During the hearing of this case the question arose as to whether or not the service of a summons held good up to 12 o’clock on Saturday night. The Clerk of the Court, Mr G. L.

The objection being waived, the point was, unfortunately, left in statu quo. BROWN V. POPATU. Judgment for plaintiff, with costs, £2 Is WATTH d. RATAPU. Claim £5 18s gd. Judgment for £5 9s sd, with costs. Wednesday, June 13. There was only one case at the Court.
