LOSS OF AN EYE
GOLFER'S CLAIM FAILS (PHESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.} WELLINGTON. February 15. Reserved. judgment for defendant was given by Mr E. Page, S.M., to-day in the claim of Ernest Edward Edwards against Beatrice Mehaffey for £SOO damages for the loss of an eye caused by a golf ball driven by defendant striking him on Mahor Park links. The magistrate held that the evidence did not disclose, any lack of reasonable care on the defendant's part in having failed to give notice to the plaintiff prior to making her shot. Having made the shot and then catching sight of him, she did her best to save him from injury. The magistrate also held that plaintiff had not established that even on the basis that the defendant had, or should have, seen the plaintiff before playing a shot, she was guilty of negligence in falling to warn him before playing.
