We understand that a writ for £6,500 was served on the Wellington Corporation to-day by Mr W. T. L. Travers, acting on behalf of Mr Corcoran, one of the sureties of Messrs O’Malley & Pepperill, for the Te Aro reclamation contract. It will be remembered that Messrs O’Malley & Pepperill assigned their contract to Mr Corcoran, but the Council refused to ratify the assignment, and seized the plant and took over the contract themselves. Mr Corcoran now claims £2500 the value of the plant, and £4000 damages for the alleged wrongful seizure. It is understood that the plant is also claimed on behalf of the creditors of Messrs O’Malley and Pepperill.
