Dispute Over Land Deal
JUDGE RESERVES HIS DECISION. WANGANU/, Aug. 15. Evidence was concluded last evening in the Supremo Court in the ease in which Alfred Emmett, of Palmerston North, proceeded against William Gardiner, of Hamilton, for damages amounting to £7IOO, in lieu of rescission, on the grounds of alleged misrepresentation as to the carrying capacitly of a farm of 1326 acres at Koroniti, 26 miles up the Wanganui river. Appearing for plaintiff -were Messrs. Baldwin and Onglcy (Palmerston North) and for tho defendant, Mr. Mac Diarmi- (Hamilton). As the case -was based on fraud, fraud would havo to be established for the plaintiff to get any relief, said his Honur, when Mr. Mac Diarmid opened his case. Recission was impossible, as the sheep were now partly sold and quite a different marketable proposition and the Palmerston North properties, received in exchange for the Koroniti farm, all sold. No evidence as. to the shortage of sheep had come from the plaintiff, said his Honour. He could not infer that there had been a shortage. Plaintiff had had his opportunity of checking up on tho number. After hearing the evidence for defendant, his Honour reserved his decision.
