COURT OF APPEAL.

[Per Press Association.! WELLINGTON, July 17,

In the case Lyenar v. Dunlop before the Appeal Court, an application to dismiss tho order giving leave to appeal to tho Privy Council on the ground that tho appeal was not diligently prosecuted, Mr Skerrett said that after locking into the authorities he was convinced that the motion could not succeed, but he asked that in view of the novelty of the point in New Zealand costs should not be awarded. Tho Court decided that it had no jurisdiction to discharge the order made, and the motion was dismissed without costs.
