NOT MANY OF THESE.
TALE OF A BARBER’S SHOP. By Telej?rai*h—Brass Association. AUCKLAND, October 7. A remarkable case was beard hr Mr E. Page, S.AL, in which Henry Thomas Shepherd, sought to recover, with interest, £TOO, alleged to have been lent by him to Austin Harry Paul. Shepherd said he went into the hairdressing saloon where Paul was employed, and showed Paul a £IOO note, saying “You don’t see many of these. ’ Paul asked to see the note, nocketed it, and proceeded to shave his ctistomyr. Witness, knowing Paul well, did not hesitate to leave it with him, but when he later asked for it, Paul declined, claiming it as part payment of witness’ share in a property deal, which deal witness repudiated.
Mr Page, after hearing the evidence, said the whole weight of the evidence was strongly in favour of the defendant’s story, and gave judgment for Paul, with costs.
