CLAIM FOR DAMAGES FAILS.
Hamilton, Last Night. A claim for £1895 damages for injuries received in an accident on the Wjaipa Collieries’ private railway, was brought before Mr. Justice Blair in the Supreme Court by Frederick George Herbert, a labourer. , The accident happened last November. A trolley, manned by Herbert and John Chandler Hill, plunged over a viaduct after a collision with another trolley. Both men were seriously injured and Hill bad since committed suicide. Judgment was for the defendant colliery company to-day on the ground that Herbert had failed to keep proper control of the Jolley. This does not effect a claim under the compensation law, which will also be considered.
