LEASING POWER OF PUBLIC TRUSTEE.
A SUPREME COURT DECISION, By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Chapman heard legal argument on two originating summonses, under the Declaratory Judgment Aot, 1908, concerning certain leases contained in New Plymouth land registry. The parties were Cecil John Hawken v. the Public Trustee, and Amy Catherine Mercer v. the Public Trustee. Plaintiffs sought a declaratory order determining the construction of the leases and the validity of the rights of plaintiffs to renewals. Counsel explained that there was no dispute between the plaintiffs and the Public Trustee, but a doubt had been raised as to the power of the tetter to grant certain leaaeg for a period of ten years. His Honor held that the Public Trusted had power to grant leases under the Act of 1913, and plaintiffs were entitled to such leases.
