APPEAL COURT

DECISION RESERVED IN ACCIDENT CASE By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, September 28. The Appeal Court to-day continued the hearing of the case of Dickinson and Co. Ltd. v. Mt. Cook and Southern Lakes Tourist Company. The Chief Justice raised the question of whether the printed report of the judgment was an accurate reproduction of the oral judgment delivered at the trial by Mr Justice Northcroft. After discussion counsel agreed that although not a complete report it was accurate so far as it went, and was the best report procurable, having been obtained from a newspaper account of the proceedings and contained all the material findings of the fact. Mr Anderson, for the respondents, contended that in the case of a dangerous comer the usual rules as to position of cars on the road did not apply, and that Wigley was not negligent in driving away from the extreme outside edge of the road, and that the extent of Suisted’s swerve after seeing the service car indicated that he was previously in the middle of the road. Judgment was reserved.
