COMPENSATION CASE.
CLAIM HELD NOT PROVED
Per Press Association. WANGANUI, Aug. 11
Finding that plaintiff had not proved his case, His Honour, Mr Justice O’Regan dismissed a claim against the Wanganui City Council by a gasworks employee, William Zohs, for compensation amounting to £877 and such further relief as the Arbitration Court might see fit to give. , . Plaintiff alleged that he strained his heart while at work, but His Honour, giving judgment, said that if such an accident as was described by plaintiff occurred his fellow workers would have known of it. The weight of medical evidence also showed that, if such an accident had occurred, it was in no way responsible for the attack which plaintiff experienced later.
