Woman Seeks Buffy Not Cash in Court Dog Dispute
Melbourne magistrate rules Miss Mumby awarded 578 for her lost dog Billy but refuses to order the return of the pet. Thompson, owner of the dog, valued the animal at 440, while Mumby bought Billy in 1966 as a puppy.

Stamp Act Case Casts Doubt on Receipt Duty Validity
The Hamersley case in Western Australia raises doubts about the validity of the receipt duty system adopted across states. If the ruling applies to internal payments, WA finances could face serious impact, though outside payments may be cleared. Officials fear a broader challenge could disrupt fiscal relations between states and the Commonwealth, with potential losses in revenue if the duty is deemed invalid. The High Court found that stamp duty does not apply to money received outside the state, creating an anomalous situation for small businesses versus industrial exporters. The WA Premier declined to comment on the ruling's specifics.

Study of judgment needed in High Court decision analysis
Professor Geoffrey Sawer of Australian National University in Canberra said last night no authoritative statement could be made on the implications of the High Court decision until the judgment was studied. The central point suggested is that Section Ten may apply Western Australian law under the Constitution, giving the Commonwealth a monopoly of taxation and affecting production and trade between States.
