CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION

POSSIBLE WRONG I DEFENDANT. CARGO WORKERS’ INJURY. 'B\ Tel °erap'n—Prew* A B^ociation.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 3. A peculiar position arose in a compensation case in the Arbitration Court to-day, when it was discovered during the hearing of evidence that the plaintiff had possibly commenced an action against the wrong defendant. The ease was adjourned sine die to enable a settlement to be made.

The plaintiff was John Patrick Walshe, who stated 1 that when employed as a casual worker by the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company on the steamer Mahana he was hit on the leg by a carcase of frozen por|k. During the hearing medical evidence stated that Walshe had later returned to work, but injured the cartilage when working on the Remuera, the New Zealand Shipping Company boat. It was stated that the injury appeared to have been due to the second accident, caused by the knee giving out when pulling on a heavy case. In such circumstances, it was further stated, it appeared that the liability would be on the New Zealand Shipping Company. Mr Justice Frazer said the latter company must be brought into the matter to assist in obtaining a settlement. He indicated what the judgment of the court would have been on the evidence before it.
