RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.—GISBORNE.
Tins Day. [Before M. Price, Esq., R.M.] The case of the Bank of New South Wales v. Hurrey was called, and Mr Ward appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr Brassey for the defendant. The latter gentleman humorously remarked that the public had been sufficiently supplied with the litigant’s troubles, and desired that the Court should permit an adjournment for a fortnight. This was agreed to by the Bench after Mr Ward having consented. The next case was Graham, Pitt & Bennett v. Southern Cross Petroleum Company. Claim, £lO for passage money. Mr Brassey for the plaintiffs’; Mr McDougall for defence. The claim was that the money was owing to the plaintiffs’ for passages to Awanui; and the defence, that the men who had taken passages had not been landed at their destination. Evidence having been taken it was clearly proven that the delay had been occasioned through stress of weather, and after lengthy addresses having been made by counsel on both sides His Worship gave judgment for the full amount claimed with costs £2.
