WELLINGTON, Last Night. Tn a reserved judgment test case bfought by the Inspector of Factories against the Wellington City Corporation, Mr. O. F. Stilwell, S.M., holds tramsheds to come within the meaning of the Factories Act. Hie case was one in which failure to pay an adjnstef at least double rates for work regularly done on Sundays was alleged. The Factories Act, said the Magistrate, defined a factory as any building office or place in which one or inOTe persons are employed directly or indirectly in any handicraft, or in preparing or manufacturing goods for trade or sale. It was in the latter words that the Magistrate found ground for the ruling.
