A civil action arising out of a somewhat unusual incident occupied the. attention of Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court to-day. David Pilmer, billiard saloon proprietor, of Lambton-quay, claimed from Triester and Co., hat manufacturers, the sum of £13 ss, being the cost of a billiard table cloth (£ll 15s) and 30s for loss of takings. Plaintiff and defendants are tenants in the same building, the defendant occupying the floor above plaintiffs billiard room. On the afternoon of sth June some water spilt on defendant's floor came through and damaged the cloth of the billiard table. Plaintiff immediately went upstairs and called attention to the damage. Triester said he could not help it, and that the girl who had upset the water was responsible. The defence was that if proper and reasonable steps had been taken by plaintiff at the time the water came through it would riot have been necessary to obtain a new cloth. The Magistrate gave judgment for plaintiff for £10, with £2 10s costs. Mr. H. F. O'Leary appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. P. Jackson for the defendant.
