DECISION RESERVED
SUPREME COURT CASE. ACTION BY TRUSTEES. Decision was reserved in the case continued in the Supreme Court to-day, in which Charles Joseph Bennett, David Donald (both of Masterton), John Paratene Me Master (of Martinborough) and Frederick Burne Vallance (of Xaliumingi), executors of the will of the late Charles Frederick Valiance, of Masterton, took action against Hedgwick Wilhelmina McDonald claiming £I2OO allegedly made as a loan by the late Mr Valiance to defendant. Mr S. A. Wiren appeared for plaintiffs and Mr A. M. Ongley for defendant. His Honour Mr Justice Blair presided. After evidence had been given by William George Shannon, of Rangitikei Line, counsel addressed the Court.
Mr Ongley submitted that there had been no evidence showing that there had been any intention that the £I2OO was to be repaid. It was, in fact, a gift. 1 Mr Wiren addressed himself extensively to the various points raised in evidence, submitting that the sum was a loan and as such could be made the subject of a call for repayment. His Honour reserved his decision.
