KIKXKUY Bnos.^Cla»n. £469 93 4d, value of work done to and materials supplied tor s.s. Pelham.-Mr Thoo. Coopor appeared for the plaintiffs, and Messrs J. P. Campbell and E Mahony for the defendants.—Messrs Wm Erringtun, Charles Brown Pearco, Frederick Earnest Crompton, and Ebenozor Robertson Cardno wore sworn in as a jnacial jury to **? tho action' and Mr Compton was chosoc icroman. -After ex Dla i D i n gthat the caso Wis c Dimple claim by Braneton and Forßter, the well-known plum bers and copporsmiths of this city, against Martin Kennody (trading as Kennedy Bros.), tho owner of b.s. Pelham, for work dono and materials supplied in respect thoreof, JirCcopsr wont on to road tho amended statements of claim and of defonce. lie then stated that the three or four issues in ■ the action which it would devolve upon tho jury to determine were as follow:—(J) Whether the orders received by plaintiffs were given by Walter Peck on behalf of do fendanta? (2) Whothor, assuming: that Walter Peck did act on behalf of de fendants, he had such authority from the defendants as to bind t!.0i31 (3) Whether the work and matßriifs alleged were dono and sup plied? and(i) Whether the amount charged by the plaintiffs was fair and reasonable 1 The real question, bos/over, waa that of tho alleged agency of Peek—whether or not ho U'ss authorised by tho de'ondants to give the order for doing tho work which formed fhe basis of tho claim? Th.orp v/as no contest about the work itself. As n matter of fact it had boon done. Mr Cooper thon stated tho facts of his (asa, Evidenco was thon adduced, — Walter Peck's written appointment by tfyrfii? Kennedy as inspecting engineer of (he contract Ifif Jhe conversion of tho barque Pelbam Jnto a steadier 'which contract had im 'U* VSeager) w«a first put m Charles Burrows Stone, nxci'ehant, carrying on business under the name of Ston.o Bros., tosed in connection with the conversion pf th# barque Pelhain into a steamer ho p-jgbt havo nigned theagreonient on behalf of dawodanU. He recollected Walter Peck com ing to him from Mr Kennedy in Dec, 1884, in connection with the alterations in tho Pelham. Ho brought with him a letter pf intooduction from Martin Kennedy, [tetter produced and read. It introduced Peck as chief engineer of tho Pelham, and Inspector for the purposes of Sengor'a con tact], Mr Peck acted as engineer nnd Inspector. After a time Peck found fault with Seager's performance of tho work, and called upon his partnor Gouk to eemplete it. Witness had read tho agfeenjent with defendants, and Gouk was a partner to it. — Ilia Honor consulted ths agreement, and found that Gouk waa mersly appointed as Seager'B attorney to receive tho money due, »nl that he had further agreed to supply the mat^rja/s. Gouk did complete tho port, and he beijeyed the value of it was over £ 1,000. He faelieyed, too, that Fraser tnd Tions had dono oomfi ijl the work. — Williajjfl Bronston, of the f;nn of Braneton arid Jfarator, copper jmitbs and plumbers, deposed cc the receipt of the order from Mr I'ccl: and its execution in accordance with Mr Peck's instructions. Witneesctfh-st declined the work, as they were very busy, but even tually promised to take it on tho usual torma Peck then notified his coppersmith (Dicken jon, a sub-contraotor) to deliver the pipes to plaintiffs, Ho also instructed wjtnftjs to put on sa many hands as possible, as tho WOtk was behind tinoo. They took on titra hands, and commenced the same day (sth of JJay), witness directing the coppor- Binithto do everything that Peck required. Tb*y completed tho work by tho 19th June. -Samuel George Lea, accyuatsnt in plain tiffs' employ, deposed to tho arrangement made between Mr Peck and Mr Branston. The account which had been rendered was correct in eyery particular excepting an extra, which wascWgod twice over in pure error.—William Dunn, principal plumber in plaintiffs' employ, stated that h,e was in charge of the plumbing dono on the Pel ham. Each man kept hisewn time, and an »eeonut of it was delivered to tho office dally. The amount of lead-piping used wa3 given in to £Jr Leo.—Robert Drummond, principal coppersmith, and James Dickon »on, coppersmith, wero also examined. — Chas, Hawkoswood, for 23 years an Jron founder in Auckland, examined particulars of plaintiffs' account, and stated that tho charges were fair and reasonable,—This was the plaintiffs' case.—ln opening the de fenao, Mr Campbell stated that there were two major points and one minor point involved in the action, viz., (1) Was Mr Peck agent of defendants and authorised by.them to pledgo thoir credit ? (2) Conceding this, did ho give any ordora to the plaintiffs for work and materials ? (3) Were the charges fair and reasonable ? —Walter Peck was then called. Ho stated that he was employod by defendants as in specting engineer for tho Pelham. His powers were very strictly limited when ho came up to Auckland. Ho arrived on tho 2nd of January, and first root tho defendants in February. Tho water-closets charged {or were Eupplied while- tho vessel wa3 In dock, and during tho continuance of Seager'B contract. Ho ordered no laad piping ezeopt for one small work, to* which he paid. 4d per lb was tho correct prico for lead-piping, but tho work charged for was excessive by two-thirds of tae whole. In the beginning of May Gouk accompanied him to plaintiffs' premises, and told Branston to do everything that was in the contract at his (Gouk's) expense, and Under witness's direction. He further said that he would be satisfied with witness's dictation as to what woro OKtras. Witness then told Branston that ho would point out the extras as tho work Went ahead, and be him not to mix up his account with Gouk's, On another occasion Branston cimo down to the Polham, when witness Mid to him, "There are a whole host of things that require doing." Branston replied, " Get Gouk's order thon, and I'll Q0 f them." Gouk gave a verbal order. He neither said nor insinuated that defendants would- pay Branston for these things, ac never ordered any copper-piping. He uw not recollect ever telling Branston to go on with the work, and he would see him ?aid all right. — Croe ß examined : Oouk undertook to finish Seager's contract for *J>B balance of the price agreed upon, "aser and Tinne were to do the iron work. They had been paid £1,500 odd. 01 these about £556 were for oxtras, so thut were was £900 odd on their account, ex oiaiive of extras. When Gouk undertook w mush the contract for the balance, that glance amounted to £700, and Gouk autho rieedthepaymeiitofFraserandTinnooutofit ion!? j, to Paving Fraser and Tinno's tJUO odd, Gouk was to pay Branston and praters charges. - Charles A. McGre gor, master mariner, deposed that bo wis present at a conversation on board tho m the course of which Oouk gave .f ranston an order for brass castings. Ho mSft ln Auckland on the 19th of April «mthel water-closets wero on board by May tW 1. this BtaKe> Mr Campbell said jnot he would not take up time by con ;? 8"."8 tnefairnees of the prices charged for ue items of account. Ho would therefore jwwee no further evidence. Mr Edward dfTf«! ney on tho jury for the -snZSJ ?! M? Theo' Ooo P«r fo»owed in °upport of the claim. (Left Bitting.)

Mr Gerald Massey delivered in tho Opera ITouec last night tho concluding lecture of his Sunday evening courso, tho subject being "Thomas Hood, Foot and Punster.' Mr W. Coopor presided. Tho lecturer said that Hood exceliod all other mon in tho art of word-twisting, and oven h|s droll pictures iv-oro exceedingly witty. Every drop of ink from his pen swarmod with the most fantastic imps of merriment and fun, which so convulsed ppoplo that they were like to commit comicido. Hood produced some of his most startling effects by tho uso" of autithosis. Extremos woro always mooting in his mind as in his life, His fun was of tho brightest and oven kept its freshness of stylo, while his sparkling wit settled down into a guidon procipitato of wisdom. He had littlo of tho bittorneap of satire, and ho never tried to play upon tho miseries of suffering humanity. On tho contrary, ho sympathised with it, and his wit sometimes seemod but his other way of crying. As he himself had said, he was reduced to the neceesity of making brood grins under narrow circumstances to bo a lively Hood for a livelihood. Ilia ' Song of tho Shi.'t produced a lighting flash of revelation. Us S9i f t h fl| «; g htyja j rmy ri tl lp poov exact justice from tho rich and powerful. The shirt that he took from tho hand of the woman " clad in unwomanly rags was a vory NesßUß's shirt, which he paced around the shrinking shoulders of England. "The Bridge of Sighs" thrilled to tho heart of universal humanity. After denouncing the monopolisation of tho land, which was rightfully the heritage of all, and pointing to"the future promised by the co-operation of labour and capital and its fair division 0 profits, the lecturer concluded by pa>ntl"S with loving hands Hood's death, and b> assigning him with Burns in tho van of the battle waged on behalf of tho lower claasea. Mr Massoy leaves by ;tbo outgoing mail steamer,
