ACTION AGAINST THE UNION COMPANY.
[by TELEGRAM!.— press association.] Wellington, Monday. In the Magistrate's Court this afternoon Hume and Son sought to recover from the Union Steam Shipping Company £1 3s, described as anticipated profit upon a shipment of flour, which had arrived by one of the company's steamers in a damaged, and consequently unsaleable, condition. The flour had been returned to the company, who paid the actual cost of the flour, but denied the plaintiffs' claim for anticipated profit. After hearing the evidence and argument, His Worship gave judgment for the defendants, holding that the company's rules, as to responsibility for goods entrusted to their care, applied to the case, and was a perfectly reasonable one. The costs of the Court and counsel, amounting to £1 6s, were also given against the plaintiffs.
