NAPIER.
Last night.
The Sunbeam schooner, belonging to Auckland, and bound from Poverty Bay to Napier with firewood, capsized this morning opposite the Bluff, and when only a few yards from shore. The crew of two men, who owned the schooner, got on the keel, from which they were taken much exhausted by a boat from the barque Lurline. . The Tug went out to try and get the schooner ashore, but .the sea was rather high, and she could not attach a rop« to the vessel, which is still floating about the harbor, and gradually drifting to sea, the wind being off the land.
All yesterday the Supreme Court was occupied, in hearing the case Price r. Renata. The action was to recover compensation for alleged malicious prosecution. About six months ago Renata, a well-known Maori chief, criminally prosecuted Price and Donnelly for conspiracy to defraud. The.Grand Jury then threw out the bill, and this action was to recover damages. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for one shilling but the Judge refused to certify to the costs. Messrs Bailer and Bees conducted Benata's case.
