Masters and Servants' Act.
Mr. Young (Instructed by Messrs. Iceton, Faithfull, and Maddock, agents for Mr. L. E. Cope, of Casino) appeared for Come-lius James Danahey, of Casino, agent, and moved to make absolute a rule nisi for prohibition directed to Daniel Terence Byrnes, of Cowra, clerk, and Frank B. Treatt, police magistrate, to restrain them from further proceeding on an order made by the magistrate on July 5 last at the Court of Petty Sessions, Cowra, whereby Danahey was ordered to pay the sum of £10 10s, together with costs amounting, to £1 12s ; in default, two months im-prisonment.
Mr. Boyce (instructed-by Messrs. Cur-tiss-and Barry, agents for Mr. R. B. Phillips, of Cowra) appeared for the re-spondent.
Dannhey was proceeded against by Byrne under the Masters and Servants Act of 1902 for wages alleged to be owing, and was ordered to pay £19 10s and costs. He now appealed on the ground that Byrnes, being a clerk, was not a servant within the meaning of the Act, and the P.M. had no jurisdiction to make the order.
Mr. Justice Pring said Mr. Boyce had very properly admitted that the, rule must be made absolute. Respondent was a clerk, and section 3. of the Masters and Ser-vants Act had only to be read to see that a clerk could not possibly be classed as a servant, who under the Act was a person engaged in manual labour. Upon the ques-tion of costs, it appeared that the defend-ant waited until a warrant was just about to be issued before taking steps to; obtain a prohibition. In these circumstances there should be no costs. He certainly deprecated applications for prohibition when really no effect was obtained beyond putting costs into some attorney's pocket. Rule absolute, therefore, without costs.

Greater Attention Advocated.
WAGGA (N..S.W.), Thursday. -An important conference of delegates from the southern shires and municipalities took place in Wagga to-day to emphasise the need for greater attention to the main roads of the southern part of the state.
The mayor of Wagga (Alderman D. T. Byrnes) said that the rapid closer settlement had created a state of affairs that it was almost impossible for the shires concerned to deal with by reason of the fact that much of the traffic was not local traffic, but inter-town aud inter-district traffic.

WAGGA COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.
WAGGA, Saturday.
Criticism was made by Alderman D. T, Byrnes regarding several appointments re-cently made by council to the clerical staff, no returned soldiers having been annotated.
The Mayor (E. E. Collins) said that at the time of the appointment he and the town clerk had tried hard to include returned sol-diers in the final four candidates, from whom two were to be appointed, but they found it impossible.
Alderman Hardy moved that in all future appointments an employment sub-coommittee should consider applications for salaried posi-tions on the council sial and make recom-mendations to council. The motion was adopted.

SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL DISPUTE.
WAGGA, Sunday.
An unexpected turn of events occurred at the week-end, regarding the erection of a memorial arch to the soldiers in the Memorial Gardens, on land about to be vacated by the Police Department. The dispute has been in progress for some months, between two committees, known as the Wagga War Me- morial Committee and the Soldiers' Memor- ial Gardens Committee, and it relates par- ticularly to the site for the erection of a memorial arch. A contract was let to a Sydney firm for the erection of the arch, and work was actually started on the site in Bayliss-street. Overtures from the Memor- ial Gardens Committee to delay the work, pending a transfer of the land from the police to the Municipal Council was declined by the Arch Committee, and now an equity suit has begun for an injunction restraining the Mayor and others from proceeding with the work of erecting the arch in its present position. The action is taken by the Attorney-General at the instance of Daniel Terence Byrnes, ex-Mayor of Wagga, and president of the Returned Soldiers' League. The grounds of the action are that the de- fendants are acting without lawful author- ity; that the site has not been approved by the Municipal Council; that the arch will encroach on the street and be an obstruc- tion constituting a public nuisance; that the arch is being erected in contravention of the Local Government Act, inasmuch as it is being done without lodging with tbe coun- cil the written authority of the Minister; and that if Ministerial authority was granted it was under a misapprehension. The hearing was set down for Monday, June 21, but the parties yesterday agreed to a postponement for a week. Even at the eleventh hour hopes are expressed that an agreement may be reached between the parties to the dis- pute.

WAGGA WAR MEMORIAL.
Attorney-General v Collins and others.
This was an application in a suit on behalf of the Attorney-General (Informant), on tHe relation of Daniel Terence Byrnes against Edward Easter Collins, Hugh Oates, Joseph Anderson, George Woolley, and Robert Em- blen (members or the Wagga War Memorial Committee), Anselm Odllng and Sons, Ltd. (contractors), and George William Bailey and Joseph Baumer (carrying on business as monu- mental masons, under the name of "Bailey and Baumer"), in which the informant asked for an injunction restraining the defendants, their servants and workmen, from erecting, or proceeding to erect, an arch in Baylis-street, Wagga, and from obstructing the street until the written approval of the Minister for Local Government of the design and situation of the arch had been lodged with the local muni- cipal council, and permission had been granted by that body for such erection; and restrain- ing them from spending any portion of tbe moneys collected and held by the committee for the purpose of a war memorial upon the erection of an arch in Baylis-street until approval had been lodged and permission duly granted.
Mr. Hooton (instructed by Messrs. McDonell and Moffltt, Sydney-agents for Messrs. Walsh and Blair, of Wagga) appeared for the infor- mant, and Mr. Weston (Instructed by Messrs. Mark Mitchell and Nelson) for the defendants, Anselm, Odllng and Sons, Ltd.
The statement of claim set out that the re lator (D. T. Byrnes) had for some years past been an alderman of the Wagga Municipal Council, and was chairman of the Victory Memorial Gardens Committee, which was formed for the purpose of establishing gar- dens in Wagga as a memorial of the residents of the district who had served in the Great War. The defendants Collins, Oates, Ander- son, Woolley, and Emblen were the chairman and members of the Wagga War Memorial Committee, and were believed to be the only persons still acting as such. The defendants Bayley and Baumer, and the defendant Com- pany, had proceeded to erect in Baylis street an arch, for the erection of which they had obstructed the street and cut down cer- tain monumental trees. The defendant com- mitteemen claimed that the site on which the work was being carried out had been approved by the Minister for Local Govern- ment, but the informant charged that if such approval had been given. It was given under the impression that Baylis-street formed part of a public park or reserve. The informant further charged that the Minister's approval had been obtained by the defendant com mitteemen by failing to inform him of ma- terial facts. The said defendants had been requested by the members of the Victory Memorial Committee to desist from proceeding with the work, but they had refused to do so. The defend- ant committeemen held about £1800, which had been collected from the public in the Wagga Wagga district, for the purpose of establishing memorial gardens, and were expending the money in the erection of an arch, the site of which was altogether unsuitable, and such that the arch would not harmonise with its surroundings, or properly serve the purpose for which it was Intended, hence the suit, In which the informant was also asked that the defendant committeemen be restrained from expending any portion of the moneys so collected or raised in the erection of an arch on the site on which such work had been commenced.
By consent, the, matter was allowed to stand over for a week.
