Supreme Court CLAIM FOR £7807

Judgment For Defendants

Judgment for Peter Thomas Mahon and Jack McKenzie, solicitors formerly in partnership under the name of Raymond, Donnelly, Mahon, and McKenzie, has been entered by Mr Justice Wilson in the recent action against them by Horace Stanley Papps, director of a property company, who sought iliffl damages.

Mahon and McKenzie have also been awarded the costs of the trial—exceeding £3OO —against which the £l6O damages allowed Papps will be set off.

In his reserved decision, his Honour noted the claim of the defendants that they were entitled to judgment on the whole action, and not merely on those causes of action on which they were successful, in that the plaintiff had recovered in damages less than the amount paid by them into court. “In this, I think they are in the right,” his Honour said. Decrees Nisi Granted Decrees nisi in divorce, on the grounds stated, were granted by Mr Justice Macarthur in the Supreme Court yesterday on the following petitions:— Adultery.—Marilyn Edith Guyan (Mr J. F. Burn) v. Alexander Marshall Guyan (Mr J. W. Dalmer) and Meg Sheffield (Mr Dalmer). Three Years’ Separation.— Stuart Maxwell Cameron (Mr W. G. P. Cuningham) v. Georgina May Cameron (Mr S. G.
