“NO RIGHT ON SHIP”
WATERSIDER’S CLAIM FAILS Press Association DUNEDIN, Thursday. The Arbitration Court heard to-daj" a claim by James Healey, a waterside worker, against John Mill and Co., stevedores, for damages in respect of injuries alleged to have been received while working on the steamer City of Bath. Mr. Justice Frazer gave a majority judgment of the Court in favour of defendant, on the ground that plaintiff, being under the influence of liquor, had been dismissed by the superintending stevedore before the accident, and had therefore no right on board the vessel at the time of the mishap. Mr. Monteith dissented from the majority verdict, holding that the superintending stevedore had made a mistake in regard to the identity of the man who was dismissed. Judgment was entered for defendant.
