Judgment in the civil caso of Zohrab and Co. v. Sarah Tilsley was givan by tho Stipendiary Magistrate on Monday morn ing. Tho claim was for .£22 10s, commis sion on the sale of the City Hotel to Mr McCormack, plaintiffs contending that tho sale had been brought about by their in troduction of the purchaser. His Worship pointed out that Mr Young, who acted for Mr McCormack in the sale, had said he was sure he broached the purchase of the hotel to Mr McCormack, and not the latter to him, and in face of that direct and posi tive evidence he could not say it was owing to tho plaintiffs' introduction that the sale took place, or that the plaintiff in any way brought about the sale of the hotel. He therefore gave judgment for defendant, with £2 18s costs. Mr Skerrett appeared for tho rdaintiffs, and Mr Edwards for the defendant.
The Stipendiary Magistrate gave judg ment on Tuesday in the case in which H. W. Batger sued Mrs Moeller for .£SO, damages for breach of contract. His Worship said he could not find that Mr Batger had sustained any actual damage. He was entitled to recover nominal damages, and he therefore gave judgment for him for £2, with costs £1 7s.
