£26,060 COMPENSATION
LAND IN WELLINGTON TAKEN BY PROCLAMATION Press Association WELLINGTON, Todav. I The Compensation Court reserved its decision on Thursday afternoon, at the conclusion of the evidence in the case in which Joseph Henrys claimed £40,000 compensation for land taken by proclamation at Quinton’s Corner, Wellington. Mr. Justice Blair, in giving judgment yesterday, said that the evidence given by the valuers, who had disregarded the varying depths of the sections fronting on Lambton Quay in arriving at their prices per foot, had been of little if any assistance to the Court. The Court awarded in full compensation £26,000. As to interest, the question had been settled between the parties by the Crown agreeing to pay and Henrys agreeing to accept a rent of £37 per week from the date of the proclamation of the taking of the land down to the present date. To the assessors the Court awarded £125 each, both to be paid by the Crown. “I should say,” he added, “that the award is not unanimous.”
