Worth Knowing.
[Wanganni Chronicle.] In cases where money has been paid into Court by the defendant, and the plaintiff has taken it out, it has hitherto Hen the general belief that the matter was ended, and that the plaintiff had abandoned any further claim. This impression, however, is quite erroneous, as was clearly proved by a case heard yesterday. A defendant paid a certain sum into Court, and finding that the plaintiffs solicitor drew it out, concluded that the trouble was all over, and cleared away to the West Coast of the other island. In his absence, the case was called on yesterday, evidence taken, and judgment given for a considerable amount beyond that paid into Court. As, however, the Clerk (who seemed to have shared the general delusion on the subject) had told the defendant that the withdrawal of the money after notice was given to the plaintiff, had ended the matter, His Worship intimated that if the defendant, on his return from the West Coast, wished for a rehearing of the case, he could have it.
