COURT OF APPEAL
WELLINGTON, October 26. The Appeal Court was to have given judgment to-day in Genet v. Genet, but Mr Justice Williams said that the members of the court had been unable to agi c-e, and it was therefore impossible to give judgment that day. The court had reason to supyese that the came question was at present before the English Court of Appeal. The English statutes were exactly in the same terms as the New Zealand statutes on this matter, and the Privy | Council had laid it down that in such a caee the colonial courts ought to follow the decision in the English Court of Appeal. That would be e«Decially the caee in matrimonial causes, where the flatus of British subjects would be affected by the decision. In these circumstances it was the duty of the court to hold its hand until the decision of the English courts was pronounced. Judgment "would therefore stand over until the nest fitting of the court.
