CROUPIER AGAIN

Further Legal Argument SUPREME COURT MOTION Auckland, Feb. 21.—Further argument concerning the racehorse Croupier was hearu before Mr. Justice jtiei'dman in the Supreme Court tins morning. Since the case was heard last year, the registrar of tue Supreme Court has taken the accounts of the two parties, and this morning Mr. E. W. Indcr, on behalf of Joint and James Patorson, mercflants, of Auckland, moved mat tne judgment of the court should be entered in accordance with the decision of the registrar. Mr. E. 11. 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 £los' for expenses incurred by Corry while attending ra.ee smeetings; .at .which Croupier was cunning. . ! His HonWi' gViVe ''judgment for training fees of £4 a week, making a total of an additional £4O. jtie would not alter the personal expenses of Corry, as awarded by the registrar.
