CLAIM BY APPRENTICE.
DECISION RESERVED. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Nov. 19. Decision was reserved by Mr Justice Reed in the Welungfon Supreme Court to-day in a case in which Gilbert Archer, a minor, claimed £SOO damages from S. S. Williams and Co., Ltd., upholsterers. He alleged that defendants ' failed to teach him the upholstery trade as they had contracted. In the course of his evidence, Inspector Goodacre, of the Labour Department, said that during the last two or three years employers had found it difficult to find work for tlieir apprentices. Several employers had applied under section 56 of the Finance Act for relief, but magistrates, on the application of employers, had granted very few cancellations. About 400 applications had been made and only in about 3 per cent, of the cases had the contracts been cancelled.
