Wanganui Supreme Court.
The case Rickelben v. Baker and Cooke, heard on Monday, was an action brought by Mrs Rickelben against Messrs Baker and Cooke, solicitors, of *Palmerston North, to recover damages for negligence, the alleged negligence being that Messrs Baker and Cook concealed from the plaintiff the fact of a certain clause being in the lease from Manson to Codling, by which the said lease might be determined on a fortnight's notice from the lessor. The point of defence was that the plaintiff was thoroughly aware of the proviso in the original lease, and defendant's clerks were called to prove this statement. Mr Barnicoat addressed the jury for the defendants and Mr Jellicoe for the plaintiffs, after which his Honor reviewed the evidence, and, having summed up, the jury retired at 10.10 p.m. to consider the verdict. They returned to Court about an hour later to ask his Honor's ruling on certain points in the issues placed before ,them, and at 12.20 brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed - £ 200. — Herald. __________
