The adjourned sitting of the Perth Local
Court was resumed at half-past two o'clock
yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, when the
case of the Perth Foundry Co. v. A. Cham
berlain was resumed, and resulted in judg
ment being given in favour of the plaintiffs
for the charge made for supplying defen
dant with a pair of buggy wheels, with
costs. C. Gallop sued J. Stewart (of the
Governor. Broome Hotel) for .£6 2s. 7d.,
the price of a bag of potatoes and three
cases of fruit supplied. ,.The defendant
called two witnesses who had helped to take
the goods out of the cart, and who swore
positively that only two cases of fruit were
delivered. On the other hand Mr. .Gallop
swore he sent three, produced his account
book showing that threo cases were entered,
and called his carter, who deposed he had
delivered the three cases at the hotel. His
Worship held that the balance of evidence
was in favour of the plaintiff, and therefore
gave judgment for the amount claimed,
with cost?. The next case taken* -was that
of Messrs. Bowers & McGrath v. Messrs.
W. Gray & E. Mansfield, in which the
plaintiffs sued the ? defendants for £-5 8i.,
the value of 15 yds. of cap stone which
they alleged the defendants had im
properly taken from their stack of ; stoh'e
on the William-street jetty. Mr. J..F.
Harper appeared for the plaintiffs
and Mr. Buruside for thedefeildants. The
dispute between the parties appeared to be
a mo8t involved one, and the ease for; the
plaintiffs had not been concluded when the.
Court rose at five o'clock. Shortly after
ten o'clock this morning the hearing of the
above case was resumed. A large number
or witnesses were called en eitner siae,
but the case was utterly devoid of interest
to the general public. The hearing lasted
until about a quarter past; noon, when Mr.
Leake, after summing up the conflicting
evidence in the most exhaustive and im
partial manuer, gave judgment against the
defendants with costs. The case of J. Sands
v. .T.Hillman, to recover JB5 5s. as price of
'?I'Em^Hfew Atlas of Australia,' was just
opan*edrwhen the Court adjourned for lunch.
