Friday February 16, 1906 At the sittings of the county court at Horsham on Friday last, the action by the Kowree shire against Mrs Selena FORREST came on for hearing. Proceedings were instituted some time ago by the shire against Mrs FORREST claiming a sum of £112. for arrears of wire netting instalments and a sum of £86/18s for interest on same, and for a decree that these amounts were effectively charged on certain lands and that in default of payment of such amounts with cost the lands in question be sold to satisfy the claims. Mr Eugene SYLVESTER, solicitor of Coleraine, appeared for the plaintiff the shire, and Mr. J. Weldon POWER, instructed by Mr. H. B. CATHCART, appeared for Mrs FORREST; and, acting for his own firm, appeared for Messrs HAGELTHORN and BOLTON, Mr H. A. ROKESKY and Mr A. PHILIP, who had been added as defendants. Mrs FORREST having paid into court £112. 5s, the instalments without interest. His Honour gave verdict for Kowree Shire for rest owing, £8. without cost, commenting on the Shire's delay in collecting arrears. This was explained to be the fault of Mr CUMMINS.
