JUDGMENT UNION BEACH G.M. CO. (LIMITED) V. THE NEW GOLDEN PAH G.M. CO. (LIMITED).

The folloAving judgment iv the important mining case Union Beach Company a*. Golden Pah, was delivered by Mr Warden Keddell in the Court at Coromandel on Tuesday : —

This action is brought by the Union Beach Gold Mining Company (Limited) against the New Golden Pah Gold Mining Company (Limited), for trespass and encroachment on their Licensed Holding No. 142. by putting doAvn a certain shaft AA'ithin its boundaries, and excavating and removing quartz containing gold therefrom. The defendants are the owners of an adiacent Licensed Holding, No. 182, both holdings pos sessing for a certain distance a common bound ary, the exact position of which is the Question at "issue. At the outset of the case, the defendants counsel took exception to the informal manner in which the complaint Avas laid—i.e., by Mr George Hannay, the manager, contending that the complainant, being a corporate body, could I only sue by " solicitor," or "attorney." or " per- i son duly authorised by laAv." Against the objection, it Avas urged for the complainants that Mr Hannay's complaint was authorised; and that further, it was ratified and confirmed by the apuearance of the complainants solicitor at the hearing of the cause. This point appears to be to me more of a technical than equitable nature, and if it be good the defendants have then to appeal, as I received the point at firsthand as the whole case on general grounds has been fully gone into, I now leave the decision on this point to the Supreme Court. The complainants m support of their case produce ro the Court their title in the shape of a Jicense|under the G.M. District Act,jlS73, the term of Avhic.- :=; yet unexpired. The contention of the cor-.i^iunants is that the plan in the margin of the license shews the S.W. angle to be of 90 degrees, whereas the defendants contend that it should be and is marked by the posts on the ground as an obtuse angle, which, if correct, would make the western boundary of that portion of the complainants' L.H. affected by this action, pass outside or to the eastward of the shaft in question. In support of the complainants' case skilled Avitnesses in the person of two competent surveyors have given evidence, and their testi mony is admitted by, and other witness of the same class called to be correct as facts of measurement. ~ These gentlemen starting from a base line which is admitted by both parties (i c. the northern boundary of a certain licensed holding formerly knoAvn as the Golden Pah, one of the various authorised holdings which now, and for some time have been held by the complainants under license 112) proceeded to survey and mark on the ground the land comprised in the complainants' license, mere particularly the south-western boundaries of the same. By the plan which is submitted in evidence as the result of this survey they make the line, from the western peg of the base line referred to, pass to the Avestern side of the disputed shaft, some 13 feet, which if correct would shew that the defendants had been guilty of the encroachment alleged. They did not, however, find any post marked UB (the distinguishing mark adopted by the complainant, which they were bound to maintain at every angle during their occupancy) at the termination of the fine so drawn at right angles to the aforesaid base line. In short, the complainants' case appears to be that they rely on the "indefeasible" character of their license, that the ground set out in the margin thereof must be there so long as they comply -with the conditions of that instrument, and the maintenance of the "posts" is an omission subjecting them to a penalty under the 62nd section of the Act; and in this the Court must agree. It is not by this Court, which gave this indefeasible title, that it can be impugned. There is in this case no allegation of fraud, such as the connivance of the applicants with the officer whose duty it was to give a professional report on the plans, &c, of the application to obtain rights Avhich would otherwise not be granted. On the contrary, in this case, the documentary evidence shews that the License, No, 142, was obtained under the authority given by the 58th and 59th section of the Gold Mining Districts' Act, 1873, a right which "anyholder of two or more adiacent licensed holdings" promised to surrender the same, and the Waiden was bound to "grant a license for the several holdings so serrendered." The evidence of Mr. Black, a former Manager of the Union Beach Gold Mining Company, shews that. A.ith the authority, and on behalf of that Company, he desired to apply to the Warden for one License for the several pr operties held under License by them: that on in quiry he found that in the aggregate these exceeded 30 acres, and by (the 60th section this area could not be held under one License ; that to bring the area within this section of the Act he threw off "ten men's ground" off the south end of the Golden Pah license, submitting for the purpose a plan (m eA*iuence) for the information of the Warden and the officer whose duty it was to check such plans, and to prepare the License for execution by the Warden, that the south-Avest and south east pegs (or posts) were moved northAvard for the purpose of throwing oft the above-mentioned surplus area, and that the Warden, all things being in due form, granted the License No. 142, under the authority of the 59th section. Thos the License No. 142 was granted for different adiacent portions of Land held under Licenses, less ten men's ground, i.e., IdO.OUO square feet, in parallelogrammic form,, thrown off the southern end of the License held by the Union Beach Gold Mining Company for the ground then known as the Golden Pah. It is to be assumed that the complainants have ever since paid the License fee of £88 for this area. Suppose the complainants on the date when their annual rent became due in advance were to have tendered the Receiver £86, stating that they found that their S.W. post was, and had been at the time of making application to surrender their former license and obtain their present one, where the evidence shews it o be: and in consequence they occupied 86 men's ground; would the Receiver have been justified, or could the Court have authorised him to accept the sum so tendered. I think not. The 57th section gives the complainants •' Licensees an indefeasible title right to all gold therein comprised," subject only to the provisions of a former Statute and to the provisions in respect of forfeiture. On the evidence submitted the Court must come to the conclusion that the land comprised in the License No. 142, produced, does cover and include the shaft and certain of the workings therefrom sunk and driven by the defendants, and therefore declares the defendants to be guilty of the trespass and encroachment com plained of. -• ■ , With respect to the damages claimed, in so much as by the evidence it would appear that not only was the post at the S.W. corner not maintained, but that it has not been replaced, the defendants, under the 63rd section of the Act, are not liable to damages; and with respect to the quartz containing gold, there is no evidence to shew, that any was removed from the complainants'licensed holding. The judgment of the Court in fine is, that the encroachment alleged in the complaint is pi oved. and that the Court does hereby order the defendants (the New Golden Pah Gold Mining Company, Limited) to remove from tbe com plainants' Licensed Holding, No. 142, together with their servants and tools, &c. With respect to costs, I am of opinion that it is not a case where costs should be allowed; the expense that the complainants have been to survey their ground was a necessity called for long since, that by their posts being improperly placed they were likely to mislead holders of adiacent holdings, as in the present instance, thereby causing them vexation and loss of time and money, which, probably, would never have occurred had the complainants' Licensed Hold ing been proper_y marked out. With respect to the several objections taken by the defendants'counsel, beyond that to which I have referred, and which were overruled by me, they require no further reference to by me now, but will, doubtless, be determined by the Supreme Court, to which, I am given to under stand, the defendants intend appealing.
