The Half-Holiday Question.
• AN IMPORTANT DECISION. (per press association.) Wellington, This Day. In the appeal against the conviction under th"c Shop Act from Grey town, Judge Richmond held there "was nothing in the contention that " January next " of the Act meant January 1896 as such an interpretation vaolated the ordinary value of grammatical construction. Prima facia every instrument speaks from its date or time of execution. There was another objection which His Honor considered fatal. The meeting of the Borough Council had been insufficiently advertised as one advertisement was too late aud the others premature because the time they were inserted the Act was not in operation. The connection was therefore quashed with no costs.
