TIMBER ROYALTIES CASE.
A NONSUIT ACCEPTED. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HAMILTON. Friday. A nonsuit was accepted by plaintiffs in the action heard in the Hamilton Supreme Court to-day in connection with the case in which Hereake Erueti and others (Mr. Hallett) sought to recover £404 18s 7d from Robert Palmer and others (Mr. Hampson). The statement of claim set out that the plaintiffs were the owners of a block of land at Oruanui and that defendants agreed to pay them royalty for the timber rights of the block. The amount claimed was for timber royalties and the value of a tramline. The question at issue was whether the contract gave the defendants the right to determine the arrangement made -when nil the accessible timber had been secured. The action will probably be brought on again in another form and a case stated for the Court of Appeal.
