SUPREME COURT.

(Before Judge Gillies.) YESTERDAY. Regina v. Hori Mokai. Hori Mokai, for assault on Wi Kingi Hori, was acquitted. THIS DAY.—CIVIL BUSINESS. W. H. Tucker v. Coleman & Clabke. (Trustees in the estate of G. E. Read, deceased) Claim £2,000 for a share of Rawiri Timu’s share in Matawhero C. Block. The following jury were sworn in—C. D. Berry, foreman, R. M. Steggall, G. Burgess, S. Stevenson, Finlayson, G. Brown, J. Walsh, G. Robb, G. Jones, W. Knight, E. P. Joyce, G. Forster. Mr. Rees appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Ward for defendants. The- case was adjourned until the next sittings of the Court in December, on account of the absence of certain witnesses. [McLindon v. Common & Others. Mr. Brassey for the defendants said that this case was heard at the last sittings of this Court here, when an order was made that the accounts should be taken by the Registrar, after which a decree would be made. He would now apply to have the case adjourned to Wellington, to be hoard by the chief Justice there.

Adjourned accordingly. Cooper and Stubbs v. Clarke. This was a claim to have partnership accounts taken. Mr. Kenny and Mr. Nolan for the plaintiffs and Mr. DeLautour for the defendant. Mr. Kenny explained that this was an action to have partnership accounts taken. It appears that a partnership existed between J the plaintiffs and Win. Clarke in regard to ’ certain oil shares. During this partnership Clarke died, and an action was brought

against the present defendant, the wife of Wm. Clarke, to recover certain partnership property, which it was alleged she had in her possession. A decree was made by Chief Justice Prendergast, ordering that an account ot all dealings in the case be taken. The plaintiffs had been unable to file or prove their accounts in consequence of the absence of the defendant, who was in Victoria, and other witnesses who were also in that place and in Christchurch. He would therefore apply, first, that the time of the Registrar’s report re the accounts be extended until next December; second, that his Honor would direct that the affidavits of the defendant and all other witnesses might be taken by the Registrar as evidence upon this enquiry : third, that he decide that the judgment of the Chief Justice really means that the Registrar was to decide those disputed items over £lO each.

After hearing Mr. DeLautour, counsel for the defendant, who agreed with the remarks of Mr. Kenny, his Honor extended the time for the Registrar to send in his report until the Ist of October, and ordered that the evidence of the defendant and the other witnesses, be taken by affidavit. Tccxza v. Wr Pxaoxx.

Claim, £485 7s. Mr. Rees for plaintiff, and Mr, Brassey for defendant. Judgment for the amount claimed, with costs, £4O 7s, G. R. Willes v. Gissob *bd oibzbs. Adjourned until the next sittings ot the Coart in December. [Left sitting.]
