Court of Appeal.
[By Telegraph] Wellington, April 26. Argument for d-fendant in the Exploration Company v. Parser was continued, Sir R. Stout contending that certain non-suit points raised by him at the trial should have been allowed, and, if so, no new trial could be ordered because no injustice had been done. The princip 1 points were that there was no proof that the action was authorised by the company or that the company was incorporated according to the law of Germany, where it was alleged it was formed. Mr Brown then addressed the court at some length on the facts, urging strongly that it was a possible and probable hypothesis that the defendant had honestly believed that no fraud whatever was being committed on the defendant]company ; that this had been put to the jury as a possible hypothesis by the learned judge at the trial, and that the jury having found to that effect it was impossible for the court to disturb their verdicL Mr Bell having replied the court reserved its decision.
