At the Resident Magistrate's Court, lielil in Hamilton, yesterday, before (•■ipt. .Inckson, U.M.. inthecaso Dr. Murcli v Mark Smith, which had been adjourned from last Court day, judgment was given for nlaintilf. as also ill the case Crawford v. J T Tli'Mrtsrt. L'-J v. rielder, ofaiii'i 'i'-CIO-, f"r damages to hor.se md harness, and also tor time lost by same occupied the Court all day. Considerable, evidence was heard, and ll;s Worship reserved judgment till next Court day. This is what "Puff" in the "Wellington "I'ress" says about strikes : "Tom Mann and his friend liurns and other agitators who toil not neither do they spin, who reap where others have sown, have so disorganised the trade nf England that in the E ist End of London alone theie are over a hundred thousand unemployed ! And employers are reducing their hands and narrowing their operations daily ! Y r et tha mischief is still gome: on? Tin railways are trying to complete what the dockers began ? And capitalists are drawin <r in their wealth as fast as they can until s'ifer times come round ' on will hear of more, unemployed in England soon than ever before? Strikes are the very deuce; and it's no easy matter to get things going again when once out of gear! Even in Wellington you see crnvds round the wharf now w'aitins for a job, whe.ro but a fe-.v months ago all were employed. lins is what we always said would happen. Between strikes and "bursting up" we do not care to play the prophet so far as Xew Zealand's futuie is concerned. Especially if we have to submit to be ruled by Jlr Ballancn arid to endurn a dose of his class legislation. Some burdens are too heavy to be borne.
