At the Wyndham Court last week plaintiff Clarence Grass, in evidence, said he could machine-shear 160 to 190 a day of fair ordinary sheep (states the Herald). The award rate of pay was 30s with 10s a week bonus, but he had not shorn for lees than 32s 6d and in one place 35s per 100 (no bonus payable in such case). The court: “Then you must make about £3 a day.” “Yes,” answered the witness.
