SUNDAY GOLF
\ ~ BY-LAW WON’T HOLD,
(Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 18. The Full Court delivered judgment this morning in the case Doyle v. Whitehead, a Sunday golf case. The Court was unanimous in upholding the decision of the Magistrate that the by-law which prohibited the playing or practising of golf on Sundays upon any reserve vested in the Wellington City Council was ultra vires and invalid. The Court held that the by-law was to enforce Sunday observance, and it was therefore contrary to section 347 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908. The Court also held that it was invalid, as being unreasonable. The appeal, therefore, was dismissed, with £lO costs.
