SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

(Before His Honor Sir G. A. Arney, Knigh ■ >; ; Chief Justice.)

VPPEAr..--LIST>SAY, APPELLANT, V. WALKER, i',i: .;''y , , RESPONDENT. -7 rrjjjg was an appeal against a decision of 3} C.'Barstow, Esq., R. M., of Papakura, inVolving the conviction of appellant on a charge of illegally selling porter to a man named Ebbinson. Mr Bennett appeared for the appellant. The points upon which the quashing of the conviction was moved for were three in number, and ran as follows:—lst, That there was'aoproof of suffering or permitting the illegal sale of alcoholic liquor. 2nd, That the information was bad for duplicity. , 3rd, Tbat the Provincial Licensing Act of 1871 AmendmerrJ. Act 1871, under Sec. 4, of which the appeilant was charged, was rendered in operative by the Licensing Ace of the General Assembly of 1573. His Honor pronounced judgment this morning, and in a, carefully [considered de cision granted an order for the quashing of the conviction on the second ground. ; His Honor said that'the third point raised as to the Act of 1873 annulling the Provincial Act of 1871 was a very fine one ; but to the best ofhis judgment the Act of 1871 was not ren dered inoperative by the other Act.', Mr Bennett applied for costs. ..;' : His Honor said he could not accede to the' application, appellant having only been suc cessful in his appeal through a defect in the laying of i_he information. ' - , ;;:;.';7.;'' ",'JAtsother Case. ■'!•"''' 7 'V'",'.',' ' LINDSAY; (APPELLANT) V. WALKER (RESPON ••,•! ,v • dent.) :•':.:• In this instance the conviction was obtained ori the ground that the appellant had permitted drink to be illegally sold to a man named Nolan. Mr. Bennett, in this case, had raised the first and third grounds brought forward in the other case. His Honor, in delivering judgment, said he was of opinion that an illegal permitting of the sale of the liquor had been made out. His-opinion as •to whether the Act of 1573 clashed with the Act of 1871 had been already given. Mis Honor then confirmed the conviction. Mr Bennett, before the rising of the Court, moved for a rule nisi that the conviction be quashed for informality on the face of it. ; • APPEAL.-M'CEORY (APPELLANT) V. ROGERS. (RESPONDENT.) Mr Eees for the appellant. This was an appeal from a decision of the Eesident Magistrate ,at Onehunga. The appellant 'had been' sued for the sum of £1u.155, being a balance of account, and judg mentbeing given againsthimhejhad since been imprisoned on an execution following the judgment./;'; y ■& r y . . , The appeal was argued last Wednesday, when Mr. Rees obtained a rule nisi'ior the quashing of the conviction. His Honor now said that the circumstances of the case rendered it important that it S-onld be at once decided. On the ground that no account had been 3tated between the parties, and no set-off agreed upon, ho Should.prder that the rule nisi, obtained by Mr Eees be made absolute.

This in effect quashes the conviction, WEBB V. GRAHAM.

Mr.,;Gi_lies,.ior,the defendant, replied to Mr. Eees' application for a decree" to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. It will be recollected that the jury which tried this case of breach of agreement found for the plaintiff on some of the issues, and for the defendant,on others., , , ~, Mr Gillies' address" lasted the greater part of the afternoon.
