SUPREME COURT
GISBORNE SESSIONS. (Per United Press Association.) GISBORNE, June 25. In the case of Percy W. Bushnell v George H. Puflett and Company at the Supreme Court, the Jury returned a verdict for the full amount claimed, £750. This was a case where Bushnell exchanged sections worth £l3OO for a house owned by G. R. Wyllie on the understanding that Wyllie wanted £2250, whereas he afterwards ascertained that Wyllie only wanted £l5OO, though Bushnell's sections went to a third party, John Cedric Nisbet, who claimed that he gave only £7OO for them. Bushnell suggested that Nisbett was only a dummy to the transfer at the direction of Chas. F. Buscke and Chas. Parker, the former of whom , an undischarged bankrupt, had transacted an exchange between Bushnell and Wyllie.
