A TRIVIAL CASE.
HAWERA, Last Night. In the Hawera Magistrate's Court, Mr Kendrick, S.M., heard an unusual case to-day. The Hawera County Council proceeded against the chairman and an employee of the Waimate West County Council for cutting a road within the Hawera County. Owing to a dispute between the two bodies respecting the upkeep of the road, the Waimate Council had applied for a commission, and while collecting evidence took two engineers to inspect the road, and it was cut to ascertain the depth of metal, the controlling body's permission not being asked for. It was admitted that the road was undamaged. The case was dismissed as trivial, but the Waimate Council was ordered to pay the Hawera solicitor's fee of £1 la and 13s costs.
