I BLEW INTO COX'S ON THE WAY HERE, ON THE OFF CHANCE, BUT--NOTHING DOING!" "I S'POSE YOUR OVERDRAFT BLEW YOU OUT AGAIN--WHAT?"] * * * * * THE RIGHTS OF LABOUR. _(Extract from "The Times and Mail" of January 1st, 1925.)_ A significant case was heard yesterday in the courts, when William Blogg, bricklayer's labourer, recovered twenty-five pounds damages from James Buskin Carruthers, artist, for injury done to the plaintiff's eight-cylinder car through defendant's culpable negligence in allowing himself to be run over by it. Plaintiff urged that he was a labouring-man, who worked eight hours a day. The court was at once adjourned, while restoratives were applied to the Bench. |
