• Event: The Sydney Morning Herald, 14 Dec 1929. NO. 2 Jury Causes.
(Before Mr. Acting Justice Hammond and juries.)
BUYING A STEAM ORGAN.
Beecroft v The Public Trustee.
This action was brought by Linda Beecroft against the Public Trustee to recover £550, the return of a deposit and damages, for alleged breach of warranty. The declaration set out that the action was brought against the Public Trustee as the administrator of the estate and effects of one Frank Lauret, deceased. The plaintiff was the wife of a showman and proprietor of a merry-go-round which was used at Sydney shows, and ran a circuit of country fairs and carnivals thoughout the year. Mrs. Lauret, widow of the deceased, interviewed the Beecrofts, and induced them to consider a proposal to purchase an organ imported by Lauret for their business, assuring them that it was capable of playing several beautiful tunes, such as "The Blue Danube," Mrs. Beecroft decided to buy the instrument in her own name, and, after interviewing the Public Trustee, paid him £ 300 deposit, and gave a promissory note for £ 225, being the balance of the purchase money. The instrument was eventually tested under required conditions, but refused to play a note. The declaration set out that the warranty had been that the organ was in good working condition, and would play and give forth certain musical sounds, whereas it gave forth no sound at all.
The Public Trustee in his defence pleaded never indebted, and denied that he had made any promise or warranty whatever.
Mr. R. R. Kidston and Mr. Telfer (instructed by Messrs. Walter Dickson and Co.) appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. W. F. L. Owen (instructed by Mr. F. L. Rolin) for the defendant.
The plaintiff was non-suited on the ground that the evidence disclosed no warranty as alledged in the declaration.
