Mr Kkniuck R.M.. held a court here on the 27th Feb. The following are a few of the principal matters adjudicated on :—: — D. J. Frazer v George Edgecumbe. This was a claim for wages for work done in the Homeward Bound claim. Mr F. A. Whi-taker appeared for defendant, the evidence went to show that the defendant had sued the wrong person. Non-auited with costs. — Parata v Karaka. This was a case of disputed ownership of a, horse which had been exchanged for an interest in a claim. Mr Campbell, solicitor, appeared for Parata. Mr Pucky interpreted. After hearing the evidence, judgement went for the value of the horse, £20, with costs 10s and solicitor's fee £1 Is.— John McSweenie v C. Jenkins. Claim for wages. Jenkins admitted the claim, but had given an order on A. Porter for the amount which had been accepted as payment. Non-suited with costs 11s. ' In the Warden's Court several cases were disposed of and leases granted, so that there need now be no difficulty in forming mining companies to work the ground energetically. In the past, shareholders not feeling sure of their titles, in many cases did not care to do more work than they were actually compelled to. Several amalgamations are on the tapis, and I have no doubt that as soon as they assume a definite shape more than the two batteries already arranged for will be under way. The heavy rain of yesterday and last night has made the roads very bad in places, .especially, the newly-formed portions. A gale was blowing last night. Some of the big panes of glass suffered considerably. The, newly-elected licensing commissioners sit for ,the first time "on Monday, when they will- no doubt be initiated. into their duties. — [Own Correspondent,' 2nd March.] , ' "<...--•''•
