AN UNUSUAL CASE.
DAMAGES FOR INTIMIDATION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Judgment was given by the Chief Justice to-day in an unusual case, Pieere Chaplin, cook, v. W. T. Young, secretary, and the Wellington section of the Seamen's Union. The first cause of action was that defendants induced certain seaand fire men to leave their employ? mcnt because the plaintiff was kept as cook on the steamer Nikau. Plaintiff failed in this, as the Chief Justice held that an employee could work with whom he pleased and on such conditions as heniight insist on. The second cause ; of action was that defendant threatened the employers of plaintiff that if plaintiff was not dismissed they would prevent sailors or firemen joining the Nikau, in which the plaintiff was employed as cook. His Honor believed that the threat complained of was made by Young, and judgment was therefore given for plaintiff for £SO and costs.
