After many difficulties Mr John

Chambersrims had freezing machinery constructed on his new principle, and recent mail advices state that the engines were to be tested in London this month. Mr Chambers claims that his system will require only onesixth of the coal now used, and that it will reduce the cost of sending frozen meat Home, by one penny a pound. Mr Finn, lawyer, has brought an action for damages against a servant girl and her young man, who played high jinks in his drawing room while he was away. Plautiff obtained 5s damages and costs. The action was brought only as a deterrent to a common practice. New Plymouth, 28. Mr Donkin, C.E., who, about a month ago, went with Mr Eawson, and a party of surveyors to point out a route for a railway line through the broken country inland towards Tekuiti, has succeeded, having met Mr Carkeek's party coming through from the north. Mr Donkin 's mission has terminated, and he returned yesterday. The Herald says that a good route has been discovered through the line of country indicated by Mr Donkin, which opens up magnificient fertile valleys, and good country for agricultural and pastoral purposes, far j beyond all expectations. The route ! folloAVS the upper Tongarakau for a few miles, and it will develop a splendid coal field, several large seams ,of coal having been already cut through. It adds that the route discovered does not present more than the ordinary difficulties in railway making, which is in every respect satisfactory. By the Hauroto 65 horses have been shipped for Sydney, and by the Wakatipu next trip 12 more will be despatched . Invercargill, 29. The lad M'Curdy, who was kicked by a horse a week ago, died to-day. Wellington, 29. It is announced that the Premier will probably address his Egmont constituents next week, and that he will subsequently deliver a political address in Wellington. The Government are sending Home by the outgoing 'mail nominations for 164 assisted emigrants. Tin number is smaller than usual, but this is accounted for by the fact that since the I 12th inst. , no nominations have been ! received except for domestic servants. ' An appeal case of very great importance was commenced in the banco Court yesterday afternoon. The appellant, who was represented by Mr Gully, was Mr Wilberfoss, (of the firm of Wilberfoss and Mill ward) and the respondents were the Try Again Gold Mining Company, Terawhiti. Mr Wilberfoss was a shareholder in the Compauy, and made default for more than twenty-one days in the payment of a call. Another call was made and the company then sued appellant for its recovery, obtaining judgment against him in the KM. Court. Mr Gully argued yesterday that the forfeiture clauses of the Act relieved the appellant from any liability incurred subsequent to the period when the shares were declared forfeited. At this stage of the argument the case was adjourned until Wednesday next. ; JVi'r Travers appears on the other side, j The point is one of considerable importance to persons who have invested ' money in Terawhiti stock, and should it be decided in the appellant's favor, there can be little doubt that several of the mining companies in that | district will have to be wound up.
