Yesterday.—(Before Captain Jackson, R.M.) Booth and Roberts v. T. Blake. — Judgment summons, £G 15s (id. Mr Dyer for plaintiffs. Charles Roberts deposed that the judgment debtor was a native interpreter and agent, nnd that he was engaged on a casc that was heard at Cambridge in January last, before Chief Judge Macdonald. The summons was served upon him at that time, and about two days after he was paid £12 10s for .-.oine furniture that his agent had sold for him. After a considerable discussion had taken place between Mr Dyer and the K.M., tho latter made an order that the debtor should' pay £1 per month or in default be imprisoned for seven days Merk Parata v. Tuhuhia. —Judgment debt, costs in a former case, £10 Is. Mr Dyer for plaintiff. This case had been adjourned from a former Court, and the R. M. now refused to make an order, as he did not consider the evidence sufficient to pro* e that the debtor was in a position to pay. -The case was therefore struck out. ■R.. W. Dyer v. Wilson Brothers.— Claim £4 14s lOd. Defendants had paid the amount claimed into Court under protest, saying they did not consider they owed it and should bring a cioss action against the. plaintiff. Mr Dyer deposed that tho amount claimed was for work done and disbursements made on behalf of defendants. They had paid half of the original claim, and did not want to pay the balance, as the speculation—a former Cainbridge newspaper--had been a bad one. Judgment for plaintiff, with 3s costs of hearing fee. This was all the business.
