LAW.
The Judge of the Supreme Court is still at Wellington. The lower Courts have been engaged in matters of purely personal interest, and require no special notice. One proceeding of grave public importance kas cropped up since the departure of the last mail. The Mayor and Corporation moved the District Court exercising the powers of the Supreme Court, during the absence of the judge for an injunction against the " Tallow Rendering and Blood Manure Company " who had begun to set up their buildings 200 yards from the reservoir of the city waterworks supply. They said such a business would do irreparable injury. The injunction was opposed, on the ground that "action must be brought" or '' anj ury proved " before a writ could issue. The motion for an injunction was discharged. The decision is undoubtedly good law, but there are people who appeal to equity and good conscience, general expediency, aud the public health against it. The inferior Court of criminal proceeding has been engaged with an extensive jswellery robbery on board one of our coasting steamers, out of which it is said there will be a good crop of litigation in the future.
