N.Z. RACING CONFERENCE.

APPEALS DECIDED. - The judges appointed by the New Zealand Racing Conference to deal with appeals lodged sat in Wellington yesterday, and the result of their deliberations as handed to the press are as follow:— . :• : A JOCKEY'S LICENSE. .; In the matter of the appeal of Benjamin Deeley against the decision of the Auckland Metropolitan Committee, who confirmed the decision of the Takapuna Jockey Club, suspending the jockey's, license of the appellant for twelve months for jostling.— '''.'. Judgment. .The appellant, rode in the Cheltenham Handicap, run at Takapuna on November 27, 1909, when the stewards noticed at two ■ stages of the race certain sudden changes in the running of the horses which might be explicable by collisions having occurred. One of tho jockeys being (after the horses had boon placed and weighed in) found to have been injured, the stewards (without taking any steps, to question the results of tho race) decided to hold an inquiry after the conclusion of the meeting. \ . On i/ecember 30 a meeting'of .stew-ards-was h.eld (at .which, as was subsequently discovered, no quorum was present), and after hearing the evidence obtainable .the license of the appellant was suspended for twelve.months from the date of that meeting. The appellant, appealed to the Metropolitan Committee, who'allowed.the:appeal on the ground that no quorum had been present when .the decision was given. .In view of this decision having been on a technical objection, the Metropolitan Committee (as authorised by. Rule 5, Part 17, 'page 18) suspended the license to allow of further proceedings being taken. The: committee, of tho Takapuna Club (the. same persons as the stewards), then held another inquiry, at which most of the witnesses at the first inquiry verified their former evidence. The club's committee suspended ' the license for twelve months from the date of that decision (January 14, 1910). The ground of the decision was that appellant had jostled: horses, in the race, and :it is apparent.' from .the papers submitted: ;that the committee was. of opinion, that.at two-separate stages of tile, race appellant had jostled horses, ;iit':.thf) .one case -Devoiipbrt^and-in the ,qther- Jena. . The. clubls;committee was acting within its powers in'this decision (Rule part 17, page 18), notwithstanding; that the-horse ridden by appellant was not disqualified (Rule 2, Part 26, page.so). '': . . : ' -~ The appellant again appealed and the Metropolitan Committee, on February ,1, ; 1910, endorsed the decision of .the Takapuna Club. ■ v.. .'.'... The judges.do not find any evidence >,that appellant did jostle; Devonport (the'first jostle, alleged,-in: the race), and, in respect- of the alleged jostle with Jena, there is not; sufficient evidence" to satisfy, the judges that the jostle (for which no action was taken by the stewards to question the .result of the race) was; if it occurred, caused by ; . any wilful,. or' even, negligent,. act! of.'.the appellant. - The appeal is allowed, and the suspension of the. appellant's . license is hereby. qua'shed. ...;It .is. ordered that, ■ tße"~deposit "'lo'dged ( "by~the"'*~ appellant with the conference and with the Metropolitan : Committee be refunded. ■'•'■'■- ":;;;;;geor&e:'clieford:: -.- ••'•' .'. oliver' samtjel, '""-,. .
