The Court unanimously held that the tramway was not a work of " public utility" in the meaning of the. Act, but was a matter of private enterprise for private profit just as much as a baker's shop, which also might be called of " public utility" in a sense. (2.) That such a body as the County Council, possessing such limited power?, could not charge future revenue; first, because no similar body had power of dealing with future revenue ; and second, it was clear that the General Government had no intention of conferring any such power; therefore the contract on which the action in the Nelson Court was brought was clearly itltra vires, the County Council had no power to make any such contract, and the appeal was dismissed with costs. It was deemed unnecessary to review the other, ground of appeal. ■ In the case Receiver of Land Revenue of Southland v the Queen, cxpartc G. M. Bell, the Co"rt held that the written application is inchoate and incomplete without the personal appearance of the applicant before the Land Board. Tiib «o»o proaiinno of the. applicant was not a personal appearance in the eye of the law. It is only when his name is called in turn, and the sealed application opened in his presence, is personal appearance effected, and his application complete. The original written application then becomes an essential part of the whole complete application. Before his personal appearance it only secured priority of audience, Hence- the complete application was only effected on the 10th of July. The order in Conncil raising the price of lard to £3 came into operation on the earliest moment of that day, therefore the application was after the price had been raised. The judgment of the Court below was reversed with costg. Mr Buckley applied for leave to appeal to the Privy Council, which was granted.
