McCarthy, was further engaged in the hearing of the civil suit in which the Inspector of , Awards (Mr. J. Jackson) took action against P. A. McHardy, sheepfarmer, of Aramoana, on a claim for £SO as a penj alty for, through his manager, J. G. i' Speedy, on November 26, 1912, dismissing his shearers, with intent to compel them to comply with his demands to shear i wet sheep, and also with failing to pay their wages in full, keeping back 25 per cent. In the course of his evidence, J. G. Speedy, the manager of the station, stated that the alleged wet was sweat from a heated condition of the sheep, and he ordered the men to proceed with the shearing, which they refused to do, and left the following day. A further charge arising out of the case was a claim for damages owing to the defendants not having paid up the shearers in full, in certain cases having reserved 25 per cent. The Magistrate reserved his decision in both cases.
