This was a horse case in which disputed ownership had arisen after the horse, in question had been sold at public auction by defendant and purchased by plaint ff, who, from the fact of the disputed ownership, was unable io obtain possesion. 'Iho claim was for loss of service of the mare and expenses of living. M r F. Bryce deposed that he was at Halcombe and Sherwill's sale, and remembered a mare being put up and described as a Day Dawn mare, at the time of sale. He purchased her for £7 ss, and rode the mare for two days. Ho received a telegram from Halcombe and Sherwill when he was in Wanganui, as follows :— " Are you willing to give up mare; she was sold in error; you will be recouped." The mare wjg in Feilding. Saw Mr Sherwill on Ks return to Fedding, who told him the circumstances of the mare, and in consequence declined to give up the mare to Arnott, aa he was not satisfied that he would be justified in doing so. Mr Sherwill told him Arnott had sold the mare in mistake. He left the mare at Morphy's stables until the question was settled. Arnott wanted him to take the money back and give up the mare. Ho refused until he knew the owner Arnott offered him £1 as compensation ; but he did not want compensation. He only wanted his money. He could have sold the mare at a profit of £5. This dispute prevented the sale. [As this oase was proceeding when we Went to } r jss, we are unable to publish the verdict. < 'ontinuation of the report will appear in our next issue.}
