S.M.. to town clerks appearing \ in court on behalf of municipal cor- | porations in by-law cases promises to raise a mild storm, j The town clerk, Onehunga, lias rei ported to his council that on June k !Mr Luxford refused to allow him to j appear in a by-law case contending that a duly-authorised solicitor should be engaged by the informant, and that the profession should be protected. The Onehunga Council, in committee, accepted Mr. Luxford’s ruling, and recommended that in future a solicitor should be employed. When this recommendation came up for discussion at the meet! ✓ of the council last evening, the Mayor. Mr. W. C.
