FATHER AND SON AT LAW.
Share-farming Disagreement. Judgment was given by Judge Moule in the County Court yesterday in the claim made by Victor Barclay, of Melton, by his next friend, James Henry Turner, of Melton Park, Melton, farmer, against his father Edward Henry Barclay, of Melton also a farmer Victor Barclay had sought the return of a cheque for 126/18/6 or alternatively that sum as damages for alleged illegal detention. He also claimed 123/10/- being the proceeds of the sale by Edward Barclay of 190 bags of oats, less 41 money expended, and labour supplied by the father.
The disagreement arose in connection with share- farming enterprise into which Victor Barclay had entered with Turner who is his uncle. Edward Barclay had assisted his son in working the land, and in taking off the crop. Victor Barclay alleged that his father had retained his share of the proceeds of the crop. The defence was that the son received the cheque as agent for the father.
Judge Moule gave judgment for Victor Barclay on the first claim, and directed that the cheque be returned to him by the Court. On the second claim, he gave judgment for Victor Barclay for 65/10/, with costs of the whole action. With regard to the judgment for 65/10/, Judge Moule granted a stay till March 1924. I have asked Mr Hogan to communicate to the plaintiff certain moral obligations under which I believe he is," concluded Judge Moule.
Mr Hogan (instructed by Messers Godfrey and Godfrey) appeared for Victor Barclay, and Me Magennis (instructed by Messers Dugdale and Cerber) for Edward Barclay.
