Mr Qrmqnd was examined, but no evidence of any importance was elicited. The sole question in dispute was whether Mr Giffard, in breaking the lock of the paddock, acted with a bona fide intention of testing a right, in which case the matter would be beyond the jurisdiction of the Court.—His Worship reserved his decision till to-morrow morning.
