Milne, £10 and costs £2 4s. ' WILSON V. BAKEE. This was a case in which judgment had been reserved. His Worship said it was a dispute about rent, and hi« sympathies were entirely with plaintiff. It was for rent for a piece of ground which no doubt was valuable when the contract was entered into. The agreement was made out by a gentleman with the best intentions, but it had defeated plaintiff's recovery ;under .present, action. Though his sympathies were with plantiff he was compelled to give his decision against | him. No doubt plaintiff would i recover his moneyjin another action. He must nonsuit plaintiff with £1 lls. costs. ADJOTTBNED CASES. James Clark v. John McCullough, judgment summons, was adjourned for a week. Black Angel Goldmining Company v. Hugh.
