Mr E. C. Cutten, S.M., was occupied the whole of yesterday afternoon at the Magistrate's Court, with a case in which, as usual, the stories of plaintiff and defendant were diametrically opposed.

The defendant entered a counterclaim for £11 18/, for 58 meals at 1/ each, and nine weeks' board at £1 per week. Plaintiff said he paid for the goods as he thought defendant was going to marry him when she got her divorce. When they fell out, he wanted either his goods returned or the money refunded.
