PRIVY COUNCIL CASES
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Eeceived July 29, 10 a.m.) LONDON, July 2S. Tho Privy Council allowed four consolidated appeals from tho New Zealand Appeal Court judgments in the cases of Brooker versus Borthwiek, Ryan versus Borthwiek, Prendcrgast versus Nelsons, Ashwell versus Bren-
It was held that the accidents on which the actions were based and which occurred during tho earthquake of February, 1931, arose "out of" the employment of the workers involved therein, because they were injured by physical contact with a portion of tho premises in which they were employed or, as in Ash well's case, injured while in tho street in the course of employment.
The respondents were ordered to pay the appellants' costs.
