A DEAL IN WHISKY.
CLAIM AND COUNTER-CLAIM.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Tuesday. . Mr. Justice Button and a special jury of 12 commenced the hearing to-day of an action in which Fergusson and Co., whisky distillers, Glasgow, chum from Lionel Caselberg and Co., merchants, Wellington, a sum of £2422 for whisky allegedly supplied, and for breach of agreement to take a given quantity of whisky per annum. Defendants counter-claimed for £2260. The statement of claim and counter-claim covered a wide field of negotiations and transactions, arid voluminous evidence taken on commission was read. «•'>*
When the Court adjourned His Honor suggested that the case was one which might go to arbitration or be heard before a judge alone, as it was hardly likely that a jury could follow such a multiplicity of detail.
