CIVIL CASES.

In the following cases judgment was given for plaintiffs by default: — Lang v. J. McDonald, £1 7s Id; Weston v. J. Browley, £9 10s Od ; Berry & Co. v. J. W. Stewart, £26; Wirimu Kupe v. Mary Peters, £20 5s lOd.

In the case Revell v. Styles, in which judgment was given at last week's sitting for £3, interest and costs, his Worship held over his decision as to what rate of interest he would allow. Yesterday morning his Worship said he had looked into the matter and had found . nothing in the Magistrates Act or the procedure of the Court to guide him, so he had to fall back on the Higher Court. As the Court of Appeal had fixed the rate at 6 per cent, he would make a similar allowance.
