[new ZEALAND PRESS ASSOCIATION.! Nelson, October 17. An important mining judgment was delivered at the District Court this morning, on an appeal from Warden Giles, from Hokitika. The question was whether the Warden can cancel part of a grant. Judge Broad ruled that as the greater includes the less, and as there is clear power to cuicei the whole, tiie Warden could, upon sufficient proof oi actual abandonment ot a specified part of any mining property, declare such part forfeited. He therefore dismissed the appeal and confirmed the Warden’s decision with costs. The judgment was delivered in Nelson at the request of the parties interested, but the Judge said it could not be. recorded until his next tiip to Hokitika, as he had no power to do any judicial action at Nelson affecting Westland.
