This was an action by plaintiff for work and labour done when the.paper was removed to Hamilton in January last. A miserable attempt was made by defendant (formerly of the Waikato Times, but now occupying a position on J. S. Macfarlane's paper somewhere in Auckland) to set up a defence on the ground of exorbitant charges, but both the witnesses called for the defence, experienced men, valued the work at higher prices than plaintiff had charged, excepting one item, which was a matter of opinion. Plaintiff has waited three months, and never got a penny, and now had to go to Court.

Judgment for plaintiff, £16 8s 2d (full amount) and costs.

Mr WJiitaker appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Hay for the defence.
