WANGANUI RACECOURSE CASE
UNPLEASANT CONSEQUENCES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, Last Night. What i r .known as the racecourse case was closed on Saturday. Some months ago the Jockey Club prohibited the public from using what had long been regarded as a right-ot-way across the racecourse. In order to test the matter, certain residents living on the farther side of the course pulled down the barrier which the Jockey Club had erected. The dub took proceedings against these men, and lost the case. The Club then carried the case to the Appeal ■ Court and won, costs to the amount of £ ISO being given against the defendants. The costs were not paid, and a bailiff was put into the .homes of six of the defendants, who are working men. Members of what was known as the Racecourse Case Committee were taking? steps to protest against the Jockev Club's action, but the matter was declared closed on Saturday, on Hie J.ockev Club announcing that it would proceed no further.
