Donnelly, have delivered judgment in an appeal bj* the executive committee of the Racing Conference against the decision of the Greymouth District Committee in connection with the ownership of the horse Earthquake. The committee's decision was: "That evidence as to the ownership of Earthquake discloses grave doubte, but the committee is of the opinion that it is not sufficiently Conclusive to prove the present owner of the lioree to be other than Mrs. M.
