AN EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] Christchurch, last night. The case of Brown v. Staee, an appeal from the Magistrate’s decision, was heard before Judge Dcnniston this morning. Staee was employed in Brown’s tannery, and in December, 1899, while complying with tho request of another man, Dewdall, fell into a pit, and severely injured himself. The Magistrate gave judgment for Staee for X’loo. It was contended on behalf of the appellant that Dewdall was not a person in authority to whose orders Staee was bound to conform, but was merely a fellow-worker.
