FALL FROM A HORSE
GOVERNESS NOT COMPENSATED Press Association. TIMARU, Monday. The Arbitration Court to-day heard a claim for £4O made by a. nursery governess who suffered injury throLigli her employer’s horse stumbling and throwing her when she was riding with one of the children of the family. Plaintiff claimed that she was injured when engaged in one part of her duty, and that she was therefore entitled to compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Act. The Court held that the girl with whom plaintiff was riding at the time of the accident was not in her charge, as she went to a boarding school and was only home at week-ends. Plaintiff was engaged only to teach her two younger sisters, and she went for a ride for her own pleasure, not to look after the girl she went with. The latter was a much better horsewoman than plaintiff. Judgment was given for defendant.
