Drage V Crown Appeal Case Heard In High Court
The High Court heard the Crown's appeal in Drage v Crown, with Justices Barton Duty and Hichom Tuemlay. Drage, a Northampton farmer, sued for 3034 bags of wheat sold to Dalzety and Co. for government use. The petition claimed the wheat was not Crown property and that advances under the Industries Assistance Act were improperly granted. The court upheld the petition, ruling the farmer was not eligible for assistance and the distress sale valid, but the Crown appealed on issues of Crown title, act compliance, and rights under the Wheat Marketing Act.

Legal dispute over Wheat Marketing Act and Moratorium Regulations
The petitioner argues distress is invalid under the Wheat Marketing Act 1918 and the Postponement of Debts Act, and War Preparations Moratorium Regulations. Burges is challenged as an unauthorised recipient under the Industries Assistance Act 1915. Respondent contends advances were unauthorised and Crown cannot apply the Postponement of Debts Act or Moratorium Regulations. Court adjourned pending further argument at 18.1 a.m. Wednesday.
