HEARING IN COURT OF APPEAL,
Per Press Association,
WELLINGTON, July 6
The Court of Appeal to-day is hearing argument in the suit< of James Wincote Syme, a student, of Hawera, against the University of New Zealand.
Syme in March last filed a statement of claim alleging that in 1929 he entered for a Taranaki scholarship, that he qualified in all rspects and passed with credit the prescribed examination, but that the University refused to award him a scholarship.
He asked for an order that the University should award him the scholarship in question. By its statement of defence, the University alleged that though Syme passed with credit his examination, it did not consider he was worthy of a scholarship on account of his position on the list of candidates for the examination.
Argument is proceeding. , Tine Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers, Mr Justice Kennedy, Mr Justice Macgregor and Mr Justice Blair are on the Bench.
