APPEAL COURT.
Thursday, May 19. (Before their Honors the Chief Justice and Justices Johnston and Richmond.) Maitland v. Pritchard.—A case in error. Mr. Haggitt appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Stout and McGreggsr for the defendant. The facts of the case are that plaintiff, who is the Commissioner of Crown Lands in Otago, sued for the recovery of £SOO as damages caused through trespass and removing of sand. In 1879 defendant entered into a contract to do certain reclamation work, and during that contract had removed a quantity of sand from the Ocean Beach Sandhills at Dunedin. For the purpose of pushing on the reclamation the contractor laid a line of rails and brought the stuff into town, thereby removing a large portion of the sandhills, and damaging a quantity of Crown land. The arguments were not concluded when the Court rose.
