WELLINGTON.
Yesterday. In the Supreme Court in banco to-day the Law Society had filed the affidavits in the case of Mr Ward, a solicitor, to answer certain charges of misconduct. Judgment had been reserved. The Chief Justice and Justice Richmond, while severely reprimanding Mr Ward, discharged the rule without costs. Applications for a new trial re Poole and Campbell was refused. A somewhat singular case came before the Court. It appears that a Mrs Freebody left her husband in England about eight years ago, and with an infant child arrived here. She took to drink, and has for some time been living with a Maori named Winia at the Hutt. Miss Annie Freebody, her daughter, has now arrived from England, with a power of attorney from her father, to claim possession of the child, which Winia refuses to part with. A rule nisi was granted calling on Winia to show cause, returnable on Saturday.
