INTERESTING COMMERCIAL CASE.

OPPEti IIBIMEK V. FENTON, HOLLER, AKD INGLE5.

THB District Court was occupied to-day with the case oi Adolphus Oppcohiemer v. WHam Henry Fenton, an action brought to recover £01 21 4(1 on a guarantee. The ca-c win heard before His Honour, Jud^e Smith. Mr James liussell appeared for the plain tiff and Mr Coleman for the defendant, The declaration of the plaintiff set forth that on December 13th, ISSI, he engaged Mr C. K. Jeff, as a commercial traveller, Mr W. H> Fenton giving a guarantee for his honesty, That two ti-ipsjjwcre made South hy Mr Jeffs, ard that at tho close of these, there was a deficiency for which Mr Fenton •57aa held liable. '1 he defendant's pica was to the effect that the guarantee was under, gtood to apply only to the first trip, and that the balaiicG of £10 then was liquidated subsequently by commissions earned by Jeffs. A set-off of £05 for salary, said to be due by uppenhoimer to Jell., was also put in. I Mr Russell, in his opening, said tho plaintiff engaged Mr Jell's as a traveller, Sir Fenton binding himself as giun-autec. The agreement on the part of Jeffs not having been adhered to, the plaintiff sued Mr y.ntou for £01 2j lid. Before any evidence was taken, Mr Cole man objected to the bill of particulars fur nished, on the ground that they contained no dates, Mr Kusscll contended that the omission was one that they were not bound to supply. They could not be expected to supply the dates on which they were sold by Jell's. Examination of the separate copies of particulars shewed that a clerical omi-sion had been made, and tho bill was amended accordingly. Adolphus Oppenhcimer, a merchant re siding in Auckland, deposed that ho knew Mr Charles Kitigsford Jeffs, who came to him towards the cud of 1881, and desired to be employed as a commercial traveller on commission. Witness said ho might en tertain the proposal if the applicant got lome substantial men to guarantee the amount ofgoodshemighteulrusttoliim. Mr Jeffs was a stranger to him. Jells proposed Mr Fenton to bim as a guarantee. Mr Russell asked at this stage that all witnesses be ordered out of Court. Mr Coleman objected. Mr Jeffs was really the defendant, and he would bo deprived of his instructions if he were ordered out oi Court. Mr Russell persisted in his s>pplication, and all witnesses were accordingly ordered out of Court, Examination continued : Mr Fen ton's name was agreeable to me. . I agreed with Mr Jeffs as to the terms on which ho was employed, aud I got Mr J_arl, solicitor, to draw up the agreement and the guarantee. The document produced was the one in question. Mr Earl witnessed if. Tho agree ment was on one side of the document, and theguaranteebyMrFenton wason the other, In consequence of that guarantee I trusted Mr Jeffs with goods. It was on tho same day or the following day to that on which tbe guarantee was executed, Supplied goods to the extent of £500 altogether. The list supplied was of goods that Jeffs had not accounted for. The others he returned cither in money or in kind. The amount of the December list (produced) was £23 9s 6d. Those g.ods were part of a larger parcel which I supplied. When Mr Jeffs returned, he rendered me the accounts of the goods he could not account for, as he had sold them and could not get the money for them. The account he rendered me is the one produced. It is dated April, ISS2, and signed "O, K. Jeffs," That account actually amounted Jo £40, but Jeffs sent him the money for £12 12s, but not for the remainder. It was sent on the cheque by Mr Wall, of .Napier, to whom he sold the goods. There was £23 9s Gd, then due, which Jeffs admitted. Bis Honor pointed out what appeared to be a discrepancy in the bill. Examination continued : Jeffs cast up £15 15s and £20 10s Gd. Added to tbis "was the £12 12s remitted subsequently. 1 trusted Mr Jeffs with goods subsequent to this guarantee, to the amount of between £400 and £500. This was about the sth or Gth of July. There waa agaiu a discrepancy in his returns. The goods had been en trusted to him on precisely the same con ditions as the previous ones. He had not accounted for these goods. The account submitted by himself, and signed '• C. K. Jeffs," showed a deficiency of £38 14s sd, but I reduced it to £37 13s Gd, Jeffs having made a clerical error in casting up, Mr Jeffs said he used the deficient amount for travelling expenses, and added that he was willing to work it out if I would allow him to travel on. He has never refunded me either of these amounts. The whole of the goods not accounted for were entiusted to Mr Jeffs under that agreement and guarantee. It might ba asserted that the second lot of goods was entrusted without the guarantee, but that was not true. I had no conversation with Mr Fenton, in wMch he limited the operation of the guarantee to the first lot of goods supplied. I saw Mr Fenton several times in reference to the payment of tbis account for which I am now suing. The first time was about the I2th or 13th of November, 1882. Tho interview took place in Mr Fenton's shop, Queen-street, j I showed Mr Fenton the account between Mr Jeffs and myself, amounting to £42 odd. That was an account struck between Jeffs and myself, after the return from the second trip. Jeffs was present at the makingjout of it, and he acknowledged the balance as being due. When I asked Jeffs for payment of it, he said I had better go to Mr Fenton. I did so, and showed Mr Fenton the account for £42 odd. He said, "Bring Jeffs down, aud we'll talk the matter over." I went back, and brought Jeffs down, and saw Mr Fenton when we came back, I told him (Fenton) that if it was not convenient for him to pay then, he would take his promis sory note for four months. He said he would give me an answer next day, but kept me a fortnight waiting, I saw him five or six times, and he then said—" The man is there ; let him work it out.'' He did not say that he was not liable, nor that the guarantee did not apply to the second trip. Ail he said was—"Let the man . work it out." I saw Mr Fenton six or seven times, about this account, but on no occasion did he dmy hia liability under the guarantee. At the end of a f ornight, I threatened to send a lawyer's letter if Mrli'enton did not pay up. Fenton said, " Oh, you can do what you like; Idon't believe I am liable." InUctober, 1882,1 was dissatisfied with what Jeffs was doing, and I telegraphed to him to come back at once, or send back my merchandise. He replied that he could not come unless I sent him £10. He was then in Welling ton. I did not send the £10, but went to Mr Fenton and told him that Jeffs j Wanted £10. I said Jeffs was quite deep enough already—that is, that so far as Fenton's guarantee was concerned, he was quite deep enough in my debt. I added that I would not send the £10 unless he (Fenton) concurred. He said not to .end the £10, bnt not to let him stick there; to arrange with the Union Company for Jeffs' fare back to Auckland. In consequence of what Mr Fenton said, I did make such arrangement, Mr Coleman objected that the witness was going outside the issue. The £10 was not charged, Mr Russell argued to the contraiy, and His Honor held the evidence to be ad missible. Examination continued: At Mr Featoo's request I went to the Onion Company's Oifice and paid the £10. Mr Fenton did not then say he was not liable, nor did he say auythinp to the contrary. I claim from Mr Fenton £61 2s 6d. It is not true that I owe Jeff's the amount of set-off put in. He was never ou salary with me ; simply on commission, lam not liable for any of those items, Mr Jeffs never made appli cation to me for the £65 c.'aimed, and I totally deny the liability. Uy Mr Coleman—l applied to Mr Fenton for the £4214s 9d balance ef account within » day after I struck the balance between Jeffs and myself. Jeffs was a party to the striking of that balance. I would be satis fied with the £42 19s 10J. That is the real amount I asked Mr Fenton for. I have a copy ot the account rendered to Mr Jeffe. ■The accounts produced were those I bad rendered to Mr Jeffs. The last one shewed the balance of £42 19s lOd. -The urst trip terminated in A pril, 1882, and Mr Jeffs was then indebted to me to the extent °f £10. The total amount of goods on that account was £23 9s 6d, but some of that Was for commission. Mr KusseU explained that while tho de ficiency was £23 odd, there was an extra acconnt which reduced it to £10, but he contended that under the agreement tbis set off could not be claimed. This action was brought to recover under covenart between two persons, which provided that a third petßon should return goods entrusted to him. no contended that any claim tor commission PS1 the third person could not be introduced «an action between the first and second persona under the deed.

' Mr Coleman said ho had previously held the 6amo opinion, but looking at , Leake on Contracts, ho found that defendant was entitled to plead a sot-ofl to reduce the debt. Examination continued — After that balance of £10 was duo, Jed's earned com. missions to a larger amount than £10. Iv effect, that £10 was not wiped out because for nil commissions I paid h v money. The guarantee was to remain in operation during tho whole time Jeffs was in my employ, After tho end of tho iirnt trip, Jeffs s i'id he could get a billet some- i where else on good salary, and I said "go._" i "I wont stay in your way." Be camel back, and said he thought on consideration that it would be better for him to remain on commission with me than go elsewhere on a salary, That was the first timo Jeffs spoke to me regarding an | alteration in the terms of tho agreement. I , do not remember writing to Mr Jeffs in reference to fresh arrangements Ido not remember writing to Jeffs under date March 14th, 1882, telling Jeffs to work i his way back by way of the West Coast, and we will then say what arrangements wc cau make with you, (A letter contain ing this passage was then put in by Mr Cole man, and admitted by tbe witness as having been written by him). 1 never made fresh arrangements with Jeffs. I gave him credit tor some work he did between the lirst aud second trip. He pleaded poverty, and I allowed him £10 subsequently. The accounts produced arc in my handwriting, showing the balance due ta me at £42 193 lOd. I remember tho conversation with Mr Fenton about the £10, which took place in my store iv Customhouse-street. Mr Fenton did not fay—"lf you want Jeffs, you had better ai range with him for [ his return." He said—" Don't let him stick; arrange with the Union Company for his passage. By Mr Russell: The amownt of £42 19s . lOd represented the sum Jells was indebted '■ to him.in, alter all allowances for comtnis- ; sion and work had been deducted. I never _ made fresh terms with Jeffs. . Edward Frost deposed : I am a partner , of Mr Oppenheimer in the gum trade. I , know Mr Jeffs, and recollect seeing him iv i Mr Oppenheimer's ollice In the lat'cr end of , 18S2. Ho was in about November, j I recollect Mr Oppenheimer and Mr Jeffs t going through their respective ar 'ounts. j I was iv tho office, and did not see all that , passed. I do not know that a balance was struck of about £42 Jeffs did not object j to that balance. I was not iv tbe office all , tho time, and I do not recollect if I was in j the office at tho actual sti iking of the , balance, but I did hear the sum of £42 19a , lOd mentioned, Mr Jeffs has often told me , since the balance was struck that-he was in i debt to Mr Oppenheimer. From the convcr- , satlonlheard when Messrs Oppenheimer and ( Jeffs were going over the accounts, 1 believe , the balance due was £42 19s 10d. I recol- j lect Mr Fenton coming to tho office once, , when Mr Oppenheimer was in. I went out j and loft them together. 1 hat was before s Jeffs came back to Auckland. It was about < a week before he came back. I did not j hear the conversation, but heard an engage- | ment between Messrs oppenheimer and s Fenton to meet aod talk over thesubjectof a ] telegram for £10. Mr Oppenheimer told x him about the £10 asked for, and he reconi- ( mended him not ta pay for it unless Mr ( Fenton guaranteed it. On November Sth, j ISS2. Mr Jeffs mot him and told him all tho , money he had in the world was 30«. He ■ wa3 going to sell tickets for the North j Shore Ferry Company next day, and did c not kuow what he would do after that. ] Everyone was dunning him for money, ] This was the plaintiff's case. : William Henry Fenton, defendant iv tbe , action, was examined by Mr Coleman, and ( deposed : Mr Earl asked me if I would ' sign the guarantee for Mr Jeffs' honesty , to Mr Oppenheimer, and I said I would, { It was for one ruu round the ci ast. j Mr Russell contended that the defence ( was uot entitled to call evidence to contra- c diet the terms of a contract which was in ( writing. If his objection were not upheld, ] ho would claim the privilege of iccalling Mr c Oppenheimer to contradict. c Mr Coleman submitted several nuthori- ties to prove that he had a right to continue ] the hue of evidence. He proposed to shew E that the guarantee was a mistake. Mr Russell contended that the Court would bo going outside its jurisdic- j tion if it were to set aside a docu- j ment executed in solemn form Evidence , to show that there was a mistake in a properly executed instrument, was, he held, j not admissible. His Honour held the evidence admls- ( sible, I

Mr Feoton's examination continued. —I said I would sign tho guarautee. Ho Drought the guarantee for mo to sign at my shop, about the 13th December, 18S1. 1 asked him whether tho guarantee was for one run round _Sew Zealand, and his answer was "yes." I only read the beading of It, as I was very busy. Ho said it was for only ono trip over New Zea land. It was on the understanding that it related only to one trip over New Zealand that I signed the guarantee. Concerning the conversation relating to the £10 : I was walking near Oppenheimer's, when he asked me in, and asked me if I had heard where Jeffs was. I said—" No; Ido not know where he is," This was during the second trip. The day after, he also met me, and saying he wanted to ask me something, I went into bis office. He said —'■ Shall I send money to this man Jeffs." I said—"No; if you want him up, you had better bring him up. I should recom mend you to pay bis passage.'' Mr Oppen heimer never asked me for more than £42 19s lOd. I told him ho bad better look in again, and 1 would see if it was due. I said to Jeffs, in Oppenheimer's presence, that if he owed tbe money he had better work it out. I said I did not owe the money ; that my liability ended with the first trip. I never intended to make my-Eelf liable beyond the first trip. By Mr Russell; When Mr Earl brought tho agreement, he tendered it to me to read. I was busy. It was through no hurry on his part that he did not' read it, It was entirely bis own hurry that he did not read it. When we had tho conversation about the £10, Mr Oppenheimer asked me what he had better do. I did not then disclaim my liability, nor did I say that I had nothing to do with it. I advised Mr Oppenheimer to pay the passage money, but I was sur prised tbat he came to me. I advised bim to pay the passage money because 1 was a friend of Jeffs'; not because I had given the guarantee. My reason fur recommend ing that tho " money should be paid here and not sent to Jeffs's was because he was deep in Oppenheimer's debt, and because he wanted him back in a hurry. It was not because Jeffs might spend tho money, Mr V ppenheimer saw me about three times in reference to the balance of the account, and on tho third occasion I told him that my liability ended with the first trip. It did not enter my head on the first and Becond demands being made. It was brought into my head by the fact that he was so anxious, Jeffs brought the account for £42 19s lOd at tha close of the Becond trip, and said, " Here's the winding up, Fenton; he wants you to give him your bill for £42," That "conversation took place in November, 1882. Mr Oppenheimer did not come with Jeffs on that occasion, but ho did on tho third occasion. Jeffs was present at that time, but made no remark on the liability, I did not hear him say that I was only liable on the first trip. Jeffs and Oppen heimer were preseut at the first interview, but he made no remark as to his correct ness. The sum of £42 19a lOd waa men. tioned as being due. At the first interview I said I knew nothing about it, but I would sec Jeffs On the second occasion, I told Oppenheimer that I had not seen Jeffs, and he had better look in next morn ing. Ou the occasion of the third call, I denied ths liability, saying the guarantee was only for the first trip. When Oppen hemier first brought the account, I told him that he owed Jeffs more than that. On tho second interview, I did not acquaint Mr Oppenhemier with the fact that my liability ceased with tbe settling on the lirst trip. When Mr I)ppenbemier came to mo, I knew I was not liable beyond the first trip, I did not tell him because it never entered my e _3y Mr Coleman : When Mr Oppenheimer came for the first time I did not understand bim to mako a demand, but to ask me it 1 would help Jeffs fuither. On the second occa«ion, I told him Jeffs would work it out, and it was not till the third occasion that a peremptory demand was made. Charles Kingsford Jeffs, commercial traveller, residing in Auckland, deposed : I know the written agreements of December, 1881, between Mr Oppenheimer and my self. Mr Fenton's guarantee applied to the trip he was then about te make, so long as it might last. I do not know if the guarantee was to cease on my return, but I do know that on my return the engage ment with Mr Oppenheimer ceased, so I suppose the guarantee ceased too, I left Auckland in December 1881, and termina ted in April 1882. When I balanced ac counts, L, found I was indebted to Mr Oppenheimer to the extent of £10 10s Since then, and very shortly , after, I earned commissions that liquidated the-£lO. II saw on the first account a statement of 1 goods amounting to £23 9s 6d, in the claim

against Mr Fenton. In the second bill, there wns a claim for £35 odd. Theso were the only goods for which 1 had to account to Mr Oppenheimer. When 1 returned to Auckland for tho first time, the existing arrangement ceased. The letter which 1 now pioduce wa9 for warded by me to Mr Oppenheimer, from Wellington! It bears date February 1881, and atates that the amount of commission

(5 per cent.) wns not sufficient, aud it was impossible I could proceed further under existing arrangements. My return terrain. ' ated the agreement, aud 1 sought for other employment, I nsked Mr Oppenheimer for a fresh auangement, and he said he would pay mo £8 per month in addition to my commission if I liked to stay on. The new arrange ment was ra_.de at tho end of April or beginning of May. Mr Fenton was not consulted at all about the now arrange ments. The commissions were not tha same. They vaiied from 2_ to 10 per cent,

Mr Coleman pointed out to His Honor that there was no salary mentioned iv the original agreement—nothing but salaries. Examination continued : I statted on my second trip early in July, and returned at the cud of October, I have put in a set-off against Mr Oppculieimer. I claim 7 months' salaiy at £S per month, making £56. I swear that amount is due to mo. Thero were rlso cer tain expenses, one half of which Mr Oppenheimer promised to pay before they were incurred, Mr Oppenheimer left for Christchurch before me, and ho arranged with mo that during my tour I should de liver lectures on inventions of the period, in which I should advertise his goods. Some of the diagrams with which those lectures were illustrated arc u.w iv Mr Oppou heimer's possession. Ho was to have paid the expenses. I claim £65 odd as a set-off. By Mr Ku-sell—l never rendered au account to Mr Oppenheimer of this set-off. I made the account up beforo their action was commenced, aod gave it to him after tho action began. 1 mado up a state ment on my return showing that Mr Oppenhoimcr owed me £65 16s lOd. I had no money when I rottirncd, and was prossed for money. Having no money, it is a fact that I did make up tho account, and did not present it. I did not make the account up iv the form in which you sco it before the action commenced. I did not make It up in this form until I gavo it to Mr Fenton. It was the fact that Mr Oppenhoimur sued Mr Fenton that brought up the conversion in reference to the set-off. It was a fact that Mr Oppenheimer owed me £65, and althquuh 1 was pressed for money, I did not present it. I did not go through tho account with Mr Oppenheimer when the balance was struck. Mr Oppenheimer came to me, and said he wanted me to go to Mr Fonton and get his chequo for the amount of £42 19s lOd. -he striking of the account was not tlie result of an inter view b.tweeu Mr Oppenheimer aud myself, Mr Oppeuheimer gave me tho account shewing the balance of £42 19s lOd, and I glanced in a cursory manner at it. I took it to Mr Fenton. If Mr Fenton said that I canio to him with Oppenheimer and said, " This is a wind-up of everything; he wants jou to give him your promissory note for £42 19s JOd," he says what is not true. (The question having been repeated, the witness said ho did not remember say ing what was attributed to bim; but he might have said it.) At the time Mr Op. penheimer handed mo tho statement, I h\d not compared it with my figures, and could not say if it was right or wrong. I did so hubsequently, and told Mr Fenton that Mr Oppenheimer's accouut was wroug Tho terms in the agreement were that I should receive 5 per cent, on all goods excepting barbed fencing wire, for which I was to get 2J per cent. The terms of the agreement were varied on the second trip 1 was still to receive 5 per cent, on the general run of goods, and 2J per cent, on barbed wire. There was another class of goods which I was to carry with me. On oleographs and jewellery I was to get 10 per cent, I did receive 10 per cent, on oleographs and jewellery on both trips, The only other alteration in tho agreement was that I was to receive £8 per month salary. I have not yet sent io an account for that salary. Tbis was the case for the defence. Mr Russell asked to be allowed to call Mr Karlinrefcreucc to the conversation between Mr Fenton and himself regarding the agreement, His Honor granted the request, but Mr Earl was not in attendance.

Mr Coleman commented on the working of the agreement with the object of shewing that it only applied to tbe first trip. He also pointed out that no demand upon Mr Jctts for money or goods had been proved throughout, Briefly reviewing the points of the case. Mr Coleman submitted that the plaintiff should be nonsuited. Mr Russell, in hia address, said tho defence had appatently endeavoured to set up a charge of fraud ogiinst Mr Earl and Mr Oppenheimer. Mr Coleman disclaimed any intention to do anything of the kind. Mr Russell : "Well, perhaps I went too far -, 1 will withdraw that statTtment,

Mr Russell commented on the fact that Mr Earl had been subpo.ncd as a witness, and had chosen rather ungraciously to tho Court not put in an appearance. Mr Russell addressed the Court for the plaintiff, answering the points raised, and contending that the amount for tho Court to give judgment for, was the sum which Mr Fentoa became liable for, under the guarantee, irrespective of any sum which Mr Jeffs may have earned by commission or otherwise.

His tiouour promised to look into the authorities quoted, aud give judgment next Monday.

The full cast appear in our adver tising columns, and it will be seen tbat the company is not only a strong ono numeri cally, but also in regard to the talent of the individual members comprising it.

THREE YEARS experience have shewn by demonstration that a nimblo 6d. is better than a slow Is., and that, notwithstanding tho close imitation and keen competition to whioh wo hgve^boer^sjipjeotoaj the present, tho publio^ea^rtocriiniiiating between tho plan adopted at the Arcado of marking tho goods at tho samo universal low price, and the course now boing adopted Uy Bomoof our competitors-marking a fow lines 50 per cent, below tho prices at which they have (or years supplied.tho samo goods to tho Auck land public. During our three years RESIDENCE IN tho City our prices have remained the samo we commenced at in High-street, and though in the plan we havo pursued -.viz., supplying out good, upon a lower tariff of profits OiaD Hitherto known in Auckland, we havo incurred thodispleasuroof a few of our neighbours, we aro yet content to know wo have the approba tion of tho majority of our appreciating rata ens, and as long aa wo remain m AUCKLAND it will be our ondeavour honourably to niaintaui tho position in which wo havo been placed bj the extensive patronage wo have received froir tho inhabitants of Town and Country, to whon wo tender our sincere thanks. new _H OODSON'S.
