This Day. (Before E. R. Good and A. Todd, Esqs.) A Photogbaphic Case. — S. W. Turpin claimed the sum of £1 Is from A. Gadd, on the ground of the non-fulfilment of a contract to supply him with two photographic enlargements on opal. Mr Cathro for plaintiff. Defendant did not appear. Plaintiff stated that defendant's canvassing agent obtained an order from him about five months ago for a dozen cabinet photographs and an enlargement on opal. Subsequently gave him a second order for an opal enlargement from a photograph. Called a number of times at Mr Gadd's place of business, but failed to get the opals. Ultimately a friend called and obtained the enlargements. Witness discovered, however, that instead of being opals they were nothing bat paper pasted on glass. He as soon as possible saw Mr Gadd, and returned the enlargements. Mr Gadd offered to supply him with opals, but witness said he had attempted to deceive him once and he would not give him a chance to do it the second time. He demanded the return of the money paid for the opals; but without result, and he now claimed the amount. The Bench gave judgment for the amount claimed and £1 8s costß.
