EFFETE BYE-LAWS.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHIJRCH, September 13. Mr. Bailey, S.M., has delivered his reserved judgment in several cases arising out of informations laid under vie Riccavton Borough Council's by-laws relating to driving stock to and from Addington saleyards. The Magistrate said the facts were not disputed. The defence raised was that the by-laws were ultra- vires and unreasonable. After reviewing the evidence he had come to the conclusion that the restrictions were unreasonable. Regarding the legal aspect, he said it was not at all clear that the Borough Council had power to limit the hours during which stock might be driven aloug the streets. Power was given under section 344 (2) of the Municipal Corporations Act to prescribe the route by which cattle may be driven, but nothing was said about times, and any power to make by-laws as to time was by inference only from other sections. All informations were msmissed.
Counsel for the Borough Council said" that lie could not at this stage definitely state that an appeal would" "be made, but he asked that in case of an appeal the amount of security required should be stated. The amount was fixed at £5 5s lor each case.
