APPEAL COURT
RAILWAY SITERAXXUATIOX CASE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Monday. The Appeal Court delivered judgment b.v Air. Justice Williams iu 'the case Douds v. the Minister of Railways. It held that section 1(1 of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund Act, IMB, dearly showed that continuous service only was contemplated. If the retiring contributor joined the service again his previous service was to count lor superannuation, he would be getting an allowance for the period durinn-which he had not contributed, because when he first retired his contributions were returned to him. That certainly was not the intention of the Act. There was nothing whatever from which he inferred that the person retiring from the service had any other right than to have •lis money back. It was unnecessary to .nvoke the Act of 1908 to construe the Act of 1002. Plaintiff had the rights winch that gave him. Apart from that be would have no rights in respect of the period ot service before his resignation m 1800. K
