UNANIMOUSLY UPHELD. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. Argument has concluded in the case of Mere Roihi and others v. the Assets Company, Limited, in the Court of Appeal. The Court unanimously allowed the Appeal, holding that plaintiffs had separate interests from the plaintiffs in the fortnor actions against the Company in reference to the same lands, and that they ought not, therefore, to bo barred by decisions in those actions. The Court also held that the case raises tho substantial question of law as to whether the facts disclosed by the statement' of claim do not distinguish it from previous actions in reference to the same lands. Costs were allowed appellants in the Supreme Court only, the appeal having been in forma pauperis, but' certain allowances were made appellants for disbursements in connection with the appeal.
