SLAUGHTERMEN'S APPEAL.
WELLINGTON, July 30. Continuing his argument for the respondent in the appeal case Keddie v. Millar, Mr Raymond contended that though tho fine inflicted was in its inception a penalty, in its.enforcement it was, by section 101 of the Arbitration Act, treated merely as a civil debt, and imprisonment for its non-payment had been abolished by the Act of 1874. If tho fine still remained a penalty it was a penalty recoverable only by an action for debt, and therefore the remedy of a writ for attachment, which was devised really as a remedy for contempt of Court, was not available.
JUDGMENT RESERVED
Judgment has been reserved in the appeal case affecting the fines inflicted by the Arbitration Courb against the freezing works strikers.
