WARDEN'S COURT.—Bth Aril.

(Before tf. W. tiobinson, Esq., Warden.) Christian Archer v. Douglass and others.— This was a claim for the sum of £llO, being the amount for which it was alleged the plaintiff had sold a eertain interest in a certain water race at Kyeburn. For the defence it was alleged that Christian Archer; not being in possession of a miner's right at the time of the alleged sale, was entirely out of Court; that the name of Christian Archer not being on any of the certificates he was- not in a position to sue; that the property belonged to plaintiff's brother David, in whose name it stood, and who alone was entitled, if anyone, to recover. These points, which were for a nonsuit, being overruled by the Bench, it was then sought to be shown for the defence that there had been no sale or bargain of any kind. After a lengthy hearing of evidence of the most conflicting and contradictory character, the complaint was dismissed with costs of Court 365., and expenses of defendant's witnesses. It. Rons v. A.Brown.—This-was a complaint for interference with complainant's* water right iu .Enterprise Q- illy, in contravention of sec. 1, Regulation 26, G-oldfields Rules and Regulations. Complaint withdrawn. Thursday, Apbil 11.
