MacGregor in the Supreme Court yesterday by Helen; Truda, a married woman at present living at Auckland, against her husband, Vito Antonio Truda, a jeweller, of Wellington. The plaintiff was represented by Mr, F. W. Schramm, M.P., and the defendant by Mr. W. E. Leicester. The statement of claim alleged that the money was paid into Mr. Truda's account to bo held intact and returned on demand to Mrs. Truda, who was also to receive the interest. The defence ivus a. denial that the money was held in trust by Mr. Truda, who contended that it was given to him as a gift. •■■ •. ' In giving judgment in favour of the plaintiff for the sum of £500, his Honour said that tho evidence of both parties was wholly contradictory, but the onus of proving that the money was a gift was upon the defendant, and this had not been proved. The plaintiff, however, had not proved that there was a contract for the payment of the interest, and thus she was not entitled to recov&r. Costs and . disbursements were awarded according to scale.
