RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.
Wednesday, May 17. \ (Before J. Bathgate, Esq., R.M.)
Judgment went for plaintiffs by default in the following cases:—C. Cooper v. A. 6. Corfield, LlO, cash lent; 6. Jacobs r. Jas. Blackstock, L 4 10s, cash lent and board and lodging ; Oliver and Ulph v. Simmonds and Bowkett, Ll3 8s lOd, for goods supplied ; same v. Charles Miller, LlO 16s 9d, for goods supplied. Oliver and Ulph v. William Pearce.— Claim, L9,on a fraud summons. Defendant pleaded that he was unable to pay * the amount.—His Worship ordered him to pay the claim by instalments of L2 per month; in default, fourteen days’ imprisonment. Andrew v. Guthrie and others.—Claim, L 29 4s 6d, for damage done to certain goods shipped to plaintiff in the ketch Catlin. In this case his Worship delivered judgment, saying that the evidence was contradictory. However, it was not likely that plaintiff and the witness Miller would concoct such a conversation as was stated in evidence. The damage done to the goods was evidently due to the neglect of the master of the ketch, and the amount claimed was not disputed. Judgment was given for plaintiff for the sum claimed, with costs.
