NOT FOR PUBLICATION.
The judicature of New Zealand has arrogated to itself the right to decide what should, or should not bo puhlishedi in the newspaper press of the Dominion concerning judicial happenings. This is an implication that the Press has not the ability to discriminate between what is, and is not, of public interest. As the judicature is subordinate, in a measure, to the Ministry of the day, it is not unreasonable to expect that the precedent established by. the Judges will be followed by Ministers of the Crown. The Press of NewZealand may soon find itself under the ban of censorship as obtains in Continental countries. When that time arrives, we can say good-bye to British freedom, and the most wicked acts of cruelty, oppression, and corruption may be practised under the cloak of secrecy.
