R. M. COURT, CLYDE.

Tuesday, August 7th, 1883. . (Before Major Keddell, R.M.) j T. H. Dunn v. The Vincent County Council. —This was a suit for an alleeeil bleach of the 138'h clause of the Counties Act, 1886, in so far as refusing to show the informant a certain book which he alleged to be the < original cash book of the County. M r F. J. Wilson appeared for the defence. Mr Dunn conducted his own case, and said : 1 was brought up as an architect and civil eng heeer. I know the original cash ■ bo"k of the County [t contains information I require. On the 19th June I posted a notice to the defendant th it I wanted a sight of the book. On the 28 r .h of .June I went to the office of the Vincent County, and asked the Clerk to allow me to look at the “ original cash book ” of the County that had b' en kept since the starting of the County. He produced a hook which I said was not the one I required, and wiuld not produce the one I wanted. As a ratepayer 1 went to the office an 4 donundei it as' a right. I told him T had every reason to bed ve it was in the office, if it hat not gone up the chimney. I i e isve I to d him that Iknew it eas in the office in December, 1882, or January, 1883. By Mr Wilson ; I have no witnesses. Mr Wi’am said he would apply for a nonsuit on one of the many grounds he hj id to go upon, viz., that while the info-mvit suss pects the existence of the hook ha refers to. he is nnahle to prove its existence. Hence his complaint is still a suspicion only. His Worship, after reviewing the evinsnce. dismissed the information with the customary profe-sional costs. Mr S Tu-ton appde I fir s protection or ler und-r the Married Womans Protec tion Act 1878, on behalf of Mrs Ellen Folder as against her husband and his credit rs from the date of his desertion of her in 1865 Ellen For ler, being sworn, deposed that her husband.
