CROUPIER AGAIN.

nTJRTHER LEGAL ARGUMENT.

SUPREME COURT MOTION".

Further argument concerning the racehorse Croupier was heard before Mr. Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court this morning. Since the case was heard last year, the Registrar of the Supreme Court has taken the accounts of the two parties, and this morning Mr. E. W. Inder, on behalf of John and James Paterson, merchants, of Auckland, moved that the judfpient of the Court should ,be entered in accordance with the decision of the registrar. Mr. E. H. Norther oft counsel for John Joseph Corry, merchant, of Blenheim, then moved for an order reviewing and varying the taking of accounts by the registrar, on the grounds that the findings of the registrar were against the weight of evidence. The registrar had awarded £3 10/ a week for training fees, but this, Mr. Northcroft contended, was insufficient. Counsel also claimed £105 for expenses incurred by Corry while attending race meetings at which Croupier was running.

Hie Honor gave judgment for training fees of £4 a week, making a total of an additional £40. He would not alter the personal expenses of Corry, as awarded by the registrar.
