Sunday Labour on the Gold Fields .
The Warden gave judgment at Paeroa last week, against the Waiki Company on the question of employing labour in tbeir batteries on Sunday. The Inspector of Mines had no power to allow stampers to run on Sunday • but this question will have to be decided in the Supreme Court. The intention of the Legislature in framing the Act is clear enough, one would think namely that no work shall be carried onyn the goldfields on Sunday unles* it is absolutely necessary. Tile term’: Batteries,’ one would also think, at any rate, anyone not- sufficiently learned in 'liekvv to have lost his common sense, is included in the defiuitioa ox ‘ a mine ’ within the meaning of the Act in question.
