CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
CASE BEFORE ARBITRATION COURT. (Per United Press Association.) Dunedin, May 24. The Arbitration Court was occupied today with the hearing of the case of Henry James Healey, waterside worker, against John Mill and Co., stevedores, claim for damages in respect of injuries received by plaintiff while working on the steamer City of Bath in February. Mr Justice Frazer gave the majority judgment of the Court in favour of defendant on the ground that plaintiff, being under the influence of liquor, had been dismissed by the superintending stevedore prior to lhe accident and had therefore no right on board the vessel at the time of the mishap. Mr Monteith dissented from the majority verdict, holding that the superintending stevedore had made a mistake in regard to the identity of the man who was dismissed. Judgment was entered for defendant.
