SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies, and a special Jury.)

The Horse Racing Case.

OWEN MCGEE V. MCLAUGHLIN, RUSSELL, AND OTHERS.

SPECIAL JUIUT

Messrs James Baber (foreman), Chas. Alexander, Wm. Oorrie, J. Manning, F. Brodie, E, Isaacs, Geo. Layers, Wm. Ball, John Dickey, Henry Allright, J. D. Jack son, and Henry N. Garland. The damages were laid at £2,500. Mr Rees and Mr Lusk appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Whitaker, Mr Hesketh, and Mr Tyler for the defence. This action arose out of the disqualifi cation of a racehorse belonging to plaintiff by the stewards of the Auckland facing Club, on the 23rd of April last, at Ellerslie. There were 21 issues, which caused his Honor to say that a great number of them might be omitted, as the proving so many he considered would be a waste of time.

Mr Hesketh replied that they were considered necessary in the present case.

His Honor said many of them could not he denied by defendants; still he would not say more upou the matter. The pleas put in by defendant were a general denial.

The following issues were submitted to the jury :—(1). Was the plaintiff, before the time of the grievances complained. of, a breeder and tra'ner of race horses.? (2). Was the plaintiff acquiring considerable gains and profits by the said business? (3). Was a certain race, called the " Selling Race,"i un at Ellerslie on the 23rd April, between a horse, the property of plaintiff, •called Falcon, for a sum of £36? (£). Wastbc horse Falcon running the Selling Race adjudge to have come in equal With another horse, Bell<> of the Isles ? (5). Was the said race run a second, time? (6). Was the hor_je Falcon on the second race declared and adjudged to be the winner of the Selling Raoe? (7). Had certain persons formed tbemselve3 into a club, under the liuuio of the Auckland Racing Club. (8). Was the Selling Raoe run on the 23rd April 1 (9). Were the persons acting as stewards, the Auckland Racing Club, empowered to disqualify a horge? (10). Were the said persons empowered to dis qualify any horse from running, of which dis honest practices should have been proved to their satisfaction? (11). Were they empowered by the rules, &c. ? (12). Did the defendants ooni pose and publish in a newspaper, the " New Zea land Herald," on the 27th April last, " That Owen Curran McGee be disqualified from running any horse, either in his own name or any other person, on the coarse of the Auckland Racing Club, for the space of two years, and that the horae Falcon be disqualifiedf or ev*r? (id). Did the defendants publish and cause to be published in letters addressed to the Secretaries of the the Dunedin Jockey Club and Canterbury Jockey Club, at Christchurch, of and concerning the plaintiff, in relation to his business. &c. (15 ) Did the words composed and published mean that the plaintiff had been guilty of dishonest practices in connection with the race meeting held on the 23rd April last? (16.) Were the statements published by defendants intended to injure the plaintiff? (17.) Was the plaintiff guilty of dishonest conduct in the running of the horse Falcon at the selling Race?) (18.) Has the plaintiffbeen injured in his good name, fame, and credit, and in his occupation, trade, and business, by reason of the publication ? (19.) What sum of money, if any, is the plaintiff en titled to recover from defendants by way of damage? (20.) Has the plaintiff suffered special damage in his business of breeding and training racing horses, and by the deterioration in value of racing horses, the property of the plaintiff? and by the deprivation of the right to enter and run horses in competition for prizes at the race meetings and racing club<_ and associations established in New Zealand for two years in consequence of the defamatory matter com posed and published by defendants. (21.) What sum of money—if any—is the plaintiff entitled to recover from the defendants by way of special damages.

Mr Lusk opened the case for the plaintiffs, and read the declaration, which set forth that the plaintiff, Mr Owen McGee, a breeder and trainer of horses, had been greatly in jured in his business by a certain article, which defendants, as stewards of the Auck land Racing Club, caused to be published in theNewZealand"Herald"onthe27th April, which was a false and malicious libel, also, by certain communications to the secretary of the Jockey Ciub ; and which led to the disqualification of his horse Falcon, and the disqualification of himself from run ning his horses at Ellerslie.

Mr Rees addressed the Jury onthe nature of the action, and showed that plaintiff had always endeavoured to do business in a straightforward way, and to make racing a paying business. Mr Rees referred at some length to the notices in the "Herald " and in the Southern papers which had been sent by the secretary, under instruction from defendants, which were calculated to do serious injury to the plaintiff, as these notices were extracted into other journals, beyond the immediate colony in which they were published.

Owen M. McGee, farmer and stud-owner, had been in the business for 24 years. Trained horses for himself only. Had at present 42 horses. Generally ran from five lo six horses. Did not restrict himself to Auckland, but wherever an opportunity offered did so all over the colony. His .horse Falcon ran at Ellerslie on Easter Monday and Tuesday. He was present. He had four others besides Falcon, who ran on the first day in the Novel Handicap Race. He won it. His mare Elsa also ran, bidden by his son, John McGee. She won •comparatively easily. The bandicappers imposed 221b additional weight on her. She was over-weighted and spoilt for winning. Had no show with such weight. Mr Whitaker objected to this question. His Honor did not consider it material to lead to the case.

Witness: Soon after that Falcon had •to run; this was on the Tuesday. I gave my boy certain instructions as to riding, in the presence of a number of persons, among •whom were George Lendrum, my brother Richard, Mr Robinson (reporter to the "** Herald"), and others. The boy followed out my instructions to the letter. I did Dot see what took place when Mr Graham left 'the post. Mr Whitaker objected to some parts of the evidence, as it had been settled before by the Club. His Honor said the Court had no evidence at present that there was such a body as the Auckland Jockey Club, only that cer tain races were run on certain days.

Witness, to Mr Rees : There was a great commotion at the close of the race, which was a selling race.

His Honor asked for an explanation of selling race.

Witness explained that it was a race upon selling conditions. The person gets the stated sum,. and the surplus goes to the Club.

Evidence continued : He asked why the numbers were up at the post if it were a dead heat, the winning number being at the top. One of the stewards said, " will you run again?" It was Mr Thomas Morrin. I replied, "at any minute, as you please." I know Mr Cameron, owner of the other horse. He wished to divide thej, stakes. They were both considered^ winners, as it was a dead heat. The race^ was run over again, and Falcon Avon. He? was next sold by public auction, as the£ Club had a claim on him. He fetched £35[, 10s. Two days after, I got a cheque, in-f eluding the winnings of the race. ThereC was then no accusation or even insinuation! -against myself at the time of settling. I know Mr Percivai; he is secretary to the Turf' -Club, the Agricultural Association, and the] Auckland Racing Club. The races at; Ellerslio were under the auspices of the! latter club. I know the four defendants,! Messrs McLaughlen, Russell, Morrin, andr Banks; and they were stewards of the club. Their names are indispensable to the ex-! istence of the club. Mr Percival's lettei was introduced, hut Mr Whitaker objected as it could not affect the defendants. L His Honor said it was necessary, perhapsl to show that Mr Percivai was secretary oj^ the Racing Club. v Witness : I know Mr Perciyal's hand j writing. I have no doubt but this letter i in his handwriting. hi i

The letter wns read, and was merely notice to attend a meeting on the 26t April at his office. Signed, Wm. Percivai Witness: It was impossible for me t attend. The notice was too sboit. It wa not intended that I should be present. Oi the next day—Saturday, the 27th—a lette appeared in the "New Zealand Herald," ii which 1 hrst became aware that I had beei disqualified. I came into town on the fol lowing Monday, and saw several of th. stewards, and asked whether they ha< proved anything dishonest against me. M: Morrin said " we have disqualified Falcon and the less you say on the subject th< better, or wa shall disqualify all the horse; you have." I said I should like to have i hearing where the doors would not be closed against me ; otherwise I should bring the matter into a court of law, aud where 1 could be present myself. It was agreed that there should be a re-hearing of the case on the following Friday. We met in the club office in Durham-street, when three of the defendants were present. I said : " Gentlemen, before we enter into a discussion, I wish the doors to be opened, my accusers brought forward, and the press admitted. I will not agree to a re-heanng on any other conditions." They agreed, and the press was admitted. I demanded to know in what way Falcon was dis qualified. They said " We have disqualified him. What evidence have you to bring ?" I said, "I have a number of witnesses'in favour of the horse, but it is for you to show wherein I have done wrong." They replied, " You pulled Falcon." I asked them how could it be otherwise ? Were they judges in such matters ? They asked, "Did you. give your rider express orders how to ride ?" I replied, " Yes." Mr Tyler said this conversation was general, and did not point to any one of the defendants. Plaintiff referred to " they" in general terms. Witness : The gentleman who questioned I me was Mr James Russell. I gave instruc- j turns to the rider to secure victory • tola him to keep his- horse well in hand until he j got to tbe cutting ; then to go up and feel the cattle, i.e., try their mettle ; and when i he got to the distance-post to let his horse | go, and win by a head and neck if possible ; j but by no means to display the horse's \ capacity, as he would be of no use to me I afterwards. The obeyed my instructions. His Honor : I want an explanation of one or two points.. What do you mean by " pulliug "a horse? Witness : Restricting his powers, so that he shall not win. His Honor: You spoke of " feeling the cattle." Witness : That is to try if there was a flash-in-the-pan horse amongst them. Evideuce continued : I had no bets against Falcon. Never bet on my own cattle. I had no previous knowledge that the horse could win. Told Mr Russell so. I deserved the defendant's to brincr forward evidence to prove dis-1 honesty on my part. There was no accusa tionbesides the "pulling"brought against me. I asked for the rules under which they acted, but they did not show them to me. They then asked me to withdraw, as they should be glad to dispense with my society. I con sider that my winnings, upon an average, are £1,400 or £1,500 a-year, but then my expenses are very great. At the May meet ing, 1577, my winnings were £800, and last May £1,450. The resolution passed at the meeting was also passed at the Dunedin and Christchurch Clubs. The letter from Mr Digby, of the latter club, stated that they had received the resolution of this disquali fication from Mr Percivai. Mr Tyler objected to the letter being put in as evidence against Mr James Russell, unless it was proved first that there was such a club at Christchurch, and that Mr Digby was its Secretary. His Honor said that the letter was no evidence, the witness must be put in the i box. There was no evidence that theresolu tion was adopted by the Christchurch Club. Mr Rees aigued the question at some f length. His Honor ruled that the letter was valueless, as a matter of evidence against defendants. William Percivai, secretary to the Auck land Racing Club, remembered the races at EJlerslie, and the horses entered by plaintiff. Heard the judge say immediately after the race, "itis a dead heat." He put all the numbers upon the telegraph board, putting Falcon and Belle of the Isles side by side as equal. Put the other horses as they came in. Did not take any steps immediately. The stewards first held a meeting. They were Messrs. Morrin (2), Taylor (2), McLaughlin, Dilworth, and Russell. There were other stewards, but these were all that wore present. The meet ing was called for the purpose of considering how Falcon was run, and was adjourned until Friday. I rung the bell for the race to be run over again. Received no instruc tions to do so. It was a part of my duty as secretary. At the meeting on the course, the evidence of several gentlemen was taken, and it was agreed to adjourn until Friday for future enquiry. I partly took minutes, and, I think, Mr Russell con tinued them. I called the meeting, but am not sure whether Mr McGee was called. At the close of the race, I ordered Mr McGee to bring his horse to the front of the judge's chair, that he might be sold. He fetched £35. Deducted the £20 for the owner, and the £15 went to|the club. I was present at the meeting. Sent plain tiff notice to attend on the previous day (Thursday) about 11 o'clock, in time for the post to Otahuhu; but not stating the business for which the meeting was called. (Witness here read the resolution as stated above). Surprise was manifested at the absencefof MrflMcGee from the meeting, as he was interested. Did not tell him the business in the notice. Gave a copy of the resolution to Mr Will, sub-editor of the " Herald;" gave it to him to do with as he thought fit. He considered it was news ; he was not asked specially to give it to the " Herald." Was in the habit of giving the papers bits of news. Had no orders to do so from the meeting. He was instructed to send South, and he carried the instructions out within the next fortnight. Had copies in the let ter-book of the particulars which he for warded to the secretaries of the Dunedin and Christchurch Clubs. He communicated also to the secretary of Wellington. Mr Tyler thought this was unnecessary. His Honor said that the repetition of the libel was supposed to have weight in proving malice. Witness mentioned about twelve places to which he had forwarded copies of the reso lution.

The County authorities b_we forwarded this morning the following to the Premier affecting the Coromandel and Thames deep mining :r—" As the memoranduniof January is more applicable to alluvial tlan quartz mining at low levels the Councix cannot understand'how its provisions can % bene ficially applied to th« goldflelds on thi&penin sula, where costly pumping operation are necessary.. Will you suggest to the Minister of Lands the advisability of setting: ajart £10,000' in aid of the prospecting lev«la below 500'feet,.the money to be paid to the companies as subsidy, of £ for £ on their, expenditure in. prospecting, and only on the recommendation of Commissioners appointed by Government. This would be extending the principle of subsidising, as the adit of the miner is as necessary to him as the road is to the merchant and' farmer. The quartz miner has strong claims upon the colony. He is exceptionally and heavily taxed, while the permanency of quarte reef ing and the large sums reoeived from duties to this district has been- and continues to be of importance to the welfare of the District of Auckland and colony generally. The Victorian Government voted £30,000 for the purposes indicated above. The Goldfields Committee have" referred* the Karaka tunnel scheme to the Government, who will grant the concession when a company is J formed.

After the fire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as there is space between the fragments, of fuel for a free current of air. The value of Coke as a fuel and as a means oi economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of Coal and Coke is invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means,—|Adv tj
