The case of the Bank of New Zealand v. E. 0. Fraßer was heard at the Supreme Court to-day, before Mr Justice Gillies and a jury. This was an action brought by the bank against the defendant, a farmer at Tauranga, to recover £560 5s 6d, amount due under a guarantee signed by defendant and four others who were members of the Tauranga Jockey Club. The guarantee having been given to secure advances made by the bank to the Club, the defendant admitted signing the guarantee, but set up a defence that it had been agreed that he was not to be liable upon the document until it had been signed by certain other members, who, however, did not apply their signatures. The jnry returned a verdict for defendant, and costs were allowed on the highest scale.
