Important Case.
A point was raised at Blenheim as to whether both manager and ownei could vote at the election of trustees for the rabbit district in cases where both owner and manager are resident on the run. The Magistrate hold that only one name should appear on the roll as representative of one property, and that if more than one mime both manager and owner should exercise a vote. The Act is somewhat obscure, inasmuch as it provides that both owner and manager may bo deemed to be a stockowner for the purposes of the Act, and in many eases in Marlborough managers are employed even where the owner is resident. The Magistrate’s decision no doubt complies with the intention of the Legislature, namely, that managers be deemed stock owners in absentee cases, or where the owner voluntarily relegates the privilege of voting to his manager.—Post.
