JUDGMENT GIVEN.
COSTS ON CLAIM. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Nov. 22. A supplementary judgment concerning a claim by the Northern New Zealand District of the Hibernian Australian Catholic Benefit Society against the New Zealand District was given by Mr Justice Ostler today. Plaintiffs asked for judgment for £5452 Is, with interest, and an order for vesting in them £B4OO 4s sd. Mr Justice Ostler gave judgment in favour of plaintiffs, on September 26, but suggested that, instead of judgment being entered, the parties should try to come to an amicable settlement. The supplementary judgment to-day states that, the parties having failed to agree on the question of costs of the action, it fell to him to determine the question. He gave judgment for plaintiffs for costs as on a claim for £SOOO, with witnesses’ expenses and disbursements. He allowed three guineas for an affidavit of discovery and three guineas for an inspection of documents. As plaintiffs and their solicitor were domiciled in Auckland and the case had to be heard in Wellington, he allowed agency charges incurred, but not to a greater amount than £lO.
