CLAIM FOR SHARE IN £4000 LOTTERY PRIZE
(F.&..) WELLINGTON, This Day. The hearing of a claim for a half share in a £4OOO prize in an overseas lottery in which the plaintiff alleged he had a half-share under a standing arrangement of sharing tickets began in the Supreme Court today before Mr Justice Gresson. The plaintiff is Edward Alexander Foreman, a theatre manager of Lower Hutt, and the defendant is Ada Ann Jones, a confectioner, of Lower Hutt. Counsel for plaintiff said the claim was founded on the joint ownership of an overseas lottery ticket. Foreman claimed he was entitled to an equal share in the ticket and that the ticket, coming into the hands of Mrs Jones, was presented by her or her agents, and she received the whole of the proceeds and denied the plaintiff’s right to any portion of the proceeds. (The hearing is proceeding).
