RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.—Yesterday.

(Before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., R.M.)

The following cases were heard after we •went to press : — Brown and Booth v. Washer—Claim, £6. Mr.-X. Browning appeared for the defend ant; the plaintiffs appeared in person. The claim was for wages forfeited to the plain tiffs by the defendant in lieu of notice.— Mr Browning contended that the action could not be sustained as defendant had never entered the service of complainants. Mr Booth produced an agreement which defendant signed in accordance with the rules of the firm, but afterwards he asked for certain concessions wnich could not be entertained. —According to tlje agreement, the defendant was not to sell for any other person milk, or " any' Other liquid known as milk." The said this was to provide against the sale of a commodity known as;" condensed " milk. Judgment for plaintiffs with costs (16s). / D. Forgie v. Davis.—Claim 49s 9d. M^r Coleman appeared for the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a baker (retired from Parnell) and the defendant was described as a car penter and "professional boxer." The claim was for bread.—Defendant denied the claim; he did not even know the plain tiff. It was shewn that bread and buns were daily left at Mr Davis' house, and that he had promised to liquidate the account.—Judgment for plaintiff with costs,

Forgie v. Elliott,—claim £510-s 7d. "Mr Coleman for plaintiff. This was a claim for bread which plaintiff proved. Judgment for plaintiff with cost 3. Forgie v. Fryer.—claim £57 Oa Bd.—Mr Coleman for plaintiff who obtained judg ment with costs.

Ah Guit v. Campbell.—Claim £7.' Mr E.W. Burton for plaintiff; Mr Mackechnie for defendant. This! was an action for trespass by the defendant on the property, of the plaintiff at Cox's Creek. A large amount of conflicting evidence was given in this which was finally adjourned for more particulars until next Court day. A Suggestion. —Mr Theo. Cooper asked that other cases might he adjourned until next day, otherwise the Court would sit until a late hour. His Worship said that they had plenty of gas, so that light could be thrown upon their deeds. Mr Cooper replied there was always a sufficiency of gas at the table. 4 THIS DAY. Mood v. Buchanan, claim £58.—Mr Earl for , plaintiff.— Mr Alexander for defen dant.—ln this case the plaintiff claimed for H quantity of stone quarried at Baglati to the order of defendant^ mason in Auckland, at the rate of 3s per cubit yard.—Plaintiff deposed that the order was executed in due course, delivered at Onehunga, and money paid on account of freight, by him.—The defence was a set off amounting to £32, which had been paid by defendant for freight.—Plaintiff deposed that he had ap plied to Mr Russell in the matter, but had not attempted to lay a -claim for £ICO. _ He had no ready money to prosecute his claim. He spoke to Mr J. B. Graham, who had written- to Mr Buchanan in respect of the claim. Received some money from Mr Buchanan in Juno or July. Received £2. The measurements of the stone where his own, but he could not say that the calcula tions were quite correct. Taylor then measured the stone, but did not remember defendant Baying Taylor's measurements are incorrect He was very particular as to the agreement, and did not care to go to Mr Bu chanan's yard; the stone was to be measured at Onehunga; he tried to get possession of the stone to turn it into money, which he wanted very much. By Mr Earl; some of the lots were not carried out in bill of par ticulars ; did not know how many feet of stone Mr Buchanan had given him credit for; he never could get any satisfaction from defendant; he would appoint times of meeting, and when he went, he found that Mr Buchanan was far away; he was runn ing after him day by day; he objected to go to Mr Buchanan'H yard to wait about all day to see tbe stone measured ; that would have been going beyond the agreement. He made Mr Asher his agent in the matter ; he knew the figure, 3s a foot, and wos em powered to receive the money for him. Thomas Asher, deposed that Mr Mood appointed him to act as his agent, iv March j last. He only received two lists from Mr Mood. He wrote to Mr Buchanan to the effect that the stone was in Onehunga. Mr Buchanan received the list, but returned it. He was instructed that defendant would measnre h and give him the money. Did not measure it himself. Ho knew nothing of the first load which arrived; only of the second and third. Did not see it measured. Had to pay all claims, freight, and-cartage^ Did not pay freight; . only took £5 on his account, or he should have paid freight. He believed 14 feet went to a ton.—His Worship: That depends upon the density of the stone.—■ Witness said he only spokefromhearsay. He ■was not in the line, and could not speak from experience.—Cross-examined by Mr Alexander: Did not check either of the loads. Could not swear to any particulars. Got weary of his billet, and did not take so much notice"as he should have done.—John Andersen, quarryman, of Raglan, had been working for Mr Mood. He quarried the greater part of Mr Buchanans stone. Had not always been a quarryman. Had worked inquarries in his native country (Sweden). Mr Mood measured the stone. Allowance was made for waste caused by dressing.— To His Woiship : He was paid accordipgto the amount of work he did.—James Taylor, stone-carver, gave evidence.' He went to B<fe the stone. Tried to got it for his own me, but was told that Mr Buchanan had paid freight.on it. He measured it. It was a liberal measurement, 160 ft. Bin. This was the third lot. Mood measured it, and in his opinion was quite competent. He would have given 3s per foot, had' the freight been "paid to Onehunga. 14 cubit feet goes to a ton.—This was plaintiff's case.—Mr Alexander then called evidence for the defence, in which it was shown by defendant that while he-admitted several | charges, viz., £14 4s lid, £17 19s sd, and I £19 17s, amounting to £52 Is 4d, he had paid £32 5s tor freight, and deducting for errors of measurement and moneys 'ad^ vanced, he was indebted in the amount of 4d. He contended there was 5 per cent. Joss in the waste. The stone was badly quarried. He had 19 years' experience asa stonemason. To His Worship : He reduced the amount of freight as much as possible. Mr Waller made a certain demand, and he paid at the rate of 12s 6d per foot.' Plaintiff was to have.paid the freight, but did not do so.; Mr Waller spoke to him, and he could only get the stone by) becoming responsible for the freight. In fact, if he had not paid it, the stone would have been sold away from him.—Cross-examined by Mr Earl: Had never had a list of any of the- stone. He guaranteed the freight, and paid it, for i Mr Mood.—To His Worship :He trusted to Mr Cunningham, of Onehnnga, to act for him in receiving the stone.— After some further evidence, jndgment was given for plaintiff, for 4d with costs. Adjourned Cases. Maclean v. Brown and Garlick.—Trustee in the estate of J. R. Davidson, land tax; Hackett v. Salisbury, £8 17s ; O'Connor v. Johnson) £3 Is 6d; McLennan v. Clarke, £3810s. . ~..-.

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon. Another Want-of-Confidence

Motion.

I have it on good authority that there is. a movement on foot1 to bring down another no-confidence motion of a direct character, and it is possible Mr Ormond will move it with the softjjort, this time, of all the Nelson rnettftftrfe and others who previously voted for the Government, but who are opposed on the Representation Bill. It will be brought on at the earliest oppor tunity. If it came on'to-day, of course it would upset the Stonewall arrangements, of which I have advised you. REPRESENTATION BILL. , The Representation Bill Schedules will come on this afternoon, \?liaa a severe fight is expected, but few doubt its ultimate pas sage. Mr W. J. Hurst, witha view of com pelling the question of representation to be again reviewed, has given the Premier notice that he will move the insertion of a new clause to this effect: " This Act shall continue in opera tion until the Ist day of December, 1887, and no longer, unless the said Act shall be in the meantime repealed." After the apparently sincere pledges of the Premier and his friends that they would be willing to give other portions of the colony increased representation, as soon as increased popula tion entitled them to it, it is hoped that the Government will assent to the introduc tion of this valuable clause. NEW PLYMOUTH HARBOUR. The following, it is understood, will form the New Plymouth Harbour Workß Com mission :—Messrs Seymour and Thomson, M.H.R.'s, and Napier Bell,, engineer of t Lyttelton Harbour Board. Messrs Kicbard son and Macahdrew, whose names first were mentioned, both intimated a disinclination to aot. It is very improbable that the request of the Taranaki deputation that the works be proceeded with, pending the Commissioners' report, will be acceded to. In the House to-day, Mr 111 all replied to a question from Mr GISBORNE, that going on with th,e rlew Plymouth Harbour Com mission the bill mnst depend on the progress of the Representation Bill. SIR GEORGE GREY AND THE REP RESENTATION BILL. Sir George Grey, whom I have just seen, is very much of opinion that the Jrtepresen tation Bill will not Dass. The " Post" to-night again urges stone walling. THE STONEWALLING BEGUN. Mr Speight has just opened the stone walling operations, and is speaking on Pensions

MINING NEWS.

("From the Coromandel Mail.")

COSISTOCK. —Preparations are being made to carry in the low-level. Trusselling is being 'erected, and a tramway will be laid down, by means of which stuff will be car ried over the roadway to the top. One man is at work in the leading stope of the level above. He is taking out good crushing stuff, gold being visible in the stone. There is now a good quantity paddocked. About ISfts, of specimens have been lodged in the bank. The blacksmith's shop commenced a short time ago is now completed. In ad dition to the ordinary mining operations, a quantity of timber has been cut arid pre pared for various uses in connection with stoping, etc. Altogether there is evidence of good steady work beirig done on the mine.

Home Rule.—Yesterday afternoon a quantity of beautiful picked stone was got out of the leading stope from the low level.

The Maori Win have struck gold in the Tiki reef 60 feet inside the Maori Win boundary, and have taken out the same class of stone as was got in the Tiki ground, with coarse heavy gold showing freely in it. The find is regarded as- being of importance as show ing the good character of tbe lode; and as the Maori Win have an unlimited extent of it, it is impossible to estimate its value to the company, who will at any rato give it a fair trial. Gold has also been seen this week in the new leader driven upon in the low level, thus further enhancing the prospects of the mine. Shares were in brisk demand at three shillings, though in ■ the' morning there were sellers in the market at a lower rate, but about mid day, when the good news was received, telegrams were sent to town to stop their sales at the prices quoted, and at night they stood firm at 3s 3d. Pride of Tokatea. tributers (Kennedy and Macdonald). —Crushed six tons for a yield of 18 ounces. A new claim has been taken up adjoining the Queen of the North, with the latter reef running through the ground. The Blue Peter is bounded by the Hope, Comstock, and on the north by the Ness-side, all gold-producing mines. 'I he manager, Mr Clark, started to cut out a chamber inside No. 1 level for the purpose of sinking a winze to con nect with the lower level, and in doing so cut a new leader about six feet from the old' one, and obtained a few very rich stones from the same, together with very good crushing dirt. Captain .Lloyd is engaged making a mining survey. Tokatea. —The manager reports: "No change in the country in the No. 7 level. The contractors have driven 23 feet during the week, the ground continuing about the same as when last measured a week ago. The face of the level is unusually dry—half broken and intersected with small quartz veins. The repairs to the battery are dro w ing towards a finish. Boswell and party, tributers, are driving on their leader witll fair prospocts in hand. Fenton is stih prospecting.—Correspondent, Aug. 20.

ST. MATTHEW'S ENTER TAINMENTS.

The fifth of the series of entertainments in connection with St. Matthew's parish waa held last evening in St. James's Hall. There was a large attendance, the hall being well filled. The programme con sisted of a short concert, followed by Arthur Sullivan's comic opera, " Trial by Jury." No special praise can be devoted to the first1 part of the entertainment, which was not so good as might have been expected. The best song was "Let Me Dream Again," by. Mrs Eevitt, and next to it iv point of merit may be placed " London Bridge," by Miss Fisher. Misses Davis and De' Lacy were also fairly suc cessful, with the songs, " Cosey," and "The Blind Girl to Her Harp." The glee "Now by Day," was very unsteady, but the treb les were good. In the second glee, "Now Tramp o'er Moss and Fell," Miss Halstead's voice was particularly noticeable, and she sustained the upper notes very clearly. The performance of " Trial by Jnry " was comparatively'successful, and it would be unfair to criticise it from any very high stand-point Mr Coupland, as counsel for the plaintiff, undoubtedly took first honoffrs. His singing was good aud his enunciation clear. Mr Forth was very good as the defendant, and Mr Warner created con siderable amusement in the part of the usher, which he performed very satisfac torily. The plaintiff, by Mrs Kevitt, was rather exaggerated, while the judge, by Mr Taylor, was fair. His voice, is not,, however, quite equal to the part.: Mr A, Alderman represented the foreman of the jury. The most attractive feature of the representation was certainly the Bridesmaids chorus, which was capital, and merited an encore. All the brides maids were appropriately dressed. No credit is due to the iurv for the success of the performance. They sat stolid and I quiet, and beyond joining in the choruses, took no active part in the •' trial." Had they even dressed for their parts the result would have been more satisfactory, and they would at least have become objects of attention. The entertainment is to be re peated next week for the benefit of Mr ilhodes.who very ably performed the duties of conductor last night.

The cause celebre, Nicholls v. Nichol, over the Martha claim, was brought to a sudden ending by the decision of the R.M. upon a point raised by the defence. He ruled: I. That the contract sued upon is within the statute of frauds. 2. That, it beiug admitted that the money was not paid within the timo limited, an extension of the time must be shown to have been made in writing, signed by the defendants. 3. That evidence of the defendants' conduct showing a waiver of performance within the time limited, or of estoppel by defendants, is not admissable. Upon these grounds plaintiff's counsel ac cepted a nonsuit with coats, but also gave notice of their intention to appeal. The ruling of Warden Kenrick in the case of Nichols v. Nichols and Magurey yesterday is favourably commented on. The " Advertiser" devotes considerable space to reporting the mining cases. The cases re lative to Waihi are occupying the Court to day.

GERMAN WARSHIP MCEVE AND THE SAMOANS

A GOOD deal of interest has been created in Samoa by the Interference of the m6n be longing to the German warship, Moeve, in a native row which arose recently in the Central Territory. The Samoan "Times" published an article reflect ing upon the action of the officers of the Moeve, which ■ provoked answers from Malietoa, the "Saraoan King, Mr Graves, the British|Consul, Mr Hethering ton, Chief Magistrate, and others, all of whom defended the action of the Germans, and thanked Captain yon Kyckbnsch, for stopping a row which, in the opinion of the King and the British Consul, would have led to very serious consequences bnt for the prompt and judicious action of the men from the Moeve. We have been requested to publish the following account of the affair frorna reliable source :— (To the Editor of the " Samoan Times.") ■. Sir,—lf there is such a thing as public opinion in a community, I may be permitted the observation that a paper, called into existence and supported by such com munity, should pay some deference to the same. We generally find that in all small places politics occupy a great part of the time and thoughts of the public—far more so than in large and powerful nations. Apia forms no exception to the rule. In Apia the three nations—German, English, and American—have, recently established through their representatives a municipality which, I think, is generally admitted as having been productive of much good, by establishing law and order in a place in which these words have been hitherto but little known. I mention only the establish ment of the Municipal Court, in which both whites and natives can obtain full redress for any wrong suffered, as also the organis ation of an able and efficient police force in connection with this Court. As by their means only la.w and order are maintained amongst civilized nations, of how much greater value must they be in a country where to a certain clasß of whites, as also to the native inhabitants much license was allowed. As in other places, the authori ties are not popular with a certain class, and therefore it has been customary to station a man-of-war,belongingtoGermany, England, | or America in that group, especially as the establishment of the neutral territory often leads to complications with one of the contending king parties in Samoa. A strong proof of the municipality of having a powerful executive force at the back of the local authorities was given to us on Thurs day, the 14th ot July. Through the praise worthy efforts of Captain Gillis, Commander of th» U.S.S. Lackawanna, both contending native portions had- heen induced to make peace. The day after his departure, large numbers of natives came to Apia, in attend ance upon their chiefs, who were going to endeavour to form a Government. A trifling dispute amongst, a few partisans of the recently united parties Jed_ to a serious disturbance. The chiet of police, upon endeavouring to establish order, was saluted . with a shower of stones, followed up by a violent attack, which forced him to retreat, as his life_ was in danger. As fresh warriors poured in on both sides, to swell the ranks of their parties, the row became a moßt serious matter. Soon several hundred of natives were engaged in a bitter fight; knives, tomahawks, clubs, and other weapons ap peared as if by magic; volleys of stones flew through the air,, and the contending warriors in some instances endeavoured to uso the houses of Europeans as a basis for their operations. Then, just when this dis turbance seemed likely to take a most serious turn, the German man-of-war, Maide. sent three armed boats-crews on shore, to establish order. This action was taken by them at the request of the acting Ger man Consul, to whom the police had applied tor assistance, confessing their utter inability to deal with the matter. _At their approach the natives fled partly into their houses, partly to their war canoes. The ringleaders were immediately seized. It was a fortunate thing for all white resi dents that a inan-o'-war happened_ to be in harbour at the time. If not, it is impos sible to say what dissensions this row might have taken. At this time two hundred native soldiers, armed with breech, loading rifles, entered Mulinem about half a mile offjin attendance of the new vice-king Tamarese, hitherto of the party, opposed to King Malietoa. Like most savages, SamoauH are merely creatures of impulse, and with the still fresh recollection of their recent warfares, hearing of the affray in Apia. They might, in the passion of a moment, have rushed down to swell the ranks of their party and renew the fight. To put an end to their danger, the acting- German Consul, after, with his English colleague, resolved to proceed with him to Mulinem. On the way they were joined by the United States^ Consul, who, we hearj seemed to be wavering as to what courseto take. Then with very dubious support irom tile M.I. Consul, the English and German Consul informed the king and vice-king that they would hold them responsible for the maintenance of order. In support of their action, he called the attention of their Majesties to the paragraph of the Municipal Regulations, wherein any meeting of natives not belonging to this— the Tuamasaga—district, inside the munici pality, is strictly prohibited, and where in Samoan warriors are forbidden to enter the neutral territory with arms, the obser vance of these regulations being more neces sary than ever, after what had occurred in the forenoon. This induced their Majesties to order the warriors to disperse instantly to their homes. As, however, stilllarae num bers of natives remained, and as the com mander of the German man-of-war Moide, as a military man, on being consulted, was not satisfied that all danger of a disturbance

was ovsr, both the English and German Consuls, after having consulted with the magistrate and police, requested further protection. In the evening, two detach ments of armed .sailors were sent on shore, to prevent.a surprise. They were stationed at Mr Kuge's, at Matautu, and at the "Deusche Handelt, uudKautugen Geoellri hoft." Sentries were posted alongthebeach, and patrols were dispatched to maintain order, and protect the property of tne resi dents. All arms found upon natives were seized,' but returned next day. This is a correct and truthful statement of tacts as opposed to the distorted dessription of the local newspaper. By all well-meaning and educated residents, a feeling of deep gratitude was expressed in connection with the energetic action of the German Commander. In direct opposition to the public feeling the paper attacked the Com mander in a manner which nothiug could justify, and dissented even to wilful misstatements regarding the conduct of the man-of-warsmen on shore. Nobody was molested by the patrol. Iv «ne case only, as we learn, had the leader of the patrol to exert bis authority, and this in tonnection with the U.S. Cousul, Thomas M. Dawson, Esq. This gentleman evidently appeared ignorant of the manner of con ducting himself when meeting a patrol. Besides this, he protested against the land ing of man-of-warsmen, an action merely taken to protect the interests ot the whites, by preserving peace, order, and law in the place. For some considerable time it has transpired that he bras been on a very strange footing with his. fellow-Consuls in conse quence of taking similar, very dubious actions. There seems to be a clique here who, neither representing nor owning any thing, care little or nothing for the interests and property of others, opposed to anything like order. They endeavour to create hate amongst the different nationalities repre sented in Apia, and illfeeling towards the Municipality. Deficient in all higher feel ings, they only act in the dark and joyfully hall dissension and disorder, as it enables them to fish in muddy water.—Yours, &c, Dr. Bernhaed Funk, Physician in Apia.
