Mr Young, S.M., at the Lyttelton Magistrate’s Court this morning, plaintiff being Harry Hubon, a watersider. who alleged that five employers of labour had combined to injure him in his calling.

Skipage, agent for the New Zealand Shipping Company, Walter Scott, master mariner, Joseph Garrard, branch manager for Kinsey and Company. and Thomas Henry, wharf superintendent for the Union Steam Ship Company, all of whom denied combination in refusing to, give plaintiff work.
Counsel stated that in March plaintiff was bound over on a charge of assault. He had thrown a knife along a table. The knife unfortunately struck the foreman and plaintiff was charged with assault. The Magistrate (Mr E. D. Mosley) then stated that the case was not as serious as it appeared. Defendant considered the penalty imposed was not sufficiently severe and plaintiff had thus been unable to obtain work.
