INTERPROVINCIAL.
(BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. Mr Justice Edwakds gave judgment this morning in the case Mitchell versus the Waugauui Borough Council, which is of considerable interest to municipalities. The plaintiff is a butcher, and he com plained that the Borough Council refused to grant him a meat purveyor's license because he declined to fall in with the Council's abattoir scheme and preferred to kill at his own slaughterhouse. Mr Edwards said the Council had attempted to impose conditions on the plaintiff which the law did not authorise, and ha ordered a mandamus to issue against the Council compelling it to grant a license to plaintiff. Mr Bell, who appeared for the Council, asked the stay of the mandamus peuding an appeal, but Mr Edwards said the plaintiff had a very clear case and refused to entertain the application. Fielding, Last Night. A young man named Win. Bloomficld was killed at Rangiwahia yesterday while bushfelling.
