CHOP CLAIM

AWARD OF £176 FOR

SUFFERING

Special damages of £449, with £176 for pain and suffer- ing, were awarded in the King's Bench Division recently to Mr. Eugene Aron, of Hunton Bridge, King's Langley, Herts., who claimed that he had been made ill by a pork chop which he ate at the Royal Automobile Club.

He sued Automobile Proprietary, Limited, owners of the club, who denied that Mr. Aron's illness was due to anything he had eaten at the club.

Mr. Justice Singleton, giving judgment, with costs, said that Mr. Aron was a healthy man before October 17, 1936, when he lunched with some guests at the club.

He had half a dozen oysters, a pork chop, come vegetables, a millk pudding; and mineral water. None of his guests had pork chop. That struck one immediately as a le unusual, and perhaps a little heavy. but Mr. Aron had not to work in the afternoon.

MR. ARON'S DEMEANOUR

Mr. Justice Singleton referred to Mr. Aron having chicken in the even- ing and feeling l next morning.

"I listened to his evidence," said his lordship, "and I watched his demennour in the witness box. I was satisfied that Mr. Aron was a witness of truth and endeavoured to tell me the facts in so. far as he knew and could remember them.

"Difficult as I believe it to be to prove a case like this, I feel that, on the evidence, the plaintiff put forward a strong case-a case on which, if a jury had to come to a decision they would be amply justi- fed in finding that the plaintiff had

proved his case.

CLUB CAREFUL WITH FOOD "In so far as I can see, the Royal Automobile Club is very careful with its food in the ordinary way. I should think that most people would be satisfied that those responsible for serving meals in the club take great This action is not dependent upon a finding of negligence by them

#1 all."

The judge thought the time ni which Mr. Aron became ill ruled out his Illness being due to anything eaten on the night of Oct. 17, and he was forced to the conclusion that lunch-time on thot day was the most likely time of infection.

Beaufort West, S. Africa.

. Dec. 28.

HE chance discovery of a

bone on a farm in the Mur- raysburg district has led to the finding of parts of a huge skele ton, which, it is believed, may

ave belonged to a brontosaurus. One bone formed a small part of a front leg, und measured 4ft. in length by about 5in. in breadth. At the top of the bone was a hole into which a man's head could ft.

Another bone appeared to be a breast-bone, about 31, long and 1ft. wide, while rib bones also dug up measured between 2ft. and 3ft. in length.

About 15ft. from the breast-bone a jawbone was found. Queer fat teeth, about 4in. long and in, wide, were also discovered.

The brontosaurus, which roamed in the district some 100,000 years ago, was 05ft. long and 25ft. high, and weighed 40 tons.

London, Jan. 11. Anxiety about the effect on Great Britain's cotton and rayon trade of the recent Japonese-Australian com- mercial agreement was expressed at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Manchester Chamber of Com- merce to-tlay.

An official statement was issued after the meeting, and expressed the opinion that the United Kingdom Government ought to co-operate more effectively with the Australian Government so as to make it practi- cable for Australia to maintain, more favourable terms for the Lancashire textile export trade.

The Board decided to support re- presentations to the Prime Minister, urging the Cobinet to adopt a policy stipulating, in the discussion of com- mercial agreements with Empire and foreign countries, satisfactory assur ances of a stable market for British cotton and rayon goods. This should be an absolute condition for favour- able terms in the United Kingdom market, the Board -arguez-Reuler,~~~
