At tho Supremo Court yesterday, in giving judgment for claimant for £l7 and £7 7a costs, in the case of Qlover v. Neill, Ilis Honor reviewed the evidence. Claimant’s eye, ho said,

was now cured, but sightless, though it might be improved by an operation Claimant was off work from October 14th, 1905, to March 21st, 1900. The only substantial question was whether tho injury arose out of and in tho course of claimant’s employment. No other man was employed in the shop, and at times, when small odd jobs were called for, requiring the aid of carpentor’s tools, they had been done by claimant, or he had assisted in doing them. “We think,” said His Honor, “ that what he did was in in« tended furtherance of his employer’s interest, and that he regarded it as a necessary thing to do. If, as he said, the split caugbt in his waistcoat and so interfered with his work, it was to her interest that he should remove the measure. In this country employment is not so narrowly specialised that a man is not expected to assist

his employer occasionally in matters somewhat outside his daily dutios.” The Court thought, therefore, that the

claimant was entitled to compensation. The only basis on which they could assess this was that of his being off wotk for 22 weeks 4 days. This at half wages amounted to £VI. The Court thought that claimant was entitled to a declaration of liability, as the evidence showed that the disablement might recur either through a renewal of the trouble or through tho necessity of an operation. The Court allowed claimant £7 7s costs, with witnesses’ expenses and disbursements.
