RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.
Friday, Mat 5. (Before J. Bathgate, E»q., KM.)
Judgment went by default for plaintiffs in the following cases;—Meenan v. Young, -plfi 14s for goods supplied; Fish v. Bell, L 46, balance of account due on contract; Palmer v. Sutton, Ll9 8s Bd, balance of account due for furniture supplied, K M. Marks v. George Lumb.—Claim, L4l 6a Bd, for money lent. Mr Stout appeared for plaintiff; Mr E. Cook for defendant, who claimed to have borrowed only L 7 10s. —His Worship gave judgment for the amount claimed, with costs, remarking that defendant had given his evidence in a very unsatisfactory and contradictory way. It appeared that since May last he had been living upon futurity—borrowing money at the enormous rate of 60 per cent, interest and for security giving plaintiff orders to draw his salary. Defendant had not yet been able to clear his feet; in fact if he had done so his Worship would like to put him in the box and ask him where he got the money from. Spedding v, Carey.—Claim, L2 19s, for tolls.—Mr Stewart appeared for plaintiff; Mr A. Bathgate for defendant. Judgment was reserved.
