(BY TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
Wellington, this day. Tee factory cases mentioned last week came before the court to-day:—G. L. Cole was charged with sub-letting work received from Sargood, Son and Ewon and allowing it to be done away from his premises. Dr. Findlay dwelt on tho evils of sweating induced by middlemen sub-letting work, to prevent which was an object of the Factories Act. One woman gave evidence bhab she and her daughter could make 4s 6d per day ab shirt making. Another said she could not earn 2a 3d. For the defence ib was contended that the Act did not apply, as Cola was nob an omployee of Sargood and Co. and had a perfect right to sublet. Judgment was reserved, and other cases were adjourned sine die.
