POSSESSION OF FURNITURE.

QUESTION OF DELIVERY. JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT. A claim for possession of certain, furniture or in the alternative £38 10/; the value of the furniture, and £15 damages, was brought by William Patrick Lennox (Mr. Anderson) against Leonard Coakley, Ltd (Mr. Lennard), before Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court this morning. The plaintiff stated that he purchased furniture valued at £38 from the defendant's auction rooms. According to the bill of sale defendant should have delivered the goods to the plaintiff. That had not been done. The defence was that the furniture -was at the auction rooms and tbe only question was whether plaintiff should take it away or whether defendant should deliver it. The latter denied obligation, and contended that if pfaintiff wanted the furniture he could get it. Tho magistrate held that it was not a condition that the furniture should have been delivered from the mart. The furniture was at the auction rooms and had not suffered damage. Judgment would be for defendant with costs.
