The defendant's two men that went with the hoise and dray, proved that they had brought in five loads of timber, hut bving cro^-exammod by the defendant, admitted that they could not say whether 200, 300, or 400 feet was a load of fmber, and they could not say whether any of these quantities wns brought at ench load or not; that he thought there might be about 300 feet; that be, (he cartel, and his master's son, rode on the top ot the load of timber, and that it was not cuutomary to take passsengers on the top of the lo icU-d cart; could not say whether he had taken other passengers or not, but that he generally took out a back load to Onehunga for Ins master, and at one of the times, took out a back load for Mr. Constable, but if the defendant had been at hand when be delivered the timber he would have made out his day's work for the dofpndant, as he was engaged by bis master by the dvy ; did not know whether his master was engaged by the day to the defendant or not ; that he had not worLed a full day for the defendant, as he was not at haild when he delivered the timber. Mr. Forsyth's evidence w.is taken and showed that he had agreed with the plaintiff to haul tho timber for Is. pei hundred feet, and that when be went out to Onehunga to settle with the plaintiff, that he then consented to take payment by the hundred feet, but when he (the defendant) showed the detailed account of the timber hauled in his book, and when the plaintiff saw that it was not so much as he expected, he then said that be could not stand that. 7'he defendant having no other witness, the evidence was clospd. Judgment giving for the plaintiff for all his £ p. d. claim .. .. .. .. 4 11 6 Defendants set off reduced to the amount admitted by the plaintiff to the sum of 2 2 O Balance due to plaintiff according to this account . . . . . . ..296 Expenses allowed to plaintiff, first judgment 13s. fid. ; second judgment after the Court was over and some talk between the clerk and the plaintiff's agent altered to 10 0 £3 9 6 And in, this way I am obliged to pay £4 2s. 6d. for hauling 1300 feet of timber which any of the capers at Onehunga would have been glad to have done it for at most 16s. 4d. I ask a discerning public how long such jud^m^nts is to continue in Auckland. Is a man to be entitled to charge for a day's work from one man for corning ftom Onehunga with 260 feet of timber to Auckland, and to charge another hire for the same day for a back load to Onehunga. This kind of work has caused me to make up my mind to leave the colony with disgust ; and if there is any more claims against me, I beg that they will be sent in without delay, so that they may be settled some way. 1 Those who owe me, and are honest enough, to call and pay me, I shall be glad to receive it, and those who are not willing to pay mo I believe it will be best to let them alone as I believe that I am entirely outlawed so far as the Magistrates' Court is concerned. And as another proof of what I say is true, I applied for a summons lalely at the Onehunga Court, against the Resident Magistrate there, and wai refused and ordered to go to the Auckland Court House for one ; I immediately went there and applied for one, and was told to go to the Onehunga Court House for one; and it was not until I wrote to the Governor, making my complaint and asking bis advice in the matter, and receiving an answer that if I applied at the Onehunga Court, I would get a summons, and on adplying there again, the amount claimed was paid into the Command was paid over to me. Yours &c, Wm. Forsvth.
