RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. Friday, 23rd November, 1866. (Before Thomas Windle Parker, Esq., R.M.) CIVIL CASE.
Traill, Roxby & Co. v. C. Colclough.— Claim (reduced to) L20 for goods supplied. Mr Booth appeared for the defence, producing written authority from Mr Colclough. The claim was admitted, but a set-off to the amount of L10 •was put in, for services rendered in connection with a trip to the West Coast. A letter was produced in which plaintiffs stated their willingness to giro L10 "as an acknowledgment," but refusing to pay th© L25 claimed. On the other side, letters were produced, refusing the acceptance of the L10 offered. The plaintiffs accordingly did not credit defendant with that amount, but he now wished to have their claim reduced by that sum. The Bench considered that the plaintiffs' offer of L10 having been rejected, it was no longer in tho option of defendant to accept of it. If he wished still to institute proceedings with regard to Ids West Coast trip, there was the usual course open. Judgmont for plaintiffs for tho amount, and costs.
