By Telegraph. —Press Association. Wellington, last night. - I In the case of Jackson v. the governors of the Wellington College, wherein plaintiff sought to establish that defendants had no right to tho grounds on which the college stands, judgment was given by the Court of Appeal. The Court was unanimously of opinion that plaintiff had no locus standi .entitling him to object to tho proceedings, the defendant’s deed under which he claims as trustee not having been validly executed under the terms of the Act under which the lands in question were originally appropriated to the purposes of the college. The Court was also [ unanimously of the opinion that by subsequent legislation the lands became effectually vested in the governors of the collego for the purposes of a secondary school, freed from any requirement of affiliation to tho University of New Zea- I land. Costs were granted against the 1 plaintiff. The caso of Kiddler and others v. Dew I was then begun.
