Plaintiff alleged that he was engaged by one of defendants to go to Ta'urangaat £4 per week. Plaintiff threw up a situation, and went to Tauranga, but did not get the position. The defence was that plaintiff had not been engaged, also that a letter was written telling him not to go to Tauranga. Plaintiff did not admit receiving the letter, and no copy was put in. His Worship said if a man misled another the one who was misled ought not to suffer. He considered plaintiff had made out hie case.
