(Before H. G, Seth Smith, Esq., District Judge.) DEFBKDSD CASKS.-BS3EBVED JUDGMENT. JAMK9 AND ANDHEW McLEOD V. HBMRY Urett; claim CB2 10s, breach of agreement.— Sir Theo. Cooper for plaintiffs, Mr E. Hoskcth for dof ondant.—Hia Worship said that tho action ha<X beon brought to recover tho price of timber Hlloged either to have been sold and delivered by tho plaintiffs to the defendant, or else to have uee't bargained for ami Bold. CO:uiiiK as il did within the lith sec tion of the Statute of Frauds, tho !lrst question he had to consider was whether there wus any memo, in writing to satisfy that statute. Now, ono or two letters and a considerable number of telegrams had been put in evidence, and with these" it had boen said that a memo. in writing could bo arrived at. In looking them through he found that they failed in «t least ono proof,* not lmre—that was to say they did not contain the prico sgrecil upon bo i.woen tho parties. The law appeared to him to lay it down tolerably clearly that in a case of this kind, when no prico had been specifically agreed upon, the jntiino. neod contain no prico, and a reasonable price might be implied. But where the price had been agreed upon, then it must be contained in tho memo, or olso the memo, does not contain tho tcrmß of tho b&rg&in. Now, in thiß caso ho found that tho prico of 9d per foot had been agreed upon verbally. Upon that ground alone it must bo held that there was no memo. Then there was the question Whether thero had been any acceptance or receipt of any part of the goods. Now, no doubt thero was receipt of a portion of tho goods. Tho timbor was sontby the plaintiffs by railway, and ho ivas not sure that tho dolivory of the railway department would not bo a sufficient receipt. ■Some of It, at any rate, was delivered to de.'on tiant'a carter, and actually taken by him to defendant's own promises, so it was clear that there was roceipt of part of the goods. Ho was inclined to think, however, that there had not been a sufficient acceptance on the part of %ho defendant, because it seomed to him after tracing his way through tho maze of in ■conßistent deoisiona upon this point, that tho carrier might be agont for tho receipt of the KOOds, but not agent for their acceptance The ■defendant pafd tho froight to the railway de partment, •and then took a portion of tho goods oy Ukj a«6 of his servant to his own premises. But that was all. As soon as ho saw tho Ttooda ho at onco said: " That is not tho timber I bought," and thon took Btops ta have it returned. Consequently ho con sidered himself justiitcd in llnding us a rauttor of fact, that theio had been no accepUmco with in tho meaning of tho Statute. His >V orship wont on to deal with tho facts of the case. Tho dofendaut wont down to plaintlll'a' prem ises, saw certain tlmbor thoro, and explained to ono of the plaintiffs that he wanted it for & particular purpose When he came back to Auckland ho telegraphed to plaintiffs, inquiring what was tho total quantity of kauri on their hands. His Worship was of opinion from the Burrounding evidence, which he criti cally examined, that this could only ho takoli to mean the mottled kauri defendant had seen. Ho said it would require very clear and cogent ovidonco indeed, to justify him in holding that defendant accepted what was no use to him what indeed ho felt warranted iti saying defen dant never intonded to buy, and which he novor knew of until delivered on his own premisos. Assuming them that tho contract was for tho ni«ttled kauri which dofendant had scon on plaintiff.,' premises, there wore two grounds on which de'endant was justified in repudiat ing tho timber supplied to him. In the first place the inclusion therein of 700 feet of what appeared to bo little more than rubbish would be sufficient ground. Bu then, again, two flitches of tho bost timbor in tho heap seen by dofendant wero taken out. The plaintiffs might not have intended to sell these two Hitches, but then they formed part of the heap which dofondant Baw and which ho believed ho had bought. Therefore, tho plain titt'B had not complied with the contract both by tailing to send the goods which had boen con tracted for, and also by not selling all that de fendant had intended to buy. Consequently, the defendant was entitled to succeed in the action.—Mr Cooper accepted a nonsuit.—Judg ment was given against plaintiffs for costs.
