+ Toomey who appeared for the appellant has
put before us everything that could be said in favour of
this appeal. He has done it with clarity and with a great
deal of commendable candour and I may say the court has been
considerably assisted by what he has said. This is particularly
so as we have had a voluminous transcript in a case in which
the indorsement of the writ and the statement of claim have
been departed from both in the admission of the evidence and
in the consideration of issues which probably did not arise
on the pleadings or were not covered by the indorsement.
However, having regard to what did happen at the
trial and the way in which the matter has been dealt with
py the Full Court, we have listened to an argument by Mr.
Toomey which has ranged beyond the pleadings and has travelled
widely through the facts. He hes asked us to look at, and we
have looked at, all the facts which he claims - and I do not
think there were any others that he could have claimed - would
establish a right in his client to succeed in the action.
Having heard all that ne sas said and having
considered those facts, the court is of opinion that this
appellant has not made out a case and cannot make out a case
that as at the date of writ commencing this action there was
any sum due to him in respect of the price of the 20 machines
which had been delivered to the respondents beyond the sum
which at that time had already been paid. I say this not
merely looking at the matter from the point of view of the
pleadings but from the point of view of a consideration of
the whole of the material put in evidence, the relevant parts
of which Mr. Toomey has brought to our attention.
As in our opinion the appellant cculd not make out,
as at the date of the writ, a claim to a sum for the price
of those 20 machines, this appeal should be dismissed and
with costs.
