AN IMPORTANT POINT.
(united press association.) Kaikoura, January 27. Mr McLean, solicitor, raised an important point with regard to prosecutions under the Rabbit Act to-day—namely, that the Act does not create a competent Court of jurisdiction.

This, he contends, has not been done. The Magistrate is considering the point.
