i TIIE LAW OF CONTRACT.

, -♦ At the District Court yesterday, his Wor ship Judgo Smith delivered judgment in the case of Thos. Wyllie v. Geo. Fraser claim f 100 for breach of agreement; Mr Theo. Cooper for plaintiff, Mr E. Hesketh for defendant. His Worship said that in this case the claim was one of damages for breach of contract to carry out an agree ment to let a farm for a period at the rate of £52 per annum, tlio tenancy to bo sub ject to six weeks' notico of termina tion. Upon tlio face of it there was v complclo agreement, written, signed by both parties, and,(after live hud been made up) sufficiently stamped. The agreement was to let the farm with the ex ception of the house, outbuilding.?, garden, orchard, and a fouracie paddock, and the only point of material contest between the parties was as to the meaning of the words "four-acre paddock." The property con tained two paddocks, but neither of them was exactly four acres in area. One was over five acres in extent, and the other less than four acres, viz., three and three quarters. The plaintiff claimed that he had the larger paddeck in mind all along, while the defendant held that the smaller one was that which he had in mind. Under tho circumstance:s, one had to look at what was probable. Plaintiff wanted the land for grazing purpose,o, and fho larger pad dock would have suited his purpose, whilo the smaller one was for tho most part scoria land with some scrub upon it, and war. only fit for'the support of pigs. It Fcomeli to him that there had been suoli a matorial misapprehension between tho parties as justified him in saying that thore had been no real agreement between them. In form there Mas an agreement, butinsubslanco there was anmnbiguityupon Uio faco of it which was only explained by the parolo ovidenco, showing that there had boon such a real mistake botweon the parties that they had never assented to tho terms. Thercforo thcro had been no con tract between the parties, and being no contract there eculd have been no breach.— Mr Cooper accepted a nonsuit, Judgment against plaintiff for costs, £0 0?.

CORRESPONDENCE.

.Denominational.

(To tho. Editor.) Sir,—Allow me to reply to a communica tion signed " A " appearing in your issue of Saturday. No really deserving cape of des titution is allowed to pass unhelped in our email community ; indeed, taking into con sideration our numbers, a very great deal is done in the direction of giving help, tem porary assistance, and paying tlio pass ages away of those desirous of leaving in the hope of finding employment else whore. Of course, there are" some who on a point of principle give little or nothing to anybody, while there are plenty of lazy loafers who consider they have only to ask when they want, to bo granted. Until lately there was no soparate organisa tion apart from our Synagogue Fund often drawn upon, but lately our Hebrew Benevo lent Society has been started, notwith-' standing that the bulk of the subscribers are equally subscribers to the Auckland Society. The particular object of the former is, however, to give help and as sistance to tho sick and alllicted and to those who may bo able to return it again, and thus enable others in their turn to be helped, not to find funds for the hale man who is too lazy to find it for himself; and as regards tho insinuation that they cannot obtain employment amongst their own faith, this statement is best disproved by the fact that, with a few exceptions, the Hebrew firms employ nearly all Hebrew employi's.—l am, &c, A Jew. To the Editor; Sir,—Will you kindly givo me space in your columns to enable me to answer the letter a correspondent sent you signing himself "A," complaining of the treatment and uncharitablenoss he has received from the Jewish community of Auckland as compared with other places. Unfortunately we are plagued, as, Isuppose, other communities are, by a class of persons who think that all it is necessary for them to do is to say that they belong to a par ticular class or crced,ind they are bound to receive all they ask for. It is evident by your remarks that you do not think his a case of very great hardship. My impression of " A " is that he is one of those that make a business of Booking assistance by any means in preference to work ; but if he is really in need, all he has to do is to apply in a proper manner, and I am cci taiu that thcro nro those amongst us that will not allow him to want; but if ho thinks that by writing to tho press he will cnorco.ue ho |is mistaken. —I am, &c, A Jewish Resident.

_♦ Mr Milner Stephen.

(To the Editor.) Sin,—Will you kindly allow mc a space in your paper, wishing to. thank Mr Milner Stephen for the benefit my wife and I have received by his treatment. I was suffering at the time with injury to the spine, brought on by a fall off a scaffold, while at work on the 2nd day of October, and was taken to the Hospital on tho morning of the 3rd. Dr. Bond admitted mo, and I was treated for injury to the back. I was dis charged from tho Hospital on the morning of the 13th. I was not much better, but with the help of a walking stick managed to get homo. I was not able to walk upright when I got on my feet, which I was not able to do very often, owing to the great pain in my spine and head. My brain was so affected I could not bear the light of the lamp or the glare of the sun; in fact, I thought I should have gone out of my mind. AVith walking very slowly I managed to get to St. James's" Hall on the Friday night (Mr Milner Stephen's second meeting for public healing), when ho invited those that were in pain to come on the plat form. I went up, Mr Milner Stephen put his hand on my back quietly, and straightened me up, and told me to got up off the chair I was sitting on, and walk on the platform. I was able to do so for the first time since I was hurt, and with the laying on of his hands on my head all the pain lolt. I had a box of salve given me, and some magnetised water, I have attended Mr Milner Stephen's meeting weekly. I now consider myself cured. My wife, who was suffering from asthma and bronchitis, was also treated by Mr Milner Stephen, and she is now quite well and de lighted at the simple treatment—no punish ment, and no horrid medicine to take. My neighbours notice the great change in us both since we have been under Mr Milner Stephen's treatment. There ia no imagina tion at all, as 1 have been told by different people: everybody knows their own feol ings best. My wife and I solemnly testify to the truth of this letter, and return our heartfelt thanks to Mr Milner Stephen, considering it a blessing that God, in great mercy to tho poor and afflicted, directed his calling to Auckland; and may God ever bless him and his, and sparo him for many more years to come, and make him an in strument in His hands, and give him more power from on high in curing the afflicted, is the earnest prayer of my wife and self.— Alfbed Joiix Taylor.

To tlio Editor : Sir, —In your issue cf Saturday an account is given of Mr Milner Stephen's public healing on Friday last, in which I am reported to have said Drs. Haines and Philson had treated my child for disease of hip joint. This is not correct; Dr. Haines has never seen hpr. What I said was that Dr. Day called it hip-joint disease, and sent me to Dr. Philson, who, after ex amining her, said it was not, and I believe he was correct. As far as Mr Milnor Stephen's statement goes, tf IJiad pleased myself I should never have gone, but went to satisfy others. Of course, the child's leg is the same now as before. Mr Stephens will say he only wont by my statements that the child's log was lengthened one inch and a-half; but what lio did, I or any other might do and pro duce the same rosult: I should be very sorry to say I think Mr S. a fraud. I beliove him to be a gentleman in every sense of the word. He believes ho has miraculous powers of healing, and some fancy they are healed by the imposition of his hands ; but it will take something more than fancy to lengthen « person's log one inch and a-half by just touching it.—Yours, &c, J. H. Corxish.
