SUPREME COURT.
CIVIL BUSINESS AT HOKITIKA. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hokitika, June 24. In an appeal from the warden’s decision cancelling timber areas in the Hokitika gorge, counsel for appellant raised the question of the legality' of the appointment of respondent as act-ing-mining registrar at Hokitika. The point was upheld that no mining registrar had been appointed, therefore, no acting-registrar had the power to sue. The appeal was therefore upheld. The suit of the Pine Milla, Ltd., versus Orr Bros., a claim for £126, was heard as far as plaintiff’s case was concerned. Counsel for defendant raised non-suit pointe as to pleadings, plaintiff then asking leave to amend the plaint and for defendant to answer questions either of contract or torts involved.
His Honor agreed with the contention, but notified the defence it would be ■entitled to an adjournment. This was asked for, and the ease was adjourned to the September sittings, costs (£9 ss) being allowed defendant.
