EXECUTORS OF THE LATE NATHAN JOSEPH V. TIERNEY.

This was an action on a promissory note, brought by the executors of the late Nathan Joseph against Michael Tierney, a farmer residing on the Wollombi brook. Amount claimed, with interest, £134 19s. 3d.

.

For the plaintiffs, Mr. Ellis ; attorney, Mr. Chambers. For the defendant, Mr. Briggs.

.

The case was partly heard at the last sittings, but was postponed at the request of defendant's counsel, on account of the illness of defendant's wife, who was described as a material witness in his business transactions. When the case was resumed to-day, a very lengthy and rather conflictory evidence ensued. His Honor ordered the case to be postponed until next sittings, for the production of plaintiff's account books.

.

BRADY V. LOCKHART.

This was an action to recover the value of a valuable horse entrusted to the defendant by the plaintiff. Damages claimed, £20. For the plaintiff, Mr. Mullen. For the defendant, Mr. Ellis ; attorney, Mr. Chambers.

.

This is a case of some interest to the public, as involving the liability of horse-breakers. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff, Patrick Brady, gave a horse to the defendant, Edward Lockhart, in February, 1858, to break it in for him, for which plaintiff was to pay 30s. to defendant. Whilst so engaged, the defendant had oc- casion to call with the horse on a person residing at the Westbrook. He dismounted and tied the horse with a rope to a stump in front of the house where he was going to. This stump was within a very short distance from the bank of the creek, which is very steep at this spot. The horse suddenly shied, drew back and broke the rope, and fell back over into the creek and was drowned.

.

His Honor held that, without attempting to say that the horsebreakers were entirely responsible for the cattle entrusted to their care, some gross negligence must have been incurred by the defendant in this case, as it was shown in evidence that about fifty yards from where he tied the horse to the stump there was a stockyard, into which he might have turned it, which would have prevented this accident. He therefore could only find a verdict for the complainant. Damages, £10, with costs.

.

EXECUTORS OF THE LATE NATHAN JOSEPH V. DORRINGTON.

This was an action for goods sold and supplied. Ver- dict for the plaintiff—£13 15s., with costs.
