THE PONSONBY RIFLES AGAIN.

Mcdonald v. searell.

CLAIM FOR AMMUNITION

SUPPLIED.

At tho R.M. Court yesterday this inter minable dispute appeared in a different form before Mr H. <J. Seth Smith. D. B. Mc- Donald sued Thomas Searell for 16s 3d for ammunition supplied. Mr Palmer appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Theo. Cooper for defendant.

The claim was worded as follows :—" Mr Thomas Searell, dr. to Daniel Burrell Mc- Donald. To amount due to plaintiff, Daniel Burrell McDonald, captain of the Ponsonby Riile Company, on or about the sth February, 1887,' by the defendant, Thomas Searell, then a sergeant in the said Company, for the undermentioned ammunition sold and delivered to the defendant by the plaintiff in such capacity as aforesaid, and still unpaid, to wit 225 rounds of Snider ammunition at 5s per 100, lis 3d ; 100 ditto at ditto, 5s ; total, 16s 3d."

Mr Cooper warned Mr Palmer that he should expect him to prove every point as the ca.se proceeded. Daniel Burrel! McDonald deposed that lie was a sh&rebroker, carrying on business in Auckland. He put in bis commission as captain of the Ponsonby Rifle Company. The defendant was indebted to witness as captain of the Ponsonby Rifles to the extent of IGs 3d due for 325 rounds of ammunition supplied by him to Searell. The defendant had put in a set-off, in which lie claimed £1 2s 3d for services rendered in connection with laying out the Ponsonby Rifle Range. Witness had not employed the defendant, and no one else had any authority to employ Mr Searell. That gentleman was one of the Range Committee of five. There was no understanding that the Committee should be paid for the ser vicos rendered. Witness did not owe the amount claimed in the set off. By Mr Cooper : He was Captain McDonald until the Company was disbanded, lie ceased to be Captain McDonald about 2 months ago, when the corps was disbanded. He did not know that he had been court-martialleci. He was placed under arrest. The corps was disbanded after the so-called arrest. The corps was formed in 1885, and existed until it was disbanded. During that time the Company became possessed of certain property. Mr Palmer objected. Mr Cooper said, " Surely Mr Palmer is not afraid of his commanding officer answering questions." Mr Palmer: " Not in the slightest: but I do not wish to stay here all day to hear Mr Cooper air his eloquence." His Worship : Go on, please.

By Mr Cooper: The corps became pos sessed of i'lßo in money. There had been tt meeting lately, when the money was divided amongst certain members, exclud ing Mr Searell. He did not know what sum was devoted to purchasing a tea and coffee service for himself. He thought X'3o had been voted to the Colour-Sergeant of the Company. A portion of the money of tho Company had not been realised from the ammunition. He had not disbursed the money ;it was the resolution oi the Company. They had presented Mr Searell with a leather medal. (This was produced by Mr Cooper amidst considerable laughter.) Witness recog nised the medal produced. Ho thought it extremely probable that was all Mr Searell would get from the Company. There wore 25 members of the corps. Ho could not say whether tho modal was l-25th of the £180. lip had not a license to sell ammunition. lie was not aware that ho had laid himself open to tho penal clauses of the Act. Did not know that the sentence for such an offence was not qxceeding three years. He sold 'ammunition in accordance with a minute of the Company. He swore in Mr Searell as a member of the Company, not as a captain, but as a Justieo of tho Peace. He did not know whether the reason that the Company excluded Mr Searell from the division of the money was because he had charged the Captain with falsifying tho returns. He declined to say whether ho had yet received the tea and coffee service. A good deal of the £130 was money received as capitation from the Government.

He was chairman of the meeting when £30 was voted to Barron. There wore about 25 members present. There were about' 45 on tho roll. Mr Searell had proposed that the balance of the capitation should be re funded to the Government.

Mr Palmer asked if Mr Cooper proposed to put in the medal as evidence. Mr Cooper : " If you like you may hang it round tho witness's neck."

Mr McDonald: "As you please, Mr Cooper, but it was more appropriate where presented, and if you choose you inr\y hang it round your own neck."' By Mr Palmer: Mr Searell had more than once wanted money from the Com pany. John Barron, keeper of the Western Park, deposed that lie had been a member of the Ponsonby Rifles. Ho was appointed as a member of the Range Committee. He understood that they wore not to be paid for their services. Witness had been in the Imperial service about 26 years. He was discharged as Sergeant-Major. He was at one time Sergeant-Instruc tor. As such he knew nJDOiit targets. The plans prepared by Mr Searell were use less, as they had to be shifted. At .the time ho offered to bet Mr Scared that the plans would not suit. Witness had im parted more instruction to Mr Searell than would do for a squad of men. Mr Searell confessed owing the 16s 3d for ammunition, but refused to pay it on the ground that the Company owed him money. Witness was not aware that the Company owed money to Mr Searell. By Mr Cooper: At the last meeting of the Company, when the money was divided, there was about £100. Captain McDonald called upon witness, who produced the leather medal and carried it up to the Chairman, who presented it to Mr Searell in a neat speech. That was his share of the money. Witness got £30, and he con sidered that his services were worth 199 such 'men as Mr Searell. He was second to none as an instructor, and had given his services gratuitously to the Company and to the Government. The Company had drawn capitation oh behalf of Sergeant Searell. „. ; .

By Mr Palmer: Mr Searell asked for the medal and presentation to be made, Mr Searell came to the front of the meeting, while Bugler Cave threw it over his neck. The medal was quite equal to the services rendered by Mr Searell to the Company. His Worship asked if Mr Palmer had any authority to show that a captain had a right to sue after the company was disbanded. Mr Cooper said that he considered to be a fatal objection,also the selling of ammuni tion without a license.

Montifiore Cohen corroborated the evi dence of tho previous witness. James Bruce Morpeth, Captain of the Ponsonby Navals, claimed his expenses prior to giving evidence. Mr Palmer gave his 1.0. U. for ss. Mr Morpeth claimed 15s as Captain of a company. This was arranged, and Mr Morpeth deposed that the Ponsonby Navals had not engaged Mr Searell to draw out plans of tho Rifle .Range. This concluded the case for the plaintiff. Mr Cooper submitted that there was no case to answer.

Ijis Worship said that ho would still want Mr McDonald's authority to sue for the raoriev proved. Mr Palmer held that this was provided for under section 67 of the Defenco Act 1886. Captain McDonald was trustee for the company's monies.

Mr Cooper said that there was no pro vision in section 67 for Mr McDonald, whatever there might have been for Captain McDonald. He also referred to the fact that his friend had not submitted the regu lations underwhich thecompany was worked. His friend could notehow that the Company had any right to sell ammunition. Neither had it been shown that Mr Searell was a member of the Company. The plaintiff must therefore fail upon the question of the status of the plaintiff, the control and the status of the defendant. He did not think in necessary to defend the actions of Mr Searell, but he must say that a more scandalous distribution of public funds amongst a few favoured members had never taken place than the present one. Mr Palmer, in reply, said that the state ments made by Mr Cooper were deliberate misrepresentations. Tho money was not public money, but the property of the Com pany, and they had a right to distribute it. Mi- Searell had been awarded what the Com pany thought he was worth—one half penny and a leather medal. He held that their case was a good one.

His Worship said that there was still the same difficulty as to the right of a former captain to recover money. The plaintiff must be nonsuited.

Mr Cooper applied for costs, which were allowed to tho amount of £1 2s 6d.

Mr Palmer applied for leave to appeal. His Worship could not grant permission, as the amount was under £5.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

A CANCER PATIENT CONSPIRES AT SELF-DESTRUCTION.

A COWARDLY IMPOSITION ON A

DYING MAN.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dctnedin, this day. A very peculiar case of extortion occupied the attentiou of the City Bench on Wednes day. Rudolph Wagner, a Dutchman, who had just been convicted of theft and got two months, was further charged that on or about 10th inst. ho, by false and fraudulent representations, did impose on Owen Mc- Nally and obtain from him tho sum of £6. Accused's reply to the chargo was— "I don't think so." Chief Detective Henderson stated that the case was n pain ful one, and the facts to be disclosed in evidence were of an unusual character. McNally was a patient in the Hospital, suffering fro. cancer in the eye and face. Accused had also been a patient in the same place. McNally endured great pain from his disease, and accused had been observed to be very attentive and sympathising in his demeanour towards him, and had been heard to say that as McNally suffered so much pain it would be better if he were out of tho way. This suggestion was followed by accused proposing to got something that would put McNally out of tho way nicely and quietly if the sufferer would give him tho money to buy tho stuff with. McNally gave accused 6s, and some powders were bought. When these were all taken accused said he would get some more stuff, but that the medicine was costly, as the Chinaman charged him a big price for it, and he >vould want more money. McNally gave him £1, and sub sequently accused got £5 out of the old man. Being then in funds accused suddenly got well, and wanted to go out of the Hospital, and spent the proceeds. Complainant then told the warder what had transpired between him and the accused, and it was discovered that the physic McNally had been dosed with was accused's own medicine supplied in the Hospital-—a cough mixture. When arrested accused had £1 3s in his pocket. Ho said it was money he had received from his friends at Home. Evidence in accor dance with this statement was given by Owen McNally and John Reid (warder at tho Hospital), after which the Bench said they considered the charge proved. It was one of the most cowardly and mean cases that could bo brought before the Court. and they had decided to give the accused twelve months' hard labour—the two sen tences to run concurrently,

MEETING OF CREDITORS.

A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of James McKec was held yesterday in the Official Assignee's Office. There were present the debtor and four creditor, the Assignee read the sworn statement of the" debtor, after which the debtor was further examined. Captain Clayton said that the sworn statement as published was calculated to mislead people in regard to his transactions with McKeo, and he wasdesirous that thoactualstateof matters should be placed on record. Captain Clay ton then further examined the debtor, after which it was resolved on the motion of Mr Cave, seconded by Mr Clayton that the Official Assignee be re quested to facilitate the discharge of the debtor.
