An application was made in the full Court for a writ of prohibition directing tho Arbitration Court to restrain its proceeding in tho disputo ovor tho rate of wages between tho hotel, club, restaurant and caterers employees’ union arid the caterers and restaurant kcopers association. Tho Arbitration Act specially exempts domestic servants from the scope ef operation, and the masters contend that their servants come within tho exemption, and that tho Arbitration Court has therefore no jurisdiction. Argument ensued as to whether tho Supremo Court could interfere with tho Court specially constituted by statute ; in fact it was contended that tho Arbitration Court might bo held to coordinate with tho Supreme Court. Tho Acting Chief Justieo ruled that tho Supremo Court had power to koep tho Arbitration Court within its jurisdiction if it interfered in a mattor which it had no right to deal with. Argument is proceeding on an application for a writ.
