VOLUNTARY COMPENSATION.
£400 PAID. In these days when most people regard a case at law as almost a necessity, it is cheering to record a case in which full compensation has been paid without any move Laving been made in the direction of an application either privately. or through a legal channel. The case concerns the death of Charles Nevis, late of Norway Street, Kelburne, who was crushed between two bales of asbestos slabs in No. 2 hold of the lonic on September 11, and who died next day from the internal injuries sustained. Captain Evans, local superintendent for the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, has banded over to the Public Trustee a cheque for £400, being the full amount that can be claimed through death by accident. The friends of the deceased do not think that Euch a considerate action should go by unnoticed.
