Mr. Justice Sim delivered an interpretation, at the Arbitration Court yesterday, of the Canterbury industrial district farm labourers' award, as follows:"Musterers, when employed to muster sheep for any purpose, shall be paid not Ices than 10e per week and £2 2s per week if engaged for a week or more, with an additional payment of 10s for any Sunday mustering. The provisions of the award do not apply to any worker employed regularly as a farm or station hand, who assists in mustering or packs for the musterers.
