RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.
Yesterday. (Before J. Fulton, Esq., R.M.) REHEARING. Yesterday afternoon at the gaol, the case of Whitworth v. Currie was again heard. His Worship, Mr Fulton, in opening the proceedings on a previous afternoon said he had consented to a rehearing, although considerable doubts existed in his mind as to the legality of the proceeding, but from the facts before him he thought it better to comply with the application in order that the fullest measure of justice might be done to Dr Currie. He wished it however to ho distinctly understood that it should not form a precedent. He merely consented to the rehearing that any additional evidence might be recorded that might be useful in future proceedings. Several witnesses were examined, but his Worship declined to express any opinion. This Day. Civil Cases. Sly v. Robinson.—A claim for 12s undefended. Verdict for the plaintiff by default. M'Lean and Spalding v. Sturrock,—L2o, the balance of a dishonoured acceptance and for goods supplied. Verdict for the plaintiff by default. Several cases were struck out for nonappearance.
