CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
DECISION RESERVED By Telegraph Press Association WELLINGTON, November 16. Alleging that he had not been properly trained in accordance with the terms of his apprenticeship contract, Gilbert Archer, furniture upholsterer, claimed £SOO damages from S. S. Williams and Co., Ltd., of Wellington, in the Supreme Court to-day. Plaintiff alleged that he had been deprived of the opportunity of attaining the status of a tradesman as a journeyman upholsterer, and said he had not been able to obtain work since the expiration of of his contract either as an improver, under-rate worker or journeyman in the upholstering trade. The defence denied the allegations, and contended that the performance of the contract and the remedies for a breach were provided for by the Apprentice Act, and plaintiff was restricted to the remedies of that Act.
At the conclusion of the case counsel for the defence applied for a non-suit. Mr Justice Reed reserved his decision.
