£300 Damages tor S-e_.uct.on.

In tbo case of James Ho.veil v. Felix Monaghan. wherein £500 was claimed aa damages for tbo seduction of pluintiff's daughter, Mr Tyldon opened the case for the dofenco yestorday afternoon. Ho then called Julia Monaghan, a little, stout, and agod woman, who stated that she was married to defondant in ISSS, and had no issuo to him, but that she had two children by her first husband, She said that in July, ISSS, she was living in the priest's houso. Mrs Howell was then with her, and the daughter camo afterwards, Witness was ill, and in bod, but occasionally up in an armchair. Tho daughter remained ior nine days, but witness was not away from the house during tho visit, except onco round tho paddock, and tho girl accompanied bor aud helped hor. It was not a fact that sho went to church at all during Millie Howell's visit. In ISS. Ainolia Howell was on a visit to witness, and she disapproved ol her pulling and dragging \vi_ti carpenters who wero at work on tho ground. Jn cross-examination she said she saw nothing improper in tbe girl's conduct. Jeremiah Caddigan, fencer, Howick, de posod to having been shown a paporby Mona ghan. This was the ease for tbo defence. Mr Tyldon, in addressing Iho jury, ex plained tho singular absence of 1)10 defend ant by stating that il was because oi bis iv- i nate modesty tbat bo could not attend.—■ j Mr laishley, in reply, submitted that tho conduct of tbe defendant was most dis graceful, and the lino of defence was also , disgraceful. Aftor His Honor's summing up i the jury retired, and returned in five ] minutes with a verdict for plaintiff and j £300 damages. Judgment was given in accordance with tbe verdict, with costs on tbe middle scale

Tho caso was taken later in the day, and Mr Button read the statements of claim. Most of tbe defendants submitted to a decree.

(Before His Honor Mr Justico Ward and a jury of 12). Finnmore Lee v. the Equitable In surance Association ok New Zealand.— Claim, £501), upon a policy of insurance.— Mr Thos. Cctter (instructed by Mr Mac keckuie) appeared foj' tho plaintiff, and Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for tho da.ei_d._nt Company.—James McCosh Clark, Archi bold Clark.and Carlton Dawson were called as jurors, but failed to appear.—Mr Cotter pointed out that one of the jurors (Levi Coupland) was a lo;:al director of tho de fendant Company. Mr Coupland was thereupon relieved from attendance. By consent of counsel engaged Mr Richard Garlick was also excused, it being ex plained that his partner was sick. The following jury Was empannelled -.—John Mowbray, John Chambers, Joseph Taylor Avmitage, George Eraser, John Bucha nan, A.fred Barnes, John Kussell Gray, Thos. Taylor Maseliold, Frederick Ireland, Wm. Cruickshank, Chas. Alexander, and ,Tas. Henry Moore Carpenter. Tho remain in" jurors wore discharged from atten dance, and on tho application of Mr Cooper ail witnesses were ordered out ef Court.— Mr Cotter, in his ope-_ing,s„id tbat tho caso would bo found to be a very simple ono. Tho statement of claim sot out tbat plaintiff had a stock of crockery ware in Hobson street (eastern side), which on 26th January, ISSG, ho insured with tho defendant Company for £SCO, and that on tho 2nd July following tho stock of crockery ware" referred to was totally des troyed by fire. Sinco then the Company bad not paid tho amount of tho insurance policy. Tho defence denied that tho crockory ware had been totally de.-troyed ; that the loss amounted to £500 ; that plaintiff had failed to perform the obliga tions and conditions of the policy by failing to put in a proper statement of loss, by over charging on various items, and by inserting charges for goods which were not destroyed. The Company appar ently claimed that the plaintiff was tbo owner of the stock in question, as woll as denying that its value was £500, or that tho los amounted to ..500. Tho Company was faking advantage of plaintiffs misfortune, for he wa3 unablo to write. Plaintiff brought with him to this colony a stock of crockorywaro which had coat him £-110, or to-etherwithfreight, shipping charges, etc., £0.0. It was absurd to contend tbat bo -hou.d only valuo thorn at tho actual cost in England.—Mr Cooper said this was not the point. Tho Company complained ot _ ross charges and impositions.—Mr Cotter v.-out on to fay that tho lira took placo on the 2nd of July, aud on the sth he sent in to the Company a brief statement, showing the valao of his stock at £750. and tho amount of lo"s at £500—the full extent of the in surance. The Company immediately de manded fuller particulars, and . plaintiff, accompanied by Mr Mackechnie's clerk, went to tho Company's oihee, and gave them all tbe particulars he could, showing amono-t other things that he had received a further shipment of goods to tlie valuo of £225, in July, 18S5. Plaintiff was put off from timo to time, but no dissatisfaction was expressed by tho Company. Finally plaintiffs particulars were sent to Duuedio, and afterwards an inspector vainly tried to settle the claim far £'200, the Company alleging that they had ascertained that tho value of the stock destroyed was not more than £190, which sum they offered in satis faction of the claim. This offer was de clined, and hence the present proceedings. It would bo shown by evidence that before the fire a Mrs Holmes wished to purchaso plaintiff's stock ; tbat he asked £800 for It aud that sho offered £000, which offer was refused.—Finnimore Lea, the plaintiff, was then called, aod deposed that at present he was not carrying on atiy business, Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane were agents of tho Pbienix Insurance Company, and they had acted for him with tho Customs in putting his stock of crockory ware, bought in Staffordshire, through the Customs. Its value, alter all charges had been paid was just nigb £600. The voucher produced was that for to ong.na stock and ho also identified a second vouchor as being that for his second lot of goods. Beforo coming out to Auck land ho had been for IS years m tho South Island Ho arrived hero with the first lot of goods in July, 18S_, and opened business in Hobson-street with tho first lot of goods As ho sold he also went on buying in Auck land It was in ISBS that be got the second consignment of goods from Homo. His first insurance was with tbo Plueuix, for which Henderson and Macfailane wore tho agents The amount, was £500. In consequence of representations from Henderson ami Macfar lane, instead of renewing with the Phoenix Le insured for £500 with tlio Equitable and a representative of tho firm inspected his stock for that Company. V, hon he got out that policy the cost to bun of the Roods up." his premises was between £800 and s§So.

The Tragic Fire at Dunedin.

Evidence at tho Inquest,

(BY TELECiRACH - OWN CORRESPONDENT!)

Dun-edi:., this day.

The tiro continues to be almost the solo

topic of conversation. Thousands of people visited tho ruins yesterday. Tho following waa tho principal ovidenco at the inquest :—

Dr. Brown said he saw Wallaco lying in tho archway separating the furniture from the hardware portion of tlie house. His head and shoulders and both arms were free, but the lower part of his body ar.d legs woro buried underneath a pno ot iron materials about four or livo feet in depth. Ho was quite conscious —in tact, I was able to sit up and direct tho_c who I were treeing him as to the exact position of ! hla legs. _ Witness afterwards saw him in : tbo huspital. The man wua in great pain, and witness directed ono ot tho students to administer morphia. Ho visited tho hospi tal again after 10 o'clock, and found that too man had just died. In hi. opinion iiu greater effort could havo been mado to release him, and the tilorts of the ' roscuo party were worthy of the highest praiao. Tlioco moo working on tbo lire sido of tho archway weiedo.erviug highest praise. Ho watched theso men wording, for sovotal )ii.uiis,,aml honour was due to them for the work they did utitl lhe intelligence they displayed. There wan gieut danger on the lira sido of Ibe arch, ami tbo arch looked vory precarious and had lo bo propped. Tbo material thai had to bo cleared was small ironmongery, ar.d formed a hard, dense mass, extremely diffi cult to clear oil', The work done by those mo 1 was arduous and praiseworthy. Re garding Esquillant tho witness said he was lying at tbe opposite end of tho arch to Wallace. Esquillant waa buriod under much the same material as Wallace. There was no part uncovered except his head, and tho right uhoulder and right arm. Ho begged mo to givo bim somo chloroform, as ho was in groat agony. Ho was jammed between pillars (which had formorly supported a staircase) and a bundlo of register grates. Ho was got out shortly before seven o'clock. Nearly tho wholo of his body wus burierl. His legs and left arm wore swollen, stiff', and cold. Deceased died from shock and tho groat weight of material lying on his body. Ho did not stato what he went into tho building for. His watch stopped at about a quarter or ten minutes to threo. On tho road to the Hospital he inquired if anyono else wus hurt, and seemed much shocked when ho heard that two men were killed, and another hurt.

Alexander McKenzie, momber of tho City Firo Brigade, said he arrived on tbo scone with the rest of the brigade, and forced his way into the back entrance of . tho factory. He was working in the furni ture department whon someone called out to a man iv tho cornor on the loft hand side. Ho got in as olose as ho could, and ' put water on to him. Could see his bead and shoulders, and saw tho man was held fast by something. He could not see ex actly what it was, because of tho.fire. A man said to him, " Good God, foreman, are you going to let him burr '.'' Witness said to - him he could do nothing, and then this man and another attempted to got ono oi the deceased out. Thoso two men tried with a lever to raise tho burning stuff holding do ceased down. At this timo, tho floor came down, and smothered tho whole place up. Both of the men with j levers wero covered altogether, and ho could not see them. He afterwards found out that tho rir.t man he saw was E.qoiilant. Something came down and knocked tbo branch out of hi 3 hand. When ho wont back bo saw another man half jammed. All that could be dono to save them was dono. The noxt that happened was tbat the constable was trying to help Esqtiil laat out when anothor lot of material camo down, nearly hitting tho constable. Another Body Found. The fourth body has been recovered, and recognised as that of Richard Paseoo, a seaman. Search was made yestorday in caso moro bodies might bo buried under tbo . ruins, but though not exhaustive, it is now almost certain no mote lives wero lost. Tho Insurances are as follows:—Liverpool,LoiidonandGlobo, £5,000 ; London and Lancashire, £5,000 : Ph.-nix, £2,500 ; South British, __,SCO ; Koyal Union of Now Zealand, £'~000: Victoria, £'2,000; Sun, £2,0-0; Loyal, £'2,000 ; United, £1,700 : National, £1,750 ; New Zealand, £1,500; Northern, _i,000; Equitable, £750 ; Continental and English cilices not ropreseat.d in New Zealand, £11,205. Total £40,995.

At tbe itiquost the verdict was that 11. E. Esquillauf., Robert Wills, Andrew Millar, and Richard Paseoo mot their death by ac cident. A rider was added expressing sym pathy with Mrs Esquillant, and expressing a hopo that Francis McEwio, Fireman McKenzie, and Constables CMsholm and Clarke should receive some fitting reward, tliEir conduct being deserving of great nraise.

ALLEGED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Charge Against Ellis and Email.

Tue charge of highway robbery against tho young mon Frederick Ellis and Wm. Small, who were arrested recently, was proceeded with at tho Police Court to-day, before Messrs Brett and Clayton, J.P.'s. The prisoners wero charged with feloniously

and violently assaulting one Henry Cuth bert, and stealing Irom him tne sum of 18s. Sergeant Pratt prosecuted. Mr JNapi.r appeared for Ellis, while Small waa undefended. Henry Cuthbert, the informant, wus the first witness called, rae -aid be was a gardener, and on the 7lli January was liviug at the corner of Qwansoii suett. He went to Parnell on the evening of that day, and stayed with a friend of his. He had about _!oa iv silver in tho afteruoen. Eighteen shillings of this mount was wrapped up m paper in his trousers pocket. J_e returned tun aids town suortly alter 'J o'clock by way of Weilesley-

street, and hud a dria-t at the Clatuidon Hotel juat b_nore 16 closed. Then ho went up again towaids the Park for a walk, aud altar discussing tne .art Gallery with a trien_, proceeded t_ tbe top oi Abeicrorubie otr.et to sco it ho could get a drink. The two prisoncro came up to him when ho was at tne Wynyard Arms. A "Happy JSew .."ear" wus wished on either side, and after a lew coiautoa' conversation tney stiuiied down Abvrcrombie street nguin. Xney were passing a right-of-way, when one ot tne two prisoners usaed him 11 ho would sit down, and he said " JN'o," he had to got Home, linmodie-.eiy afterwards he felt a hand in nid pocket, oomebody seized him by tne tbrout,and hewaoonrovvn to the grounu. It was tue taller man (i_,lii.) who aei-ed him by the throat, and in uoing to ho expressed his intention of strangling tbo witness. V\ hen ho gut up he saw tnreu men ruuuiug away. It was a beautiful moonlight _igiu. Jae wus sure tno ISa was in his pocket immediately prior to the as.auic by the prisoners, but whon they it-it bim tbo pocket wua .uside out and tho money gone. He iulormed a constable that be had been robbed. —bergeant Prutt proceeded to ask the witness it ho gave any description 01 tho men who assaulted him to the constable. —Mr .Napier held mat the question could not be put. —A lengthy argu ment took placo, and tho Bench eventually ruled that the witness might say he gave a description of the men to the coiistaalo. Ho subsequently pointed out Jiilis, who was drinking colleo at tbo colli-- stall, us tlie man who had rob oed him. Ho had no doubt that these were iho two men who had robbed bim.—By Mr Napier :He never tod a man naiutd Mack mat the arrest ot Ellis wus a case of mistaKen identity and he wus sorry wio polico bad apprehended him. By Sergeant Pratt :An oiler was mado to him to go away and not be here when the caso was called on, A bundle of notes waa shown to bim by a man, but he did not know who mat man was. He was told his name was Eiiis. By tho Bench : When he got to Queen-street, ho lound he was too lato to got a drink at tbo United Service, so he walked up to tbe Clarendon, and got one there. Ho did not get a drink at tho Wynyard Arms. By Mr Napier :He was not in the Commercial Hotel that day, and did not sco Ellis and the other young man there- John Doyle deposed that he was in Aber ctombie-street between 11 and 1_ on the niS-t of Friday, ths 7th, in company with another fellow named Francis Small. He suw Ellis und Small there '.vith Cuthbert. Ho was about forty yards off them when ho first saw thom,and alter wards approached to a distanco oi four or livo yards. Ho saw Ellis seiz9 tho man Cu-hoert by the throat, aud bend bim half wa y back. Then ho saw small rifling his Dockets, and afterwards Ellis lot bim drop. Then Ellis and Small walked away. Cuthbert did not say anything for about a minute, and then, getting up, he called them d scoundrels, anil proceeded down tho passage through which they bad already gone. Witness'walked down the passage after him, and saw the

prisoners at the bottom of tho yard. Small was in the act of handing some money to Ellis. He could toll by the rattle of it that it was monoy. Prisoners remainod there about half-an hour, and Cuthbert met them i the yard before they went away. Sub sequently, witness saw Ellis at tho coffee stad. Doyle -7u. still under examination at threo o'clock.
