CLAIM FOR SHEEP. QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP. The attention of his Honour Sir W. i B. Edwards was occupied on Wednes-, day at the Wanganui Supreme Court j with the hearing of an adjourned case concerning a claim arising out of the disastrous fire in the Raetihi-Waima-rino district in March of last year. TBe plaintiffs were a firm of farmers in Raetihi known as Mitchinson Bros, and Bott, The defendants were the \ Otaihape Farmers' Meat and Produce ; Co.. Ltd. ] Mr Blair, of Chapman, Skerrett, j Tripe, and Blair, of Wellington, appeared for the plaintiffs,. i The defendant company was represented by Mr Hutton, of Messrs Marshall, Hutton, and Izard, of Wanganui. The statement of claim alleged that on 18th March, 1918, the plaintiffs sold to the defendant company 272 mixed sheep. The sheep were yarded, but before the sheep could ibe taken away the fire occurred, and swept plaintiff's farm and yards. A considerable numI ber of sheep were destroyed; and of the surviving sheep, 129 were subsequently taken away by defendant's agent, and defendants paid £219 18/ for the sheep. The plaintiffs now claimed £242 4/3 price of the balance of the sheep, 143 in number, which it j was alleged by plaintiffs defendants had agreed to purchase the day before I rho fire.

Mr Hutton applied for a non-suit on the part of the plaintiff, on the ground that there was no proper written con-1 tract of the transaction. The memor- ( andum produced was not in accordance with the evidence, and did not disclose the terms of the contract. The prices quoted in the memorandum were not the same prices as were stated in the evidence of Mr Mitefiinson. The memorandum was not only defective, but it was also erroneous. There.was on proof that the sheep mentioned in the memorandum were *he sheep which passed in the contract. Where sheep were sold at different prices for different classes 5t was necessary to have the specific numbers of each class and the allocated price of each class.,, and in this contract those things were not definitely and specifically stated. After hearing discussion on the matter, his Honour disallowed the nonsuit, and evidence . was taken, after which his Honour reservc3 judgment.
