Defence Counsel Makes His

Closing Address

Mr R. H. Hindmarsh, Defence Counsel in an action brought by Mr Karel Weiss against the Peak Tramways Ltd, said this morning that it would be an extra- ordinary state of affairs if the continuous purchase of goods for a long period were construed as a contract,

Making his concluding submission before Judge: K. R. Macfee in the Victoria District Court this morning, Mr Hindmarsh suggested that Mr Weiss had had a supply of tickets on hand and was "surprised" at having not received further orders from the Peak Tramways. He therefore wrote to the latter appreciating further orders.
