In a Supreme Court, action at Gisborno in April, Herbert Victor Lunken, as a ratepayer of the borough of Gisborne, brought an notion against the Gisborne Fire Board and members of the Local Bodies' Loans Board to set aside the loans board's decision sanctioning the raising of a loan by the Gisborne Fire Hoard and prohibiting the tire board from acting on that decision and preventinp the fire board from raising and spend. ing money in pursuance of the loan pro posals. During the hearing of the case the loans board was called on lo produce, for inspection, certain documents, but this was objected to on the ground that the.
