The sheep were perfectly clean when landed. He, therefore, hoped tho Bench wonld inflict a nominal penalty. i His Worship said after the statement ot the Inspector he would inflict a nominal tine of 40s; but this must not be regarded ks a precedent. . . I The fine was paid immediately, the captain remarking that he was ignorant of the passing of the new Sheep Act. A DESERTED WIFE. Mrs Buck applied for tho admission of her two children to the Industrial Home as she desired to get a situation, her husband havine deserted her eight years ago. Sub-Inspector Pardy thought the case was one for the Believing Officer, and not for the Industrial School. His Worship said ho had an objection to sending children under the age of 4 years to the Industrial School, as it interfered with the training ot the elder children. If the committee liked to admit the younger child, they might do so, but ho would not break through the rules of the Home. Ho would nee Mr Graham before taking my action in the matter. Sub-Inspector Pajdy said he would sec Mr Graham respecting the matter. His Worship said he could not put the youn»er child into tho Homo, and to put ho older one in wonld doprive the mother of her assistance in taking care of tho vonngcr children.

His Worship :Do all these liquors come within the category of spirituous and fer mented liquors? Sub-luspcctor Kenny': I do not know whether "lime-juice champagne" comes, within that category. His Worship : I think we ought to cm pannel.a jnryof three teetotallers to try the | question. .■- ■< ■ • Sub-Inspector Pardy :We had better send to the Custom-house tor iuformation. "His Worship : I soothe regulations do not very well lit in with the Act. The sup position is that tho condemnation shall be made by the magistrate of the native dis trict in which the goods were found. This is not a native district. Sub-Inspector Kenny : The Act says the most convenient place. His Worship : That was ignored by the regulations. The Act says one thing and the regulations say another. - His Worship drew attention to the dis crepancies between the 3rd and 15th sections and the regulations with regard to the place" where the condemnation should be made and the disposal of the goods. Sub-Inspector Kenny after examination of the Act and regulations concurred with His Worship. He also applied that a portion of the proceeds of the goods seized, should be appropriated to the informer. After some delay he produced a bottle ot

the mysterious compound (lime-juice champagne), nud stated that tho Collector of Customs was unable to send over an ollicer, as they wero all engaged, but he had scut over a bottle of the lime-juice champagne to be tested by the Court, The bottle was opened and tested, aud found to bo fermented aud alcoholic.

SUPREME COURT.—CIVIL SITTINGS. THIS DAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice liichmond,

j) ail a special jury.) Richard SiursoN v. Michael,Corcoran. —Action foi specific relief. —Mr Tyler (instructed by Mr George) appeared for tho plaintiff, and Mr E. Hcsketh for the defendant.- While tho jury was being cmpannelled, Mr Edward Lowia was challenged on behalE of the defendant. — Hi 3 Honor expressed tho opinion that in a common cause liko that before tlio Court peremptory challenges ot jurors could not bo made. Authorities wero consultod, mid fully sustained h's Honor's ruling, one writer stating that tho right of peremptory challenge could only bo allowed in cases of felony and treason.—The empannollingwas tiiou proceeded with, and Mr Thomas L. Mncky wan chosen foreman of the jury. —Mr Tyler, iv opening tho case, said that tho action was one for specific relief. It wai different somewhat from ordinary actions, becauso the jury had only to find answers to certain issues—no ver dict lithcr ono way or another being re quired. It was an acticn iv which tho plaintiff sought to compel tho specific per formance of an agreement entered into between him and the defendant ou tho 13th'

ot" July last—aa agreement in which tlio plaintiff agreed to 801 lto tho defendant an hotel known aa the Star and Garter, and in which the defendant agreed to purchase it

at a specified price. Tho contract was to have baeu completed ou the first of August List, a.id possession taken by the defendant. The learned gentleman then rehearsed tho short facts or his case. Having done this ha went on to say that there were iifceral defences. The iir.it was that by mutual consent the contract was rescinded and there was another to tho effect that the coutract was rescinded in consideration of tho sum of £2. Tho main defence, however, was that the defendant was drunk and incapable at the tijuo that the agreement wlb made and si"ued. Evideuca was then adduced.— Charles Alfred Southwell Shaylo George was tho first witness. Ho deposed that ho was :i member of the linn of Hughes and

George, plaintiff's solicitors,- and nlso the solicitors for the completion of the agreo nicnt. It was to have been comploted ou the Ist of August last. On tho 2O'th of August ho wrote a letter about it, hut received no reply. Mr Richmond, .defen dant's solicitor, howevar, scat him a mes sage, in consequence of which ho called at the gentleman's ollice. Mr Ricluroud asked to bo allowed to sco tho agreement, and wit ness shewed it to him next day. Witness asked him if Mr Corcoran intended to com plete the agreement, and the answer was " No; that Mr Corcoran was in a slate of intoxication at the time it was made.' Witness then asked if ho should tender a conveyance, hud Mr Richmond re plied in the uegativo saying further that ha had better see Mr Corcoran ou tho matter. Witness then prepared nud pro duced to Mr Corcoran an abstract of the conveyance of tho property and of a mort gage from plaintiff to Esther Kecsiug. The priucipal and iuterest became due in April last and the mortgage would have been signed on paynieut ot the money, and ho himself was propared to stamp aud regis ter all deeds. When he prepared tho document he went with them to Mr Cor corau's private residence where they were tendered and refused, the defendant saying " I do not intend to have anything to do with it. You can tender away because Ido not intend to complete it."—Richard Simpson deposed that he was the pro prietor of the Star and Garter Hotel ut Coromaudel, and was so in July last On the 13th of that month Mr Corcoran and Mr Dunbar entered the hotel and had a drink. The former person having been introduced by Mr Dunbar, remarked, " Well, you've a fine house here ; what do you want for it f Witness replied, £1,500. They then left the bar and looked through tho rooms ou the ground floor. After tho inspection had been finished, Mr Corcoran offered him £500 for tho house. Witness said that it was quite insufficient, and in vited tho gentlemen to examine the upper rooms. They did so, and Mr Corcoran theu said, " I'll give you £1,000 for the place, but no more." Witness answered that ho would accept the oiler, as his wife hart had her leg sprained, and ho thorc foro wanted to go out of tho house. Mr Corcoran stated that they should have an u"reenient drawn up at once, aud therefore witness weut to the telegraph ollice, pur chased some stamped paper, and got a Mr Ktcele to draw up an agreement nt Mr Corcoran's dictation. Mr Rayner, a Justice of the Peace, and Mr Nankcwis came in and attested ihe signatures to the agreement. Before being sisrued, however, Mr Steele read it ouce, and Mr Rayner read it once to Mr Corcoran, who declared it to be all right, aud signed it. He then wrote out a cheque upon the Bank of New Zealand for £50, and tendered it to witness as a deposit upon the transaction. He also gavo Mr Steele a cheque for £5, in payment of his trouble. He slept at the hous.e that night. About 7 o'clock the next morning he came to witness, who was in the bar, aud aaked to be allowed to see the cheque which he had written out on the previous night, saying that he believed it was drawn on the wrong bank. Witness handed it to him, and Mr Corcoran at once tore it to pieces, saying tbat it had not been written out properly— that it was no good. Witness replied that lie expected another cheque in lieu of the one torn up, and defendant, without answering, went away. The torn pieces of the cheque were collected and preserved. {Produced.) On Saturday, the 17th of the month, Mr Steele and Mr Corcoran entered tho hotel |together, andwent into a privato room. Mr Steele osme to witness and said that Mr Corcoran desired to see the agree ment. Witness took it into them, and holding the agreement down on the table, allowed it to ba perused. Mr Corcoran admitted the signature to bo hi?, and then as witness _ was unsuspiciously placing the document in his pocket he suddenly Reized it and told witness he might do as he pleased about it. Witness informed the sergeant of police about the matter.—Mr Tyler was proceed ing to prove the agreement when Mr Hes* keth said that it was admitted. His client would say that it was given him and that he tore it up on his way to Auckland. —In cross-examination the witness said tbat he had oreviously offered the hotel to several people. He had offered it for £1,000 and tor less than that sum also. He had offered to sell the hotel to Mr P. Brodie for £500, the' stock and furniture to be taken at a valuation. Brodie refused to accept. He made an offer likewise to Mrs Waterman, the term? being £700 for the house and fur niture, the stock to be taken at a valuation. She did Dot accept either. Only three nnd not bight bottles of. champagne were drunk on the night that the agreement was made. Witness shouted one, Steele another, and Corcoran the third. Corcoran had not to be put to bed ; he was shewn to his bed. Witness could not say that Corcoran was not, during the aftornoon and night, shout ing for everyone who entered the hotel. When Corcoran came down stairs on tho tollowin" morning, witness did not say to him, "l)o you know that you bought this hotel last night?" and neither did Corcoran tax him with larking with him. Neither did witness then Bay, " Yes; and I've got your chequo for the deposit," as ho produced it He did not tell Corcoran either that ho was indebted for eipht bottles of fizz. His expennes came to £2. He was not twaro that from the Mpnday of his arrival till tho Saturday of his departure Mr Corcoran was constantly drinking.— Re-examined by Mr Tyler : At the time tbat the transaction took place a rush to the Tiki was anticipated. The fragments I of the* torn cheque were pieced together and sold by Mr George in order to raise tho necessary funds for bringing tho present action.—Fredeiick Edward Bromley Steelo, an agent and newspaper correspondent, resident at Coromandel, was tbenextwitness. He corroboiated the plaintiffs statement with-regard to the. sale of tho hotel.— Captain Rayner, general merchant and Justice of the Peace, also gave evidence touching the sale of the hotel. He attested the signatures to the agreement, and ap pended his own after both parties had gioniiied their satisfaction with the docu ment Mr Corcoran was not drunk at the time —Alfred Silk, stationer of Coromandel, deposed to a conversation which he and a Mr Nankervis had had with Mr Corcoran, in the course of which the latter told them that he had bought tho Star and Garter Hotel tor £1,000. Corcoran said that if the find at the Tiki turned out well he expected to sell the place for £5,0>.U The man, evidently, had had a glass or two, but he was perfectly sober. He seemed to I be excited over his good bargain. (Left Sitting.)

Lime-juice Champagne.

The momentous question which. encaged the logal miud of tlio Courts, the clerks, ( and tho polico this morning, was whether a compound known as " Lime-juice Champagne " is a ferraoatcd and spirituous., liquor, or a beverage itt for tho most cou sciontious Good Templar. Amongst the goods seized at Whangamata was a quantity of this mysterious beverage. Tho Bench, always anxious to adhoro to the atrict letter of the law, was troubled with con punctious Waitings of conscicnco as to whether " lime-juiced champagno " comos withiu the desigaatiou of fermented and spirituous liquor and is liable to seizuro and confiscation under the outlying .Districts sale of Spirits Act. In this dilomna tho Court proposed to submit the question to the decision of a jury of teetotallers. Sub-Inspector Purdy, howoYer, sugcostcd away out of the difficulty by sending for a Custom House officer whose woll-trained palate would, of course, at once detect tho presence ot alcohol. lint unfortunately no such otlicial could bo found, and the Court had to fall back on its own inexperienced resource?. A bottle of the compound, gorgeously arrayed in gold leaf and guilt letters, was produced in sight ot the Court, and .Detective Jef frey, with the skill of a practised hand, removed the attractive seal and drew tl.e cork, which came out with an explosive " pop," that act the mouths of muuy red noacd old " habitues" a-watering. Several tumblers wero then produced by v constable from some mysterious place of concealment, and amidst the breathless suspense of the spectators, the Court, Mr Cunningham, and Sub-Inspector Pardy proceeded to sample the liquors, with all the solemn gravity of old connoisseurs. Tho Sub-Inspector was the first to break the awful silence, unhesi tatingly pronouncing too liquor fermented and spirituous, and vouchsafing the informa tion that oven the Good Templars' favourito beverage, gioger wine, is alcoholic, contain ing spirits of wiuc. The Sub-Inspector further took tho Court and tho public into his confidence, by stating that ho was at at one time engaged in tho manu facture of these compounds. The Court, alter tasting the "lime-juice cliam pague" aud critically scrutinising the contents of the tumbler, remarked, " Why, it's in a state of fermontafton now," mJ ti.o clerk hastened to support the dictum of the Bench by adding, between a succession of Kiiidcks, " Yes, Your Worship." In order to give weight to its decision, the Court, however, suggested that Mr Grigg- should taste the liquor, but " the poet, who, has successfully wrestled with "tho drmk fiend" for thirty-five years, gravely and deprecatingly shook his hoary head by way of declining the tempting offer. Tho reporters, who consider their claims to analytical skill in experimental chemistry to have been super ciliously overlooked, were not consulted. Ultimately, after Detective Jeffrey had identified tho bottle, and unhesitatingly pro nounced its contonts alcoholic, the Bench, came to a decision on tlii - momentous ques tion, and ordered tho "lime-juico cham pagne " to bo confiscated.
