APPEAL ALLOWED.
PREMIUM PAID HAIR SPECIALIST
(BY* telegraph—press association.') PALMERSTON N. s Sept. 25. Reserved judgment was delivered by Mr. Justice Reed in the appeal ease wherein Jane Burnett Currie, hair specialist at Palmerston, appealed against the decision of Mr. Stout, S.M., fining her for taking a premium from Miss Martin to learn her trade. The Magistrate held that Martin was an apprentice within the definition of the Shops and Offices Act, and, therefore Currie had no right to accept a premium. Mr. Justice Reed held that Martin was neithei an apprentice nor an employee, because she received no pay and was not bound by any hours to work in the shop, although she had done some work there. Currie, therefore, was justified in accepting a premium and. the appeal was allowed without costs to respondent, the Inspector of Factories.
