CLAIM FOR GOODS SUPPLIED. George Biddick, of Grey Lynn, a timber worker (Mr. Endean) sued Charles Mooney (Mr. Williamson) for goods supplied in 1909 at Awhitu. The defendant contended that he was responsible for only part of the goods, some of them, being supplied for one Condon then in his employ. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for the amount of the claim, £11 15s lOd, and costs. His Worship remarked that the defendant had a right to take an action for contribution against Condon if be thought he had grounds for such action. HIRE OF A HALL. John Joseph Coady and George Calder (Mr. Hume), moving picture proprietors, running a travelling picture show, claimed £10 damages and £5 special damages, arising out of an alleged breach of contract by Mrs. Connelly (Mr. Fallon) the proprietress of the Kaeo Hall. The evidence showed that the defendant agreed to lease her hall for the* night of December 7, to the plaintiffs, but that when the plaintiffs arrived the hall was already let. This tho plaintiffs alleged was the occasion of loss to them. The defence was that in consideration of tho defendant letting the hall free of charge to the plaintiffs in conjunction with the Kaeo Sports Committee for the night of December 30, the plaintiffs agreed to forego their claim. His Worship stated that the evidence did not support this plea, and awarded the plaintiffs £10 damages, and costs.
