HBH 1890 March 14 Court A curious case came before Captain PREECE, in his capacity as Trust Commissioner yesterday. About twelve years ago, in a civil action CANNING v Henare MATUA, a claim to recover £1400, judgment was given for plaintiff with costs. The judgment was not enforced owing to various causes, one of which was alleged by plaintiffs yesterday to be the death of the original plaintiff. The debt, with costs and expenses, interest, &c., has now grown to over £2000, and the executors in CANNING's estate applied for an order of the Court to compel Henare MATUA to sell sufficient of his land to pay the amount of the judgment. The defence was that plaintiff, soon after getting judgment, agreed with Henare MATUA never to enforce it. After hearing evidence His Worship reserved judgment. Donald CAMPBELL, a 'bus driver,' was charged at the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, with plying for hire with his stage carriage on a route other than that for which the vehicle was licensed. Joseph COSGROVE, a cabdriver, lodged information. Mr LASCELLES said that technically his client was guilty, but only technically, and he would plead not guilty. The affair was simply a fight between the cabmen of NAPIER and the "Bus Company." Captain BOWER town clerk, produced the butt of defendant's license. His Worship upheld Mr LASCELLES' contentions, and dismissed the case.
