October 18, 1918 The attention of Mr E. HARRISON P.M., was occupied for some hours at the Horsham Police Court on Friday in a case involving a claim for wages, including a set-off which included the price of a mare which, it was alleged, had been sold to the plaintiff. Christopher Baden PARISH, a youthful farm laborer, sought to recover from Herbert Edwin GIDDINGS, farmer of Garup, £11/0/6, balance of money due as wages. There was a dispute as to the rate of pay for portions of service, and a difference as to the amount already paid, whilst the defendant claimed £10/10 for the sale of a mare to plaintiff. The case was adjourned till October 25 to enable further witnesses to be called. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
