CROUPIER AGAIN

FURTHER LEGAL ARGUMENT. SUPREME COURT MOTION. Further argument concerning the racehorse Croupier was heard before Mr Justice Heardman in the Supreme Court this morning (says the Auckland' Star of Tuesday). Since the case was heard last year, the registrar of the Supreme Court has taken the accounts of the two parties, and'this morning Mr E. W. Inder, on behalf of John and James Paterson, merchants, of Auckland, moved that tho judgment of the court should be entered in accordance with the decision of the registrar. Mr E. H. Northcroft, counsel for John Joseph Corry, merchant, of Blenheim, then moved for an order reviewing and varying the taking of accounts by the registrar, on the grounds that the findings of the registrar were against the weight of evidence. The registrar had awarded £3 10s a week for training fees, but this, Mr Northcroft contended, was insufficient. Counsel also claimed £lO5 for expenses incurred by Corry while attending race meetings at which Croupier was running. , His Honor gave judgment for training fees of £4 a week, making a total of an additional £4O. He would not alter the personal expenses of Corry, as awarded by the registrar. • /
