THE AFFAIRS OF THE CENTEN
NIAL MAGAZINE COMPANY.
SYDNEY, Thursday. '
In the No. 2 Jury Court to-day a ease waa
heard in which Armitage Wilkinson sued L. J.
Brient to recover £724 12s. 10d., being the
amount of the principal and interest paid on
behalf of the defendant to the Mercantile Bank
unuer a caati credit bond bearing the date of
17th Mareh, 1890, entered into between the
parties to the suit as sureties for the Centennial
. Magazine Company, now defunct, to the Mer
cantile Bank. The defendant pleaded that he
was induced to join in tbe execution of the bond
owing to the misrepresentation of the plaintiff
relative to the financial condition of tho Cen ten-
nial Magazine Company. He asserted that plain
tiff had represented that the company was in a
solvent oondition, and would soon obtain about
£2000 from orders given for publication, wherens
the company waa in a hopelessly insolvent state
ot the time. The jury gave a verdiot for the
plaintiff for tbe full amount. The case has oeou-
pied several days.
