SUPREME COURT.
(Before His Honour Mr. Justice
Edwards.)
(Saturday, March 18th.)
BRISCOE & OTHERS V. BARTRUM
The case, in which a party of bushfells claimed £300 and applied for a lieu over the land of Mr. G. N. Bartruci, on which bush had been felled, was concluded at the Supreme Court on Saturday. The plaintiffs alleged that they felled 200 acres of land in a very satisfactory manner and according- to the contract, but the defendant brought evidence to show that the bush had been cut very roughly, "smashing" being indulged in too much. The parties endeavoured to effect a compromise, but as they could not agree, His Honour gave judgment to the plaintiff for £60, in addition to £30 paid oa a«> count since the action started, and on condition that Bartrum paid the men's stores account amounting to about £51 10s.
Mr. Cohen appeared for defendant and Mr. Mackay for plaintiffs.
