A Gisborne Case.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. Judgment was given by Dr McArthur, S.M., this morning in the case of Cable and Co. v. Common, Shelton and Co. Plaintiffs claimed £69, and defendants paid £36 in Court. The Magistrate hold that the amount claimed for board and lodging was fair. With regard to defendant’s claim that the men should have travelled steerage, he held that the trade rules supported the charge, which must stand. Plaintiff being bound by those rulos in the employment of his men was justified in charging defendants on the time sheet. He had paid his workmen as to three days on which the men did not work. The weight of evidence showed that there was no work of their own class for them to do. Judgment would be for plaintiff for the full amount of the claim, with costs.
