AUCKLAND FATALITY.
COLLAPSE OF SCAFFOLDING. SEQUEL IN THE COURT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. An aftermath of the recent fatal accident in Endean’s Buildings was an allegation at the Magistrate’s Court today by Mr. Lightfoot (inspector of scaffolding) t-hat K. R. Taylor (of J. Henderson and Co.) committed a breach of the Scaffolding Act by failing to give 24 hours’ notice of his intention to erect a scaffolding. A plea of not guilty was entered on behalf of defendants. Mr. Endean spoke of the custom which had long prevailed in Auckland by which persons about to erect scaffolding sent in a notice and often proceeded to put up stagings on the same day. The facte of the case could scarcely be disputed; as the Bench remarked they were quite clear. Notice ou a recognised form was produced and the Magistrate pointed out it had been sent in on the morning of the day of the accident. A fine of £5 Is was inflicted, security for appeal being fixed at £l5, plus the fine and eoete.
