COURT OF APPEAL

SESSIONS OPENED. A SMALL LIST. , (Per United Press Association.) . Wellington, June 17. The first division of the Court of Appeal opened its sessions and sat today to make fixtures. Only four matters are set down for hearing. In view of the smallness of the list, the Chief Justice suggested to counsel that advantage should be taken of the position and important matters pending be set down before the full bench of the Supreme Court. As a result, four matters have been set down to be heard whilst the Judges are in Wellington, one of which, Jacobs v. Harvey, will deal with the question of sending from New Zealand money to Tattersails in Tasmania.

In another, the National Spoiling Club Incorporated, Wellington, is raising the question of control exercised by the police over the issue of permits for wrestling bouts.

Application was made for leave to appeal to the Privy Council from the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered in the action Dr. Chapple v. Tongariro Timber Co. Ltd. and Aotea District Maori Land Board on May 3 last. Mr Heine appeared for Dr. Chapple and the application was opposed on behalf of respondents by Mr Nowell Izard of Wanganui. After some argument had been heard, the application was adjourned sine die to enable some further steps to be taken in the Supreme Court.
