DEFENDED CASES,

John McDonald v. J. D. Bentley : Claim, 9s, rent and possession of tenemont. —Mr E. Cooper for plaintiff.—After evidence had been taken, judgment was given for tho plaintiff, and the defendant ordered to give up possession in a fortnight.

Patrick Murphy v. Thos. J. North i Claim, £2 10s, rent and possession of tene ment.—Mr E. Cooper for plaintiff, Mr Keetley for defendant. — The witnesses' statements having been heard, the case was decided in the plaintiff's favour, and the defendant ordered to yield up possession in a week. John Lamb v. St. John Keyse : .Claim, £9, rent, etc.—Mr S. Hesketh lor the plain till', and Mr Thos. Cotter for tho defendant. —Tho plaintilf alleged that he had let his store to the defendant for two weeks at £4 a-wcek, in order that he might koep and sort therein a consignment of potatoes, tho condition, however, being attached that the premises should be left in as clean a condi tion as that in which they were found. This, it was stated, had not been done, and the claim therefore was for two weeks' rent, at £4 per week, and £1 for clearing. Tho dofonco was that tho plaintiff had let I'iis premises for the storage and sorting of 30 tons of potatoes, at the rate of (id per lon, Mr Jakins having been previously charged 4d per ton for a similar use of them. 30s hud been tendered for the fortnight's occupation of tho store, but hud been refused. It was not admitted that the , promises were left in an unclean state.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Insurance Combination.

(To the Editor.)

Silt,—l sec by Friday night's issue that roforonco lias been made by our City Council to tho sudden rise in the price of insurance. I consider tho several com panies in combining together to bring about this extortion are doing an injustice, and taking a mean advantage of the pro perty ■ holders in Auckland. What would wo think of a number of tradesmen meet ing together and saying tho Auckland piiblic must pay double the price for a necessary commodity or do without it, knowing they were not in a position to ob tain it elsewhere? Those of us wko have recently joined tho city were assured, as an inducement to amalgamate, that our insur ance would be considerably reduced through having a supply of water close to our door, for which accommodation our rates have been doubled. Judge of our surprise when, on reminding the insurance companies of this, they make us pay 70 per cent, more for our trouble and expense in making their risks safer. Now, sir, are we to stand still uud bear this imposition meekly and quietly? I,say emphatically No. I sup pose the companies, by uniting, think they have the Auckland public in their own hands. Need I say to your readers that wo ought to possess a spirit that rises above such oppression ? Let us, like men, make them Buffer by withdrawing from them, and on no pretext whatever have anything more to do witli them. But some will say, " What are wo to do '! Surely there is sufficient money amongst our Auckland shopkeepers, property-holders, and middle classes—most of whom insure—to combine together and (lout a company at once within the reach of all who possess £5, give all such a share, which would mako the shareholders suili ciontly numerous to guarantee a good business amongst themselves. Under existing circumstances, tho prospects of such a company would be excellent. Of course it will be argued that the old com panies would at once reduce their rates and drive tho new one off the field. But let the public bear in mind the way they have been treated, and tho way they would cer tuinly be treated again if the chance came, nnd 1 think it would bo sufficient to make us stick to our company. I trust, sir, an abler pen than mine will take the matter up. Let a public meeting be called, and the question dealt with.—l am, &c,

A Victim,

Model Bakery.

(To the Editor.Jl

Sir,—Mr Parson, the proprietor of the so. called machine-made bread, published an unjustitiablo attack against the usual method of making bread by hand and tread ing tho dough, as he is pleased to term it, under foot. In justice to myself and in defence of flio cloth I claim to bo a member of, I challenged him to point to any one establishment where such an outlandish practice of treading dough was carried on. Now the way he answers a direct challenge is, I must say, unique. He tells me I must admit that if we do not do it, the opportunity and temptation exist to the journeyman baker in an ordinary bake house for doing so. I con tell him, and I say it advisedly, that I have been in one of the largest baking establishments, if not tho largest, in tue world, and that w saying a good deal, where we never did less than 800 sacks of flour per week, and sometimes as much as 1,000 sacks, all by manual labour, and where the opportunity did exist we never thought of taking advantage of it. I think, sir, it would show more British pluck if Mr Parson had endeavoured to make his model a success to have gone in a more legitimate, honourable, and rational way to secure customers, than by throwing dirty water on tho trade, and trying to force his white elephant on tho fore ground. The charges he has mado ho ought to substantiate. I will pass no comments on the model bakery, nor the modo of operation carried on, but simply say those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. So far as I dan ascertain, the public are welcome at all times to visit any bakehouso in Auckland. We are not afraid of being discovered in any act that would bring discredit on the respective firms in connection with the baking trade. No admittance except on special business is required by us. Neither when a master baker gets a machine to knead tho dough do I call that bread made by machinery j nor has tho improve ments in bread machinery been so far advanced up to tho present date that they can turn out bread without its being manipulated by hand. Tho other portion of his letter I pass over, having now, I hope, fully convinced the publio that no such filthy practices exist among men who call themselves tradesmen. I will leave the model bakery in the hands of the public, and those who live the longest will see the most. Thanking you for your valuable space, I am, &c,

THAMES.

Thames, this day. New Prince Imperial.—An improvement is noticeable in the winze in No. 2 reef bolow No. 5 level. Several pounds picked stone came to hand yesterday. The winzo is now GO feet in depth, and has carried good prospects the whole distance, from which it is very evident there is a largo block of payable ground yet to bo opened at the lower level. Sinking of the shaft is likely to be undertaken shortly.

Qceisn of Beauty.— A promising leader has been discovered at No. 10 level, and it apparently corresponds with the gold-bear ing bDdy which detatches from the main reef at No. 9 level in the vicinity of tho run of g^old worked some eighteen months ago. It is 9 inches wide,and carries very promis ing varieties of mineral. Caledonian (low level).—Pipes for con veying compressed air are being fixed in the big pump shaft, and the tunnel at the 640 level will be commenced next week,

Magnolia.—A trial parcel of quartz from the Gibraltar reef at the low leval has yielded OJozs. of gold. Mariner.— The leader touched at the in termediate level proves to be tho hanging wall branch of No. 2 reef, and is 3in. wide but shows no gold. The manager will continue the cross-cut to the main reef which is only a few feet ahead, and thsn drive to tho junction of the two bodies.

Alhurnia.— Tho manager expects to complete tho riso from the low level next week, when ventilation will bo provided and prospecting works in the low level can be resumed.

City of Manchester.—A parcel of sozs. ICdwts. gold is to hand from this claim.

Moanatairi.—Sly, tributer, banked soz 7dwt gold.

Thames, yesterday. ! New Manukatj.—A crushing of 18 tons j from the leader at the 100 ft. level has given ' the remunerative yield of 24ozs. 2dwte. ? gold. Improvement has taken place in the I workings, gold having been found yesterday .■ in quartz of promising appearance at the junction of the leaders with the large No, 2 reef. No more stone will bo broken in the same place until next week, by which time another stope will have been brought ;, along.

Mariner.—A parcel of five loads of quartz from the cross-leader below No. 4 level has given a return of lOJozs. goldj Nothing is at present being done upon the leader, which is small, and therefore cannot be profitably worked. A body of quartz has been met with in the crosscut af the intermediate level, buj: has not yet been broken into.

Dart.—Driving has been commenced on No. 2 reef eastward of the crosscut at No. 3 level. Tho junction of a gold-bearing branch leader should shortly be met with in this direction. Cameron, tributer, has banked ll£ozs. gold. West Coast. —Creighton, tributer, ob tained 4oz-f. 14dwts. gold.

COROMANDEL.

Wb are glad to hear that Mr Aston, who f. ■ has come out from England to inspect the } New Zealand Kapanga mine, has been ex- r ceedingly well pleased with what he has • seen there. To use his own very expressive i phrase, the " mine is only in its infancy."'' • lie Bays that judging from the amount of ground stoped out and the returns of gold obtained that there are many years profit-' ■■ able work before the Company. The ground -. i id now well opened up, with very largo '. f. blocks available botli on the old Kapanga ■'■•■ reef and the Scotty's Hill reef; and then bearing in mind the enormous yield of the preciouß metal from several of the mines at 1 the Thames between 400 and 500 feet below l the sea level, with very good prospects of •: rich ground still deeper, we say, bearing | these Thames mines in view, the prospects , 1 of the Kapauga striking rich gold at 500 or 600 feet deep is quite as good as theirs j and I if Mr Aston can see his way to have the Kapanga thoroughly tested at the deeper level we have no doubt he will meet with '%■; ■ abundant success. While on this subject V we may mention two or three other portions '.}'' of the gold-field which have yielded abun dance of gold in their upper workings, but ::i are languishing for want of sufficient capital1 to dovolop the ground even at a moderate depth. Probably the best instance of this kind is the Union Beach and adjacent claims. There we have a cluster of about half a dozen claims which have yielded their thousands of ounces of gold ; especially is this true of the Beach, which paid between £30,000 and £40,000 in dividends, but • did not reserve sufficient capital to develop deeper ground, and is now languishing for want of funds. Their deepest level is only . ISO feet, and nil the other mines are still shallower. If a good shaft were sunk near the Beach the'ro is every facility for obtaining material cheaply, and levels driven ' -\ through the hill at some depth could hardly fail of being remunerative. The ground also between the Union Beach and the Kapanga is right in the direct line for gold- ,; bearing reefs, out has never been prospected for want of the necessary capital. Trig ; 1 Hill, too, is another piece of gold-bearing country, full of reefs, but being private property has never been properly tested, although good specimens have been got on the surfaco, a.nd the ground is known to abound in reefs.

Vizard's,—This claim is about to have a large parcel crushed at the Matawai battery, and there is a small parcel of rich picked stone to go through with it Altogether a very handsome yield is anticipated. y

■ Matawai.—This claim is also about send ing down a large parcel, and have already engaged we, hopper at the battery for that purpose. The reef in the main face still looks woll, is very large, and will yield an enormous quantity of crushing stuff.

Blackmore's.—lt is understood this mine will commence operations as soon as some little difficulty with some of the workmen is settled, The ground will be amalga mated with the HomeKule, and, with tha feattery, form a first-class mining property. They have a large quantity of crushing ma terial, rather low grade, but with the facilities they have for working, a small percentage will pay ; and while taking out the poor stuff they may come upon some of ft bettW quality.

New Corby.— Getting good stone from the stopes in the low level reef, highly mine ralised. The reef in the face driving to wards the old shot of gold also looks well, »nd likely for gold any minute. '

. Tokatea.— Have very hard country in the main level. Bars of flint cross the face, but Js impossible to boro. The stopes are turning out poor stuff; very little gold showing. Tributers McNeil and Knox are getting stone in the upper workings.

Queen of the North are sinking a winze on an old leader some distance from the old shoot of gold, but a little gold is show ing which looks well for the future.

Matawai.— Getting out a largo quantity of payable stone from the big fnce, and a few picked stone occasionally. The level is going in very slowly.

Union Beach still rising in the Venus, o good reef showing all the way. There is also a fino reef in the face driving hillwards. The drive on tho black roef is also looking well.

Jr/ST-ih'-TiME. — Getting good payable stone from No. 1 reef. Have repaired air passage to No. 2, and will resume opera tions in the winze immediately.

Albion;— Making first-rate driving to wards the Just-in-Tiine boundary. A vary short time should see the reef in hand. The country is very good.

Success.—The reef has been somewhat broken of late, but shows signs c,f coming ' together. The manager confidently anticE ' pates a haul of specimens.

New Colonial. -The manager is getfeW excellent loose prospects from the sipall leader. Unfortunately ho cannot crust at present through the difficulty about private property over which the road passes. / *

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.



(To the Editor of Evening Stah.)



Dear Sir,—l wish to add my tostimony to the efflcaoy of the great German romody, St. Jacob's Oil. i our columns have contained, from time to tuno, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having Batisflod my self o£ the Konuinonoas of th« owes effected I obtainod a bottle, soaroojy hoping it would suo ceod in relieving mo. For tho past sevon months I hare suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in Bpite of the moat able treatment on tho part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last bogan to bo affected and my wholo system vory much reduced. The most careful treatment f ailod to give me relief and I then applied nearly every advertised romedy. The ssiatica was principally located in my left th.igh, and the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, ajid ftp great est oaro and attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last as a forlorn hopo, I determined to apply St Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to dimmish. My sleep soon returnod, ana each application afforded mo relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hona that the ouro was complote; But I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now froo from pain-in fact, a man again. I must confess that I Mod the Oil in abso lute dpapair. I had had no sleep for throe or four nights previously, and my system was very low. Iho success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of tho Oil, and shall ovor continuo to recommend it to every sufferer who comes TM"? • l; asß ° °f "T influence, what medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil offectcd, and I regard it as tho greatest boon of tho age. I am, doar Sir, Yours faithfully Ashbourno, MuSgce, November 12,1883.

Publishers Evening Stab, "Doar Sire,—About a fortnight ago I had a sovere attack of rhuematism in my back, which gave mo no ond of pain and trouble. 1 used St. Jacob's Oil, and in one or two applications tho pain entirely left. Since then I have had occa sion to use the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was Bimply magioal. My wifo ha 3 used it for neuralgia in tho head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall rooom mend my friends to do so. " Yours truly, IT CONQUERS .PAJN. B°OTn-" IT CONQUERS PAIN.
