APPEAL COURT.
Per Press Association. Wellington, April 2!). The appeal in the case the Public Trustee v, The Commissioner of Stamp., was dismissed with costs on the highest 'Scale as from a distance. This is the case in which a bequest was left fin building an Anglican Cathedral in Dunedin on which a tax of ,t:;ijS2 was claimcil and appealed against. The Appeal Court s:iid the courts in New Zealand held tliat the word ''charitable" in the Act was not used in its technical sense. It was employed in English Acts, and did not apply'to gifts to religious sects or denominations. The.present bequest was not a gift iu the popular sense, nor such a gitt as is exempted from taxation.
It is understood leave will be asked to appeal to the l'rivv Council.
