CAMPTOWN.

Saturday, Febrvauy 24. (Before Mr Wardon Whitefoord.) C. Bun and party v. James Carr and parly. — This was an action for damages against the defendants for injuring the complainant's leasehold and tail-race at Bed Jack's Creek. The defendants are sluicing on a terrace over the complainant's claim at Bed Jack's, and the alleged damage wa3 caused by allowing their tailings to run on to the complainants' workings. The defendants were ordered to desist, and pay the costs of the action. Kelly and Mullins applied for an agricultural leaso on a terrace above tho Twelve-Mile Landing. The application was opposed by the residents of the late town at that place, the site of which has been destroyed by the recent flood. The grounds of objection were that tho land applied for was the only suitable site in the immediate neighborhood for a township, and that it was intended to apply to the Superintendent to cause a town to be surveyed there. The hearing of the application was postponed for tho Government Surveyor's report. A similar application, mado by Richard Davey, was disposed of in the samo manner. Michael Drenuau applied for 100 acres of land at Nelson Creek. A memorial was put in, signed by moat of the settlers in the locality, objecting to the grant, on tho ground that the land applied for included the only safe refuge for stock in time of floods, and that, during the late heavy flood, the lives of numerous head of cattle were saved by being driven on to the ground applied for. Tho memorial further applied that the land should bo held as commonage. Adjourned for the Surveyor's report. ........ Both Courts were adjourned to #ie'Oth March.
