Thomas Lee : lam a sharebroker livingin Reefton. On the 20th May, I sold Mr Roulston, as clerk for Mr Bowman, 100 Treasures at 6s 6d, and 50 shares in the Keep-it-Dark at 345., and booked in the sale note on the 2?nd, and got the cheques, but they were not paid. I then referred to Roulston, and he said he had not got the money from the buyer, who refused to take them, and said I had better re-sell the shares, which I did, with the loss of the commission. I subsequently sold 150 Treasures for Mr Bowman at 5s 6d. Fifteen shillings waa payable to me as commission on the Treasures, and £2 2s 6d on the Darks. Delivery on Monday morning of share* purchased on Saturday previous would be within the terms "reasonable time." Three or four days after purchase would be a reasonable time for delivery. By Mr Lynch : If I was instructed to buy shares on a Saturday at a certain price, I would not buy on those instructions on the Monday following without fresh instructions, particularly in a foiling market. This closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr Lynch having opened the case for the defence, called the ' following evidence : — Anthony Gin : I am a miner living in Beefton, and recollect meeting Roulston on the Saturday night : I asked him if he had 250 Golden Treasures for sale at 6a 6d, and he said he had only got 100, I told him 100 would not do for me. I wanted 250 ; he asked me to wait until 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, and he would procure the 250. Saw him at that hour, and he said he could not get them. He asked me to wait till Monday, but I told him I would not, and that he need not bother himself further about the matter. He asked me to buy 50 Darks at 345., but I told him I would not until I saw the mine. On the Tuesday following, I saw him again, and he told me that he had bought 250 Treasures and 50 Darks. I told him he had done so without my order. I said, however, that I did not care that I would take the 50 Darks, but he refused to let met have them unless I took the lot. After I got the summons, I saw Mr Bowman,and told him thatl was a foreigner, and that rather than go to Court I would make him a present of £10. Am quite clear that I told Roulston that I should have the shares en the Saturday night. By Mr Jones : lam sure Roulston did not offer me the 250 Treasures on Saturday night. I offered the £10 rather than. „ go to Court. , This closed the case for the clefenosv His Worship said he had. not the sight. est doubt as to the way in vhichjhft ' judgment should go.
