Wilson) sued Christian Anderson for £'l7 Us (Hi, being a half year's rent in respect of tile lease of sections 11, .12, and iSS of Oakura. IMendant admitted , the lease, but made a statement to the Bench that the capabilities of , the farm hail been greatly misreprt>jsentcd to him. He had paid £.IOO down, and had been losing money . over since on the property■. The . S.M. advised the defendant to con- . Kult a solicitor about his troubles, _ and entered judgment with £ll 18s , Gd costs. i —A Land Deal.— 1 J. C. Monteliore (Mr C. if, Weston) v. K. J, Carthew (Mr Malone). litis was a claim for £O7 10s, ho- ' ing half the profits o<n the sale of a " block in I'owderham Street, and £l2 3Us for extra work done in levelling the section. The defendant admitted t the claim, which he paid into Court, - less the sum of £3O los for money , lent, and the only item in dispute f , was the amount of £l2 10s, The .'facts briefly were that defendant pura' chased the block for £IBO, after r making an agreement with Monte-' -jfiore, who was carting material from , [n Harbour Board reserve at lid jwr 1 yard under contract, that the latter l should with this material till up . 'and level the section, on the under-

and level tne section, on tne understanding that the two divided tho profits accruing-from the sale, of the land when improved. Tlie seel ion 'realised £205, thus making 'tho I plaintiff's share of tho profits £67 110s. This amount and the money 'lent were admitted by the parties-, and the -case hinged on whether Carthew had agreed -to pay the plaintilT the extra £l2 10s. His contention ' was that the work had not been I completed iu accordance with the I agreement between them. After a lit of conflicting evidence the S.ll remarked that it was a pity a case of that sort should come into Court and advised the parties to come to 'a settlement. The case was accordingly adjourned lo the next fort- ; nightly sitting.
