COURT OF APPEAL.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph Copyright, Wellington, July 14. In tho Wanganui packet license case, the question involved being whether liquor could be sold while a river steamer was at a picnic ground, judgment was reserved. A case then came before the Court on a motion for a writ of certiorri to quash the packet license granted by the Wanganui Licensing Committee to the river steamer Murdoch Stuart, plying between Castleclifl and Wbenuatere. The grounds of motion were : (1) That the packet license was one. taking effect within a block or area of native land proclaimed by the Governor under the Act of 1881, and was therefore unlawful ; and (2) That the Committee refosed proper opportunity to objectors who had given due notice of their intention to object to be heard by their witnesses and counsel in opposition to grant of the licenses. The Court raised the point whether the river can be regarded as not land, and subject to a -section of the Act on which the case turns.
Judgment was reserved
