SCALDED HAND
DAMAGES AWARDED [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON. June 20.

Plaintiff was filling a teapot from an urn of boiling water, and owing to the tap being faulty she scalded her left hand. Dermatitis followed, and the plaintiff had been unable to work practically ever since. The medical evidence was that her disability would last for some months.
