SHAREMILKER'S CLAIM
(Special to the "Evening Post.">
PALMERSTON N., This Day
A case of considerable interest to sharemilkers was heard in the Palmerston North Magistrate's Court yesterday when E. H. E. Allen, of Tokomaru, sued W. R. Ross, settler, of Pahiatua, for £32 3s 4d, value of crops and hay left on the farm when he finished working for Ross.
The plaintiff declared that in the Manawatu district the practice was to recognise a sharemilker's interest in crops, hay, and the like when his services ended just as, when he started a new contract, he was obliged to compensate a previous sharemilker for any interest that man might have in crops grown by him. .
Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., non-suited the plaintiff, stating that the only evidence of custom was that if a 'sharemilker paid anything when going in, he would be entitled to something when going out. In this case Allen paid nothing for feed on going in.
