A NEW ZEALAND COMPANY'S APPEAL CASE. ♦ [PRESS ASSOCIATION.] (Received December 17, 9.55 a.m.) London, 16th December. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has dismissed, with costs, the case of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company v. Morrison. This was a case originating in Victoria> in which Mrs. Christina Morrison, of Hawksburn, claimed a sum of £3700 deposited by her with the company, and also interest thereon, which brought the total amount to £4071. The plaintiff claimed that as the company was domiciled in England she, being resident in Victoria, was not bound by the reconstruction that had taken place under the English Act, and that as to the instalments paid to her she had only accepted them in part payment of the debt, and had not cashed the cheques representing them. The Chief Justice of Victoria gave judgment in Mrs. Morrison's favour for £4071 and costs, and an appeal to the Full Court resulted in that decision being sustained. So it still has on further appeal to the Privy Council.
