CLAIM AGAINST CROWN.
COST OF REMOVING RUBBISH
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, last night
In the Supreme Court Mr Justice Stringer gave judgment for the City Council in a case against the Crown, claiming the sum of £2l 8s 7d as a charge for collecting and removing refuse from post offices in the city. The case was heard last Thursday. His Honor said the contention that the Crown was not bound by the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act was correct. The case must be decided apart from the provisions of the Act. The Crown, having availed itself of the facilities offered, was under obligation to pay for them at a reasonable sum.
