And as for the bundles of wire and iron, it was impossible to say that one piece made a bundle. This would be much the same as if the mate signed for a bundle of one hundred shovele and only received one.
SUPREME COURT.
IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. (Before the Hon, the Aeting Puise Judge, J. J. Francis, Esq.)
Wednesday, Sept. 17. GOMIS. ALABOR, $189.-This was a claim for rent and taxes for the months of June, July, and Angust, for house No. 4 Stanley Street, occupied by defendant. Mr Stephens appeared for plaintiff, Mr Dennys for defendant.
Mr Dennys admitted $129 of the claim, and disputed the balance, on the ground that his alient had been compelled to leave the house before the end of August. His client bad received notice on the 7th of July to quit the premises on August 31st, and that arrangement would bave stood good, had there been no interruption, but as his client was compelled to go and live In other premises before his lease expired, be held that the rent for that month was not due.
Johannes Alabor stated I rented the house No 4 Stanley Street from Mr Gomes, and received notice from him on the 7th Joly to leave the premises on the Blat of August. About the beginning of last month, a lot of workmen came to the house and put up a scaffolding on both sides of it; stones were placed in front of the house, quite close to the door and taking up part of the doorway. This caused me a deal of inconvenience, as I could not close the shutters on account of the scaffolding, and was compelled to close the windows for safety. Un the 26th of the month, while 1 was in my office, I heard a crash above me, and, on going up stairs, found that part of the ceiling and roof of the house bad fallen down. I could see the sky quite platily through the hole in the roof. The furniture, tables, chairs, sideboard and floor were covered with mortar and dust, I was afraid to live any longer in the house, and immediately removed" my furniture to an- other house.
Witness on being asked by Mr Stephens why he did not write and inform Mr Gomes of the inconvenience he was being put to, replied that he thought Mr Gomes knew what was being done Witness farther added, in reply to Mr Stephens-I took away all my goods on the 26th of the month, and did not send the key of the house to Mr Gomes, because there was no key to send. I never had a key; the door was always closed from the inside.
When the consign
ment was landed and weighed it was found to be considerably short in weight, and the mate of the Agnes "luir was spoken to on the matter, and said, "I've given you your 102 lota." The first quantity received was 28,291 lbs, but six days afterwards, another 1806 lbs. were delivered, leaving his clients short of 14,363 lbs. It was found that the mats had been selling old Iron, and the agents Messra Meyer & Co., were informed of it and admitted it in a letter to Mr Arnhold, and stated, that what the mate had sold was some iron belonging to the ship, and the sweepings of the hold after the cargo had been discharged, and that the Captain of the Agnes Muir, refused to recognise any claim of Messre Arnhold Karberg & Co., and that they, the agents, could do nothing in the matter. Mr Bro- reton held that the admission of the mate that he had sold iron to the extent of 800 Ibs, made him out a wrongdoer.
His Lordship wished Mr Brereton to explain how, although the iron were weighed previous to going into the ship, he could prove that the iron that was welghed at the dock-gates, was the fron that went on board the ship.
Mr Johnson:
His Lordship: I never heard it so used Mr Arabold, in reply to His Lordship, stated that the from bad been sold at $2.40 per picul and that the value of the 800lbs. sold by the mate would be $12.80.
Chan a Pik, a coolie, in the employ of Messrs Arnhold, Kazberg & Co., said: I have been employed five years with my present employers. I know the English ship consigned to Meara Meyer & Co, and went to the long Pier on the 18th August to take delivery of iron wire and rope. I was told to get 102 lots, and got them; there were 32 coils and 20 bundles.

By his Lordship:-I was told by the go- down keeper what I had to receive; he wrote on the paper before I went to take delivery, "82 coils and 20 bandles."
Mr Brereton: Did you get that quantity? Witness: The mate made no division. said there was no mark, and they were

His Lordship: Have you got that book? Witness: The godown keeper has it. His Lordship: What is the use of your coming into Court without a tallying book. Mr Brereton, you must have known that it would be required; this is only wasting time.
Evidence resumed :--I got 102 lota with- out distinguishing them as colls or bundles; eight of the bundles were marked; some wore smaller than those in Court, about or 10 lbs. weight; some were marked, some were not. I did not notice any marks on the two separate pieces, of the 82 colls 16 had no marks, the others were marked.
Hia Lordship: Did you note that in your book when taking delivery?
Witness: No; after going to the godown I marked that in the book, also 82 coils 18 bundles 2 single pieces.
