COURT OF APPEAL
A UNIQUE CASE. By Telegraph,.—Press Association. Wellington, Tuesday. In the ca-se Morland v. Hales, heard at the last sitting of the Appeal'Cburt, judgment was given for the appellant Morland, who had obtained an option to purchase an estate in .Marlborough. During the continuance of the action, under the impression that Morland had abandoned his rights, the estate was sold to another. The question for the Court was, who was entitled to the property? They held that Morland had not abandoned his option, and his position was superior to the later comer. Costs were granted on the highest scale. This case is unique in being the first of the kind, and one in which it was admitted it was most difficult to arrive at a decision, as all parties had acted in good faith.
