DEFENDED CASES,

O'NEH,t< v. Foster.—Claim £13 13s, detinue of gum and damages.—Mr E. Cooper for plaintiff, and Mr J. M. Alex ander for defendant. The case.was heard last Court day, and judgmeut was now delivered as follows :—" Plaintiff became possessed of a parcel of gum, part of which he, on the authority of defendant's verbal license, dug in land which defendant may be taken as owning, the residue having been acquired by purchase from a person who had himself dug it under a like verbal license from defendant. The entire parcel was taken out of plaintiff's possession by defendant in the assertion of an alleged right^to a lien for securing payment of first a store account owing by plaintiff, and then a "royalty" of lspercwt. Plaintiff ad tnitted it to have been a condition of his licence that be should deal at defen dant's store and pay up his account, the amount of which he tendered after seizure of the gum. On the suggestion of a mediating constable, defendant, after some hours' detention, relinquished the gum, save one bag retained as being of sufficient value to cover all claims. Owing to this detention plaintiff set up that he was too late for that day's Auckland steamer, and while the gum was necessarily left on the ■wharf until a succeeding day, rain, which might otherwise have been escaped, came on, and damaged it It is under these cir cumstances plaintiff claims to recover the value of the gum still detained, and 5s per cwt on the residue for depreciation by the exposure to rain. Now apart from the fact that the agreement, as relating to an interest in land, should have been put into writing, it is not pretended that it was made a c audition of tse verbal license that the defendant should have a right to possess himself of such gum a3 might be dug on his land as security for either royalty or store account, aod as no such stipulation would be implied, it is clear that defendant was wrong in dispossessing the plaiutiff. As to damages : If the gum were perishable by rain, plaintiff should have been pro vided with means of protection ; but, apart from that, such damage -would be too remote; but, as the plaintift has had to pay a carter for lost time and himself lost time, directly owing to defendant's action, he may have two pounds, so that judgment will be for £5 ss, to bo reduced to £2, if the bag of gam, within seven days put on board the Auckland steaneer, freight paid consigned to the plaintiff at the Kaipara Steamship Company's office, Auckland wharf, execution not to issue until store account is paid or arranged for.— Costs, £11. John Mull ally v. Walter Paul.— Claim £25, value of horse, pig, &c.—Mr Theo. Coopor appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Tyler for the defendant.—The plaintiff, who is a carter, deposed that some time ago (viz., about August) he bought a colt, and on going to take delivery of it the defendant tiied to persuade him to buy another colt. After some con versation witness said that he would give his colt and £10 besides for defendant's colt, or rather horse, because it was four years old. These terni3 were accepted, and plaintiff thereupon puid over £5, which was all the money he had with him. On a subsequent occasion witness gave him £2 more. One day after this wit ness bought a boar at Hunter and Nolan's sale, and then at defendant's desire sold it to him at the same price for which he pur chased it. After the completion of this transaction the defendant drove away, in order to see witness's colt, and witness accompanied him on horseback. The defen dant, after seeing it, said he would rather have the money than it. They then con tinued on their way. Some minutes after wards the defendant cried out that the pig (which was in his cart) was dying— that it would be dead in two minutes. Witness offered to stick it for him, and on it being thrown out of the cart witness did so. Defendant then drove off, saying, " You can have it Jack." The proprietor of a hotel, near which the body ■was lying, threatened to prosecute witness for a nuisance unless the pig was shifted, and the expenses, therefore, which be had incurred in the removal formed part of the particulars of demand.—Walter Paul, a farmer, residing at Mangare, was then sw>ru. He deposed that he asked £25 for his colt, and that the plaintiff after men tioning that ho had a colt worth £15, offered to give it and £10 besides in ex change for witness's colt. Witness agreed to these terms, provided that he was pleased with plaintiff's colt. Witness saw it some time afterwards, and at once declined to have it at the value put upon it, but said that he would sell his colt for £22 10s cash. Witness saw the plaintiff subse quently when the latter was rather "elevated." The plaintiff was then desirous that witness should act as his surety in respect' of a night-soil contract for which he was tendering at the time, and he was profuse in his pledges to pay an old out standing account for £8. Ue denied ever having received any money in respect of the colt. After this evidence, Mr Cooper elected to accept a nonsuit. J. 15. JACKSON V. THOS. H. ROWAN.- Claim 7s 6d, use <»nd occupation of a house. —Mr Thorne appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Tyler for the defendant.—From the evidence given by the plaintift and his wife it appeared that the defendant engaged a house from them on a Satur day and occupied it theace till the following Monday when the key was re urned. Another tenant engaged and took p» ossion on} thel following day. As however the defendant had taken the house for a week and had occupied it part of the term the week's rental was claimed. His Worship held that by re-letting the house before the week for which rent was claimed had expired the plaintiff had virtu ally ousted the defendant from further use or occupation, and had therefore deprived himself of any ri^ht to sue for a week's reut. If auyone had a right of action it was the defendant. Judgment for the de fendant accordingly. The Court then rose.

The Fenian Organisation.

A CORRESPONDENT of the " New York Herald "supplies the following report ot an intorview he has recently had with a Fenian leader: — I chancac), some time sinco, he says, to meet in the city of Cork, a gentleman whose opinions aro most de cided on the question of physical force in dealing with England, and who is an activo worker in the ranks of tho revolutionary party, One night last week I met him in a retired house in the suburbs of Cork. I asked the gentleman "if the active party in Ireland were • really so strong as had been represented?" "Yes," he replied, "it is making steady progress, though it has been considerably weakened by the laud agitation, and tho necessary expulsion of somo of our own leaders in con sequence of their active co-operation with the land agitation." "Do you uot, then sympathise with tho land movement ?" I asked, considerably surprised. "On the contrary," said he; " the Feuiau brother hood totally objects to laud agitation, as the agitators will find to their cost very soon." "But it is generally believed that the revolutionary party are at the bottom of tho entire land movement?" "It is a mistake. The revolutionists' simple and sole object is a complete separation from England by force, believing that to be the only hope of attainiug their object. The land movement is, on the other baud, a purely selfish agitation, appealing not to tho patrio tism of tho people, but to their pockets. The land agitators teach tho people a fallacious idea that tin; land is theirs, that they may have it for nothing, and that the landlords are their natural enemies. We teach them that liberty and indopendonce is theirs, and that somo of the landlords may bo won to our side, and become our most valuable friends. Many landlords in the past have been Fin iaus. Smith O'Brien, Edward Fitz gerald, Emmett, John Mitchel—all land lords—were connected with tho cause. Tho landlords have monoy and could buy arms, and would raaku splendid officers, ami alto gether we have no wish to utterly nliuuato them. Wo have had connected with our organisation within [the last two or three yeurs the sons of several largo landlords in the various quarters of Ireland—young men whose influence, ability, and daring pro mised to be of tho greatest value, and tho source of much strength to the national cause ; but they have seen some of our leaders rallying to the standard of l'avnell, and observed our rank and file attending tho land meetings, and have consequently withdrawn their support. Purnoll knows all tho "centres of two provinces where he has been agitating. Ho has no busiuess to have this knowledge." Reverting to tho organisation of the brotherhood, 1 asked my informant if lie was at liberty to give an idea of the strength of tho forces. "In Ireland," he replied, taking from his waistcoat pocket a slip of paper, " the number of actual pay; ing members is as follows :—Ulster, 10,000- Mun3ter, 12,000; Leinster, 9000; Con naught, 5000-total, 3G.000. Before tho land agitation, or one year ago, there wcro 15,000 or 16,000 men in our ranks in Con naught. They had about £2500 in their treasury, too, and now they only have about £800. Where the money 13 gone Ido not know. They have purchased no arms, and, therefore, the cash is supposed to have been spent for imitation pikes, green Hags, and other equally interesting war material used atagitationmeeting*." " Whatarethcforces in England ?" " Across tho Channel the strength is as follows : —North ot England, 6000; South of England, 2500; Scotland, 3000 : total 11,500. This makes a grand total in England, Ireland, and Scotland of 47,500 men. Of the number iv Ireland, fully 12 000 are armed with Snider rilles, purchased or stolen iv England or bought m America?" "What possible hope have you of succeeding single-handed in an encounter with England?" "We never intend to try it. He will never repeat the blunder of Stephens, who was foiced into a rising by tho importunities of Irish friends i and compatriots in America, who insisted on lighting. We can afford to wait. In fact, that is our only chance. England must sooner of later be involved in a great war, and that will be our op portunity. In 1577, when a war was threatened with Rus9ia, overtures wero made in America to the Kussimu Ambassa dor at Washington, and also the Ambassa dor in Paris, by Irish agents, offering assistance, audjasking for war materials and officers. As no war ensued the negotiations, of course, came to nothing, but tne over tures were not declined, only postponed." " Are the constabulary of Ireland at all connected with the orpanisation ?" " No; taking the oath of allegiance disqualifies a member of the brother hood while the body remains in its civil state, and with few exceptions this has ap plied even to members Of Parliament. Of Parnell's active party in the present Parlia ment nearly every one of them have been members ot ' our firm.' One of the excep tions took the secret oath, but when called on for dues, refused to pay."

THE CASWELL SOUND MARBLE, PORTLAND CEMENT, AND MI NING COMPANY (LIMITED).

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—As a resident for some years in New Zealand—or rather, " for auld laud syne "— kindly permit me to^uiefly comment upon a prospectus of the Caswell Sound Marble Company, lately presented to the investing public of Australia. But, before doing so, I wish it to be clearly understood that I have nothing to say against the scheme itself; on the contrary, it appears to me, if honestly and properly carried out, to be as legitimate an investment as any placed in the market for some time.

Well, theprospectusatates, "The Gover nment of this colony, having been requested to makq the following grants and concessions in aid, have replied that they sympathise with the objects and intentions of the company, aDd are prepared to favourably consider proposals as far as possible within the pro visions of the existing law, as soon as the company is successfully floated, registered, and prepared to fulfil .its portion, of any agreements that may be entered into. (1.) That they guarantee 5 per cent on the actual subscribed capital of the company for a term of five years from the date of registration. Now, sir, it is against this part of the scheme that I desire to record my protest for the following reasons : —lf the New Zealand Government propose introducing this extraordinary phase of protection to native industry—viz., guaranteeing a di vidend of 5 per cent, for five years on the actual subscribed capital of this particular miiiinc company, how can it, in simple justice, refuse a similar boon to all the bank, finance, gold, coal, timber, etc., com panies at present existing, or which are likely to exist in the future ? Has this company promised to erect marble statues in memoriam of the Hall Ministry, and a slight token of respect, etc.; or if not, what is there of such national importance in the opening ot a marble quarry as to cause the Government to. dip its hand into the public purse, in order to guarantee the share holders againstjthe ordinary risks of com mercial life 1 Keferring again, however, to the prospectus, I find—and this may be the answer to the foregoing question—that the object of the promoters is partly to " awaken in the people of New Zealand more interest than they have hitherto dis played in developing the vast and untold mineral wealth of this colony." Apparently Dot content with a guaranteed interest on the capital for five years, the company then proceeds to make the capital itself :vs safe as possible by requiring "an absolute Crown grant of 5,000 acres of land including the whole of their present rights." Tho marble quarry being at present a Crown lease for 21 years, the company now demand its absolute possession. Again, "that they grant 20,000 acres of laud adjacent to"the Sound at 10s per acre, terms ten years without interest, also the right of cutting timber on other 20,000 acres, at a royalty of Is per 1,003 feet superfieiol; that they grant the right of iminingj for coal or other minerals on these rights); and last but not least, that they grant a bonus of £2,000 on the first £4,000 worth of marble sold; also, £1,000 on the first £2.000 worth of Portland Cement sold," Shades of good Queen Bess, Lord Bacon, Sir I Walter Raleigh, ana the Honourable East India Company !In reading tho fore going, one could almost imagine a return to the monopoly days of the Virgin CJueen and William Shakespeare ! In the EVENING Star lately I observed that the Lincolnshire special settlement in the Thames Valley was bound to pay in terest on the unpaid balance for the land purchased from the Auckland Waste Land Board, and yet this richly endowed mininf company wishes to escape paying a fair interest on £10,000 for ten years! Of course the company will have sold the land at a handsome profit (no wonder it confi dently names 300 per cent in twelve mouths) loii" before the ten years have expired. Although, as a staunch free-trader, I object on principle to the State coddling certain industries at the expense of others, I con sider the system of bonuses may, in anew country, be prudently applied. Had the Caswell Sound Marble Company, then, only asked for the bonus—the right to mine on certain lands "aa a boon" from the Go

vernment, and offered the ordinary market terms tor nny other requirements, this epistle would not have been written by— Yours truly, Brisbane. F. H. TROUP.

A DUEL FRUSTRATED.

An attempt was made recently to carry out a duel iv Melbourne, but was frustrated by tho intervention of the police who arrested tho challenger. It appears that for some time past tho social relations between Herr Ernest Speyer, secretary to the German Commission at the Exhibition, and Mr Max Hirsch, merchant, of that city, have uot been of an amicable nature. It having come to Spcycr's knowledge that his honor ns a gentleman had been assailed by Mr Ilirsch, ho sent a letter de manding an apology. This was refused, and Hirsch was then requested to sign a document withdrawing the alleged calumnious assertions. This proposition was also declined. Spnyer then, in the usual continental manner, sent a challenge to Mr Hirsch by a gentleman whom ho named as second, and awaited a reply. At this stage Mr Hugo Wertheim was consulted by Mr Hirsch, and the former gentleman took tho matter in hand and prevented tho meeting by swearing an information before Mr Call, P.M., to the effect that Mr Speyer had unlawfully sent a message to Max Hirsch, challenging him to light a duel. Upon this information a warrant was issued, and Mr Speyer was arrested by detective Callaghan and removed to the city watchhouso, where Dr Motherwell was in attendance, and at once admitted the accused to bail, in one surety of £100 and his own recognisauces of £200, to appear before tho City Bench.

MR SKINNER'S MISTAKE.

(From the " Now York Times.")

It is uot possible to permit it to puss un mentioned. Whou nn iucideut of uniquo interest and far-reaching importance happens, a newspaper is compelled to tuko notico of it. After all, this ia a world where wo must constantly aacridco our selves for others, and why Bhould tho jour nalist shrink from any duty, howovor pain ful it may be ? The tiagio event to which reference has Just been made could not have occurred in those earlier days when metal had not yet been usod for—in short, for 0110 of the purposes which it now serves. It is tlio opinion of all archaeologists that the primitive--or, we might say, the earliest form of the true—that is to say, tho sex at lirst used a .simple string. Within historic times strips of cloth of about an inch in width have boen Tory com monly used. Professor Huxley has in his possession a puir made of grey " listing," if that is the proper scientific term, which wore found in a remote Yorkshire village, and which aye believed to be not moro than 50 years old. Mr Darwin also has a siugle one made of a strip of black velvet, which he thinks belongs to n later stage of develop ment than tho pair in Professor Huxley's possession, and which was found near Salis bury Plain, and may havo been the property of tho daughter of the famous shepherd thereof. Tho use ot clastic webbing, made of blue or red silk woven over a central coro of indiarubbcr, is comparatively recent; aud it is asserted by authorities which demand our respect that this material is still very widely used. Of courao, statistics oa this subject can bo collected, if at all, with the greatest difliculty, aud wcro it not for the fact that quantities of this elastic webbin^ arc annually manufactured and sold wo would be totally unablo to prove that it is in active use. Evidence collected iv connection with the upsetting of carriages is to the last degree^trustworthy since in such moments the witness is almost sure to be labouring under moro or leas ex citement. Still, wo may assume that within the last ten years the clastic material in question baa been in very general use, and that the intoduction of metallic spiral bands, whether silver-plated or plain, has not yet superseded it. Mr Skinner r/as, of course, totally igno rant of the whole subject. He was a Methodist divinity student, and, in nil pro bability, ho had never dreamed that such an article existed. Beyond any question, he was unaware that metal was used in its manufacture, and there is not the least reason for doubting his solemn assertion that, prior to the recent tragedy, he had never laid his eyes cv a pair made of silver plated spiral wire. Nearly all the people of Brewster Centre, where he has resided so many years, believe his assertion, and hold that he is entirely iucapablo of prevarica tion, or of the greater crime with which ho has so unhappily been charged. Mr Skinner, as ia notorious, was engaged to be married to .he daughter of the leading cooper of Brewster Centre, and he made his lirst visit to New York early last week. It was while walking down tho Sixth avenue that his eye fell upon a silver-plated pair exposed for sale iv a shop window, and marked "Only 50 cents." Mr Skinner thought that this was an exceptional op portunity for buying a pair of beautiful bracelets for hi.» betrothed at a very cheap rate. The fact that the shop did not appear to be a jeweller's shop, but was devoted ap parently to the sale of ladiea' clothing, gavo him additional reason to imagine that the pair were much cheaper than they would have been at Tiffany's or elsewhere. He eutercd the shop, and finding an other pair precisely similar lyiug on the counter, he took them up and asked the young woman behind the counter their price. Finding that they wero only 50 cents., he examined them carefully, and asked if they were largo enough to fit a rather stout young lady iv Vermont. The shop-girl smiled, and replied that they certainly were not too small for any New England lady. Then Mr Skinner asked if she° would kindly put one of them on and Jet him see how it looked. To his utter amazement, the young woman called in a frightened tone upon "George," a large man in the rear of the store, and informed him that " this villain " —meaning the meek and innocent Skinner " wasinsulting her." " George," who was evidently a practical man, first required Mr Skinner to pay for the articles, and then, without giving him the slightest chance for explanation, kicked him into the street. Mr Skinner satisfied himself that both the young woman and "George" were either drunk or crazy, und as he wished to leave town that day, he forbore to appeal for justice to the police. Returning to Brewster Centre, he hastened to call on the daughter of the cooper. Usually, he' was not anxious to meet the cooper himself; for, though that respectable person was well-meaning in his way, he was quick tempered aud muscular, and as such was not a pleasant companion tor the modest and pulmonary divinity student. On this occasion he was, however, glad to have an opportunity to show the cooper his gen erosity, and he therefore mentioned that he had brought the daughter a present of a pair of bracelets from the city. The young lady was delighted, and waited anxiously while Mr Skinner undid the string and opened the box. "There, Sarah Ann 1" he exclaimed, as he exhibited the articles. " Those are what I call hand some, and I want you to let me put them on with my own hands this very minute." In his subsequent description Mr Skinner asserts that he thought at that time the world had come to an end. Miss Sarah Ann answered his innocent and affection ate petition with a loud shriek and a vio lent slap across his left cheek. Then the cooper joined in, and remarking that it "did seem to him that these parsons had just gone clean crazy," took Mr Skinner by the nape of the neck, and after shaking him with awful energy, " lired him out "—as young Master Robin j son, who witnessed Mr Skinner in the act of being shot out ot the front door, after wards said. Bruised (in body and dazed as to his mind, Mr Skinner sought his board ing-house and his bed. There in the course of the day he learned that accordiug to popular rumour be had grossly inßUltcd Miss Sarah Ann, and that public opinion was divided as to whether he was drunk or insane. At any rate, his engagement was broken off and his reputation was ruined. He has since disappeared from Brcwstor Centre, and fears are entertained that he has committed suicide. This sad event was unquestionably due to the introduction of steel spiral springs as a substitute for elastic webbing Mr Skinner honestly supposed he was bnying a pair of bracelets, and his mistake was not an un natural one. He knew nothing of the real nature of the supposed bracelets, and had he been informed what they were—we should say, had he known what they were—he would Fooner have died than li.ive touched I'iem, and would have preferred the rack or the stocks to the commission of so horrible an offence as the open and public offering of them to Miss Sarah Ann. The thing is done now, and there is no help for it, but all good men will ask themselves whether the public exposure of such articles in shop windows is consis tent with a high and true morality.

The Governor's Reception.

At the meeting of the Reception Committee late yesterday afternoon, it was resolved that the lino of route for the procession to take after His Excellency's arrival should be as follows ;—Up Queen, Grey, and Fitt« streets, along Karangahape Koad and Symonds-street to O'Rorke-street, thence along Princes-street to Government House. If time permits, tho Corporation will issue handbills after the arrival of the man-o'-war stating the hour agreed upon for the land ing. As soon as the vessel drops aucbor she will be boarded by Messrs D. 11. McKenzie (Chairman) J, M, Brig ham (Secretary), and Mr Masefield, of the Harbour Board, who will welcome the Governor accompany him to the wharf and escort him thenco to the city boundary where the acting Mayor and Councillors will receivo him. It is especially desired that all hotel-keepers and tradesmen in the thoroughfares mentioned above, will "hang out their banners on their outward walls" which every effort, private or otherwise, to lend eslat to tho ceremonial will be very accept able, There is no reason to doubt that after this there will bo a loyal and cordial response. The only fear is for the weather. It is rather threatening at present, but tho clouds may lift and disperso before the morning.

SOIREE AT ONEHUNGA.

TilK anniversary soirco ot the Oiiohunga Wesleyan Church was held last night. Tho attcudauco was less than on previous years, caused, wo learn, by counter attractions at Maugarc and Otuhuhu, which detained tlio friouds from those districts who usually attend at the Onehunga anniversary soireoH. After a sumptuous tea, tho meeting was adjourned to tho church. C. J. Stone, Esq., was invited to take tho chair, and in a neat speech introduced the business of tho evening, stating his long and uuabated interest in Methodism generally, and tho Onchunga section in particular. Tho Rev. J. Law, tho respected pastor of the church, reviewed tho pint year's work, and deplored tho want ot fixed occupation at Onehunga, by which numbers who camo amongst ns for a timo could not bo kept here, and the hindranco such was to gain ing a vigorous cause in this town. Ho also took occasion to refer to the loss this church had sustained in the death of Mr J. Bycroft, who had been ouo of the earliest and most zealous of its members. Tho steward, Mr Fleming, then gave tho cash report for tho year, showing a balance to credit of £5 4s 3d to begin tho new year with. Tho Rev. J. Hnmcr followed with an address on anniversaries generally,

dwelling upon tho variety of such, which wo all had an interest in. The Rev. Mr Huddle then gavo nn address on tho signs of church prosperity, in which he deprecated testing such by a monetary standard. Ho would like much to see iv reports the state of religion more detailed, and, if possible, Buch should in clude causes of failure or success, as guides for futuro action. Ho approved ot the definition given to Methodism by a good brother, as Church of Eng landism felt, aud finished an Interesting speech by inculcating upon the audience to seek after perfect sanctilication and allow nothing less to satisfy their souls. During tho evening the Maori students of the Three Kiucs, under tho ablo conducting of Miss Buddie, favoured the company with a number ot choice pieces of music, which were highly appreciated by the meeting, as signified by the hearty applause given after each performance. Tho precision and harmony these young Maoris huve attained reflects great praise upon Miss Buddie, who is their leader and instrumentalist on all occasions, and shows the results of culturo in our dusky neighbours. Great disappoint ment was expressed at the absence of the two principal speakers promised, viz. : tho Revs. S. Baker and Dewsbury, and no apology having been received from either made the blanks all the more unaccountable and annoying. Votes of thanks were cordially given to the choir, the speakers, and the ladies for their services during tho evening, and being duly acknowledged, the meeting was brought to a cloro by singing the Doxology.
