hafc stuff he had taken out. The wo k was not properly done, inasmuch as some of the stuff had been left on the side of the road, and the drain was not even. It was usual to supply written reports to the Board of the contractors' works and on these reports the contractors Mere paid. No such report had been issued m re gard to Fitzgerald's drain. On the Graham's road shingle contract, got the cartage tally from Sheehan, showing VSi) loads. Showed this to Fitzgerald who said he was not satisfied with it, as he had a certificate from Mr John Fooks, giving 2460 yards. Told Fitzgerald that if that certificate was right he would be paid.-By Mr Wilding -Would not re commend the Board to pay if the thing was not right. In the Boundary road no report was made to the Board of the bad grading of the drain, but only of the stuff on the side, and m regard to this the Board was recommended to settle the matter by a compromise.—Hugh Cullen lent a dray to Fitzgerald, the measure meat of which was 27 11-13ths. Believed it would carry more than a yaid, but could not say how much.—James Bishop had one of John Small's drays, which Mr Small lent to Fitzgerald. This dray was measured b£ Mr Alfred Fooks. The usual practice was for the surveyor to measure the work, submit the measure ment to the Board, and the Board paid. Patrick Sheehan was employed by the Longbeach Road Board to take tally of the loads m the Graham's road shingling contract. The tally Was kept m pencil, and made up m ink at night m another part of the book. Another man named Mulford also kept tally, but witness did not know m whose interest he was keep ing it.—Charies Hill, farmer, Wakanui, lent Fitzgerald a dray for the Graham's road work. Believed it would carry a yard more with the sideboards on.— Alfred Spicer, foreman of works for the Borough Council, said that only two cases m all his twelve yeara' experience had he met drays that were over a yard n capacity. Counsel having addressed the Bench, His Worship said he would take time to consider his decision, and the Court adjourned for a fortnight.
