RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.
Friday, September 29. (Before J. Bathgate, Esq., R.M.)
Judgment went for plaintiffs, by default, in the following cases : Pritchard v. Fletcher, claim L 7 10s, for goods supplied; Sargood, Son, and Ewen v. J. Murdoch, L7O 5s 3d, for goods supplied. Bing, Harris, and Co. v. J. Moylan.— Claim L2O 9s 9d, for goods supplied. Defendant admitted the deb;, and judgment was given for plaintiffs for the amount claimed, with costs.
Callendar v. Argyle.—Claim L2O, the value of a stack of hay alleged to be hoM to defendant. In this case his Worship delivered judgment, saying, after summing up the evidence, that although plaintiff's manner of giving his evidence was sufficient to shake confidence, still the probability was against any warranty having been given by him. The burden lay on the defendant to prove the warranty, and under the circumstances he had failed to do so. It was apparently a hard case for defendant, but there was no alternative but to decide against him. Judgment would be given for plaintiff for the amount claimed, with costs. Webb v. Philips.—Claim for work done. This cas-i wob partly heard »n Monday last, and this morning further evidence was given. [Left sitting.]
