(Mr. Hodgson) sued Te Roihe Pakira, of Waimaua (Mr. Murray) for £25 damages for trespass of defendant’s bull and pigs on plaintiff’s farm at Waimana.

He submitted that plaintiffs' fences were not legal fences. Judgment was given for the plaintiffs for the full amount claimed,, £25, and costs £9 10s 6d.
