COURT OF APPEAL.
CASE FROM NAPIER
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Sept. 17
The Appeal Court is hearing a Napier case in which J. R. Gower and R. L. Gower are appealing against the judgment of Mr Justice Smith, who in November last entered judgment against them as administrators in the estate of Benjamin Gower, deceased. The claim was for the sum of £4400 principal and interest, plaintiffs in that case being T. C. Cornford and W. D. Gillies. Defendants had' argued that the effect of the extension of a mortgage previously granted was to bind them only in their personal capacity, but this was rejected by Mr Justice Smith.
To-day the Appeal Court is hearing an application by appellants for leave to call fresh evidence, and this application is being opposed by respondents.
