At a short sittings of the Court of Appeal this morning, judgment -was given dismissing the application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council in the case of Blunden and *the Oxford Road Board. The Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, stated that it was unnecessary to decide between the conflicting authorities upon the question how far other claims arising out of the same facts can be taken into account in considering whether the amount of £500 was involved in the judgment sought to be appealed against. In the present case the affidavits filed had not brought the case within the authorities relied on, it not appearing that any other claims had actually been made against the Road Board, nor that any other claims which might be made would, together with the sum recovered in tfie present action, amount to £500, exclusive of costs and other expenses, which the Court could not take into account. The application -was refused on this ground, with costs, £5 ss. The Court adjourned to February sth.
