RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

Friday* September 13

(BeforeH. W. Robinson, Esq., R.M.)

Ikterpleadeb.—This was an interpleader summons, issued at .the instance of Constable Rooney, of Hyde, to ascertain -the rightful ownership to certain property taken .by. him as bailiff in. execution of a judgment against John Boyd, of Hyde, and which property was-claimed by Philip Augustus Connolly, as held by him under bill of sale from the said Boyd. The facts of the case are briefly these: Some time back Connolly sued Boyd for the sum of. £SO, and obtained judgment for the amount.claimed with costs. The .original amount of indebtedness of Boyd to Connolly was considerably in excess, of the sum recovered, the amount being Teduccd to £SO to bring the ease within the jurisdiction, of the Court. Upon -judgment being obtained Connolly took from Boyd a bill of sale over, certain cattle and horses, and also a bullock- dray and appliances for the amount of the judgment and other liabilities, amounting in all to £76 odd. Subsequently, John Laverty of Hyde obtained .a judgment against Boyd for a sum of. £8 odd, and immediately took put a distress warrant, and put in Rooney as bailiff, who seized certain horses, together with the dray and. appliances enumerated in the bill of sale to. Connolly. To the sale of the seized goods. Connolly : tested, producing the bill of sale, which the bailiff and execution creditor both refused to recognise. Hence Roqney's present, application to discover to whom the property held by the bailiff belonged,. The evidence was very lengthy, resulting in an order that the bailiff, restore to.the claimant Connolly the property seized, and refund to the claimant ail moneys received by Him (£ls- 125.) as deposits,., and that the execution creditor pay costs of claimant, £6 ss. 4tl, to include £.l Is. for professional costs. : ,
