew nothing of a Mr Hill. To Mr Tyler : He paid Mr Gilbert rent according to terms specified in the agree ment. Crooss-examined by Mr Kissling* He only paid one year's rent; his tflrm termina ted on the 24th March last. F. G. Ewington deposed that he was an house and estate agent; he was the attesting witness to the deed of Henry Gilbert, and signed the document in the presence of Mr Hill. His Worship said on looking into the matter he was doubtful whether the cause came within the jurisdiction of the Court. After some discussion His Worship decided to hear the c?ise further. Charles B. Hill deposed that the premises were sold to him by Mr Henry Gilbert in February last, but since they came into his possession he had received no rent off Mr Wild Browne. To Mr Kissling : He knew the property belonged to James Gilbert at the time he purchased. His brother Henry had acted for hiiPi since his decease. Mr Kissling said if he conld prove that Mr Wrigley was acting in the estate of James Gilbert, he thought the Court could not deal with the question of title. He should like to see the matter taken to the Supreme Court. His Worship ruled that Mr Browne, as he had paid a year's rent in one sum, was a yearly tenant. Mr Kissling then asked that a judgment might be given for defendant, as plaintiff «oold not recover the sum claimed, that being but a portion of a year's rent. Mr Tyler contended that there was no evidence to show that there was any tenancy beyond a year, which was certain, and as certainly expired on the 23rd March ; proof therefore should be forthcoming that there ia a new tenancy in existence, to that which expired in March, and was only for one year at £40, and for this and other reasons, he submitted that plaintiff was en titled to the judgment of the court. His Worship said as the case required some looking up, he would reserve judgment until Friday next.

BAILEY'S NEW YACHT.

A model of the yacht which Mr C. Bailey has just commenced at the North Shore for Mr G. Hennings, of Fiji, is on view in the window of Messrs Phillips and Son, Queen staeet, and has provoked much admiration. The length of keel is 50 feet, and breadth of beam 13 feet 6 inches, and she is intended to register about 25 tons. Her draught of water will be about 9 feet. The lines are much finer than those of any yacht yet bulit in Auckland. Her ran is beautifully clean and graceful, while her bows, though sharp, have enough flam to prevent her burying herself in a heavy sea. Her rise of floor Is great and very flat, and she tumbles home slightly in the topsides. Her stem and sternposts are at obtuse angles with the keel thus giving her a much greater length on deck than below. Judging from the model, the yacht ought to turn out a very smart craft indeed. It is not necessary to impress upon Mr Bailey the importance of putting none but the best material and workmanship into the vessel, which is to go out of the colony. A twenty pounds extra thrown on the water, 'so to ?peak, in furnishing even better stufTthan that contracted for, is bound to return after many days. Auokiand must, at all costs, maintain her shipbuilding repu tation in the South Seas. The name of the new yacht is to be the Uli-I-Lakera.

THE THEATRE.

Nell' was again successful in her performances and drew a capital house. "The Little Detective" seems to give greater satisfaction than "No Name," Which preceded it. Nell's representations are remarkably life-like ; she impersonates the daughter of Sir Gervase; the girl from the West of Ireland : the ancient nurse ; tho fast young man ; aud Chris tina from Germany ; with equal success, not only in dress and style, but in dialect arid action. Her snngs too, mcstly comic, are truly representative- The grand medley duet between Nell ond Mr Giddens, the acknowledged comedian, is one of those things which are irr&sistable, and turns from grave to gay, and on ward to extatic exuberance. Mr Searle Was perfsct as Tracy, the detective, although tho victim occasion ally of a little deceotion, The part of Mallison was a fair portraiture by Mr Inglis. Mr Thornton as Sir Gervase was passable, but not first-class ; his un natural manner .is a fault. Mr Thornton should endeavour to be himself rather than otherwise. Mrs Searle, Miss Eaymond, and Mrs Collier, played with their usual ability. Mrs Searle's Madame uitzdorff was marked and distinct, and was a good representa tion. Mr Tom Burton showed up well as Rookaway. Dr Bourdon was exceedingly tame, and the performer Mr Morton, was imperfect in hia teXt. Bourdon in his stiffness and ungeniality, was anything but a doctor. The other characters wero fai.-ly displayed, but as they were entirely subservient to the leading Character, there is little to say about them. The play is lively and sensational, and the incidents leading to its development are well wrought and coloured. To-night will be the last of this performance, and to morrow a new play will be introduced

VESSEL ON THE COAST.

The Chief Harbour Master informs us that he has received a telegram fromißussell to-day stating that a large black barque passed the Bay at 8 o'clock this morning, apparently bound for this port. She will probably turn out to he the Vallego, now 104 days out from Liverpool, with the remainder of the City Waterworks plant on board.

CARPENTERS AND JOINERS SOIREE.

The first anniversary soiree|of the Amalgama ted Carpenters and Joiners of Auckland was held last evening in the Lome-street Hall. About 220, as nearly as we could count, sat down to an excellent tea in the side hall, provided by Mr Wright, and refreshments by Mr Hood of the Wellington Eotel. Previously to the opening of the ball, by Mr Pooley, junr., Mr Ryan, president of the Sooiety, took the chair, supported by Messrs White and Pooley. On the platform were seated, the representative of kindred societies in Auckland, viz., Mr Holland, (Oddfellowe), Mr Smith, (Engineers), Mr McClusky, (Foresters), Mr Ellis, (Shipwrights), Captain Burns, (Orange Society), and Mr Clifton, (Hibernian). The Chairman, Mr Ryan, delivered an eloquent opening address on the present position and prospects of their society, and stated that it was founded, chiefly projected by himself, in relation to the London society, whose branches now extended throughout England, America, New South Wales, and the j chief towns and cities of New Zealand. 'Mr Ryan then spoke of the good the Society had done and was doing in Auck land, and the Society was not in opposition to employers, as some persons imagined, but was a society for mutual self-help, indeed to all intents and purposes a benefit society. Mr T. White followed in an excellent speech, in which he stated that the Auckland branch started with 20 members ; it now numbered 75. The funds, which were £20, had in creased to £275 they had also received £95 from the Home Society. Mr White then enumerated cases where their Society had been of special benefit, and referred to one case, where a carpenter in the employ of Mr Skinner had lost all his tools by a disastrous fire, but which had been re-placed by this society. Mr White then gave a welcome to the representatives of tbe various societies present, who severally responded. Mr Gatland then read an excellent essay on the "Advantages of Trades L Tnions," many of the senfcimonts being loudly applauded. The essay was a highly creditable production, and deserves to be printed and circulated in a cheap form, as it would form a miniature guide to tbe objects of the society. Between the Bpeeches, several songs were sung; the Village Blacksmith, by Mr Ryan, (not the chairman.) " I lovo my Home "by Miss Georgina Hood, which was much praised, partly owing to the youth of the singer, she being only eleven years old, and partly because of the clear and distinct utterances of the singer ; Mr Martyr was called for, but shipped out of the hall, and disappointed the audience. Mr. Gatland then came forward and sang " Matrimonial Differences " (comic) with much humour. At nine o'Clock the ball commenced, and hundreds of young per sons pushed|in at the harmonious call of Mr. Wright's band. At the opening, about eighty couple stood up, and the fun went on through the night, until the crowing of tbe cock, and the cry of the first fisherman on the wharf.
