F. G. Moore, County Clerk, stated that a man named Kelliber bad a. oontraot in 1889. Disher attached some wages frooa,the oontraot' under, the Workman's Wages Act, and an, order was made by him for • the pay* went of £ll' 7s 3d to Mr Bunny. The money was not, however, paid, as it was understood the amount bad been paid into Court ana the order nullified. The £ll 7a 8d bad beep paid to Mr Beard or his clerk on behalf of Mr Wagland. • Mr. Bunn> in stating bio case, maintained, that .he bad been' "swindled" out of the money by the sharp practice of W. G. Beard, solicitor. Mr Beard, who wm aoting for one Wagland, obtained a judg* ment against Disher -for £6 10s 6d, Mr Beard then paid into Court by his own cheque the sum of £1.1:78 3d; on the judgment Dinher v Kelliher. What "in God's name" Mt Beard did this for he could not say. Mr Beard had subsequently, received an order for the payment of the £6 10s 3d, and he (Mr Bunny) had receiyed no notice that the application was to' be made. Mad he received notice, this low, cunning, despicable trick of Mr Beard's would not have been sq efleotive. Mr Beard had been* paid' the £ll7s 3d from the County who had thought the judgment in the' case Disher v Kelliber was annulled. He (Mr Bunny) was therefore unable Ito secure the amount of the order given him by Disher, Mr Bunny, croas»exawined by Mr Pownall, said it was from the occurrences which he had stated he bad sued for the balance owing. ' It was through the dishonest trick of Mr
Beard. Mr Pownall stated that on the face ; of what Mr Bunny had Baid on oath he did not consider -there was any. defence.-' Judgment was given for the amount claimed, and costs.
