The Napier could not take away the produce fast enough. I have known Mr Redwood to send parcels of barley by the railway to catoh the Sydney market. William Donslin deposed : , I valued the Wither Run some time ago' at 30s an aore. The land taken by the railway is worth L 378, and injury to the other parts of Mr Redwood's property : Sever ance of property, L60O; severance from natural water supply, L 50 0; loss of road frontage, LSO; total, L 1.525. Mr Red wood's farm is 1,428 aores m extent. It was valued at L9 an acre, and the annual value L 620. The Wither Run I valued at 30s an acre, as a whole. Francis Craig, artesiau well sinker, stated : I sank the artesian well on Mr Redwood's land. The pipes were driven 08 feet deep. The water comes from a depth of 34 and 36 feet. There is a very good supply. I mod only 1J inch testing pipe. The same water is obtained at the foot of the hills all over the Valley. There is plenty just the same m use at Tua Marina. lam sure the water comes from a true gravel bed, because it washed out a number of water-worn stones. Tho water is very good, and I have made excellent tea with it. Tho rise and fall of the tide affect tho well. This is a good sign. I cauld get water anywhere m the vicinity,

Cross-examined by Mr Rogers : I was told Mr Green could not get water. I t could not be sure of getting wells m * other places along the line. The expense t of putting down a good sized well on the t property would be from L2O to L 25. i James Godfrey Warner, manager for 1 the Vernon extension, deposed ; I was encamped on Mr Redwood's property ( from February 17th to April 13th. At that time we sunk a small-well at the , camp sft doep. We got water within a 1 1 f oot from the surface, and had water all I ' the time we were there. We used this water for cooking purposes, but nob for drinking.
