Hav, being the value of a suite of exclusive design supplied to defendant (for whom Mr A. M. Ongley appeared). Mr E. G. Rowe (counsel for plaintiff's) suggested that, the only matter for the Court to decide was the value of the suite. Prior to the delivery of the furniture there had been no agreement as to price, and when delivery was effected defendant seemed to be surprised nt the cost and asked plaintiffs to take it back. Because the suite was of an exclusive design, with very little prospect of resale, plaintiffs did not desire to take it back. Subsequently, when an opportunity for its disposal arose plaintiffs communicated with defendant, who declined to have anything further to do with the,, matter. Later, said Mr Rowe, plaintiffs sought to refer the matter to arbitration. but this was declined. After evidence had been heard the parties conferred, when plaintiff agreed to accept £75, defendant to pay legal costs and disbursements according to scale.
