BURNED ON CHUTE.
BOY'S CLAIM DISMISSED. JUDGMENT FOR SOCIETY. I (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Tuesday. Holding that as the chute had been used for nine years without previous accident the St. Kilda Beach Improvement Society could not be aware of any danger, Mr. J. R. Bartholomew, S.M., gave judgment for the society in the Magistrate's Court to-day in the case in which Rodney Carter Francis Taylor, a boy of 15 years, claimed £135 damages from the society for injuries sustained in December, when on a hot day he received burns on the feet and buttocks while using a chute. The magistrate said the chute had been used by thousands without mishap, so that the society's experience negatived the existence of any danger.
