MR FORSTER'S DENUNCIATION OF THE LAND LEAGUE.

His Attack on Mr Parnell.

(SPECIAL TO PXSESS ASSOCIATION.)

LONDON, February 23. gPBAKIXG in tho House of Commons, Mr Fotster brought a most crushing indictment against tho Irish Land League. He dis tinctly acensed Mr Parncll of cither con niving at the outrages and mur dors which had been committed, or of calmly ignoring facts and willingly profiting by the acts of labour terrorist*. He also charged the League with accepting money from the American declared enemies of England. He had, however, bow some hopes for the future of Ireland, since the wickedness and cruelty of Mr Pamcll's agitation had been un veiled. Mr Forster denied that the Cabinet had agreed to the Crime Bill before he re tired from it. • The House was deeply moved by Air Foster's speech. There were loud cries for Mr Parnoll, but he took no notice of them, and remained silent. Hia followers, however, accused Mr Forster of lying, and Mr James O'Kclly, Member for County Roscommou, becaraa so vio'ent that the Speaker suspended him for a week, Lord Hartington, in a temperate speech, said that the Irish I-and League were iionnd to reply to the accusations which had been made, and to afford tho country the necessary materials for judging of their innocence. It is understood that in response to Lord Harlingfou's challenge, Mr JParnell will to-day address the House, Sir Stafford * orthcote has given notice of motion condemning the Kilmainham Treaty. ________

DISTRICT COURT. - This day.

[Before His Honor Judge Smith.] MOLLBR V, JNGIIS.—JUDGMENT.

This action, which was hold several days ago, was brought to recover £92, damages alleged to have been sustained by trespass. Mr Tole for plaintiff. a,nd Mr S. Hesketh for defendant. His Honor gave judgment as follows :—

1. Claim for damage to garden and fencing: This is reduced to a question as to the identity of the red bull with a white face that did the damage. If the plaintift's c:iso had stood alono I might have been in clined to say theie was some evidence of the defendant's ownership, but each eviddnce is, I think, completely rebutted by Joseph Inglis, who claims the bull answer ing the description giveo, as his; and his evidence is entitled to the greater weight, us it is really given against iuterest, for •what ho has sworn to would undoubtedly go a long way towards proving his liability if the action had been brought against him.

2. .-As to horse 3, sheep, ar.d cattle tres passing elsewhere than in garden : I think the defendant lias failed to answer the prinut fade case made out by the plaintiff, and tbe only question to be con sidered is the aniouut of damages. The fact that no complaint was made until nearly two years had elapsed, although not amounting to a consent on the plain tiff's part so as to deprive him of a right to recover, satisfies me that the damage h not so serious as he has endeavoured to make out.

The claim resolves itself into two items—

1. A general claim for £50, ths esti mated value of tsc grass eatea aDd other ii.juiies done by the trespassing cattle and 2, a claim for £7 105, in respect of one pjition of the plaintiff's land, which is alleged to have been eatea completely bare of gias?. Now the plaintiffs claim for injury done by trespass and to the creek boundary was in the H,M, Court £34185, or nearly £35. The injury to the creek boun daiy he estimates in this Court at £7 10s ; and, assuming in his favour that this item La 9 grown iv the interval between the issuing of the two summonses, as the other items bave, a balance of something like £30 remains after deducting the claim in respect of the creek which haa been with drawn. This amount, £30, seems to me to fairly represent the approximate value of the damage he has sustained, and for that amount judgment will be given,—Cojte, £14 6s. . •

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

This Day.

THE Assembly mot again at 10 o'clock this morning ia St. Andrew's Church, there being present:—Revs. R, Sommcrvillo (Moderator); Ministers— Kcvs W. Gillies D. Sidoy, J, Patcraon, K. F. Macnicol, J. Macky, S. J, Neill, T, Norrie, W. Sbirriffs, J. Hill, A. Thompson, J. McKee, J. Doual, B. McGregor, T. Toray, A. M. Wright, R. J. Allswovth, A. Carrick, T. M, Fraser, C. 8, Opg, W. Douglas, G, B. Munro, T. W. Dunn, W. McKae. Elders— j Messrs Thomson, Bell, and Bucbauan. j

Church Property.— A petition was re. ceivod from v number of ministers, ciders, and trustees at Christchureh, relative to Church Property in that city.—The Key. VV. Gillies stated that at a provision meeting the prsyer of the petition was contained ia both ot the Bills that had bean laid on the table. —'I lie ptition -»aa referred to the Church Propn-iy Comnuttoa.

Lekston S!ftNM;,-A reference from the Ckristchurch P;es!)\tory concerning a dis appointment l.c'.wcon \hc Ices'.on South bridge ami Biooksiiia congregations ancnt the Lco-tou- Mansfl was thou brought up fur consideration, tho subject beiug introduced by a. detailed ex planation from the Itev K. McGregor. 'J ho circumstances Were shortly as follows :—ln august, 1872, the committees of the above incutioned congregations agreed to erect a manse at Leeston on ground pur chased for that purpose. At n meeting of general committee held in Octo ber, 1872, a draft agreement was sub mitted binding the Lee9ton peopln to pay back to the Southbridge nnd 15rook*iclo congregations any sum they might pay towards the building of the Manse at any time they saw fit to separate from Lceeton. The snb>equent proceedings wore involved in doubt owing to the irregular method of recording tho minutes of meetings. Tho present arises out of the con tention by the Loeston that in tho agreement to which their signatures we.ie appended there was a provision stipulating that the desired allowance should only be made in case the separation took place after a term of 10 years, which provision the Southbfidge positively repudiated. The Christchureh Presbytery had sup ported tho claim of the SouthbridßC people. — After some disenssion, in which the tfov. J. Hill took a leading part, it was agreed, upon tee motion of the Rev. W. Gillits, seconded by the Rev. T. Norrie, " That the Assembly regret the difficulty that has arisen between Leeston nnd Houthbridge, and recommend both parties to come to an amicable arrangement under tho direction of the Presbytery of the bounds." jnew Plymouth.—The Key. K. F. Mncnicol submitted the following report from the Committee in re tho ijew Plymouth :■—" Your Committee haviug met and carefully considered tho cuse of the New Plymouth Church, resolved to recommend to tho Assembly : (1) That the charge of New Plymouth be transferred to the care of tho Presbytery of Wellington. (2) That, in consideration of tho peculiar circumstances of tho case, a tpecial guaran tee of £150 be given to the student located there. (3) That the Moderator bo requested to communicate with the Victoriau Insur ance ollice to obtain, if possible, the pay ment of the amount for which tho Nov Plymouth Church was insured. (4) That tho rebuilding of the New Plymouth church bu commended to the .sympathy and liheral assistance of all congregations belonging to the Assembly."—Mr Macnicl pointed out that the present time was tho c.itical point in the history of Prcsby teri.inism in Taranaki. If the Church nig lectcd to pnt its foot down there now, it would not have another opportunity for many years to come, but if liberal and exceptional help were afforded now for the resuscitation of the cause in Now lJh mouth, it would prove a splendid sphcro for a man of energy and suitable gift-;. Under his fostering care the congregation now di.°p?rsed would arise like the fabled Phoenix, in _ renewed vigour from the ashes of past failure.—The Rev, J, Paterson heartily endorsed these remarks; and moved the adoption of the repott. In doing so he mentioned that in order to maintain a foothold in New Ply mouth the Churcu Exteusion Committee were prepared to guarantee a stipend to the extent of £150 for the first year, and to plnc-3 tliere tne most promising ptiulentn they have.—The Key. J. Sidey seconded the motion.-After some remarks from the Tlcv. J. Toiry, Mr J. Buchanan, tho Eovs. J. Mnelcay, A M. Wright, M.A., W. Douglas, V. Norrie, J. Doull, nud W. Uillies. the report was adopted. Tho following proposition was aho moved by the R--.V. W. Gillies, seconded by the Key. J. Patcrson. and agreed to, '" That, inasmuch as New Plymouth is more accessible to mombers of the Presbytery of Wellington, than than of tbe Piesbytery of Auckland, this congregation of New Plymouth be disjoined from the Presbytery of Auckland, and placed within the bounds, and under the Presbvterial care of the Presbytery of Wellington, which is hereby done, and direct notice to be given accordingly to the respective Presbyteries." Tiie Clerkship,—The Rev. Mr Sbirriffi having declined the appointment of secretary from circumstances which he said he could not disclose, it was sgreed " lhat a committee, consist ing of the Moderator, and tho Revs, J. Hill, W. Gillies, and D Sidey, he nppointed to confer with the Rev. Mr Shiiritl's." A long di'cinsion ensued on the report upon the union with the Church of Ot:igo. but our rcpott is crowded out till Monday.
