Mr. Harris said the claim was for half a mess account during the months of August and September. Defendant had had dealings with plaintiffs since February last and the accounts wors quid till the end of July. Mr. Robertson was away during June and July, and the mess billa were paid during that time by Mr. Tarnor. At the oud of August the account A rendered to Mr. Robertson, who wrote to plaintiffs asking that the bill stand month. Goods were supplied during September, and at the beginning of October application was made for payment. Defendant then told plaintiffs that Mr. Turner should have paid the account, as he (defendant) had paid his share to Mr. Turner. On enquiry being made it it was ascertained that Mr. Turner had left the Colony. The books, how ever, showed that the account was against Mr. Robertson, and they looked to him for payment. Mr. Tarner had paid two months simply because Mr. Robertson was away. Plaintiffs ware only claiming half the account, although they would have been entitied to claim the full amount, as Mr. Turner had not paid his share.
