NOT SERIOUSLY

As regards the mandamus application, the Full Court said the request for the order was not seriously pressed by Coun- sel, who could not show that a duty rested on the Governor- In-Council to issue an order in the terms requested on the tenancy dispute.

The Court therefore was of the opinion that this request for mardamus, should also be re fused.
