SCHOOL ATTENDANCE CASE.
COMES BEFORE SUPREME COURT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Auckland, last night. The action of two Justices of the Peace in connection with a school attendance case heard in the Police Court last week is to form the subject of a case in the Supreme Court. The point is that “ the Justices convicted alleged defendant without allowing evidence to be called for the defence.” At the Supreme Court, in chambers this morning, before Mr Justice Conolly, Mr J. R. Reed made an application for a rule nisi calling on the two Justices who heard the case to appear at the Supreme Court, and show cause why prohibition of their decision should not issue. His Honor granted the rule nisi, returnable on August 7th. The two Justices will have to appear at the sitting of the Supreme Court in Banco on that day to show cause for their decision.
