FA CTORY ACT DECISIONS.
[by telegbaph— pkess association.] Dunedin, Tots Day. At the Police Court to-day several cases under the Factory and Shop Assistants Act came up. A charge, against a 'blacksmith, who employed his son, of not registering was withdrawn, as Mr. Carew, S.M., held that there must be a master and two servants to constitute a factory. Another case, against a coal merchant, was dismissed. A flue of 10s and costs was imposed in a case for employing a female after 1 p.m. on Saturday. In a case against a coal merchant charged with employing a carter after 1 o'clock a fine of 20s and costs was inflicted. The carter had been instructed shortly after 12, but he stopped to take his dinner. His Worfchip thought that a coal and wood yard was a shop under the Act and the carter a shop assistant.
