DAMAGES AWARDED.

COMPLAINT AGAINST FREEZING WORKS. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, January 30. In the Supreme Court Mr Justice Chapman delivered judgment in tho Wanganui case, Murray v. the New Zenland Refrigerating Company, praying for an injunction restraining the defendant company from creating a nuisance inimical to the health and general welfare of residents in tho neighbourhood of tho Imlay Freezing Works, and claiming damages therefor. Tho Court found that the nuisances complained of did exist, and granted an injunction restraining the defendants from permitting tho discharge of offensive matter on the beach and allowing smells to issue from the works, also allowing conditions to exist which attracted undue numbers of flies. Damages were assessed at £2OO, and costs were fixed as on an action for £7OO.
