Freeman, S.M., was called upon to decide in the Waihi Magistrate's Court when proceedings were taken against the council to recover more than £lOO, the balance between the amounts paid to the men and that payable under the stone masons’ award. There was also a claim from the council for a penalty of £5 in respect of each man for an alleged breach of the Northern Industrial District Borough Council’s award in that the council failed to pay employees on work covered by another'award at the rate fixed by such award. Decision was reserved.
