DEMOLITION OF A BUILDING
A WELLIXCTOX CASE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Sight.
The Magistrate to-day gave a decision of interest concerning a building on Lambton Quay. The building was condemned by the Health Department over three years ago, and the owner (Hamilton Gilmer) then entered into an agreement to pull it down at the end of three years, When that period expired the corporation brought an action in the Magistrate's Court for the demolition of the building, and the magistrate ordered it to come down within thirty days, holding that the agreement entered into by the parties prevented the owner denying tliat the building was insanitary. The magistrate said if his judgment was upset on appeal he would give a decision on the facts. The Appeal Court held that there was no appeal. Accordingly the corporation proceeded against the owner for demolition of the building. To-day the magistrate held that the building was not unfit for occupation, and dismissed the application for the order that the building be taken down. ; «.
