APPEAL COURT.
♦ County Finance. (PKK PRKSS ABBOCIATrON. ) Wellington, This day. The Appeal Court is occupied hearing the case of the Hutt County Council, appellants, against Crawford and other ratepayers, iv the Makara riding. ~ The respondents appeal from the I decision of the Chief Justico who granted an injunction against the [Council, restraining it from levying rates, as the. Council had not complied with the provision of section 449 of the County Councils Act, 1886, which section provides that the general rates be levied separately in each, riding in accordance with the expendij ture required to be provided in such riding respectively. The Chief Justice had held that the I County was bound by a former decision of the Appeal Court xinder the Counties Act, 1876", and that both statutes contemplated separate finance for each riding. The point in dispute is an important one, for it goes to the very root of the whole system of County finance. The argument will probably extend over to-day. * (
