He, therefore, asked judgment for these cost.—His Worship thought the costs should be allowed, and therefore gave judgment for 10s 6d. C. J. Eller v. J.

F, Harness v. R. Pickmere and D. Dun ntogbam.-Claim, £50.—Mr Speed for . plaint-, and Mr S. Hesketh for defen dants.—The case was heard last Court day, and His Worship now gave judgment, sf nonsniting the plaintiff with costs, £4 Bs.— The judgment was as follows .-—The plain tiffin this case seems to have placed him telf upon the horns of a dilemna. Either the defendants, whom he now seeks to render liable for his wages, were partners with the elder Harness or they were not. If they were not, it is clear they canuot, on any principle of law, be held responsible. If they were, then they were joint debtors In law, and the judgment already obtained against tbe elder Harness is, upon the prin ciple laid down in King v, Hoare, a bar to any further action, although such judgment remains still unsatisfied, That being the plaintiffs position in law, a position which lenders it nn necessary for me lo decide I what the effect of the deed of 22nd March, 1832, really is, the question arises whether there is any conflicting principle o£ equity wMch ought to prevail over the rules of comKonlaw? See Law Amendment Act, 1882,8,11, Although partners, assuming for the purpose of argument that the de fendants are partners, are in some cases treated as separate debtors in equity where their liability would be joint at law, so f v I know this equitable principle has never been applied to cases of simple debt ™ the present. (See Lindly on Partner fMji-inlC-.. The only other doctrine of equity by which the defendants might have i been held liable is this : Supposing the de fendant?,: being under no original liability {a the plaintiff, had stood by and allowed aim to continue his work, knowing that i we plaintiff believed himself to ba in their , employ, and was looking to them for pay •nent. and the defendants had afterwards i ■saped the benefit of his labour; in such I, ■«» I ■ think it is highly probable that •• equity would demand that the defendants 'fonld compensate tho plaintiff for *»> he had done. But of this, there is to evidence in this case, The fact that ■ ; AM plaintiff has already sued his father mm that it was to him he was looking [^payment and it is only after his father Im. absconded, leaving tbo judgment ob tained against him unsatisfied, that this "_l»io is made in the present defendants. ™M these grounds I think the plaintiff ■«be nonsuited.

WELLINGTON, this day. The ketch Emerald, Captain Backstoom, went ashore in Palliser Bay on Monday evening, and is likely to become a total wreck. She left Oamaru on Friday, and was off Cape Campbell at 11 p.m. on Sun day, when there was clear weather, with a strong southerly breeze. During the night it came up very thick, and blew hard. At 2 a.m., not being able to make out Pen carrow light, she was hove to, and at 6 a.m. the crew found themselves in Palliser Bay. They tried all day to heat the vessel out, but could not manage, owing to the heavy sea running. At about six in the evening, she went ashore on houlder Bejch. Tho crew experienced great difficulty in getting ashore, but nlt'mately they drifted a large log ashore with a rope attached, which was made fast by tho settlers on tho beach, The boat was then pulled ashore by mean's of it. The cargo consisted of colonial produce con signed to Mr Hassell, which wss insured, but tbe amount is not known. Tho vessel is insured in the New Zealand office for £550,

MADAME SIMONSEN'S BENEFIT.

To-JIORKOW night should witness nn over- I -lowing houso at the Theatre Hoyal, if the i lovers of opera in Auckland show a Jit 1 appreciation oi (heir obligation to an artiste who has a long standing claim on popular i favour, Madame Fanny Simonsen takes her benefit to-morrow (Friday) evening, just prior to tho clo.ing of nn opera season in this city, which has been eminently | successful iv so far as tho efforts of tho pcrtormers aro concerned, though illness . and other accidental circumstances have rather interfered with it. course. The Simonsen troupe have during this season, placed beforo the public an uncommonly large nnd varied selection of operntic pieces, nnd it speaks highly for their high abilities that those.were all presented most creditably nnd successfully. In nearly every piece presented, tho moving and animating spirit has teen the beneficairc of to-morrow night; and especially in " Boccaccio " her acting and singing in tho little role contri buted in a high degree to the success achioved. Thisboing so, the crowds who have been delighted "by hor efforts, pot only as a performer, but also in organising and con trolling tho representations, should not bo stinted in showing tangibly their apprecia tion. Tho bill for to-morrow night Is in itself sullicicut to attract a large audience, comprising, as it doe., the third act of " Norma," tho lastactof "Boccaccio," witha miscellaneous concert introduced between the performances ; while, for conclusion, the screaming farco of "Turn Him Out will bo represented by tho Opera Company, generously assisted by tho veteran Maccabe, Mrs Maccabe, and several Auckland actors. Violin solos by Mr Martin Simonsen will form an attraction for the lovers of in.trumontal music, and tho tact that it i* a grand fashionable performance, under the patronago of His Worship the Mayor and City Councillors, should en sure a largo turn out of the beauty aud fashion of our beautiful and and fashionable city. Wo havo no doubt, however, that the various attractions wo have enumerated, though many and potent, will be looked on as Biib.idary by tho patrons of music and the drums, who will "assist" at tho performance of to-morrow night with the chief object of testifying thoir appreciation of Madame Simonson's untiring efforts to eater for thoir enjoyment. There beiitg ovory prospect of auspicious weather, it would seem as if everything wero conspiring to make tho boneilt of to-morrow nignt a com plete success, and pleasurablo alike to the public and too performers.
