A LEGAL FEE.
QUESTION OF REFUND.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, April S.
An unusual claim was heard in the Magistrate's Court before Mr W. G. Kiddell, S.M., to-day, when Patrick Shivnan, Wellington, sued J. R. Lundon, solicitor, Auckland, for the refund of £5 lis, the fee paid by plaintiff to defendant. The action arose-out of a ease gainst plaintiff's son, which was withdrawn in the Magistrate's Court, Auckland. Plaintiff alleged that the fee had been paid for legal services which defendant had never rendered as to work he and his clerk had carried out in connection with the Auckland case.
In giving judgment for defendant, the Magistrate said he had no doubt the claim had been made by plaintiff under a misapprehension, as he resided in Wellington and was therefore unaware of tin' extent of the services rendered in Auckland by defendant on behalf of plaintiff's sou.
