QUESTION OF RATES.
By Telegraph—Press Association. FEILDING, January 28. An important reserved judgment was delivered by Mr A. D. Thomson, S.M., in the Feilding Court to-day, in the case of the Feilding Borough Council v. Archbishop Redwood and Father O'Meara. Defendants claimed exemption from rates because Archbishop Redwood's property held the convent and a school, and Father O'Meara's was a playgruond. Archbishop Redwood's case, it was shown that the nuns used the convent in-which to teach music and singing to other than pupils of the school. The Magistrate therefore ruled that the convent land was liable to pay rates. In Father O'Meara's cak, where there were three sections, not divided by a fence, to which children had access, but on which a cow was grazed, defendant wis \ordered to pay rates on one section. The action was a friendly one brought forward to settle a legal question as to payment of rates.
