In the Supreme Court to-day, in an action by the Press Agency against the Poverty Bay Standard for an injunction to restrain defendant from publishing telegraphic news obtained by plaintiff's without their consent, Mr Samuel, as counsel for plaintiffs, applied in Banco for an order to remove the demurrer, raising the question of the copyright relied on by plaintiffs to the Court of Appeal.
