Mr Baddeley advised him to see the plaintiffs’ solicitor and explain the mapteV, blit to the latter he told another tale altogether, asserting that the summons had been serve i on another man named Smith living in the same street. In the box to-day a still further variation was made, and the Magistrate commented very strongly on the contradictory statements regarding suoh conduct Subsequently an offer made by Mr Purnell that his clients would agree to a re-hear-ing provided the money were paid into Court was accepted, and the case was fixed for next Friday week.
