WEST PORT, Monday. A lamentable accident occurred on the YVestport Coal Company's incline on Saturday afternoon. Charles Nihey, manager, in charge of the Company's machinery was walking down the incline when by some mischance he was caught by a truck and received such injuries that he is not expected to recover.
CHRISTUMURCH, Monday.
In the Supreme Court to-day, a libel action was brought by J. K. Rosewarne, claiming £500 damages from ten other butchers, on account of statements in an advertisement in the Lyttelton Times, stating they were not selling the frozen mutton saved from the Belfast fire, which Rosewarne had purchased. The advertisements described the meat as unattractive and filthy. It appeared that the butchers agreed to publish a disclaimer, but they had uone of the meat, leaving the precise wording to Mr Akem, reporter, who framed two sensationally - worded advertisements. The defence is that the advertisements were not what the butchers intended, and that the statements therein were true.
