CLAIM FOR DAMAGES FAILS.
ACCIDENT AFTER DISMISSAL. Dunedin, Yesterday. The Arbitration Court was occupied to-day with the hearing of the ease of Henry James Healey, waterside worker, against John Mill and Companjq stevedores, in a claim for damages in respect of injuries received by plaintiff while working on the steamer City of Bath in February. Mr. Justice Frazer gave a majority judgment of the Court in favour of defendant on the grounds that plaintiff being under the influence of liquor, had been dismissed by the superintending stevedore prior to the accident, and had therefore no right on board the vessel at the time of the mishap. Mr. Monteith dissented from the majority verdict, holding that the superintending stevedore had made a mistake in regard to the identity of ther man who was dismissed. Judgment was entered for defendant.
