LOCAL OPTION PETITIONS
The hearing of the motion for prohibition restraining'Mr C. C. Graham, S.M , from hearing the Chalmers Local • Option petition on the grounds of no jurisdiction will probably come before Air Justice Williams on Friday week, that being, as far as can be seen, the only day on which it can be heard prior to His Honor leaving to attend the sitting of the Court of Appeal. The adjourned hearing of the petition praying for an inquiry into alleged informalities in the conduct of the Waikouaiti licensing poll came before Major Eeddell, S.M., at Palmerston yesterday. Mr T. A. B. Bailey, of Palmerston, appeared for die petitioners, and intimated that it was not proposed to offer any evidence. The petition was accordingly dismissed.
