KJames McCokmiok v.-Wm. V. Bindon* —Clkim £100, wrongful dismissal, and broach of agreement,—Mr Tole for ■plain tiff. Mr Armstrong and Mr Bkydes for the defendant. —Mr Armstrong asked that cer tain amendments might be made in several of (the allegations, and that an adjournment might be granted for that purpose.—Mt Tole said ho had serious objections against the- amendments, as they were prejudicial tojpltatitifl's character, imputing neglect of duty.—The plaintiff, it appeared, had been injthe employ of defendant, and the claim was for wages, etc., in lieu of notice.—llia Worship said that an employer would'be justified in discharging a person for drunken ness or neglect of duty, but in this case the plaintiff wa*|not immediately discharged ; and as some time elapsed between the alleged neglect and the discharge, the offence, if there was an offence, was so far condoned. There appeared errors in dates, otherwise the case might fairly have been brought before this Court.—After some remarks from Mr Tole, it was agreed to hear the case, and the eleven witnesses were Ordered out of Court.—Mr Tole then opened the case for plaintiff.—Mr.McCormick was an experienced bottler and beer seller, who possessed the wizard .secret, an invisible agent which produced what is termed " Heller" beer, and which gave to' tho beer an invigorating and inspiring influence. Mr Bindon did not possess this valuable secret, and according to agreement, Mr : McConuick was to be master of the celler, and not disturbed while in tho performance of his secret duties. Plaintiff also made some extraordinary sales of beer, while in the employ ot Mr Bindon. His wages at the tame time getting in arrear, and tailing, issued a summons on the 30th July against Mr Bindon. On the 31st 'July, McCormick received a letter of dismissal from Biudou, and replied to the same through Mr Theo. Cooper, to the effect that he, McCormick, was still prepared to carry out the agreement in all its integrity. Mr Tole then proceeded to speak upon. Mr McCormick's special duties, namely,- preparing and selling beer.— John Or. Stewart, comission agent, deposed that..he was attesting, witness to g. deed of agreement between tho parties, on or about the 17jh: ■' <>f Jutie of ih'e present . ,ye a"Pt-He introduced Mr McConniuk to Mr Bindon, but did not draw up the agreement. He Considered Mr McOormick an oncractic seller of beer. - - Knew nothing of any differ ences between them.—To Mr Armstrong;: Be believed the agreement was in- Mr McCormick's hand-writing.— William Verico Biadon, bottled beer mer chant, Vulcan Lave, deposed that the agree ment was signed en the 24th May, and not on the 17th Juno. He would not say. that Mr Stewart had sworn falsely; he was under a mistake as to the date. The deed was. signed on the Queen's Birthday. He would swear to that. Mr McCormick was in his employment from the Bth May; some weeks- before tho 24th May. The Bth being the day of opening the store, McCormick said he would not claim wages ui>til the day of signing the deed. Served McCormick with notice to leave on the 2nd August. Gave notice iv consequence of a conversation with Mrs Ross, who declared that she had paid McCormick her account, and that she was thankful that she got a receipt from him. There was no profit on the beer sold during the term of business. Could not give par ticulars of stock and acennnts. Mr Davis, an experienced accountant, attended to the books. Advanced McCormick a little over £4 on account. McCormiok was drunk and unfit for business from 26th to 28th June. He himself had drawn £18 from tho.busi ness.'' Visited McCormick in bed-"_ He appeared very ill, and could, not take bis food. The enemy, a bottle of whiskey, was by his bed side. Had never seen McCormick intoxicated before. Ho could take, a refresher, but not in large quantities.. Bid HOC object to a man taking a glass or two, when business improved by jit.

The Chairman, in moving the adoption 'of the report, pointed out the favourable progress which the company was making,., and that the property, and rents were in-; creasing in value.

' The Chairman put tho motion for tgf adoption of tho report and balance-sheet, and it was unanimously agreed to. Mr Hughes proposed the re-election of Hon. H; Cliamberlin, and Joseph JHoward. Esq., as directors. Mr Hughes pointed out that in tho present state of insurance business any change in the directory would bb inadvisable; He felt sure that the directors would j always do their utmost to maintain the interests of tho shareholders against the competition of rival com panies. ' Mr Batgcr seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

The Hon. H. Ch'amberlin acknowledged the compliment which had been paid him, and referred to the merits of his co-directors as men of large mercantile experience.' He was not a mercantile man, nor anything else that he could mention (laughter) but he presumed that his re-election was attribut able to the cofidenco the shareholders placed in him. 33 Mr Howard said the directors had; always worked harmoniously together. He con gratulated the directors in, the fact that the balance-sheet showed that they, carried for ward three times as largo a sum as last year. Mr F. C. Barstow thought they should not separato without expressing thoir re newed confidence in the directors, manageis, agents and officers,;for .their services during tho last brief year. It should bo borno in in mind what money had been cheaper during the past half-year than during tho previous poriod, and therefore the rato of interest had beon* lower. Ho proposed a voto of thanks to tho directors, manager*, agents, and officers of the Com pany. Mr Sims seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Tho Chairmaninar.knowJodfjingthe vote of thanks, said that it was not advisable that the shareholders should know the anxiety which the directors had experienced during tho past half-year, which they began with a large amount of money on deposit, |but ho was happy to say that the Company'wo* now almost entirely free from debt, and tboir finances and business were in a most satisfactory condition.

SUPREME COURT-CIVIL SITTINGS.

Tnis Day.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) His Honor took his scat upon tho Bench at 10. a.m.

The Queen v. J. <3 Young, claim £1600, money expended in the service of tho Government. Mr Brookfield appeared for the plain till', and Mr Tyler for the defendant.—The former gentleman said that it had been agreed between the parties that with His Honor's permission, the cause should be referred to the Registrar, to tako an account of the transactions' between them', and to nnttlo all matters ia dispute ; the finding of the Registrar to be onterod as a ruling of the Court; the plaintiff to have liberty to extend hor claim by accounts of advances to the defendant under imprest deed,' and the defendant also to have to amend oraltcr his claim.—MrTylor signified his concurrence with the terms of the applica tion.—His Honor : I suppose it is merely a question of account.—Mr Brookfield : Yes, your Honor.—Bis Honor: I have no objection to the course thus indicated. An inquiry before a jury might be almost interminable. I think larger powers should be given ua to refer these matters for settlement.

Walker and Grekhwood v. John son.—Claim £525 on promissory notes,Mr E. Heaketh appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Thco. Cooper tor the defendant. The substance of the plaintiffs' picas was that on the sth of December, 1879, the defendant made and delivered to them two. promissory notoa for £200 i and #325 respectively duo three months after date, viz., Bth March, 1880. The time elapsed but the defendant did not pay either amount nor any part thereof, in conscquonco of which the plaintiffs had brought their present action, tho odd £25, , of''the claim being interest at tho rate of eight per cent. The defendant's answer to tho claim was that after making and delivering the promissory notes referred to, viz., about tlio 18th of December, 1879, the plaintiffs agreed, in consideration of receiv ing a mortgage over his property at yvhangapoua, to renew the notes at maturity, if he so wished, for further terms, providing the term of curreacy was not extended boyond the 18th December, 1880. He alleged that the plaintiffs accepted the deed of mortgage on those terms, and yet in March 1880, when he applied for a renewal of his notes, they declined to comply with his request. The plaintiff* answer to these averments was that they did not agree with the defendant to renew his promissory notes. The issues, therefore, submitted for] the determination of the jury were to the following effect: — (1) Did the plaintiffs after the promissory notes had been made, and during the time that they were current, agree with the de fendant that they would renew for a further term of three months after the first period of three months for which they were made had expired, and that if necessary they would renew again after the completion of tho second term, providing.the time was not extended beyond December, 1880! (2) What sum are the plaintiffs entitled to claim from the defendant ?— Mi Theo. Cooper claimed, and was allowed ttte right of opening tho action on the ground that the onus of proof rested upon' him. He then addressed the jury, setting out to them the salient points of his client's case. He began by saying that the ques tion which they had to decide was a very simple ode, viz., whether or not the agree ment upon which the defendant relied was an answer to the action. The facts,-he went on to remark, were shortly as fol lows ; _in 1879 * the plaintiffs became possessed of a block of native * land at Whangapoua, for the timber on which the defendant had already been treating; and upon which he had actually paid money to the original owners, viz, a, sum of £500. The plaintiffs had managed to secure a prior right to the land, and when the defendant endeavoured to complete his purchase he found that, the natives absolutely refused to sell to any one but the plaintiffs, Albert Walker and Robert Charles, Greenwood... It therefore became necessary for, the defendant in order to save the money which he'had paid to make some arrangement with his successful rivals. He entered into negotiations with them at once, and the result was that they agreed to sell to him for £3000, taking in cash as part payment the £000 which he had advanced to the natives, as well as "a sum ot £100 similarly paid, but which had found its way. into the hands ot Mr McDonald, of Coromandel. ■' That left an amount die of £2,400. It was next agreed between the defendant and the plaintiff Greenwood thai twelve.months should be allowed for the payment of- the balance, and that interest should be charged at the rate of -five,.per cent. The plaintiffs subsequently repre sented that they might wish to,have the use of the money, and therefore proposed to the defendant that.he should givepromissory notes for it. He agreed to dp bo. The plaintiffs then said that they might waiitt discount upon some of the notes, and conse quently asked him to make two oi.them short-dated one*. [Ho agreed to this also, giving • two promissory notes at three months for £500, and a third promissory note at twelve months for the remainder. It was likewise arranged afterwards that the defendant should have the right of renewing the short da'ed bills, if he so desired, up till the full period of[ twelves months. The seourity which the plaintiffs received was a deed of mortgage over the defendant's property at Whangapoua. The deed, niter being prepared, was amended at the defendant's desire so as to take cogniz ance of the agreement to renew.—Jas. .Rus sell, of the firm of Jackson and Russell, solicitor!", was the first witness examines. He deposed that he had acted as attesting witness to the mortgage deed.—The defend ant,- Benjamin Johnson, was then sworu. His evidence was substantially the same'ris the statement made by Mr Cooper.—John Abbott, bill-broker, gave evidence With respect to the discounting of the two.pro missory motes forming the subject of'the action. This concluded the defendant s caseV—Mr Hesketh then addressed the jury in support of the cause.—Robert Charles Greenwood "deposed that in December last ho made definite arrangements for the eale of the Pungapunga bush at Whangapoua to the defendant. They had before that time paid £400 upon it. It went through the Court on the 12th December, and then they paid a' further sum ot £1,000 with the stipulation that another £1,000 was to_be; paid in-the aubsequent twelvemonths.' The ; agreement come to with the defendant was; that he should either pay them (the plain tiffs) x £1,000 cash, and £2,0Q0 more,, in: twelve months' time, or that he should give them £50t) over and above what they had guen the natives and complete the purchase himself. Defendant transferred to.their ac-i ■mr ... ■■-r^ru^^j^A^n airithe natives;

{ing him so hard in respect of the neighbour- Ing forest of Orotonga that he could not im mediately pay th<j other moiety of the (£I,OOO cash. He professed his.willingness, 'however, to give short dated bills for the 'amount, and after some consideration they 'agreed. The bills were made, and £25 al lowed for discount. No promise whatever jwas given that they would be renewed, nor was such a rhing entertained by them (the

' plaintiffs). j! Cross-examined by Mr Cooper: The |' references to renewals in the mortgage deed were put in without his sanction. I Albert Walker, co-partner with the last ! witness in the Bale of the Pungapunga bush to defendant, gave similar evidence. i The arrangements to accept notes for the payment oi: a part of the purchaso money jby defendant, if there were any such arrangements, were made without 1 his knowledge, and ho only agreed ; subsequently to this mode of payment at ; the importunities of his partner. He ; was wholly ignorant of any agroe i ment to renew the bills. When they arrived at maturity the defendant endea voured to obtain a renewal of them :by saying that a proviso to that, 1 effect was contained in thz deed of conveyance. Tho deed was examined | and when it was found that no ' such proviso existed the defendant I asserted that tho promise to renew was a verbal arrangement between himself and plaintiffs. This assertion ho afterwards qualified by declaring that he had made the arrangement with Mr Greenwood,, I ' (Left Sitting),

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

THE TENDER HEART HID IN TflE BBBAST ~;:,■ - Of, A BUaQKD MAM. ~, , f There is nothing in the world so had as human nature, and the tears come into 'my eyes now as I think of the pitiful atory Tom told me as he smoked his after supper pipe last night. The other day, just before I camo home, Tom had occasion to go over tho lake. On his way back, and when the train stopped at the bay, lie noticed a rnaa getting into the car in front of him with a little baby lying in his arms. The baby, seemed young, aud the mail hushed it in his arms with a gentle, rocking motion, bending over now and then to kiss its little white face. After the train got under way tho conductor came to Tom and said : " Como with mo ; I want to show you the saddest, strangest sight you ever saw in all your life," and bo led tho way into the next car. "Do you ace that man over thero T" said he, and there sat tho man whom Tom had noticed with the babe. His precious little bundle lay quiot on tho seat in front of him, and as these other two men watched, he leaned over, looked long and earnestly iv the little flower face, and then kissed the frail finger tips he held so gently in his hand. " That baby's dead," said the conductor. "It died this morning at the bay. He couldn't bear to put it into a coth'n, because then it would have logo without him in tho baggage car and so he is just carrying it home to New Orleans in his arms." And tho car rattled on—the boy called tho stale slices of sponge cake and his cigara through the train— the' pft«nengers laughed, and smoked, and fought the mosquitoes—and he, stricken to the heart's core, sat there quiet and unheed ing, watching over his dead child, kissing the fingers that would never again softly clasp his, looking down upon the white lids that had closed over the bright eyea as tho petals of; a sensitive flower close at night time ovor its delicate heart, and the world, was nothing to him.—"New Orleans Times.". , ... „„ . ,

"How' to reach, young men,", was tho topic at the young men's prayer meeting on Thursday.
