A claim for £509 was brought byUna Comestsey (Mr. Conlan), trained nurse, against Percy Roy McMahon (Mr. Dickson) for injuries received through being knocked down by defendant’s e%r in Dominion Road on the night of January 30 last. In awarding £lsl 17s, the actual amount of the expenses, and £75 as compensation, his Honour said defendant had committed a breach in not keeping to his left side.
