Per Press Association,
AUCKLAND, May 3. The Arbitration Court, in the claim by Mrs Piercey to recover £4OO from Macklow Bros., as compensation for the death, of her husband, master of the wrecked scow Eaaora, held that Captain Piercey was a partner, even though he was paid wages. The father of Thomas Young, a seaman drowned tlirough the wreck of the Kiaora, claimed compensation from Macklow Bros., for the death of his son. The Court found that claimant and his wife were not dependent on deceased, therefore they were not entitled to any compensation. In the case of Mahon v. the Grand Junction Gold Mining Company, a mother claimed for the death of her son through injuries received while assistin tr to start an air compressor engine. The Court found that the accident arose in the course of deceaseds employment, and awarded £l2O compensation. '
