If the ense had gone into Court he was prepared to be bound over.—Judgment was given for tho plaintiff with costs. T. M. Machattib v. Thos. Craig.— Claim, £11 6s 9d, use and occupation.—Mr Armstrong appeared for tho plaintilF and Mr Thoo. Cooper for the defendant.—The plnintifl iv his evidence explained that he engaged his present ollico on the distinct understanding that the defendant was to take half of it. The defendant did select nnd enter into occupation of a part of it, which he subsequently sub divided between himself and Baron De'lhierry. This neces sitated the erection of a partition, the tim ber for whicli witness procured at detcndaii t's request, besides engaging for him a carpenter. Tho defendant; never gave him notice that the room would not be required farther. The rent for the whole ofiicc was £1 per week, and he claimed from the defendant rent at the rate of 10s per week from August 2nd to November 29th, with the cost of timber nnd carpenter's services included.—To Mr Cooper : He and Mr frost carried ova commission agency. Ue was not iv partnership with Baron JDeThierry, but ho was a native agent as well. When DcThierry brought him any blocks of native land for sale be give him part "f the commission. It was not true that Frost said he wan determined to work a swindle, and that Mr Craig then l;ft saying that under snch cir cumstances he wonld have nothing more to do with the matter.

William Lockhart, a carpenter, deposed th it lie was engaged by Mr Maehattie to clftct the alterations to the room spoken of, and that Mr Craig interfered with him nud ordered him to do the work in a par ticular way. Witness referred him to Mr Machnttiej but there were so many dis agreements in connection with the job that witness ultimately picked up his tools and left tee place. Ho looked to Mr Mnchattic for payment for the work dine,—This being the plaintiff's case Mr Cooper urged that a nonsuit should be recorded.—The plaintiff having agreed to this course a nonsuit was duly recorded. —Iv answer to His Worship MrCraig said that he had engaged tlie room for 43 a week, but afterwards threw it up on hearing that a swindle was being entered into.

The Mount Eden Fire

CORONER'S INQUEST.

AN outline ai the evidence adduced at the fne inquest yesterday afternoon appeared in our last impression. We now give thu testimony of William Sibbiu and Sergeant Clark at greater length :—

William Sibhin deposed that he was a clerk in the office of the National Insurance Company, and fpsidcj at the Horth Shore. He knew Richard Owen by sight. (Prisoner identified.) He had heard of Mr Edward's house being des troyed on the 14th ult. -About a fortnight prior to that date an application was made by Owen to insure the building m the National, He brought in a £1 note with which to pay the policy. Having as certained trom him that the house was detached, witness said that £1 would insure for £120. From further inqniiies, however, witness learned that the detach ment waa under 30 feet. When he told him that the house could not be insuredffor so much, Owen then said that ho would call in again and see Mr Williams, as he was acquainted with the place. He did not call again, however. Iv answer to a question Owen had said that Mrs Edwards sent him to insure. To Mr Russell: There was nothing in Owen's manner to excite suspicion of any thing being wrong. Sergeant Clark deposed that on the night of the fire he was aroused at 12.25, aud that he proceeded at once to the scene. He enquired from Owen how the lire originated, and in what way he received the alarm. He replied that ho was awoke by the noise which the lining and the ceiling above hia bed made in burning. Witnes.3 suggested that he might have been reading in bed, and have dropped on" to sleep before the light went out. He said that he had only half-an-inch of candle by which to read and that after it went out he wont to sleep. Witness then asked if there had been any fire in the hearth? Owen then answered, " Very little." He next re marked that some fire might have dropped on the floor, but Owen replied :" No; there was very little fire on the hearth.' Witness then left him, but returned to him after a while, when he said that the fire must have originated in the kitchen because it was full o£ smokowhen ne awoke and the partition was on fire. Witness ask6d him how he reconciled this witii hU former statement, but he could make no answer. He subsequently admitted that ne had made a fire on the hearth. Detective Jeffrey also gave evidence as to statements made to him by Owen on the night of the fire. Charles Williamson, house and land, a^ent, deposed to having had Mr Edward s property (the house which has been destroyed) in his hands ior sale. It was placed in his hands on the 9th of August by Richard Owen, on behalf of Ed warns. (The authority to sell wu=i producel.) The amount was £300, and this was afterwards reduced to £260. He did not sell. This being all the evidence the jury retired in order to confer together. After an hour's deliberation they found " that there is not sufficient evidence to show how the fire originated.'1 The Foreman informed Mr E. Hesketh (solicitor for the United Insurance Associa tion) that the jury expected, to receive some payment for the time they baa spent at the inquest, while Mr Evinsonalso looked for some remuneration for the use of his Mr: Hesketh promised to represent the matter to the Association.

The War in South Africa.

Hy the arrival ot the Urioat steamship Lusitauia at Melbourne we are in receipt of news from the Caps to 26th October. The paperacontainparliculara of the engagements between trie forces of the South African colonies and the Basutos, The following extracts will be perused with interest: - RELIEF OF MAFETENG. On Tuesday morning, tin 19th October, ISBO, at four o'clock a.m., the column con sisting of some I.SOO men marched to the relief of Mafeteng, accompanied by forty waggons and about sixty to seventy natives. The morning broke lino, and was all that could be wished. There was great enthusiusm among the troop. Directly tlie column entered Ba sutoinnd, lire was opened by the euemy at a very long range on the left from the si-lo of some lush hills. After passing the range, the first yeomanry commenced skir mishing on the left up a slope. Some of the men dismounted, opeuiDg fire upon a fow Basutos retreating over tlie ridge. Two troops of the Ist C.M.V. followed, when arriving near the brow of tho ridge, one of the main bodies of the. Basutos, some 800 to 1000, swept down upon this small body of troops with the velocity of a whirl wind. Tho Jiasutos were in the midst of the tvi'o troops in n few seconds. Here occurred tho severe loss of the day. Some thirty-fivo troopers of the Ist CM. Y. being killed and ten wounded. The Yeomanry wavered for an instant, and all was confusion, in which many were killed, but they were splendidly rallied by their ollicers, who.io cull they gallantly amwered, charged and drove the euemy back, although they were supported by some 2000 others. The enemy's loss iv this encounter was small, but 28 of the Yeomanry were killed and 8 wounded, most asrogaied. The Yeomanry alter this dislodged the enemy from a. neighbouring village, whicli they burnt. A litiio further on the enemy opened a severe lire on our righr, and the CM. 11. were twice charged, but stood their ground well, and by their wcll-direct'jd fiio never allowed the liasutos to como nearer than 300 yards. At tho saino time tho enemy win keeping up a hot lire from the right of tlie Kulibanyu, which wounded one of the ad vaucod skirmishers and killed another. The 1). IS. 0.V.1t, tlien opened n severe and well directed lire, which, with tlie aid of a lew shells and a charge by the Yeomanry from the left side of the mountaiu, covered the lodge of rocks and forced tho position. Tho column renewed its advance, and, after a lull, file was againopeuedon tho skirmishes iv advance from the left ; and another attack was threatened by a huge bo.ly, soiiio 2000 to 3000 strong, but a few well • directed shells dispersed them ; Mafeteng beina reached without further opposition at about ono o'clock. Firing cuiumcuccd about forty-live minutes past six, and contiuued until nine a.m.. the attack being from threo Bides, and the number of the eueiny in action being variously computed at horn 6,000 to 8,000. Our men behaved throughout with a most exemplary cooluess, and, in repelling the charge by the Ist Yeomauiy too much cannot be said in praise of tho ollicers and men. Many horses were lost. The loss of tho enemy is unknown. Our casualties, thirty-one killed and ten wounded.

CAPTURE OF LEROTIIOniS BTRUJNGUOLD.

Leaving the laager near Mafcteng, pro tected by the three Yeomanry Regiments, the Kimborley Horse, and the First City Volunteers, Birgadior - General Clarko moved the remainder of thu force soon after 3 o'clock on the rooming of tho 22ud October, augmented by all the men that could be spared from the garrison of Mafo tcug, against the village of Lcrothodi, situated on a strong mountain position, some three miles distant. The force was placed under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Carrington, C.M.X. Daylight broke as they approached tho village, and the rebels were thereby enabled to occupy it in sulliciently strong force to prevent a surprise, which was nearly effected. The troops gained a rocky plateau, some 900 yards from the neck on which the village is situated, without loss, although the natives held it in some force. The rebels were seen hurrying in largo numbers from all parts of the country, and shortly held the village in strong force. The 7 pounder gun and two SJ-inch mortars were dragged up to the plateau we had gained by haiitf, and tho lire from the guns soon drove those in the open to a respectful distance. As largo numbers had occupied a rocky gorge on our right, in which they were secure from our lire, it was not deemed advisable to carry the village by a direct attack, ami the Kim berley Horse were, soon aftor eight, seni for from camp, as our numbers were scarcely adequate to]the storming of so for midable a position ; they arrived at teu o'clock. The rebels on our right had by this time also taken possession of a dry sluit, from which they supported those in the gorge. It was then determined by Col. Carrington to try to drive the rebels from the gorge, which was attempted by the C.M.It, aud tho P.A.V. Guard, but their strength was not sufficient for the purpose. This pirty vas then reinforced by a portion of the Cape Town Volunteers. The whole then, led by the C.M.R., under Captain ShcrvingtoD, charged the sluit across tho open ground iv the most gallant manner, driving tho enemy from it. The rebels in the gorge seeing that their Hank was in danger of being turned, evacuated it, and were punished severely as they left by a heavy tire from tho gun aud the small arms of the troops on tho plateau and the flat below. It was then determined to carry the village by a direct front attack, which was made with entire success by the troops on the plateau, and at half-pa« one tho village was in our possession, and the rout of the enemy complete. Two prisoners were taken. Tho natives must have suffered severely.

THE REBYLLION IN GRIQUALAND EAST.

On the 24th October an express was received from tho magistrate of Tsolo, Mr Welsh, rcportiug that Mr Hope, magistrate of' Qumbu, and two of his officers, Warren and Ileuman, had been murdered. The camp, Mr Hopes, was pitched at the main road between Uni hlouhlo place and the mission station at Sulcnkama, near the great placo of Umhlon hlo. They were waiting for Umhlonhlo to get his men together. Umhlonhlo's men began a dance, which was supposed to bo loyal, the magistrates and the Europeans looking on. They were dancing in a semi circle, as is the custom. The warriors of the tribe made feints at stabbing, and on one of the occasions Mr Hope and the Europeans were killed. Umhlonlilo is now plundering trading stations.—" Cape Times," October 2Cth.

THE PRESBYTERY MEETING.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your usual courtesy will allow me to correct a printer's error in the report of yesterday's Presbytery proceedings. The statement which I made iv reply to an ollioial enquiry was tha1; collections had not been madeiu the congregations of which I had temporary charge, but would be made since enjoined". You will now oblige by giving equal publicity to the reason. The tiuth is, some of us who have laboured to promote the objects of the Church Extension Fund at considerable coat of both time and money have felt some delicacy in asking congregations, which can, with difficulty, meet their own expenses, to make collections in aid of funds which are to a large extent, diverted from their proper objects, and to which, on this account, many are unwilling to contribute. For the same reason, as I have stated in the Presby tery aud Assembly, I decline personally to to connect myself with, or contribute to, the Widow's and Orphans' Fund in the Presby terian Church, as called upon to do by v cicrular emanating from the authorities of that body ; becauso I find this valuable Eund is subject to a regular charge of 10 per cent, reduction, towards makiDg up tho " Travelling AgeutV salary of £720 a year, and further I see that a sum of £140 was last year abstracted from the capital account of the fund, being one-tenth of the ■ whole principal sum available, in addition to the application of the subsi dies received from the home churches to a large extent to tho same object, even although nothing had last year been col lected by the agent and very little by the church for these funds. When the Com mittee has to listen, as it had to do yester day, to applications made in vain for supply in country districts, and to the painful appeals of preachers from distant pirts of the colony for increase of their miserable salaries, and wo are reminded how soon the widows and orphans of hard-worked and under-paid labourers, who haveboen brought out here under various representations, may come to be cast on the poor provision of such a fund a3 this, perhaps the sooner anomalies of the kind I have referred to coma to an end the better for all parties. I regret that my views of church finance should not be agreeable to every one, or to any one who may still look with complacency on a " good job ;" but as these opinions are not based on a mere colonial experience, or biassed by any personal consideration, I am cot to he driven into disingenuous silence by any amount of

wire-pulling or rough horsemanship.— j I am, ifec, | A. M. McCallum. Lako, North Shore, December 2, 1880.
