IMPORTANT TO STOCK OWNERS.

A Sheep-branding Dispute

[l!Y TKLKGRAPH. — PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wanganui, this day. An interesting case to sheep-farmers and stock-owners was heard before tho R. M. on Saturday morning. J. R. Sommervillo was charged with neglecting to register his brand, under the Brands and Branding Act, 1880, the case being brought purely as n test case by the Sheep Inspector. Defen dant, it appears from evidence, has had the brand "CS" in his family for the last 30 years, and as it was known as his wish to koop it, consequently applied to have it registered last year as formerly. The Government, however, have issued instructions that tho letter "S" was to be the Government brand for sheep, and the Inspector, on the ground that it was likely to cause confusion by having the same letter in the brand, refused to register it. Tho defendant contended that tho enforcement of the rule would act inju riously to farmers whoso name begins withC. as their brand becomes known, and brands also known in home markets of wool, &c, which, if altered, would mean great loss, and handicapped one section of tho community who wove so unfortunate as to have a name beginning with "S." The point in disputo was whether the defendant could register the brand " C.5.," and whether the Govern ment had power to make a person take another brand. Defendant said lie took action on behalf of himself and a number of other persons, who would bo seriously affected if the contention of tho Sheep Inspector was upheld. The R.M. deferred his decision until this morning, when he pronounced judgment for tho plaintiff, inflicting a penalty of one shilling. Xo order for costs was made.

AUCKLAND REGATTA CLUB.

Annual Meeting,

Tick unnual meeting of tho Auckland Regatta Club was held last evening at the Waitemata Hotel. There was a small attendance. Mr C. B. Stone occupied the chair. The minutes of the previous meet ing wore read and confirmed.

Balance - Sheet. — Tho balance-sheet was read by Mr H. Henderson as follows: — Receipts : Advertising, £29 14s 6d; boat hire, £23 7s Od; prizes, £495 11s Od; band, £12; sundries, £62 11s Od; balance, £11 18s ; total, £023 4s. Expendi ture : Subscriptions, £350 18s lOd ; entries, ClO7 ISs; programmes, £14; flagship tickets, £12 11s 3d ; protest fees forfeitecf, £4 ; total, £11 18s. Mr Henderson explained that there were subscriptions amounting to about 22 guineas to come in and liabili ties existed to about the same amount. The Chairman remarked that the balance sheet was very satisfactory, there being a credit balanceof over £11. He also referred to the eulogies passed by the Southern and Australian papers on the Auckland Regatta. The balance-sheet was adopted.

Election of Officers. — The following officers were elected :—Patron, His Worship the Mayor ; Vice-Patrons, Chairman of the Auckland Harbour Board and the Hon. Mr Mitchelson ; President, Hon. T. Henderson; Vice-President, Mr J. M. Clark ; Commit teo, Mr John Marshall, T. Henderson, jun., C. C. Dacre, M. Niccol, Captain John McKenzio, Captain D. H. McKenzie, D. Oxley, H. Henderson, C. Rowc, H. Parker, Hutchison, Captain Nearing, D. Gouk, Butler, C. B. Stone ; Treasurer, Mr T, Henderson, jun.; Secretary, Mr John Mar shall ; Auditors) Messrs R. E. Isaacs and F. Kissling. Rulks.—Mr R. E. Isaacs suggested that if a race for merchants' sailing vessels gigs wero placed on the programme for 1885 it should bo stipulated that all boats should be bona fide, arid rowed by the vessel's own crew.

Donations. —The Chairman read a letter from Mr J. Marshall, expressing his inten tion to give £25 towards augmenting the prize in trie trading cutter race for vessels ■25 tons,and upwards. This class of vessels, ho considered, had afforded tho greatest competition at the yearly regattas. It was almost impossible, lie faid, to have enough Rchooners in port to make a good champion trading vessels' race. He further asked the Committee to arrange the prizes in the cutter race as if he had made no promise. The Chairman also read a letter from the Union Steamship Company, stating that a large silver cup, which was presented by the Company to the Committee, was to be competed for in rowing races, and when won twice by one competitor it was his property. A vote of thanks to the presiding chair man concluded the proceedings.

After the general meeting, the newly ap pointed committee met and elected Mr M. Xiccol chairman, and Messrs T. Henderson, D. Oxloy, and C. B. Stone a sub-committee to revise the rules,

DISTRICT COURT.-Monday.

(Before His Honor Judge Smith.)

UNDEFENDED,

Michael Fury v. Montgomery Davis ; Claim L2s,—The defendant did not appear, and judgment was therefore given for the plaintiff, with L 6 11s costs. ADJOURNED. Thomas Wood v. John Snodgrass, L3O 3s 2d; David Johnstone v. John Lundon, LGO 9s; defended cases. Thomas Harris v. Thomas Glover.— Claim, £31, on a judgment summons;—Mr Brassey, for plaintifl, applied for an order for immediate payment; Mr Hugh Camp bell opposed the application.—The plaintiff adduced evidence for the purpose of show ing that the debtor had had means of satisfy ing the claim since judgment,—Thomas Glover, the judgment debtor, deposed that j he was the husband of Mrs Alice Glover, and lived with her in Symonds-street.—Th» judgment obtained against him was upon a promissory note for £25, but all he got out of it was £13, the balance having boon-paid for discounting it. He wanted the money for racing purposes, betting, sweeps, etc ; his wite supported him, He squandered and gambled away the money. His wife was paying the cost of the present defence. The buggy and chestnut horse in which he drove about belonged to his wife also. When he borrowed this money he knew that he had no means. The gun with which he had been shooting lately Belonged to his son, and the land in the Waikato to his wife.—A witness named William Monaghan swore that on occasion Glover asked him for a loan of £5, and on his declining, invited him into the Nevada, and showing him a roll of notes, told him ho did not require a loan after all. The defendant was very jolly at tho time, and was pulling about the girls in tho hotel with the object of kissing them. He could not say whether a desiro for kissing was a particular symptom of heart disease, but had his doubts about it.—The plaintiff and defendant also gave evidence. In addressing tho Bench, Mr Campbell said that ho had nothing to say in favour of the defendant, whose conduct Mrs Glover had borne for a great number of yeara' with the result that her means had b»on considerably reduced, The defendant, however, had no means of his own, and was supported by his wife, who had a protection order against him.—His Honor said that tho evidonce disclosed a state of things not creditable to tho defendant. Still he con sidered that it had not been shown that ho had means of his own wherewith to satisfy the judgment, and therefore he could make no order. He supposed tho result would bo that the wife would pay tho money in tho end.

Michael Fitzgerald v. Blackmore Gold-mining Company. — Claim, £74 for wages.—Mr Brassey for plaintiff and Mr B. Hesketh for defendant.—His Honor gave judgment in this case, which had been previously heard. He found that the plaintiffs claim 6hould be against John Fitzgerald and Blackraore, who employed him, and not against tho Company.—The defendant was, therefore, nonsuited j costs £6 Bs.—The caso of John Fitzgerald v. The Blackmoro G.M. Co. (claim i' 49) was then withdrawn.

Contributors' List.—The contributors' list for the Stanley G.M. Co. was confirmed upon the application of Mr Brassey. Antonio Toxcovich anp Giacomo Car covicu v. Mitoi{£l>son and C«.—Claim, £139 9s.—Mr Brassey for plaintiffs and Mr B. Mahoney {or defendants.—The action was brought to recover the price of thirty-four sacks of kauri cujn, alleged to have been sold to the defendants.— Tho defence was that the gum. did not answer to tho description given of it by the plaintiffs, and consequently that they had made false representations. The gum at the top was of fair quality, but lower down it was rubbish. It had been " scientifically packed " according to one witness,—After evidence had been heard, His Honor re sorved judgment.

I Tuesday. Dkfended Cases, | H. C. Hay ward v. H. H. Field.—Claim, I £100.— Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the 1 plaintiff, and Mr Edwin Hosketh (instruc ted by Mr Browning) for tho defendant. The plaintiff is a master mariner residing in Auckland, and tho defendant, in the I subject matter of the action, was acting as ' agent for his wife, who is owner of the Kate McGregor. According to the plain tiffs case, he entered into a charter party with Mrs Field on the 17th September last, whereby he chartered tho schooner for three months at a rental of £50, any delay in yielding up possession at the end of that term to be charged for at the rate of £20 per week. The defendant, as owner's agent, accompanied the plaintiff on his voy age. On or about the 15th November the plaintiff, in conjunction with a person named Tembinoka, agreed to purchase the vessel for £1,200, and in consideration of this agreement the defendant consented to abandon tho provision for penalty in respect of any excess of contract term. On the 15th January last, however Mrs Field' repudiated tho alleged agree ment, and demanded from the plaintiff £100, being the penalty for five weeks' excess of the stipulated three months' charter party, and at tho samo time the discharge of cargo was prevented till the demand should have been satisfied. As the cargo was of a perishable character, the plaintiff paid the amount, and then brought tho present action for its recovery from the defendant. The defence was a complete denial to all the allegations as to an agreement to purchase, and to an waive the penalty for delay in giving up possession. Evidence having been taken, and the learned counsel having been heard, His Honor nonsuited the plaintiff; costs' £7. .

The Court then rose.

EDEN TERRACE ROAD BOARD.

A MEETING of the Eden Terrace District Board was held last evening to consider the cutting down of Summer-street to Flower street, and to hear objections thereto. Mr Paton occupied the chair, supported by Mr Adam Porter.—The Chairman introduced the matter, and produced plans and speci fications prepared by Messrs Boylan and Lundon, and asked the residents to state their objections, if they had any, to tho proposed improvement. The Board was prepared to spend £60 on the work. The majority signed in favour of the proposition, the only objectors being Messrs Reid, Stokes, and Shields.—Mr Reid said he should be put to considerable expense, bat he would withdraw his objection provided the Board would give him £10 to cover his expenses in connection with tho alteration, He would find material and do the work. —Mr Porter thought objectors should give way, and allow the street to be cut down according to the plan. It would cost a little money, but in the end it would be to the advantages of property-holders.—Mr Reid thought the ratepayers should not work foe posterity.—Mr Porter begged to differ* Where should we have been? where cur civilisation ? but for the glorious works of our ancestors.—Mr Reid : There is some force in that argument.—Mr Shields would withdraw his objection if the Board would lower his fence. —Mr Carley would not stand in the way, although he would suffer ex pense and inconvenience. It was pro bono publico, and he would not oppose what, was for the public good.—Mr Stokes asked for £5 as compensation. He would not take less, unless the Board would consent to make the path and raise strong steps to his cottage.—ln accordance with a suggestion from Mr Morley, Mr Reid consented totaka £5, and Mr Shields £2 10s, and residents present signed the' petition in favour of the project.—lt was then determined to adver tise for tenders and proceed with the work as early as possible.
