JUDGE’S CRITICISM
OF GOLD MINING VENTURES BRISBANE, August 17. In the Supreme Court at Rockhampton to-day, Mr. Justice Brennan said that, although there were exceptions to the rule, gold-mining generally began where the worst nature of horse-racing knocked off. The case being decided was an application by John Michael Kickey, of Theodore, a clerk, for an order that his name should be removed from the list of contributors of Cracow Gold Mines, Ltd. (in liquidation), and from the register of members of the company, and that the liquidator should pay the costs of the application. When counsel stated that a large sum was owing for wages, Mr. Justice Brennan said: “I have no time for miners who are working native rock and, now that there is no gold, know that they cannot get a weekly wage unless some unfortunate city people are caught by go-getters. Experienced miners working for months in a mine they know to be a dud are entitled to little consideration.”
