(uv TKI.UCRAPU.— OWN CORRESPONDENT. Auckland, Monday. At the Supremo Court, to-day, in tho case William Applcton v. Waitemata County Council, damage to land by a road taken through it, His Honour gave judgment for defendant. He said the plaintiff saw the road works approaching, watching them pass through and cont'uue at the other side of his 'and. He knew well enough that if ho objected, either the work would cease altogether, or it would not have taken so beneficial a change as it did for himself. I { lie .said that the plaintiff waentitled to succeed, it would mean that any person might watch such alteration of deviations of road carried out, a large expenditure mighr be incurred as in the present ease, the person might see all that, and then say, " I haioseon yon go through this land, and now I will sue for an injmiclion." 1 lis judgment, therefore, must be for defendant with costs oil the lower .scale. Reports just to hand by the steamer Richmond, from Samoa, corroborate the news recti red by the mail steamer Mariposa, to the effect that the natives of Samoa generally are not in pressing need of outside assistance in the shape of food. In i very short time they will most likely have crops coming in winch will yield them an abundance of food. J list now they are in no immediate danger of starvation. Tha Native football team play Wellington to-morrow, Taranaki on Wednesday, and arrive at Onehunga on Thursday. Iveogh has stayed behind in Dunedin and ( cannot so north. They will probably bent Wellington. What betting the.re is, which is very little, is 2 to 1 against Auckland for their match.
