CaMBRIDOK, this day. At a meeting of tho Domain Board on Saturday, a petition was received from a number "of Domain land leaseholders pray ing for reduction of rent. Petitioners stated that they had been carried away by the excitement of competition at auction, and thus caused to give higher rentals than they would have done had the allotments been put up to tender. The Board considered the grounds of application very vague, but promised that if more reasonable grounds were embodied in an othor petition they would recommend the matter to tho favourable consideration of the Governor. The horse parade on Saturday was poorly attended, only seven horses having turned out.

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

[Before Ilia Honor Judge Smith.]

The bi-monthly sitting of the Court was held to-day, when the following business was disposed of: — Cases Adjourned. — John Dodd and Another v. Win. James Montgomery, £45 13s 9d; Auckland School Commissioners v. Michael Boland, tCJT 10s. Dejekded Cases. CaBLA. MOLLEB V. JOSKPH Ishlis.—Claim £07 11* damages for trespass.—Mr Lusk ap red for the plaintiff, and Mr S, Heskoth the defendant.—The case was heard last Court-day, and His Worship now gave judgment. He said that in tho case a question had been reserved for his decision after the jury had given a verdict for the plaintiff for i'2s. The items in respect of which the verdict was given were, in effect, the same as those of a former case, viz., Curl Holler v. James Inglis, wherein judgment was given. It was shown that the two defendants, James India and Joseph Inglis, were joint offenders anS the question was whether the decision then given was a bar against a judgment being obtained against the defendant in the present caso. No verdict was obtained in the previous case, as it was shown that the bull which committed the principal dnmago belonged to Joseph Inglis, the present de fendant, and it was on that account that the present action was brought. After con eidoring the whole question, and the facta Hi 3 Honor camo to the conclusion that tho previous action did not debar the plaintiff from his present claim. Therefore he up held tho verdict of the jury for £2!) damages, and gave judgment also for £10 10s costs. \V. H. Consell v. Te Hemeba Tawhia. Claim, £32 on a promissory note,—Mr Edward Cooper appeared for the plaintiff, And Mr Dufaur for the defendant.—The P.N, was obtained from a Mr Oliver, a store keeper resident in tho Waikato, and tho con sideration given was £2(1. The defence was {1) that tho defendant did not make tho note, and (2) that if he did make it, ho was intoxicated at the time.—Mr Dufaur alleged that the signature was obtained by deliberate fraud, and that that vitiated the whole transaction. Dofondant had simply bor rowed 24b from Oliver, for which he signed ji blank paper.—When the defendant was called, the plaintiffs solicitor took objec tion to tho employment of MrC. doTlnerry as interpreter, seeing that ho was a witness in tho case.—An adjournment was therefore gnado until 2 o'clock in order that another interpreter might be obtained. \y, J, McG. Armstrong v. Andrew lleavey; Claim, £35, commission. —Mr Theo. Cooper. for the plaintiff, and Mr Cotter for tho defendant. It was explained when tho case was called on that the liti gants, without consulting their solicitors, lad referred tho matter to the arbitrament of Messrs Lambert and Chappell, who had delivered their award to the Clerk of tho Court.—His Honor said that the case, under those circumstances, did not come within his jurisdiction. In order that judgment might be obtained, it was sug gested that tho matter should be referred to Messrs Chappell and Lambert and the .case adjourned. It transpired, however, that the award had been communicated to the litigants, and that there was still a dis agreement between them, as the defendant o&jected to paying his arbitrator's fees. Eventually the caso was adjourned to the 24th i»»t., in order that an amicable arrangement might be effected. The Mechanics' Bay Monkey—Action for Damages. . Jas. Leonard Turner v. John* Adams : Claim, £108 damages.—Mr Thoo. Cooper (•instructed by Mr Laishley) for the plaintiff, und Mr Cotter for tho defendant. — This was an action brought on behalf of a year-old baby by his father for damages sustained from a monkoy belong ing to John Adams, licensee of tho Swan Inn, Mechanics' Bay, the summons stating that lie kept a monkey called " Jack, which was of "a fierce and mis chievous nature, .and accustomed to at tack mankind," and that on the 23rd July last this animal attacked and severely las eer&ted the plaintiff, whereby ho had suf fered, and was still suffering, great pain and injury.—Mr Coopov, in opening the case, said that Mr Adams kept two or three monkeys, but tho one in question was easily recognised, as it had a short tail, a pecu liarity with this kind of monkoys, which made extensive uso of their tails in their perambulations.' It would be shown that the defendant was fully aware of the mischievous propensities and evil nature of . this animal. On the day in question the assailant monkey mado its way from the yard of tho hotel and entered the shop of an old lady named Scott, whom it assaulted and frightened so soriously that she died in tho following week. Leaving the shop, it travelled round to j a stable wherein the children of a man named Philip Turner wore playing and jumping the tower half of tho door, ontered the perambulator of tho plaintiff (a ten months-old child), and began a furious attack upon him. The mother was absent from home but Mrs Scott rushed to the rescue and Mr Adams came and took away the monkey. So severely was the child a face and head torn and lacerated that its life was despaired of, and it lay .between life and death for snore than a week afterwards., and now, although it had recovered, it was permanently disfigured, for the sears on its .head would never be obliterated. There could bo no excuse for the defendant keeping a monkey of the nature described, for he was fully aware of its vicious character, as Mrs Adams bad told plaintiff's mother that it had not only bitten her but also some of the children, and yet that tho defendant had refused to send it away. It had also bitten otherchildren. Ifpeopjekeptsuchdangerous pets.they would have to bear the risk. This monkey had caused tho loss of ono life and nearly another.—Philip Turner (a carter employed by Mr Anderson), father of the plaintiff, was the first witness. His evi dence was of a general character.—Mrs Turner gave evidenco as to the condition I of the child when she eatne home, and Alice Head, a girl who is stopping with hor, described th« monkey's assaults upon Mrs Scott and the plaintiff. Duung her ex amination the defendant brought in a short-; tailod monkoy to see if she would identify it, but she declared that it was not tho one which committed the assaults. The injured child also was produced, and shewed abo ut the temples and head abundant signs of the rough usage it had received.— Mrs Isabella Stoekin deposed as to*An as eault committed upon the child by the monkey "Jack" while she was wheeling it along in a perambulator, and Drs. Wright and Knight explained the nature of the in juries inflicted upon the plaintiff. The former gentleman also stated that Mrs Culpan informed him that the same mon key had bitten ono of her children. — This was the plaintiff's case.—ln opening the defence, Mr Cotter stated that the defendant was extremely sorry that his monkey had caused such injuries, and he had made every endeavour to bring about an amicable settlement |of the case but without success. Tho lead defence, there for*, that he very unwilljhgly sot up, Mr as

that he did not know the character of the monkey in question—in fact, he denied any srientn. He had had three menkeys, but the one referred to as the short-tailed Jack, which had assaulted a child previously in Karangahape Road, was nut in his possession at the time the plaintiff received his injuries. It would be shown that the monkey which assaulted him was ! a playful animal, quite free from vice, and a great favourite with the children.— The defendant was then examined, and gave the assailant Jack an excellent character. He said that ho was always about the house and bar, and that he used to take an occasional offer of a "pewter" from customers at the bar, and that he made himself very useful in drawing "sweeps." On the day in question, witness, hearing a commotion in the street, ran out to the stable, saw Jack come out and make off, and noticed the child lying on the floor (trying, with blood on its face. He left the child to take care of itself, and, pursuing Jack, caught him and chained him up, He positively swore that he saw neither Mrs I Scott nor iMifiß Head about the stable. I Since the occurrence he had disposed of his | monkeys.—ln the course of the lengthy cross-examination, the witness said that the monkey ho had brought into Court was not his, but had been borrowed for tha occasion, but he denied that he had brought it with the object of entrapping Miss Head. On being pressed for his object he jauntily replied that lie brought it to amuse the •Court, whereupon Mr Cooper retorted that he might find himself dismissed. (Left Sitting.)

The patient having been placed under tho in tluence of chloroform, the courso of the marble bullet was traced, and an incision having boon made, about ono half of the i marble, which was of white porcelain, aud had been shattered to fragments by the explosion, was extracted.

The last boat will leave Auckland for North Shore at 11,45 p.m. instead of 11.30 p.m. to-night, in order to allow North , Shore residents to return by same boat after witnessing the chess tournament. A young man handed a spring poom to an editor the other day while ho was very busy, and requested him to read it. The editor politely louked it over, told tho foreman to put it on the editorial page and double lead it, gave the young man an order on the counting room for t'lo, and tlion invited him out to dinner. Modesty forbids our mentioning any names. The Gisborna people aro rosolved to ob tain for that town tho luxury of gas, and a company with an influential pro ; visional directory havo taken the matter in hand. Mr P. L. Prime has been appointed broker for Auckland, and notifies in another column that applica tions for shares closo horo on Saturday next.

A mysterious discovery was recontly made in tho scrub near Druitt Town, Now South Wales. According to tho jwlico report, a man named James Smith was walk ing through the scrub in company with his wite when they came across tho dead body of a female. They immediately reported the matter at tho Concord police station, and a sergeant was despatched in company with Smith to where tho body, which was almost a skoleton, was lying. Alongside tho body was found a bottlo which had ap parently contained beer, and also a lady's wickorwork basket, containing a number of articles of wearing apparel. In the basket was also found a marriage certificate, wherein it was stated that Wil liam Estret Brown, mariner and widower, was married to Lydia Morena Ward, by the Rev. John Dunmore Lang, in Septombor, 1872, in the presenco of Richard Saley and Ellen Saley. A number of letters and pawn tickets, in the namo of Lydia Brown, were also found in the basket, together with several nowspapers. The remains were much decayed, and it is thought roust have been lying whore they were found for several months. Tho de ceased was dressed in a grey lustre dress, and had on a black straw hat with feather and buckle ; she also had a largo leathern belt around tho waist. After tho place had been fully examined, tho body was removed to tho South Sydney morgue. Up to tho present time tho whole affair seems to be shrouded in mystery, and boyond the mar riage certificate there aro no traces of identi fication. Russian society has taken to whist as tho only safe means to avoid discussion of politics and otlwr dangerous subjects. Russians aro vcrv sooiable, and prior to nihilistic plots and" disturbances, the family circle, with many friends and acquaint ancs, would gather round the tea-table in the evening, drinking innumerable glasses of tea, smoking cigarette?,and discussing all sorts of topics. This pleasant state of affairs has now changed entirely. Whist reigns supreme. Old men and women, officers having donned their first uni forms, studente fresh from the univer sity, and business men, aro all spending thoir evenings, day in and day out, at the green table, smoking and drink ing. The reason for this is that many persons havo suddenly disappeared, leaving word behind that the reasons for their re moval could not be explained. Everybody suspects his nearest neighbour and friend of being ready to inform upon him should he Huring tho courso of conversation mako an incautious remark or utter a word which might havo a double meaning. Tho authori ties always transport these people to places where there are no railroads or telegraphs and no means to send a letter to their friends telling them of their fate. Rather than take the chances of being compelled to live for a few years guch out-of-the-way places, where there is no congenial society, no books and no means to got up a business of any kind, society has agreed upon the safer course of keeping its mouth closed and occupying the mind by playing whist.
