H C of A

On appeal from the Supreme Court of Victoria.

8 September 1914

Griffith C.J., Isaacs, Gavan Duffy, Powers and Rich JJ.

S. R. Lewis, for the plaintiff.

Griffith C.J.

No general question of law arises in this case. At most the question is whether any inference of negligence can be drawn from the facts in evidence. For myself I should like to add that I think the decision is manifestly right.

Isaacs J.

concurred.

Gavan Duffy J.

I agree that this is not a case for special leave. So far as the matter has been argued I am disposed to think that the decision of the Full Court is right.

Powers J.

concurred.

Rich J.

concurred.

Special leave to appeal refused.

Solicitors, for the plaintiff, Plante & Henty for J. R. Town, Swan Hill.
