CEMETERY IN A BOROUGH.
AN UNUSUAL CASE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the Court of Appeal argument in the case of the Mayor of Wellington v. the Mayor of Karori was taken this morning, an appeal from the decision of Mr. Justice Chapman. Prior to the creation of Karori as a borough, the City Corporation had acquired and opened as a cemetery a hundred acres in the Karori district. Subsequently to the creation of the borough, the corporation acquired and dedicated as a cemetery a further area of 30 acres. By the Cemeteries Aet, 1909, no cemetery may be established within the limits of a borough or town' district. The defendant borough moved for an injunction to restrain the City Corporation from opening this new area as a cemetery, and an injunction was granted by Mr. Justice Chapman, who held that the prohibition of the establishment of a cemetery applied also to the extension of an existing cemetery. Argument is proceeding.
