AN INTERESTING CASE.

An interesting civil action, savs the Wellington “ Pest ” of the 7th of September, was heard before Mr Shaw late yesterday, the plaintiff being a young man named Goldomith, who figured in the same capacity in another case a few hours earlier, and the defendant being a lady named Mrs Baker. Both are foreigners, the former a German, the latter a Norwegian. It appeared that the plaintiff went to lodge at defendant’s house, and lived there for some time. While glancing the contents of a photographic album belonging to Mrs Baker, his eye was particularly attracted by the likeness of a young lady, who it transpired was Mrs Baker’s ( sister. 'i he young man suddenly became seized with an eager desire to learn all particulars concerning the fair original, and loved to hear her beauties praised, and her virtues dwelt upon. So enthusiastic indeed did he grow in his passion of admiration, that he straightway wished to become possessor of the beautiful damsel. He was told that the young lady was then resident in Christiana, but the thousands of miles which separated the love-stricken youth from the object of his adoration were not sufficient to cause him to abandon all hopes of possessing her. Ho suggested that she should be sent for. The idea was a good one, and without loss of time, the ardent Romeo obtained an immigrant’s

nomination paper at the cost of £l, Bud subsequently parted with £5 towards her passage to this colony. His have since been dispelled, and he now wishes to recover tha £6 which his dream has cost him. His measures to achieve this object have, however, been unsuccessful. What 1 the young lady who is said to be actually on her way to -Now Zealand—will think of the deceiver s conduct when she arrives here, may be more easily imagined than described.
