LEGAL INQUIRY.

(By A BAHRISTER-AT-LAW.)

T-etters of inquiry will be answered every week in this column. As far as possible they will be dealt with in the order in which they are received, and replies will be inserted with the least possible delay.

E.G.IT. —Yciir ricrht of action was nsr.iin«f A. who-e duty it was to secure a bindiii'_r contract with B and to honour hi< bargain with you. Your riirht of action would ];ip>c after m v years friun the date nf the agreement between A and you. The letter written by 15 would doubtless help A in fori-itu; P and (' to keep the bargain. In deter minins the mennins of a doi-uinent punctuation is larireiy disregarded. G.D.—Yon -will be entitled to damages if you can prove that the article was delivered to thr carrier and did not reach its de<tination. The damages would be the value of the uiissin? article. OYER-AXXlOT'S.—Xeitlirr you nor your husband is eligible for a pen<ion. If your hiwband becomes naturalised you will both be entitled to a pension one year after he has become naturalised. WKI.SHMAX.—You may pay the money into court or to the creditor's solici tors, and the proceedings will be struck out.

VERY AXXlors.—Your mother is (Joins what -die thinks best for you. Her objection i~ one which should carry considerable weitrbt with you. and if you disregard her wishes you may live to find that she was rijrht. You may leave. AXX lOCS. —You may sup for trespass and will set as da mace? an amount that would be equal to the use that has been made of your land. You should write fir>t for payment. UXEMIT.OYKD.—The agreement which you signed will contain all the provisions for payment of interest or other charges. Without seeing the agreement T cannot advise whether the items arc properly chargeable to you. HEALTH.—You can do little more than you have done already. Surely the inspector can see for himself without being put off by untruths. Xext time there is a large accumulation get the inspector out to see it. A.P.A.—You made a bis mistake in ignoring the proceedings. T'nless you can find new grounds for taking action I do not see how you can get free, for you have been put in the wrong. There is the possibility that no opposisition would be made to your proceedings if you yourself applied, but if opposed, I think they would fail.
