A Sale of Sheep.

Gardiner v Belcher

The Appeal Allowed

His Honor Mr Justice Demrisfcon, m Banco, Christohixroh, on Friday, gave judgmeat m a case which involved an appeal from the decision of the Magistrate at Christchuroh m the case Leonard C. Gardiner, appellant, v J obn Belcher, respon dent. Mr Stringer and Mr Lane appeared for the appellant, and Mr T. G.Bussell and Mr Meates for the respondent. Messrs Pyiie and Co., aa agents for the plaintiff, the appellant, sold to the defen dant, the respondent, by auction 151-ewea at the Addington Saleyards. They were guaranteed as to age, but were sold subject to all faults. Defendant, before bidding, axamined the sheep. After buying, he found some of the sheep suffering from foot-rot, and said he would not take them. After , seeing the auctioneer he appears to have been satisfied that he had no ground for refusiug to take delivery. He then went to the office of Messrs Pyne and Co., and received a delivery order. With this he went to Mr M'Donald, employed by Messrs Pyne and Co., said that the sheep were foot-rotted, and asked luni if-he would put the sheep m their paddock and sell them for defendant the following week This he consented to do, but said defendant must first come and take delivery, and defendant agreed. The sheep were then counted from one pen to another, and one was rejected as over ag«. Detendant then handed the delivery note to M Donald saying, "You had better keep thia order, as you are going to put the sheep out for me." M'Donald says he took them as Belcher's sheep.,,. His Honor held that there was no ques tion as to there having been sufficient acr ceptaac© within Section 6 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1895. It was, Jowever con tended for the defendant, and found by the Magistrate, that there was no actual re ceipt. There was, m his opinion, the strongest possible evidence ot delivery and actual receipt. The defendant was physio ally m possession of the sheep, m terms of a delivery order asked for and obtained by him There was, he thought, an actual Bhvsioial possession and receipt by the de fendant before he transferred the sheep .to Messrs Pyne and Co. for custody on ws behalf. He could, without any further word or act, have driven them where he Those. Immediately before handing them over to Messrs Pyne and Co. he might hava (if they had been the vendors') m terms of the Act, given them a lien, or revived the old one. That a vendor's lien might be revived, as by the insolvency of the pur chaser before delivery, was clear. His Honor, further, thought if Messrs Pyne and Co. held the sheep as vendors at the tints the arrangement was made, they had disclosed their principal (the plaintiff.) The auctioneer's agency had come to an end. Messrs Pyne ®nd Co. were asked to keep and sell the sheep as the agents of the defendant. The fact that they later asserted their right to a hen could not affect the legal position of the parties. In his opinion, there was an acceptance and actual receipt of the sheep before Messrs Pvne'andCo. obtained possession of them as the defendant's bailee or agent, and the appeal must therefore be allowed, with .£lO iOs costs. ... i Belcher has given notice to appeal against the decision.

How They Live and Work.

Anybody can make money, but it requires a creneral of finance to keep and accumulate it The successful man of to-day is the en ergetic, abstemious one ; quick to act, slow to apeak, and of unwavering concentration. YThe man who has built his own fortune has. as a general thing, learned how to hold on to it. He is the man who knows how to spend as well aB how to save. He recognises the fact that it ia the little extravagances that eafc up the profits. The man who has made the money usually saves it. It ib hia children who spend it. Small men of affairs are prone to short hours, many holidays, and elaborate lunch eons. The real Napoleons of Wall Street (says) tha " New York World ") work hard erthan any of their clerks, and live more simply. Mr James Stillman, President of the National City Bank and one of the most powerful men m New York finance, a domi nant factor m the financial field, is most PUNCTUAL, FRUGAL, EXACT, AND PAINSTAKING m all Ms business dealings, and, further more he requires thia same conscientiousness m his employees. He has little patience with the mistakes of others, because he argues that proper attention to the business m hand nullilies tho chance 3of mechanical arrors, whatever may ba said for errors of ittdgmeat. ■ ' ' . Although more than 50 years oi age, Mr Stillman is athletic m his tastes, and fre quently walks from his home down to business. He does not take the time to go out to luncheon, but has it served m his office at the bank. The meal is a plain but substantial one. Mr Stillman arrives at his office at 10 o'clock every morning, and leaves about 4.30. Mr Joha D. Eockefeller, who is reputed to be THE RICHEST MAN on tills continent and one of the four rich est m the world, is a hard worker and a V plain liver. His tastes are simple, his hab its methodical, his capacity for work enor mous, his management of details beyond compare. Thia man, whose income increases W the dollars ©very time he breathes, arises at 6.45 every morning, breakfasts simply on fruit, cereal, and perhaps a chop, takes a walk m the park, and ia usually at Hsoffios by 10 o'clock. Sometimes he walks all the way down. He sits at his desk and works with the utmost concentration all day. At 1 o'clock he lunches sparingly. About 4 o'clock he leaves his office and on plesant days walks part of the way °Mr Darius Ogden Mills, one of New York's riohflflfc men, is a consistent example or the simplicity and economy which he preaches. He gives close personal attention to busi ness at airs, and believes m the philanth ropy that helps people to help themselves, Mr Mills has said that tSOWtST, EDUCATION, AKO ECONOMY are the three potent factors m promoting the well-being of a community. He'thinks fchae people are far too extravagant. Wealth is a matter of proportion, he asserts, and the cterk who spends 20 cents daily on tobacco is ft greater spendthrift than the millionaire who keeps his steam yacht. | Mr Kussel Sage, a multi-millionaire, i •whose name ia synonymous with frugality, arrives at his office promptly at 9.30 a.m., and leaves at about 3,80 p.m .An apple and a bowl of crackers and milk are Mr Safe's favourite articles of food for lunch eon Most men of great wealth are simple : and abstemiousintheirtastes,and none more i bo than Mr Kuesel Sage. A few, like Mr George Gould, may goto the Lawyers Ctab and order a lobster a la Newberg or a cwnubaok; a very few like Mr Sage may i«m patronise the free-lunch counter, but til majority eat moderately and choose eood wholesome food. g Other rich men,like Mr HenryH.Rogers, Vice-Fraßident of the Standard Oil Com ims, and Mr J Pierpoint Morgan, controller «f half the railroads m the country and ot a Cation of the Wall Street word are S? infatiirabl© workers, arriving at their Sot^tefUre many of their helpers and remaining frequently at. their desks until long after business hours.
