LAW INTELLIGENCE.

We give the remainder of the proceedings before his Honor E. S. ITalswcllon the last Appearance Day, which stress of matter obliged us to omit in our former paper. IN THE SUPREME COURT. Jones v. Wade. —Mr. Hanson appeared for the plaintiff, and Dr. Evans for the defendant. This was a suit in the nature of a bill for an account and discovery to compel the defendant to render an account of the sale of certain merchandize to the alledged value of £19,000, consigned to him by plaintiff, and to disclose all securities which he had received, and transfer them and pay over any balance which might be found due. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff had not stated any grounds why his prayer should be granted. Same v. Same. —This was a suit to compel the specific performance of an agreement entered into between the defendant and plaintiff’s agent for the sale of the lease of a certain piece of ground, with the warehouse, and other erections thereon. The defendant pleaded as before. Wright v. Williams. —Mr. Ilanson appeared for the plaintiff, and Dr. Evans for the defendant. This cause, which w 7 as adjourned on the 20th of last month, was again adjourned on the application of Dr. Evans, who stated he had not received the necessary instructions for the defence. Same v. Munn.— Mr. Hanson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brewer for the defendant. Mr. Brewer stated he had not had time to receive documents from Sydney necessary for the defence of his client, and prayed an adjournment, which was granted. The business of the court having concluded, Mr. Brower moved, on the part of Peter Douglass of Wellington, Shipwright, for an injunction to restrain Richard Davis, otherwise Rei'nana Reweti, from navigating the schooner Maori. His Honor thought the application was unnecessary, the vessel having no register at present. The causes in the County Court will be tried on the 21st, and those in the Supreme, in October. The court sat again yesterday, hut few persons attending, it adjourned to the next appearance day, the 28th instant. Before the Judge left his seat Mr. Hanson moved, upon the affidavit of William Swainson, Esq. of the Hutt, for an injunction to restrain Tiringa Kuri of Kai-warra, an aboriginal native, from cutting down and burning the timber opon the section which he the said William Swainson, Esq. occupies. As no person attended on the part of Tiringa Kuri, his Honor said, he would request Mr. Clarice to attend to-morrow, when he would be prepared to say whether he could grant the application.
