PATEA DISTRICT COURT.
Wednesday, June 6. (Before His Honor Judge Kenny.)
Civil Case.— The only case brought before the Court was that of F. J. Steuart v. Thomas Jenkins ; claim, £1,31 13s 3d, on promissory note. Mr Hamerton appeared for the plaintiff, and explained the circumstances of the case. —F. J. Steuart deposed—l am a farmer residing near Hawera. During last year I had transactions with the defendant. I obtained from him a promissory note for the amount of claim (£13113s 3d). The one produced is the same. I have not received any part of the bill. —Mr Hamerton contended that the only course to adopt under the circumstances, as defendant did not appear, was to give judgment for the plaintiff.—His Honor, after a little consideration, gave judgment for the amount of claim, with interest added, viz., £162 2s, and £8 costs.
