DAMAGED COAT.
VERDICT AGAINST DYERS
Decision in the case in which \V. 11. Stevens and his wife claimed from the Victoria Laundry Co., Ltd., £7 Is for a coat which the plaintiffs alleged had not been dyed in a reasonable and workmanlike manlier, was given by Mr. W. G. Riddell, S.M., in the Wellington Magistrate’s Court last week. The facts were that last March the plaintiffs left the coat to be dyed, signing a form with the works: “All work is done at the owner’s risk.” When the coat was returned it was not dyed the required colour, and the work had been done patchily. The defen(iants contended that the work was done well, and that the variations in colour were due to fading of the original cloth. The’ Magistrate held that the work had not been done satisfactorily, and that if the company had considered it could not have done the work it should have refused to dye the coat at all The plaintiffs were not, however, entitled to the price of a new coat, and he fixed the damages at £3 10s, with costs.
