of Poole, appeared for plaintiff.—James Borden, foreman
at the M'arettani Cement Works, said it was hi. duty to

On the evening of the 2:th of April, after locking up the
works he went to the stables awl gave orders for the
following day. The horsekeepo then called his attention
to one of the horses, which sea., bare-fonted. lie pursued
enquiries with the horse keeper. aul in consequence of
what he learned he dischargel all the defendants. He
not aware till the irth of April that the ilefendonts
hat hi-en doing work for other 'wool., ma he had not given
then, neentission to do so.--George Boat, horsekeeper at
the works, said he heard something about the defendants
having carted manure on the 17th ed April, which put him
in his guard. Ile iireut to the stables about three o'clock
on the morning of the 18th, and baited and harnessed the
horses,. Guy came about 20 minutes to six, and started at
six for the quarries without the other defendants, as they
were late. Lucas and Bartlett afterwards came, and they
both started with their horse; by about half-past six. Ile
told each of the defendants that their day's work was
three jounnies to the quarriu. Ile rode in with the
defendant Locas, and at Levi Sunways' house he saw
Joseph Orchard waiting with a prong or two on his
shoulder. Guy, who was just aheel. etoppial,. and he
asked him what he was going to Guy said '• Take up

any that morning. The three courts then went on, and at
Joseph Orchard's there wan one load of manure, which he
permitted Guy to take up, at the same time telling him,
in the presence of the other men, that be we; to take me
no more dung. On the Dith he gave orders for the same
toorniee, and then acconnenied Frederick Andrews.
another of the carters, and saw Guy coming out of Levi
Samways' premis.as with a load of dung. LUGO was
scraping up the remains of the dung. and Bartlett had a
load of ashes, lie said to Guy "I thoueht I told you
chaps not to pull away more dung." to . which he replied
"That will finish Semarang' bit" Ile told the men to
mind and let that finish it, as if it came to the governor's
ears it would make. noise for them all—they for pulling
it, and he for not saying anything sterna it. tin the morn-
of the Het he again told lAm' not to pull any more dung,
and he said he did not want to pull any more, and he
bad told Guy no. On the 22nd he discovered by the tracks
of the horses that two loads of dung had been pulled by
the defendant; for Allort SZTIMSYS, and two for John
Green. Their horses were shod in a peculiar way,
and he could swear to the tracks. Guy did not
deny pulling these loads, and said they would have
a drop of drink together, but he said he did not
want it. Guy raid they hot • shilling a load
for pulling the manure. The defendants hat frequently
complained that the three journies to the quarries daily
was too much for the homes. On the rth he saw by the
tracks that defendants had carted two louis for John
Green and a load for Joseph Orchard. The defendants
;erne in an hour and • half Ide that night, with their
horses driven to death. When he complained to them
Bartlett said he should do as he liked with the horses
whilst he had them. The horses had symptoms of being
overworked, and one of them went off his feed. A big
grey horse was barefooted, the off front shoe being off.
Ile pointed thin out to the foretnan.—Mr. S. litirriun,
the plaintiff. said he had a number of horses, and some of
them were driven by the defendants. They had no
authority from him to cart dung. The defendants
freqqently complained of the three journiee to the
wineries daily being too much for the horses, hot he knew
that it was the men 'ranted leen to do. He believed the
horses had bees damaged seriously by the defendants
overworking them. He aid not wish tope°. for vindictive
damages ; all he wanted was to put an end to such kind of
things.-- The defendant, (illy, wee sworn at his own request
and seid Levi nainwaym asked buret° haul some dun- lint
he would not ronsent toils so till he had conaultearlient
(the horsekeeperl. fleet tobl him to pull the dung by all
weans, as it was the only file Sn's he had of earning a six-
pence. They (the defendants) had some drink, which
Best partook of. On the Pith of April he said he should
not carry any dung that day. but Best told him he was to
do no. and went to Joseph Orchard's and helped load it
In crowexamination by Mr. Trevanion, Guy admitted that
they hauled eixteen loads of manure, and hail a shilling •
load for doing no. They hauled five loads for L. Samwar,
f-ir for John Green, three for Joseph Orchard. two for
William flunways. and two for Albert Seniways. The

Captain Palin was still Chief Constable of 'MancheAer.
—The witness was asked if he had anything to add to
what he had stated.--He replied that he wished to
say that there had been unfounded reports against his
character, to which a number of clergymen in Man-
chester had committed themselves, and he was
determined to prove that he was only terrible to the
tellers of it. He knew several clergymen in 'Nfanchee-
ter had been driven mad by lies. One clergymen had
cut his throat in consequence, and his boweLs protruded.
and all because a lie had been told of him. Another
man had been driven out of Manchester for the same
reason; and as a lie had been told of him, he (witness)
was determined to show that the lie succeeded, as was
shown by the fact that the moment he had seized on
the lie and held it up before the public those who had
uttered it had said he was mad, and had endeavoured
to get him confined in a lunatice asylum.—The witness
then withdrew.

HOLLOWAY'S Orernrcr AND PILL& —Disorder of the
Throat and Chest.—Whoever has once made trial of these
invaluable remedies can truthfully bear testimony to
their astonishing efficacy, their curative and perservative
powers against the many maladies of winter. The Oint-
ment. rubbed on the chest, acts most beneficially in
arresting inflammation. irritation, congestion, and all
pectoral complaints. In ul,eratell sore throat, diptheria.
mumps, quinsey, and similar ailments, the Ointment
should be well rubbed upon the throat and summit of
the chest at leant twice a day, while the l'ills are taken
internally, according to the plainly printed directions.
Holloway s remedies constitute in themselves a perfect
safeguard against most diseases dependent upon changeable
or inclement weather. They counteract the sources of
