APPEAL COURT.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, last night.
The Appeal Court delivered judgment in the case, Golden Horseshoe Dredging Company v. Anderson. The Court was unanimously of opinion that the decision of Mr Justice Williams, that the action must be heard at Christchurch, must be upheld. The Court held the view that the incorporation or registration of the plaintiff company was no part of the cause of action sued on by such company ; that in the present case the cause of action sued on hau accrued before tiie sealing of the contract by the company, and that the action is one for breach of contract alleged to have occurred at Christchurch, and not for a money debt payable in Dunedin. On all these grounds the Court held that no material part of the cause of action arose in Dunedin, and the case must b.c tried ut Christchurch, where defendant resides. Tho appeal was dismissed with costs on tho lowest scale. No other judgments were delivered, and tho Court adjourned to Saturday morning.
