Judgment was given by Mr Rawson on Tuesday in the case Blakie v. Nisbet and others, a claim of £4O for injuries sustained in consequence of the contravention of the Southland County Council by-law, requiring cyclists to dismount 20 yards from an approaching horse, and by which the plaintiff was thrown from a buggy. Mr Rawson held that the by-law was unnecessarily restrictive of common law right, and oppressive, and therefore ultra vires. He also expressed the opinion that the defendants had not been guilty of culpable negligence, and gave judgment in their favour, with costs (£5 19s).
