WESTON V. READ’S TRUSTEES.
Before His Honor Judge Gillies in Auck* land, the case of Weston ©. Coleman and others came on for hearing. W. E. Henketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Whitaker and T Cotter for the defendants. This waa an action for specific relief brought by Alfred Weston, settler of Gisborne, against William Coleman and John Friar Clarke, creditors’ trustees of the late Captain G. E. Read, of Poverty Bay. Evidence having been taken, the following issues were submitted to the jury :—(1) Was the agreement made on the 15th January, 1879, by the plaintiff with J. S. Macfarlane v (trustee of Read'a estate) for the purchase at the price of £3,000 of the Waikanae dairy farm, understood by both sides to be a sale
sf the entire farm a* then occupied by plaintiff, irrespective of acerage, at the eaid price ! (2) or wee the agreement then entered into on the understanding by both or either of the parties that the sale was of 2000 acres of the said farm at £l5 per acre ’—The jury answered the first issue in the affirmative and the second one in the negative. This was, therefore, a verdict for the plaintiff.— Auckland Star*
