On arriving at Wanganui, defendant, Edith Kerne, stayed with plaintiff for about one week, leaving without notice at midnight. Plaintiff stated that an agreement was entered into oetween the parties that defendant should remain in plaintiff's service for two years, and claimed refund of expenses. Itefendant denied signing tho agreement, and explained her conduct in leaving by saying that she could not stand it any longer. She- assorted that she was not well treated. Mr "Kerr, S.M., gave judgment for plaintiff for £5 17s 2d. with £1 Gscosts.
