  " DELORAINE CIRCUIT COURT OF REQUESTS. THURSDAY, MAY 5. Before his Honour Jno. Whitefoord, Esq. £50 JURISDICTION.
  WYATT V. HEWITT. Claim for £18 12s 6d, balance due for upwards of 17 tons of hay sold and delivered by plain tiff to defendant, who, after payment of £35 on account, resisted further payment on the ground of the hay having been badly got up by plain tiff and mixed with a quantity of rubbish, making it practically useless to him. Mr G. T. Collins appeared for the plaintiff, and it was agreed between the parties that the case should be heard before the Commissioner only, without a jury. The evidence of the plaintiff was to the effect that about the 7th January defendant came to his farm, looked at his crops, and agreed to take the hay at £3 a ton, plaintiff to make it, cut, cart, and stack it in defendant's yard; witness cut the crop of defendant's hay, and carried out the agreement, delivering 17 tons 2qrs 6lbs; Mc'Mahon, who was employed by witness, ascer tained the quantity. He had received from de fendant a horse valued at £15, and £20 in cash. defendant made no complaint about the quality of the hay while the stack was being built in his yard ; it was not in witness's agreement to thatch the stack, but he put a little on to oblige defendant ; the hay did not contain a large quantity of rubbish; the stack was made rather larger than the de fendant wished. Terence Hewitt deposed that he measured the stack in March last ; Mr Hewitt refused to take it over ; it was a fair sample of hay and got up green. For the defence the defendant deposed that he agreed with plaintiff's father for from 25 to 30 tons of prime hay, and plaintiff came and asked if witness would take the hay from him instead of his father ; he went to see defendant's hay, and objected to docks, briars, and dande lion, and told plaintiff he would have nothing to do with it if that was in it ; plaintiff built the stack badly, and agreed to thatch it but did not ; the wet had gone through to the bottom and had spoilt the stack on one side ; witness was not present during the building of the stack ; he produced samples of the hay; he was using it and had used about a ton. George Burgess deposed that the first portion of the hay was in very bad state, but it was a good deal better now; the stack was not put up in a workman like manner and wet had gone through to the bottom of the stack; he valued it at from 30s to 35s a ton; he had sold good hay this year at £2 a ton. George McCleary deposed that the hay was in very bad order, and he would not give above 30s a ton for it ; there was a portion of wet hay in the middle, and there was rubbish in the stack ; he had examined it that morning. His Honour considered some abatement of the claim was due for the bad quality of the hay, and delivered a verdict for plaintiff for £14 2s 6d."

Always endeavouring to do good, and cheerfully chatting with all with whom he came in contact, deceased was a favourite of everyone's. Up till but a short time before he died, "Daddy" Burgess, as he was familiarly called, kept moving, neither memory nor intellect being in any way impaired. His sickness was of but brief duration, the system apparently running right down. The deceased was born at Cheeseborough, in the county of Somersetshire, England in 1819. He was married fairly young to Miss Grace Difford, and came with his wife to this state in 1851. On arrival he engaged with a Mr Samuel McKenzie, residing at Penrith, where he remained for four and a half years.

He was sexton of St Mary Magdalene Church for over 30 years. He leaves behind one son, Mr John Burgess, and one daughter, Mrs W J Thompson both of St Marys.
  
  The funeral, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, was in one or two aspects a wide departure from the ordinary course of things.

Accordingly he requested that pupils of this parochial school, with members of the choir, should sing some favourite hymns in the house where the body lay, afterwards leading the funeral procession with melody of like character. It is pleasing to report that in both particulars the request was complied with.

The remains were carried, principally by the grandsons, to their resting place in the C.E. portion of the general cemetery, the cortege being lengthy and representative in token of universal esteem in which deceased was held.

  BURGESS - At St Marys, on November 23 1903, Henry John Burgess, aged 52 years.
  I saw him suffering day by day
  It caused me bitter grief
  To see hm slowly pine away
  And could not give relief
  Not dead to me, I loved him dear,
  Not lost but gone before,
  He lives with me in memory still,
  And will forevermore.
