You said you did not owe it ?—It \ras a funny question to ask. It was not the act of an honest ma ,n ?-It was my duty as an honest man to t ell him not to give credit. You had had the goods, and this woman was diving with you ?—What do you mea a by saying ;hat this woman was living with me t Mr Lewis Take it which way yc iu like. Defendant: If you bad a housekeeper living with you, you would not like that said. Mr Lewis The husband does not believe it, and he is going to prove it. Mr Gamlin The case is coming on at the next sitting, and I do not think that that should be said. His Honour Plaintiff says that you went to his shop and asked if your wife owed anything. Defendant I never said so. It is wrong. Mr Lewis Why did you ask him if this lady owed anything ? Defendant I asked him if I owed him any- thing, and he said "No." That was plain enough. Did you not know that you did not owe him anything?—No. How did I know whether there had been a pound of steak sent up that I did not know about. Did you never hear of such a thing ? His Honour said he had to consider all the facts, and it was given in evidence that defen- dant had allowed the lady to sing at a concert as Mrs Adderley without any remon- strance, and he had also asked plaintiff if he owed anything. That showed that he thought that there was some debt. He gave judgment for plaintiff for 92 2s 5d, giving defendant the benefit of 7s 4d claimed, as that was due for goods supplied after defendant alleged he spoke to plaintiff as to no credit giving. Claim for Printing the Town Crier's Culde Book. Messrs Pearce and Jones, Journal Office, Rhyl, claimed of Mr Thomas Watkin Roose, Town Crier, Bedford-street, the sum of 1:8, balance of account for printing. Defendant put in a counter claim for zEl 13s. Mr J D Polkinghorne said the defendant in the early part of 1899 called on Messrs Pearce and Jones and asked them to print a Guide for him he also asked to be allowed to use some copyright matter and blocks of which plaintiffs were the proprietors. They agreed to this, defendant in return saying he would put an advertisment in the Guide about the Rhyl Journal." Plaintiffs agreed to print the guide on condition that the defendant paid for it as he received the money from advertisements, &c, during the season. Being pressed with work they were unable to print the Guide Book themselves, but got it done by a Liverpool firm at the same price, and the plaintiffs gave their cheque for f-16. Of this sum defendant paid them JE8, leaving A:8 still due. When plaintiffs pressed for the balance defendant sent in a counter claim for £1 13s. Fifteen shilling of this was for a half-page advertisement in the Guide Book. That they said they never agreed to pay, as it was given them by defendant in re- return for the use of copyright matter and'blocks. The 18s was for commission for bringing in advertisements at 20 per cent. Defendant had pressed plaintiffs repeatedly to allow him to canvass for advertisements. They at last allowed him to do so, saying that they would pay him a -commission. of 10 per cent., the same as they paid to other agents. One of the advertisements on which he claimed a com- mission was from an auctioneer, for which a charge of R2 10s was made. The auctioneer called at the office and said he had never agreed to pay R2 10s, and complained that the defen- dant had misrepresented the whole thing to him. Under the circumstances plaintiffs accepted JE2 for the advertisement. They were prepared to allow the defendant commission on £4 at the rate of 10 per cent. According to the charge made for the Journal advertise- ment defendant had zC20 worth of advertise- ments in the book, and he had had 5,000 copies to sell at Id each. Instead of paying for the printing in the season Ihe had only paid zC8, and when pressed for the balance at the end of the summer defendant sent in a contra bill dated June for £1 13s. Defendant had told witness that he was to receive 10 per cent. commission for advertisements. The defendant said he saw Mr Lewis Jones in February and asked him if he would print his guide-book for him, and he agreed to do so. Mr Jones, however, put him off from time to time, and it was suggested that he (defendant) should write to a firm in Liverpool that had done some work for him before, and it was agreed that Mr Jones should pay the firm 916 and that he should repay him the money of this he paid him in the month of May 98. Against the balance R8 he claimed 15s for the advertisement in the Guide and 20 per cent commission for advertisements which he got for the "Journal." Mr Jones when he agreed with him said Ten per cent is too easily got, I will give you 20 per cent" (laughter.) They might laugh; but that was what he said (laughter.) Mr Jones ought to have come there himself to defend the action instead of sending someone who knew nothing about it (laughter.) Cross-examined He did not remember meeting Mr Polkinghorne in Bedford-street and asking him this question, "Has Mr Jones told you that I am to have your copyright matter and use of blocks, and in return I am to give you an advertisement in the Guide?" He got the copy of the advertisement from Mr Lewis Jones. Witness Did Mr Lewis Jones give you the copy of an advertisement of this kind, Go to the Journal Office for all kinds of good and cheap printing. No charge made." (loud laughter).—De- fendant That was the printer's mistake; you know it is customary to submit proofs. Mr Jones made no complaint. -Continuing he said He did not go to the "Journal" Office and stating that he had a better chance of letting the space occupied by the "Journal" advertisement, and asking Mr Jones if he would take another. Mr Jones did not say he did not care whether the advertisement appeared or not. The Judge said it was ridiculous to suppose that anyone would pay for an advertisement stating that he would do printing for nothing. He gave judgment for plaintiffs, less 8s for commission.
