CLAIM FOR DAMAGES.
OWING TO ERECTION OF IKONROLLING MILLS. Christchurch, July 23. An interesting action was commenced in the Supreme Court, .the parties being Maud Eliza Felton and the Addington Iron-Rolling Mills. The plaintiff claimed £2OO damages to health, £3OO damages for depreciation of property, and an injunction to restrain the company from a continuance of the injury and nuisance. Plaintiff resides noar the mills, and alleged that the noises, smoke, and gases emanating therefrom affected her nerves and had such an effect on her property that it was unsaleable. Prior to ,the erection of the mills the locality had been a residential one. The defence was, firstly, a general denial, and, secondly, that the industry complained of was one of public utility and carried on without negligence in a suitable locality, whero industries giving rise to noise and smoke had long been carried on, to the benefit of the public. The evidence had not been concluded when the court adjourned till to-morrow.
