RESIDENT MAGISTRATES COURT,—GISBORNE.
(Before J. Booth Esq,, R.M.) TUESDAY. Bsbry *. South Pawnc Pbtromsvm Company. Mr Kenny, who appeared for the defendant company, stated that he had made arrangement that morning with his learned friend Mr Brassey, who appeared for the plaintiff, for an adjournment of the case until November 13th, on account of the absence of a most material witness. Adjourned accordingly. The cause of action in this case is that Mr C. D. Berry seeks to recover the sum of £69 being the amount of contract for conveying certain machinery, Ac. to the Company’s wells, together with £23 10s for extras. The contract was to be performed within a certain time, or in default, a penalty of £1 per day was to be indicted. The plaintiff had exceeded the specified time by 34 days, which he refused to allow for, hence the present action. In the cases of Mogridge v. Bidgood, and Mogridge v. Rees, the amounts were paid into Court.
