Hutt Valley Biographical Index and Genealogies website www.hbig.gen.nz Evening Post 24 Nov 1885 Mr Amelius Morland Smith was the defendant in an action brought in the Magistrate’s Court this morning, before Mr Wardell, R.M., by Mr James Cattell, sen., for the recovery of £100. Mr Chapman appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr H. S. Fitzherbert for the defendant. The plaintiff gave evidence that in September 1882 the defendant borrowed £100 from him, and signed an agreement to repay the amount, together with a bonus of £50, within three years. A further stipulation was also made by the defendant to pay plaintiff £12 per centum per annum interest, in monthly instalments of £1, until the debt was liquidated. It was alleged that no portion of the loan or the bonus had been paid. The plaintiff now abandoned the claim for the bonus. Jas. Salmon, clerk in Chapman & Fitzgerald’s office, proved that about six weeks ago defendant offered to give witness £50 cash, and a bill for the balance, £50, if a former summons was withdrawn. Mr Smith, however, failed to complete this offer. The defendant was called, and stated that he had paid interest on the loan. He had borrowed the money on the strength of some money which would come to him eventually by inheritance, and he would repay it. He had promised the bonus on account of Mr Cattell’s kindness in lending the money. He had told Mr Cattell that morning that he had no intention not to repay the amount, as he intended paying it whenever he came into the inheritance he spoke of. The defendant at present was not in a position to refund the loan, and it was an understanding that the loan should not be repaid till he came into the legacy he expected. After refusing counsel for the defendant a nonsuit, Mr Wardell, R.M., permitted the plaintiff to make a technical amendment in his claim, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned to Thursday afternoon next.
