At the Lower Hutt Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday, which was presided over by Mr E. Shaw, R.M., a civil action of W. Lawrence v. J. and D. Sinclair (sawmillers, Wainuiomata) was heard. The plaintiff sought to recover £6 10s 10d, balance of wages alleged to be due at the rate of 9s per day. He failed, however, to establish his claim, and had to submit to a nonsuit.
