HARBOUR BOARD AND BOROUGH COUNCIL.
FULL COURT'S DECISION. (TBES3 ASSOCIATION TBLIGKAH.) WELLINGTON, April 21. In the Court of Appeal to-day, in the case Timaru Harbour Board v. Timaru Borough Council, the appeal allowed costs on the middle scale as from a distance. The Court delivered its judgment through Mr Justice Ostler, and held that the land was reclaimed as part of the work for the protection, improvement, and utilisation from the sea, brought about by the work undertaken for the protection of the harbour, and must be treated as part of that work. The particular land comes within the very definition of harbour works, and was therefore exempt from Section 2 (k) of the Eating Act, and no rates were payable in respect to it. The other Judges of the Full Court concurred.
