INJUNCTION REFUSED.

[lIY TELEGRAPH.— ASSOCIATION.] . „ . Christchdiicii, Tuesday. Judge Sim. in giving judgment to-day in the Supreme; Court in regard to the application, of John Hanna for an injunction restraining the Trotting Association from disqualifying him, said it was not the function of the Supreme Court to act as a Court of Appeal from the decisions of such bodies as the association, and the only ,ground of interference would be that the"decision was not arrived at properly, or. that the association acted contrary to the principles of natural justice. He concluded, " Hanna had, in purposely avoiding giving explanations to the committee before the disqualification, no reason to think that.the association had not acted in a bona-fide manner, and judgment will be given for the defendant association, with costs."'"'

Cardinal Manning, and on August 27 the Rev. i G. M. Lenihan was raised to the priesthood. He was the. first student of Ramsgate College ordained as a secular priest, and the first priest ordainod : by Bishop Luck. ."

On September 7, ■ 1832, Bishop Luck, Father Lenihan, and a number [of clergy loft London. On. arriving" at Mel- ; bourne the' Bishop went on to Sydney, whilst Father Lenihan came on to Auckland, via the .•Bluff., He \ reached Auckland on November 12, and was warmly welcomed by the clergy and laity. The Bishop arrived four days later, and at once placed Father ■Lenihan as curate under the late Monsignor Walter McDonald at St. Patrick's Cathedral, where ho laboured for three and a-half years.

f In April, 1886, Father Lenihan was appointed pastor, of the > now parish of Pohsonby, then without a church or presbytery. On October 51 of the same year the now church at Ponsonby was blessed, - and in the following January was opened and dedicated to the Sacred Heart. , Here was a striking example of .Father Lonihan's many and undoubted administrative qualities, and this was so apparent to the Bishop that he added to the new pastor's already numerous! parochial responsibilities the charge of the v Star of the Sea Orphanage at St. Mary's. ; On February 10, 1891, Father Lenihan " was made irremovable rector" ; of Parnoll,, which position -he' occupied till 1896. .

In the early part of 1895 Bishop Luck asked for the appointment of a coadjutor Bishop, and on the votes of the priests of the diocese , Father Lenihan was recommended. Bishop Luck did not survive long, and on his death in January, 1896, Father Lenihan was appointed diocesan administrator by Archbishop Redwood. / Subsequently, at a meeting of the clergy, presided over by the. Metropolitan, Father Lenihan's name was placed first on the list forwarded to the Holy See. His Holiness ratified the choice, and on November 15, 1896, the new Bishop was consecrated in St. Patrick's Cathedral by Bishop Grimes; of i Christchurch, who was assisted on the occasion by Bishop Verdun, of Dunedin, and Dr. Gallagher, Coadjutor-Bishop of Goulburri, New South Wales.

in March, 1899, Bishop Lenihan left for Homo to make his visit ad limina, and ho subsequently visited Ireland to secure more priests for the diocese and to arrange for a continuous supply of clergy by placing students in various colleges to prepare for missionary work in New Zealand. On his departure for Rome ho appointed the Very Rev. Dean O'Reilly, administrator of the Cathedral and chancellor of the diocese, to act during his absence from the Dominion. The Bishop had previously, in January"," 1899, appointed Father O'Reilly dean of the eastern district.

Bishop Lenihan returned to New Zealand on July 7,, 1900. In 1902 the Sacred Heart College, Ponßonby", was 'erected, anil in 1905 the Bishop undertook the completion of St. Patrick's at, an approximate cost of £11,000. This was accomplished in 1907, and the informal opening took place on April 21. The Bishop still continued with the work of adorning the Cathedral; and tho formal dedication took place on February 23, 1908, when tho ceremony was performed by His Eminence Cardinal, Moran.

Dr. Luck, arrived in November,. 1882. .■ He died on January 23, 1896, and Dr. Lenihan was elected as: his successor.'
