A PROTRACTED ACTION
CLAIM FOR £ISOO DAMAGES. By Telegraph—Press Association. Napier, last night. At the Supreme Court this morning, in a civil action in which George David Hood claims £ISOO from Wenley and Lanauze as damages for injuries alleged to have been received by plaintiff while in defendant’s employ, it was mentioned that Hood was applying for an adjournment of the hearing. Id objecting to tbe application being granted, counsel for defendant pointed out that two years had elapsed since the action opened, and that Mr Jellicoe’s statement before the Court in Wellington that he had exhausted the list of Napier solicitors in his endeavors to appoint someone to accept service was incorrect, as there were three lawyers who had not been approached, while only one had been applied to in Hastings. In granting tho application, providing £ls 15s costs were paid, the Chief Justice said had he been informed in Wellington, and bad he known the list of Napier solicitors had not been exhausted, he would not have made the order he did.
