THE SHAW CASES.
TIMAEU, June 19. Mr Justice Sim delivered judgment today in two civil cases which were heard a lew days ago, arising out of the muddle made by Shaw, solicitor. In one case a defendant refused to pay the plaintiff for a house unless he was given credit for £l4O which was paid to Shaw. The Judo-e found that the £l4O had not been paid° in terms of tire contract, and that the defendant was not entitled to_ credit. Judgment was given for the plaintiff, with interest from December, 1912. In the second case the plaintiff claimed release of mortgage for £3OO, which ho had paid to Shaw. The Judge found that Shaw had received the money, but in neglect of the mortgagee’s rights the mortgage deed was in the defendant’s possession, and he was never asked to discharge it or told that the principal had been paid. Judgment was given for the mortgagee, with costs.
