COMPENSATION OF MINER
CLAIM MADE BY "SCOUT" APPEAL COURT'S DECISION [BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON. Konday The Court of Appeal to-day delivered judgment in the case of Berryman v. the Martha Gold Mining Company (Waihi), Limited. The case arose from a claim for compensation made against the company by Berryman, and the point in dispute was on wh'at basis of wages the claim should be assessed, plaintiff being a "scout" miner. The Court's judgment was to the effect that the basis of calculation of wages of a "scout" miner was that as laid down in the case of McConnell v. the Waihi Gold Mining Company, Limited, 1935, or, in other words, that the claim should be assessed on plaintiff's earnings as a "scout" miner, and not on the basis of wages paid if he had been in full-time employment.
