SUPREME COURT.
A QUESTION OF VENUE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The full court was sitting this afternoon to hear argument in two eases— Scott v. Gallagher and A. Mersar and Co. v. Welsh. The question is as to the true interpretation of rule 7, of the Supreme Court code, which states that where there are more than one town holding sittings of the Supreme Court in the same judicial district the place of trial shall he the town "most convenient to the residence of the defendant." Upon the answer to this question depends the place of trial for Supreme Court actions coming from many towns north of Marton, on the Main Trunk line. The question is whether actions should he tried at Wanganui or Palmerston North. In the first case Mr. L. Cohen appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. W. H. D. Bell for the defendant, and' in' the second case Mr. C. C. Hutton appeared' for the plaintiff and Mr. A. R. Mnek for the defendant. The cases are proceeding.
