INJUNCTION SOUGHT.
A WAIKATO APPLICATION. ADJOURNED SINE DIE. NOT A POLITICAL PLATFORM. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Wednesday. Coal, tramways, political matters, power supply for Auckland, and Biblical quotations made up the pot pourri at the Supreme Court this morning during the hearing of a Waikato aplication for an injunction. Several plaintiffs at Glen Afton sought an order to restrain Glen Afton Collieries Ltd., from constructing 'a tramway across what is known as the McKinnon property, to give access to the MacDonald property adjoining, which it is proposed to develop for power puroses, on account of the failure of Arapuni. In the course of the hearing Mr Justice Herdman said: “I cannot aliow this Court to be made a political platform. These are observations relating to the history of the matter. Air Northcroft (for defendant company) : “They are criticisms of the Government.
“There are other ways of replying than by making use of a formal document,” said His Honour, who reiterated his determination not to allow the Court to be made a political platform or a place for the making of speeches in justification of any political action. The case was adjourned sine die.
