THE COURT OF APPEAL.
<&• =— (By TsißaitiPH.) WELLINGTON, Mat 6. In the Sydenham Licensing appeal case Mr Bell for respondents submitted that the functions of a'licenaing committee were not to prevent the eale of drinfe, but to regulate it. The Supreme Court should have an inherent jurisdiction m tbe direction of reetraining any body which stated that it would act m an illegal mannor. He contended that no one, not even a temperance party, could olaim that the members of the committee wore unbiassed, and the court should not allow o. committee to act which brought partial minds to tho performance of its duties. Mr Harpi>r followed on the same eido, and at tho conclusion of hia addresa, judgment was ressrvod.
