Benny v Friedlander.

Before His H"nor Mr Jii3tice Denniston on Mcndiy at Chvi tcluirch... and special a j ry of tw Ive. The plaintiff in this case was Joseph Penay, farmer, of Si ulhbridge, and the defendants Messrs "Friediander Bros., merchants, of Ashburton. The claim was f« v £750 damages sought, to be recovered by the plaintiff, ou account of the deterioration of value of certain sheep seized by the defen danta, which it was alleged was caused by the action of defendants. The statement of, claim alleged that in May, 1890, W. de B Wilson of Westerfield gave to the Bank of Australia a mor gage of stock over 7500 sheep to secure £1000 and further advances. In October IS9O, the plaintiff, John Orr and VV. Mitchell gave a joint and several guarantee to the Bank for any sain ad vanced by the Bank to Wil-on not exceeding £2500, and the plaintiff gave to Messrs Orr and Mitchell |an indemnity against loss. {At the time of the guarantee being given Wilson was indebted to the Bank to the amount of £24(,0. On 13th November ihe defendants, hav ng previously obtained a judgment agiinst Wilson, issued a writ of sale and wrongfully caused (he Sheriff to seize the flock of sheep under security to the Bank, and on November 14 the sheep were so seized. The sheep were put by the Sheriff into a paddock which had been ea'en ! nearly bare, and the result was great de ' terioration. Besides this, a number of the lambs were mismothered. The sheep were kept in the paddock for some days despite the remonstrances of the solic'.tor for the Bank and the manager of the Bank. The plaintiff, it was alleged, had suffered more than the £750, which the plaintiff had sought to recover as damages. Subsequently an interpleader suit took place to decide whether the Bank or Messrs Friedlander Brothers were entitled to have the money realised by the pale of the sheep. After this Mr De Burton Wilson filed his schedule and the Official Assignee took possession. It was then arranged that the Bauk should sell the sheep and put f-.e proceeds into a sus pense account pending the result of the validity of the securities held by the Bank. The sale of the sheep had been delayed for about twenty-one days, during which the price of sheep fell consider ably. When the sheep were sold on the 12th December, 1892, they brought £2600, and at the time of the sale there were owing to the Bank some £3300. On the 12th March the plaintiff was compelled to pay £365 to the Bank u der the guarantee and to Messrs Orr and Mitchell LIBO each. It was alleged that but for the wrongful act of the defendants in seizing the sheep there would not have been any deficiency. The plaintiff therefore ought to recover the sum of L750 as damages for death and loss of sheep, &c, loss of market and price. The statement of defenoe denied all iha materhl allegations, and for a further defence it was alleged that if the guarantee was given ae stated by plain iff and Messrs Orr and Mit chell to the Bank of Australasia it was part of the consideration for such guarantee that the Bank should not call up the money secured by the mortgage of stock until afte' tha sheep had lambed acd had been shorn. The eboep i were not shorn at the time of the eeizure by the sheriff, and the B ink was not entitled to sell the sheep before Deoember 12, if theD. Mr Stringer, wi hhim Mr Wilding, for the plaintiff; Mr Purnell, with him Mr Bussel, for the defendants. Mr Wilding opened the oasa for tha plain tiff, and explained that ihedchy which had occurred ia bringing thi3 action, the circum stances having trtken p'ace in 1890, was due lo the fiot cf Mr Friadlander, a riu.tirial witness, bang on a v sit to England. Evidence was led for the plaintiff, the witneeses examined being Ciptain Wray (Sheriff at Timam), Mesirs R. Kennedy, Primmer, Jjbn Orr, Joseph Barmy, Percy Cox, and D ivid Thonns. After these witnesses had givin evidence, Mr Stringer applied for the joioing of the Bank of Au?tralusia a^ plaintiff, Mr Purnell obj loted to the Bank being joined as a plaintiff. Hia Honor, after argument, said he would not now make the amendment by adding the Bank as plaintiff as asked by Me S.ringor, lu would rese:ve tbe right to make euah addition later on mekiDg a note that it iaad bsen asked for. He would call Mr Purnell's atten tion to the fact that there was only the one point to go to tbe jury, and that was dimage or no damage. The parties could go to the jury en this issue, leading the legal poin'B as to the responsibility of the defendant f.r such damage, if any. This closed the pontiff's case. Mr Purnell moved for a nonsuit on thi ground that the p'amliff had not shown any assignment of the oleim to him by tl-e Bink His Honor said he declined 'o nonsuit the plaintiff, but would reserve this point with the other legal points for argument at a future date. Mr Russell opened the case for the defen dant, and said that '.hey would prove that no datnbge had been ocoasioned by any action of the defendant, and that so tar from lojs being oorasioned through driving sheep when lamb ing, the sheep had lambed some time. They would prove that an experienced shepherd bad been engaged by tbe Sheriff, sni that he took all necessary precautions. So far from the paddock being destitute of feed, it had more feed on it than any other part of the run, and that in the ordinary ihjd of business this would be exactly what v?ou!d have been done by any prudent and experienced man. Tha Court then adjourned till 10.30 a.m. to-day,
