Per Press Association. Auckland, May 1. An interesting judgment affecting the tailoring trade was given in the Arbitration Court to-day, when Rushbook and Bridgmau, E. Moore, and J. R. Self, drapers, were fined £5 with costs for a breach of a clause" in the tailors' award, which provides that all bespoke work shall be doue in the shop of the employer who takes the measurement, and that suits sold as tailor-made should be regarded as bespoke. Respondents took measurements for suits which were made in a factory, though the Court hold that on the evidence that customers were not told the suits were not tailor-made. Similar charges against John and George Court, drapers, was dismissed, the evidence showing that the customers were told that the suits were chart made and could not be fitted. Inveecabgill, May 1.
