THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
* . Important Decision.
Cable News Protected.
Injunction Against a Wairarapa Newspaper.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, This day. Before the Chief Justice to-day application was made by the Press Association for an interim injunction restraining the proprietors of the H-airarupa Scandaid from publishing the association's cable news. The grounds of the application were that the Siondwd did not belong to the association, and though the proprietors had written to the association's solicitors undertaking not to publish the cables, in defiance of this promise they had repeatedly appropriated the news, contrary to the provisions of the Electric Lines Act. The application was granted, and unles3 the decision is subsequently reversed, it establishes the right of the association to protect its copyright by action in the Supreme Court as well as by proceeding in the Police Court.
