TIMBER TRANSIT BY RAILWAY.

A COMPANY'S LIABILITY.

The Helensville Timber. Company were charged at the Police Court to-day with baying on the 21st May, 1887, at Helensville, knowingly and wilfully made a false state ment as to the quantity of timber delivered at Helensville upon the Kaipara-Punui section of No.. 3 Railway, a railway under the operation of the Public Works Act, 1882, by stating in the way-bills de livered in respect to such goods that the total quantity of timber was 54,357 ft, whereas in- truth and in fact there was 77,914 ft. ' Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the Rail way Department, and Mr S. Hesketh for the Helensville Timber Company. J. Ai Walker, manager of the Com pany, stated that the tiflaber in question was forwarded by W. Gheriton, clerk of the Company. The Company haii no knowledge of Mi* Cheriton's intention to slip in any shape or form. A statement made by Mr. W. Cheriton, clerk to the Company; was put in by Mr Heskaj|g|j| the following effect: "The timber in [3||m was loaded and despatched i^L a^K^Heat hurry to catch the Cabar feidhi^Pßie Kailway Wharf, Auckland. As Ji^was impossible ;to calculate the ■contents of every truck in time to catch the different trains, I averaged as nearly as I could the contents of each load, and it was not until the second day after sending kthe last load that the complete specification was made up. I did not (as I usually do) enter in my' freight book the amount of each con signment, but when the railway account came in some days after I took it. as correct. I have frequently done the same thing be fore when, owing to a similar rush, I have had no time to enter anything. It never struck me to' Compare the railway account with the copy of specification. Had I done so, the error would certainly have been dis covered. That there was any wil ful and knowingly? falso declaration aiade.l must emphatically deny. A man ■woulate a lunatic Ivho imagined that he couHi^end 70,000 feet of timber as 64;000 fpiEl certainly confess that when we were notified of the error I found that the Railway Department were correct, and I anticipated serious trouble between myself and our manager, and tried to get out of tie scrape in toe best^y I could." Mr Cooper submitipd another written statement made by Ciicriton, in which ho stated that he had made a deduction for ■ shorts; A lengthy legal argument ensued, in which /counsel discussed .-the liability of the Company for the action of a servant. Mr Cooper contended that the Company was liable far Mi"-Cheriton's fiction, and submitted that they mflSt haveJsoown. very \vell what the defendant was doing. He acted as an officer of the Company on bfehalf of the Company, and- the Com pany received -.the benefit of his ,action. Mr Cooper submitted that His Worship should convict the defendant and impose a small fine to lead them/td,believe that . they are responsible foj^ the conduct of their ■' ■' employes.1 \." ' '•' ■ Mr Hesketh. said the main point in the case, to his mind, was whether the Com piny knew of the act of Mr Cheriton and adopted; it. ,*Jtr Cheriton hid struct an Jayerageljas IJoUhe amount of timber shipped, aiid? contended;. that the Company had no knowledge of it and no responsibility. The Company had paid for the difference between the quantity shipped and the quantity.stated byiCheriton,- and further tnan this, he contended, they were not k liable. ..- ±'' _ ■>;,- Xumerous authorities bearing on the ' subject were quoted, and His Worship said be wooldlpok over ftllep^carefiilly and ad journ £he~case till Fridaymormng next.

pbs. t . i. . a, . , , , . .i Sir Koburt, i.i reply, said that though ho realised that it was a great honour to be called on to represent one's fellow-citizens, it was also a position that entailed sacrifice in respect to health and comfort, and the representative was a loser, especially one like himself, who did not pose as a wealthy man, and who had young children of his own to bring up and look after. Though he could not comply with the wish expressed in the address, he would never forget the kind ness of those who had signed it, and the good wishes expressed ay other fellow colonists. He had always been handicapped in election contests by the religious cry being raised against him, nob by the people at large,', for as had been pointed out members of all religious denominations had signed the address now presented, but by what he might term the least enlightened of the colonists in respect to this matter. He would keep the requisition for his chil dren as a memorial of the kindness on the part of those who had signed it, and if ho ever did re-enter Parliament it would be his aim to do the beat ho could for our common country. . •

THE MANAWATU RAILWAY.

Wahganui, this day. The " Herald " says :—" Some of the Wel lington papers aro never tired of puffing the wonderful enterprise of *bho Manawatu Railway Company, but the enterprise is by no means surprising when we con sider the way the wheels have been greased. This fortunate Company received no less thau 20,000 acres of land of the ' prairie value' of £96,000 ; a quantity of reclaimed land (20 acres), estimated at £30,000 ; and works handed over by the Hall Government, valued at £42,000. The total gift to the Company amounted to £168,000, but the real value of the land was £1 an acre—£2lo,ooo instead of £96,000. We have*accordingly to add £114,000 to the amount, which makes up the total of £282,000. If the railway, therefore, were sold to tho Government for what it cost, the Company mould pocket upwards of a quarter of a willion. Who pays ?"
