When the case in which Francis Gray, horse-trainer, of Trentham, claimed £3 10/- from Sir Kenneth Douglas, Bt., of Wellington, for breaking in two horses, was called in the Magistrate’s Court at Wellington, there was no appearance of plaintiff and the proceedings were struck out. A counter-claim in which Sir Kennth sued Gray for £lO 11/6, representing the value of a horse which had died while being broken in, was successful, judgment being given for the full amount, with costs. It was alleged that Gray negligently and unskilfully handled and managed the horse, with the result it was strangled. Fear of Food Taxes. Mr Banfield, in a speech following the poll at Wednesbury, which seat he won yesterday for Labour, declared that there was no doubt a tremendous fillip had been given to Labour by the people’s fear that the Ottawa Conference was going to result in the taxation of wheat and meat.
