Mr Justice Ostler gave reserved judgment in the case of Robert AVilliam Cox and Elizabeth AValsli, claim for £650 against the estate of tho late Mr John McCombe, horse trainer, awarding plaintiffs £650, but without interest. This was the sequel to a case heard on AA’ednesday concerning an alleged loan to Mr McCombe in 1926.
The plaintiffs were Robert AV. Cox, of Christchurch, and Elizabeth Walsh, of Dalgety’s Court, St. Kilda, Melbourne, executrix of the will of the late James AA'aleh, deceased, of Christchurch. Defendants were Ernest Roland Burton and James Gibson Patterson, both of Dunedin, accountants, administrators of the estate of the late Air John McCombe, horse trainer. Mr Cox said that the £650 was lent to Mr McCombe when going to Australia in 1926. A cheque given in payment had been dishonoured. The defence consisted of a general denial, with the further submission that if the amount was owing, which was denied, then tho debt was a wager, null and void, under tho Gaming Act, 1908.
