FLOUR-MILLING CASE
JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANTS.
Electric Telegraph—Prees Association DUNEDIN. Last Night. In the case of the Crown v. Distributors, Ltd., and other flourmillers the Hon. Sir William Sim this morning delivered judgment for defendants.
After reviewing several complaints on which the Crown based its allegation, that the combine was contrary to the public interest. His Honour concluded: “In view oif the satisfaction of bakers generally with the operations of this company, it is reasonable to conclude that the discontent in Dunedin and Southland is not necessarily a result of the scheme, hut is due to accidental causes that are only temporary. That discontent. I conclude, was largely responsible for the present action, but it doesn’t justify the Court in holding that the monopoly is contrary to the public interest, nor did the other grounds put forward by the Crown show it to be against the public interest. Judgment will be for defendants, with exists, but in view o 4 the fact that the interest of al] the defendants is identical, only one set of- costs will ho allowed.”
