ALLEGED LIBEL AND SLANDER.

CJorgymr-n's Grievance* - Claim for A #,1,250 Da«!agc£i.

f&o Plaintiff Nonsuited.

3NK following is the conclusion of the cvi iw<x in the dander cn«o Hnraphswya v. Captain Roberts, wliich was partly reported in our last issue:- Alfred Bevins, second olliccr, examined hv His Honor: 1 only knew of the nblin" by report. I never saw any of it, f Sghoulif not consider whist for sixpenny P Hh Cor'aftiiis BtftßO asked Mr Heokoth if he considered that playing whist for six- I Inny or shilling points was doropatory to thu character of a minister, MrHeaketh remarked tluit it was a matter °f mfHonor rcjoinod that if it were, ho had know 50 ministers who had done what ha ''"w'iUiam Garden Cowir, Anglican Buliop of Auckland, then gave evidence as to i • tin's -ino';cation fur employment^ and mont under the Board of Education. He «id ■ I could not odor tho plaintill employ m«n(-'nsn clergyman, because ho was not a Irivman of my Church. 1 told him ho wnot known tb us, but in order that he mi<4t become known to us, I applied to tho RoSrd of Education for omploymont for him and I believe he obtninod employment in consequence of that application. I sub wquently tried again to got him employ mnn«orco Davis, seaman on board the ■ Hermipne during her Voyage from London to Auckland in ISS3, 1 o numbered the effigy of Mr Humphreys. Ho rigeed it up in con e«monce of tho sailmaker telling him that the captain had ordered him to make an effi.'v of plaintiff. It resembled plaintif! because it had a square college cap spectacles, and half Wellington beets such as Mr Humphreys liaed to wbar, James Sadler (seaman), Frank borne s, William John Locke, and John Eldo Brown (passengers) ahi gave evidence. concluded the plaintill s caso. _ Mr Hesketh then moved that the plaintiff should be nonsuited upon two grounds : in the first place, because no evidence had beenaddused to show that Iho ctligy had bceu made at the direction of tho de fendant and published by him ; and in the second place, because the words alleged to have been used in respect of tho plaintiff ttero not actionable, inasmuch as they did I not touch the plaintiff in his professional I balling; and even if they did, they wero not actionable unless it could bo Shown that they were followed by special damage. His Honor said that, in order to sustain the charge of libel, it would be necessary Lel'dvrthat tbe defendant either authorised or was a part}" to tho preparation and exhi bition of the effigy. No evidenco whatove.r hod been given "to show this. 'I lie meio fact that the captain stood by and mis chievously enjoyed the fun liko the rest of tho pa3S6ngerß was no proof that ho insti gated, or even approved, the publication of the libel. Nor was itevery piece of mischief liko this that constituted libel. In the pages of "Punch" every weekthero were much more serious libels against far higher per eonages than the plaintiff. With regard to the allegation that defendant had told several persons that plaintill' was unfit to be a minister, this seemed to him to be a mere expression of opinion, which any man was entitled to hold of his neighbour. It carried with it no libellous meaning what ever. As ho had remarked before, it would be much more libellous to say that plaintiff was only fit to be a minister. Public men must submit to criticism, l'eoplo might say *hat he was unfit to be a judge, bat that too w7as a mere matter of opinion, la support of tho charge o: slander, tho de fendant was accused of using in respect of lib plaintiff the terms " swearer, fighter, eilnibler," besides the phrase ho had just uealt with. Tllese were strong words tertainly to be applied to a minister. Thoro tVaa no ovidence cs to plainti'l' being a gamblor. He held with Mr Hesketh, how ever, that unless tho defendant meant a cheating gambler there vas nothing libellous in tho word, Mere words of abuso like those mentioned, reflecting simply upon the moral character of the plaintiff, and not affecting his qualifications as a minister, not be libellous co lon-; as they did not lead to a depriva tion of his professional character or status. It might be very wrong for a minister to ewear, fight; or gamble, but co far sm be had heard, there was nothing in this ease to reflect upon the plaintiff's character. The use of the word "damn" iVas of no consequence, seeing that ministers bf the highest character were dealing out damnation all round every Sunday. Tho obly evidence as to plaintill' being a fighter *as with reference to circumstances, his conduct under which did him credit. Ho saw nothing at all in the allegation of gambling. It would be stretching things too far to pay that a minister who played whist for 6d or la points wus gambling. It had not been shown that these expressions prevented the plaintiff obtaining employment. There was no ovidence to go to the jury, and plaintiff therefore mast bo nonsuited. Neither had anything been brought out to reflect Upon plaintiffs character. He deprecated tho bringing of actions for slander into Court. He must be a poor man, and the character a weak one, that could not better live down a elander than by bringing the matter into tho Court of law

Mr Hesketh said that plaintiff had been advised by four firms not to bring on his action, and that Mr Campbell only took it up because the plaintiff asserted that the profession Mould not assist him.

AN INSURANCE CLAIM DIS ALLOWED.

Befokk His Honor Mr .Tustico Gllliea at the Supremo Court to-day, tho case of Joanna O'Connell v. South British Insur ance Company, claim, £150. on a policy of insurance, was ileard; Mr E. iicoketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Button for tho defendant; The claim was based upon a policy of insur ancs for £150 upon certaiii furnlt.fj and effects which wero burned in a tiro in Weliesley-etroct West last year. Tho defence was that the plaintiff had not com plied with three of tho conditions under which the polic)- had been issued, viz. (1) That the same goods should not be insured further iii any other oliico; (2) that notice of loss should be givon • within 15 days thereafter; and (3) that any action to recover should be commenced within a specified Sim.}, which plaintiff hud exceeded.—The plaintiff, Joanna O'Connell, in her evidence stated tint she insured her hoi si and household eli'.cts iv tho Union Company for X2lo, and her household furni ture and effects in the South British for £150. — Ellen O'Connell (plaintiffs daughter), James Dickey (clork in the South British Company's office), and William Alfred Rigby (valuer for tho South British Company), also gave evidence —Mr Heskoth having been heard at some length upon tho logal questions involved in tho case, }lii Honor held that tho plaintiff? claim could not bo recognised in coneequenco of hsr breach of] conditions by subsequently insuring the samo property in a second office without giving notice to tho South British. If tho claim had been an honost one, no insurance company of standing would havo resisted it upen a technical point. Judgment was therefore given for the defendant, with costs upon the lower scale.

"CLOUDS" AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

To-SIGHT iho celebrated comedy - drama of "Clouds" will bo produced at tho Opera House by Mrs G. B. W. Le.vis and Com pany. This is Hib tirst representation of the piecein Auckland, and as tho "cast" promises some good acting, there will doubt-loss be a large attendance.

"Clouds" consists of four acts, and there being rather long, there will be no after piece.

THE HINEMOA'S MOVEMENTS

i . • The Government steamer Hinemoa ro turned last evening from Woiwera with the Hon. P. Buckley and Hon. J. A. Tola. She was berthed at the Railway Wharf, whore a huge number of people had assembled to meet her, thua indicating tho amount of public interest displayed in her movements. were again very rolieent on the burning question of annexation, but it was understood that sovoral conferences had taken place at Waiwora with Sir Julius | Vogel, and that the opinions of the fhreo I Ministers respecting tho desirability of action were unchanged. Tho probabilities seem to favour tho belief that the trip will bo abandoned. The Hinemoa was to havo left to-day for Gisborne, Napier, and "Wellington, but pending the result of future negotiations that are now proceeding, her departure has been post poned till tomorrow. Arrangements have been made for coaling the vessel here, and sho was engaged to-day tranship ping a hundred tons of coal from a schooner which had just arrived from Russell. It is again doubtful whether the steamer ; will go to the Islands or Wellington, but if to tho latter place, If on. P. A, Buckley, and Hon. J. A. and Mrs Tolo will be pas sengers. :

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

c. The quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at 2.30 this afternoon, the President; Mr John Reid, presiding. The Chairman, in opening the pro ceedings of the meeting, congratulated membcH on the generally satisfactory con dition oi' commercial matters here, a fact which was borne out of some local statistics which had come into his hands. He found from these that on chief exports—gold, cum, timber, and wool, had all been pro duced on a slightly increasing Ecale, while many new industries had c:mo into pro: 1 minenc during tho year, notably cheese making and sugar-refining. The returns roppeetins; these exports soein to show that we have increased the production of gold by fully 20 per cenb Of gum we have produced more than any previous year on record, the I ±\V2G.OOJ tJr tiiis piirt agttsnst tifHi,i.iiW for ' iuipuvt We for all the pi-oviucs ana a ! portion of the North Island, but we only ■ export here for a portion of tho province.

A LAWYERS LIABILITY.

Extraordinary Claim for Damages,

At the Civil Sessions of tho Supreiiie Court to-day, boforo His Honor Mr Justice Gillies and a special jury, tho case of Edwin Latimer Clark r. Albert l^'evei^ and Thcophilus Cooper, jun., claim £1,20S Ss, damage?, was hoard. Tho plaintiff ap peared in person to conduct his case. Mr J. M. Alexander, appeared for tho de fendants. Tliß foilqvir'E gentlemen were sworn in as a special jury :—S. A. Biirt, M. A. Clark, L. Coupland, Gco. Cruiekshank, D. Grey, A. Hcnthor, G. Holdship, J. Miller. J. P. A, Philwn, S. F. Sowell, and B. Vailc.

Application was Made by the plaintiff for leave to hero h's e'erfc f.Mr.U/tiry.} beside him in order to f&ad out hii letfeio and papers for him, as ho was not himself able to read sufficiently well. Hia Honor declined, aaying that if plain tiff cc Hid not oonduot his own ease lie ehould not have brought it into CWfc,

The plaintiff thon proceeded to open his case. Hb siUd f tiat Ho Had Kesri obliged to conduct it biniiqlf, as lie could got *io soli citor to ttssiat against a firm'<jf solicitors. Ho considered Himself entitled to damages for having lH«*.tM t>r.o«lfca of His b'iieinoss through the neglect of deter dan ts in respect of matters which ho had confided to their hands. The plaintifl'then went on to make a discursive tfnd rather incoherent statement. Ho said that his enemy had Vainly tried to have him arrested as a vagrant, but ho had too much money for that ; that Mr J. B Russell hrfd got two' doctors to examine him, but thoy could not say he was r. tiiadtifitn ; that hohad given Mrl-leskcth i'!i 8s to con duct his case, but that ho had now deserted him.

At this stage His Honor interposed to provent further waste of time.

Albortt'evorewaoilieii dulled, anddeposed that his firm had never been retained by the plaintiff. All tliat they had dbno for him was to register ri deed of partnership, give aoma legal ajvice, and receive for plaintiff and pay to him a sum of £700.

Thoophilus Cooper, jun., gave corrobora :ivo ovidence. .

ThO plaiclitfa lino of examination was very irregular, and His Honor had fre quently to interfere. At length" he said that no misconduct could be shown on de fendants' parts unless it wore first proved that an solicitors they had been retained by plaintiff.

As tho plaintiff appeared to have no further ovidenco to oiler, His iionor non suited tile, plaintiff,, charging him with costs on tho higher scale,

ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT NEWMARKET.

I A MJMJ sensation was occasioned in town last evening when it became kno'n-ii that a railway accident had occurred at tfie Now lilarket railway crossing, and that Judge Feiiton had been injured. Tlio particulars aro follow :—The 4.-/5 train from Auckland to Kaipnra was delayed at Newmarket through shunting, and wlion if left New market station it went at an unusually quick rate of spued, presumably for tho purpose of making up tho .lofiv time, tno train approached tho crossing so rapidly that it was not noticed by a cartor named T. I.upton, who was driving his team from Kyber Pass, and iiiot as tho engine reached tl-.ocroi.-ing the leading horso of tho team was on the rails. Tho cowcatcher struck tho uufortuuato animal and dragged it along. Tho shatter and dray wore pulled along with tho loader, but coming in contact withthosignal-post they wcroseparated from tho leader. Wlion tho collision took placo, tho driver Lupton jumped out of tho cart, and got off with a few scratches. Tho loading horeo wn= carried in front of tho train for about 150 yards, and was finally thrown ovor tho embankment. It diad shortly afterwards. Judgo Fonton was a I avenger by the train. There was no smoking carriage, and wishing to indulge in a whiff, ho ?at on tho platform of tho carriage, routing his feot on tho steps. He knew, nothing of tho collision till ho experienced a violent blow r.cro.ss tho legs. It i* supposed that tho shaft of a dray or a portion of tho chain of tho harness struck him aftor tho lender had been sepKratcd from tho dray. Immediately after tho blow Judga Fenton raised himyclf on tbo platform of the carriage, when it was found that his legs y.'oro bleeding profusely; He was promptly convoyed to tho'residenco of his son-in-law, Dr. Lewis, who bandaged tho wound?; which ho found to bo Bovero lacerations of both legs below tho knee. Judga Fenton vras soon by a Stak reporter at his residence, Jermyn-street, at noon to day. He appcara to bo in excellent spirits, and hopes to be about again in tho course of a week or so.
