INVERCARGILL. October 20.
In the case Boworman Bros. v. W. H. Mathieaon, claim LO 19a, the Bench, consisting of three Justices, gave judgment for defendant, with coals, under the equity and good conscience clause. The defendant alleged that he was induced to sign through the misrepresentations of the canvasser. Another cue is now going on, in which the defence is that the signature to the order is a forgery. Mr Rawson, R.M., non-suited Bowerman's Picturespue Atlas claim against M 'Master, who denied that the signature on the order was his, although that on the patron's list was. Numerous signatures of defendant's, over a period of five years, were produced, but there was no case like that in the order in respect that "James M'Master" w.t? there written, enjoined with his place of residence, " Longbush." The invariable style of defendant waa to write it as one word, the latter being the style of the railway post and directory in use. The Magistrate impounded the order for a month on the application of defendant's counsel, who hinted that a charge of forgery might follow.
