Cooper £4 14s 6d, with costs Bs, in default five days’ imprisonment. BREACH OP AWARD. Norman Findlay Johnston (inspector of factories) proceeded against John Michael O’Brien, licensee of the Glad-’ stone Hotel, for the sum of £lO as a penalty for a breach of the New Zealand Licensed Hotel Employees’ Award, He claimed that O’Brien employed Alice Sheehan as a cook and paid her a wage of £1 15s per week instead of £2 4s 6d as required by the award. In conjunction with the same case, he further claimed ‘that O’Brien made false entries in his wages and overtime book in respect to the same employee. Mr H. S. Ross appeared for the defendant, and stated that the plaintiff had stated the case fairly. He also stated that it was on account of the slackness in trade that O’Brien had arrived at an agreement with Miss Sheehan that the books should be falsified. Tiie information had been given to the Labour Department by another employee in the hotel, and there was no suggestion that Miss Sheehan was dissatisfied, the wages paid being a mutual arrangement. In respect to the first claim,_ the court gave judgment to the plaintiff for £l, and in the case of the entry, O’Brien was fined £2, with 10s costs.
