REPORTS FROM THE LAW COURTS

SUPREME COURT

(Before Mr. Justice Owen and a jury.) TAX NOT PART OF WAGE LOSS.

His Honor ruled that a jury in assessing loss of earnings must calcu-late from net wages after tax was taken out and not from the gross

wages.

Arthur Atkinson, 44, wharf labourer, claimed damages from Port Line Ltd., stevedores, for suffering and loss caused him by an accident on June 27, 1945, when he was working for defendant on

the wharf.

He alleged that carelessness of an-other employee, either a winchman or a hatchman, caused the accident which re-sulted from the raising, without signal, of a half-ton case that crushed plaintiff's leg against the side of the ship Tiran-

dentes.

Defendant, who denied negligence,

offered no evidence.

Medical evidence was that plaintiff, who was still on crutches, would prob-ably be unable to work for another 12 months, which would be two years from the accident.

Plaintiff earned £584 in the year be-fore the accident, out of which he paid £120 in tax.

Mr. McClemens, K.C.. for plaintiff, submitted that the jury should use the figure £584 in calculating an award for loss of earnings.

He submitted that his Honor should follow the English decision to this effect of Atkinson J. in the case of Jordan v Limner and Trinidad Lake Asphalt Co., given on March 19 last, which followed a previous decision to the same effect given in 1933.

His Honor refused, saying he was not bound by the decision and that he had previously ruled to the opposite effect, as awards of damages were not subject to

tax.

The jury awarded plaintiff £1,318.

Mr. McClemens, K.C., with Mr. M. E. Pile (by Mr. Aidan J. Devereux) for plaintiff; Mr. N. A. Jenkyn (by Messrs. Tietyens, McLachlan and Co.) for de-

fendant.

PROBATE

(Before Mr. Justice Nicholas.)

MISS CLULOW'S WILL.

His Honor, by reserved judgment; dismissed the suit instituted by a nephew of the testatrix, for revoca-tion of the will of Miss May Latham Clulow, formerly of Victoria Road,

Bellevue Hill.

Miss Clulow died at the age of 79 years, in October, 1944, leaving real and personal estate of £10,000. By her will she left small legacies, amounting in all to £250, to friends and relatives, and gave the rest of her estate to her nephew, John Clulow, an engineer, and appointed him sole executor. He had lived with his aunt for many years.

Oliver Clulow, a brother of the exe-cutor, sought revocation of probate, granted in 1945, on the ground that the will, typewritten on a printed form, had not been executed by the testatrix. Coun-sel for the plaintiff submitted that the will was a forgery, and that the attesting witnesses were parties to a conspiracy with the defendant.

The will was dated September 6, 1944, and the attesting witnesses of Miss Clu-low's signature were Mrs. Margaret Laws and Peter Laws, her brother, a soldier.

A great deal of evidence was taken at the hearing, much of it being from doc-tors and handwriting experts. In this there was some conflict.

His Honor said that nothing had been revealed in the past record of either of the attesting witnesses which would throw doubt on his or her credibility, nor was there any evidence that either stood to gain from admission of the will to probate or had any motive for fur-thering the interests of the executor. He regarded them as truthful, and accepted

their evidence.

Costs of both parties were ordered to be paid out of the estate, costs of de-fendant as between solicitor and client.

Mr. S. Isaacs (by Messrs. Percy Wil-liamson and Son) for plaintiff, and Mr. A. B. Kerrigan and Mr. M. H. Allen (by Messrs. Verner Cocks and Graham) for the defendant executor.

INDUSTRIAL

COMMISSION

(Before Mr. Justice Kinsella,)

NURSES' AWARD.

Mr. Justice Kinsella will shortly be leaving Sydney for a two months' tour of New South Wales to examine hospital conditions.

The tour will provide his Honor with facts upon which he will assess an ap-plication by the N.S.W. Nurses' Associa-

tion for a new industrial award.

When the application came before the industrial Commission yesterday, Mr. J. J. McKeon, who appeared for the asso-ciation, asked that the hearing be ad-journed until June 28 in order that de-tails ot the proposed itinerary could be placed before the, commission. The ad-journment was granted.

Application was also made by ihe N.S.W. Hospitals Association for auth-ority to employ girls under 18 in hos-pitals as ward cadets.

Mr. A. C. Beattie, who apeared for the Hospitals Association, pointed out to Mr. Justice Kinsella that under existing legislation girls cannot begin training as probationers until they are 18. This matter was also adjourned until June

28.

COMPENSATION

COMMISSION

(Before Judge Rainbow.)

COALMINERS AWARDED

COMPENSATION.

Eight coalminers were awarded weekly compensation payments in respect of wholly or partially incapacitating pul-monary fibrosis which medical evidence had said was probably due to their work in, coal mines.

In each case award was by consent of the employer.

Another miner claimed incapacity since December 21, 1945, as a result of pul-monary fibrosis caused by the inhalation of dust, and chronic bronchitis aggra-vated by applicant's work and working conditions. He was Andrew Mottinelli, 50, of Helensburgh, employed by the Metropolitan Coal Co. An award was made for £3 a week from January 8.

Mr. G. T. A. Sullivan appeared for the applicant; Mr. Monahan for respon-

dent.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL

COURT

(Before Mr. Justice Maxwell.)

Mr. T. S. Crawford, K.C., Senior

Crown Prosecutor.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER

Michael Courtney Bereyne Allen, 23, labourer, a deaf mute, who pleaded not guilty to having maliciously murdered Francis Amiens Smith at St. Leonards, was found guilty of manslaughter, with a strong recommendation for mercy.

Allen was sentenced to five years' im-prisonment.

Following a fight among several men at a hotel on March 8, Allen was

knocked down.

When Allen arose and saw Smith ap-proaching him, Allen allegedly jabbed a broken glass into Smith's neck, causing wounds which led to his death from haemorrhage next day.

Allen, through an interpreter, gave evi-dence that what he did was done in self-defence. He said that during the day of the brawl he had had 12 "middies" and nine "schooners" of beer. He did not remember striking anyone with a glass.

In passing sentence, Mr. Justice Max-well said he thought the jury had taken a very proper view of the case. The sentence he imposed was intended to re-flect on the serious nature of the weapon

which Allen had used.

Mr. J. J. B. Kinkead (instructed by Mr. C. S. Nicol) appeared for the de-

fence.

(Before Judge Barton.)

Mr. R. R. Kidston, Crown Prosecutor.

(Before Judge Holden.)

Mr. C. V. Rooney, Crown Prosecutor.

TINNED FISH THEFT

Forbes pleaded guilty and was re-manded for sentence.

Williams, who pleaded not guilty, was acquitted.

Mr. R. L. Taylor (instructed by Mr. P. N. Roach) appeared ,for the defence.

DISTRICT COURT

(Before Judge Markell and a Jury.) GRAHAME v COMMISSIONER

FOR RAILWAYS.

A claim for £105/5/ damages from the Commissioner for Railways was made by Hannah Catherine Grahame, of 8 Clarence Avenue, Dee Why. Of this sum, £24 was claimed for the loss in transit of a sewing machine sent by rail from Sydney to Wyong, and the re-mainder as reimbursement for money plaintiff alleged she had lost in earnings through loss of the machine. She said that odd dressmaking jobs brought her

about 30/ a week.

The defence was a denial of liability, or that if any liability existed it was limited to £3 in accordance with a condition printed, on the consignment form issued for all goods sent by rail.

In his summing-up, Judge Markell said that if a verdict were found for plaintiff she could not be awarded more than £3, and the jury so found.

Mr. C. L. Regan (by the Public Solici-tor) appeared for plaintiff; Mr. Theo. Coneybeare (by the Railways Solicitor)

for defendant.
