“ HARD ROW TO HOE ”
COUNTER-CLAIM IN POSSESSION CASE. “If you think that the court can set aside the sale by the registrar, you will have a hard row to hoe. That is ail I have to say,” declared Sir Robert Stout, Chief Justice, to counsel in the Supreme Court yesterday. The matter before His Honour was a claim for possession of land and mesne profits. The plaintiff, a Wellington financier named Thomas Richardson, was represented by Mr W. Perry, while Mr O. C. Mazengarb appeared on behalf of Mre Jean Gibson Coulter, the defendant. Mr Perry said his client had extended every leniency possible towards Mrs Coulter, but they now desired some finality in the matter. _ After some discussion, the Chief Justice made an order for possession by consent within on© month, with costs according to scale. The question of a counter-claim was adjourned until the February civil sittings, and the costs in that connection were reserved.
