(From our own correspondent.) Dunedin, Thursday, S p.m. In hanco Judge Williams delivered a judgment in the Princes-street, arbitration case, granting an injunction to stay further proceedings. Thus the arbitration awards are set aside. He determined the Corporation had no power to delegate its power to a third party (the arbitrators). Leave of appeal was granted. A rule for a new trial in Blakely v. Holland, in which the plaintiff recovered an action for malicious prosecution, was made absolute. The Waste Land Board have decided to move Judge Johnston to deliver his judgment re the attachment to certain members of the Board. The prorogation of the Assembly is definitely tixed for the 21st instant. The Hundreds authorised during the last session of the Provincial Council have been sanctioned by the Governor, and gazetted.
