REPLIES IN BRIEF

"Rheumatism" (Duntroon): Regret we cannot help you to obtain the medicine you mention.-— "B.R.C." (Invercargill): The policy is fair enough. — "C. W." (Auckland): (1) Erect fences and a notice that trespassers will be sued. He cannot do anything if a prescriptive right-of-way has been acquired; (2) If the document you signed was not a sufficient note or memorandum to comply with the Statute of Frauds you can probably recover your deposit. Without perusal of the alleged document it is impossible to say. — "R.A.S." (Tirau) : As between A and C there is no priority of contract. A should sue B and serve the necessary notices on him also. If however on the sale by B to C,. C, as is now customary, entered into a direct deed or covenant with A, jthen A can sue either B or G or both. — "A.H.0." (Wellington): You should insist on accounts being furnished and on receiving an explanation of the delay m winding up the estate. — "Worried" (Invercargill) : Write to the Chief Staff Officer, Naval pept., Wellington. — "Troubled" (North Brighton): It does not matter what name you use as long as it, has been assumed m good faith. You should marry under the name you have always been known by. — "S.ectiori" (Nelson): Unless you have consented to the laying of the pipe through your section you should call upon the Council to remove it arid relay it through your neighbors own land. Even if he had a right by deed of grant to carry his pipes through yoii.r section he \yould be bound to sink them to such a depth that your ploughing would not be interfered with.— "W.T.B." (Nelson) : If the party who gave you the timber cutting rights loses, his estate or interest m the land your., rights , will come to an end. — "Anxious" (Levin): It is. possible to have a verbal tenancy for .12 months and you are bound to remain or pay the rent for that period. If, however, you can prove Vthat the tenancy was conditional on the non-

liberation of the fowls before 3 o'clock you would have a defence to the claim for the rent for the 'balance, of the period. If.you have not the use of the grass you cannot prevent the owner from • letting grazing rights. — "Khandallah Tram": Not a legal query. Write to City Engineer or Tramway Manager. — "Argument" (Wellington) ; March 12, 1921, at Basin Reserve. — "F.A.8." (Rotorua): Try Mr. Woolfgang, c/o Begg's Mjusic Stores, Wellington. — "Wager" (Lyttelton): "B" wins because McCornbs actually defeated Lyons. — '.'Truth Reader" (Napier): (1) 20,000; (2) Not yet.
