At the Supreme Court a curious case is proceeding, viz., Saunders r. Cabot. Ifc is an action to compel the performance of an agreement. Plaintiffs and two sons of the late James Saunders, alias "Jimmy the needle," a former ferryman at Waitaki, by his wife Wixon (a Maori halfcase), alleged that in 1859, Cabot, a farmer in Timaru, sold town section number 19 to deceased for £30; that he subsequently burned the agreement he had possession of; that the section was now of great value, and it was sought to compel the defendant to carry out the agreement and restore the land with all the profits, rents, etc., since accrued. The pase is propeediug.
