The hearing of the encroachment case in the Warden’s Court, yesterday, of Wilkinson and party v. Doyle and party terminated late in the afternoon, when judgment was given for the complainants for £159 damages, with costs of Court and professional costs. Mr Perkins, on behalf of the defendants, gave notice of appeal. As this case was of more than ordinary interest to the mining coiunmuity, we to-day publish the complainants’ case as fully as our space will allow ; to-

morrow the report of the defence will be given also. The adjourned meeting of the Hospital Committee will be held at the Secretary’s office this evening, at eight o’clock. The concert to liquidate the debt on the Presbytery of the Roman Catholic Church at Goldsborough on Thursday evening next should, judging from the programme, a copy of which we have been favoured with, be an unqualified success, as not alone are there a large number of well-known local vocalists taking part therein, but nearly all the available amatuer warblers of Kumara have kindly given their services on the occasion. For the convenience of persons wishing to be present we are requested to state that a special coach will leave the Kumara Hotel for Goldsborough on the evening of the concert returning the same night. The s.s. Stadt Haarlem cleared outwards from Lyttelton for London on Saturday night. She takes 135 passengers, and has freight valued at £93,000 ; the first stoppage is fixed for St Vincent, where she will take sufficient coal to carry her to London. A Sydney telegram in the Melbourne Argus says ;—“ A considerable amount of correspondence has been published in reference to the late boat race. A letter from Rush in the Echo affirms that lie passed tlie flag boat first, but the man in the boat did not dip his flag till Laycock shot past, at which time Rush hid stopped rowing. He also says that a number of persons stationed on both sides of the river in a line with the flag affirm positivly that Rush won, and that Mr Driver*, being behind, was unable to judge who finished first. Rush says he is so dissatisfied with the decision that he intends to retire altogether from aquatic circles.”
