Court of Appeal.

THE APPEAL OF LOUIS CHEMIS REFUSED. (Per Press Association.) Wellington, This Day. The Appeal Court opened this morning. There are only five cases set down. The first taken was the appeal on behalf of Louis Chemis, under the special Act passed this session. Mi Jellicoe applied for a new trial on the ground that the evidence at the former trial five x yeara ago, in possession of prisoner's counsel, and the evidence since discovered might have led the jury to a different conclusion, and secondly, the verdict was obtained by unfair practices on the part of two of the Crown witnesses It was pointed out, however, that the Act only enabled the application to be made on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence, and the Court unanimously held they could not look to anything putside this, but only to the evidence at the trial, Mr Jellicoe thereupon said he could not go on, and the Court refused the motion.
