TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Lex. —We find it easier to answer your questian this week than we did last. You ask if a horse is hired to B by A, and B returns the horse injured, can A recover ? We must inform you that he cannot. The answer may seem strange, but we will quote you a case which occurred in the Wairarapa—that is the case of Rotermund v. Charlton. In this case plaintiff hired a horse to defendant which was returned broken-kneed. Rotermund sued for the damage done, but Mr St Hill, the then Resident Magistrate, decided that as the horse had been let for a certain sum, which had been paid, Rotermund was not entitled to recover, and a verdict for the defendant was entered.
