The Ebbw IoClle Company, in which the complainant sought RECOVER £1 4s 9d, amount alleged to be due for -JTAIN deductions made for slag," was first *&ed. I complainant stated that he was instructed J THE manager of the works to label a certain ,F Fly-wheel coal;" and the real question at was whether such instructions had been °|VEQ or not.—The Manager denied having given ^permission; but admitted that a conversa- 3 did take place between himself and the com- V^NANT. It was possible that Godwin^ might T considered himself right in so marking the but no such permission, implied or othex wise. Co d ever been given.—Mr Plews appeared for ^plainant, and Mr Green way and Mr Ward JPPEARED for the Company.—Mr Greenway, ad- E^SSING the Bench, stated that he was glad io Ms friend, Mr Plews, engaged on the other Upon the last occsaion when the case was RJF°RE the Bench, a suggestion was kindly thrown that this was a matter which would better be t ttled by arbitration. The case was adjourned °R that purpose, both sides seeing fit to carry it J*T' Upon the hearing of the evidence on the pre- Saturday complainant swore that he had ?°ken to the manager, and that the manager had P him permission to send out this tram of and mark it Fly-wheel coal." The manager ^IES this. He never gave any such permission, bee recollects some conversation having occurred ^T\VEEN himself and complainant, but he never J VE the latter permission, implied or otherwise, J? ^ND out coal marked Fly-wheel." They had ce ascertained that this particular tram was I at filled by complainant himself. However, klng at all the facts of the case, he concurred ^TH his friend Mr Ward, *,who represented the .V^PANY generally, that, in fairness to the men, .?EY would not contest the case, as it was possible /*AT complainant might have thought, from the ^ERSATION hehadwiththemanager.that an im- ATED permission was given him to label this par- SCMAR tram Fly-wheel." The Company were JREREFORE willing to give the man the benefit of JJE doubt that might arise but it must be dis- ??Ctly understood that the manager never gave such permission. He would receive the ont he claimed for, but the Company did not that these deductions were other than legi- Ii Inate. There would, in fact, have been nothing FT Arbitration, as the question was really one of Did this conversation take place or not ? Y 6 manager recollects a conversation taking F'FTCE between himself and the complainant, but r emphatically denies having ever- given or im- 4 led his consent to the marking of the tram K •'Y-wheel."—Mr Plews stated that, in fairness THE men, he wished to say one word in reply. J ^AS possible that the manager might have an IMPRESSION that he never gave or implied such F^ISSION, hut he (Mr Plews) had two witnesses OXIDES the complainant who heard the conversa- I, V? &ND the permission for the coal to be labelled ill ly-wheel." The manager, it was quite likely, I the discharge of his multifarious duties, may ^VE obliterated this from his mind. The Plainant had no doubt upon the matter. The JJH Was cut in a peculiar place and under pecu- circumstunces. The manager admitted that "as impossible to fill trams with clean small .j, and said it might be labelled "Fly-wheel." V *HE Chairman It is a pity to enter into the J,J^ITS of the case.—Mr Greenway: I have not 'erred to the fact that the tram was not marked ^1-—The Chairman In all matters of dispute it .QUESTIONS of agreement affecting the trade of country, it is more satisfactory, both to EM- BERS and employed, to have them settled by ^TUAL agreement. It is a pity that course should departed from. An appeal to the law always RENDERED a bitterness of feeling.—Mr Plews 6 generally try to throw oil upon the troubled ^JTERS.—Mr Greenway We all do so, I think.
