When the case Thomas Macdonald Foster and others v. the Trustees of the late Robert Foster was first mentioned in the list of cases set down for hearing at the August sittings of the. Supreme Court in Invercargill the name of Dr C. H. Gordon, Riverton, was given as one of the trustees. In view of the nature of the claim, which was for the payment of £370 alleged to be due and the refund of £BBl 5/-, as well as the removal of the trustees from office and the appointment of other trustees, the trustees have felt that since the publication of the case in the Supreme Court list they have been under suspicion so far as their administration of the estate was concerned. Dr Gordon has felt this particularly, since his name was mentioned. It is not out of place, therefore, to direct attention to the very complete retraction of all allegations made by the plaintiff through his solicitor in the Supreme Court yesterday. The trustees were completely vindicated, the plaintiffs consenting to judgment being entered against them, disclaiming all intention of suggesting that the trustees had been guilty of any impropriety, and unreservedly withdrawing any allegation that may have given the impression that the plaintiffs had any doubt as to the honesty and integrity of the trustees. The case could not have ended in a way more satisfactory to the trustees.
