ONEHUNGA MAGISTRATE'S COURT.
THIS DAY,
(Before Mr T. Hutchison, S.M.)
Andrew Cunningham v. Ming Quong, claim £38 for the loss of a horse throtigh falling down a well while grazing in the defendant's paddock. .This ease was heard last Court day, and His Worship in giving judgment said the point was this: Ws.s the defendant guilty of negligence? and was that negligence an effective cause of the resulting damage? The case did not turn upon any omission of the defendant in regard to the well, but in regard to the fence. It was proved that the dividing fence was defective, and thi:; was clearly negligence in the defendant. Through this defect in the' fence the plaintiff's horse escaped. If the defendant had "kept his fence in good order the horse could not have fallen down the well. He, therefore, gave judgment for the plaintiff for £35 and cost Auckland Star, Volume XXX, Issue 92, 20 April 1899, Page 5
