(Per Press Association — Copyright.)
AUCKLAND, August 18,
A compensation award of £1035 was made by the Arbitration Court to-day to the widow, Viviia Doreen Johnson against ‘ Hauraki County Council. Her Ihusband' while motorcycling late- at night collided with a cow on the road and was killed'. He had been consulting a bus proprietor about traffic conditions and also about the danger. caused by cattle wandering on the roads. The ■County Council contended that as the accident happened on a Sunday it did not arise out of Johnson’s -employment, particularly as after attending to traffic matters he had .gone to a football match and a dance. Justice Frazer said part of Johnson’s duties was to patrol the rbads at night and there could be no doubt that on this occasion, ‘ though returning from a dance, he was .patrolling the lead in the exercise of his duty.
