Schoolgirl Injured By Explosion

TEST: TUBE WENT. "BANG" IN SCIENCE LABORATORY

Damages of £3,000 were recently awarded a 13-year- old schoolgirl who lost an eye following an explosion in the school laboratory during a chemistry experiment..

Lord Hewart sat with a special jury to hear the action, in which the girl, Rita Elizabeth Marjorie Juliette Kubach, sued through her father, Mr. Frederick William Kubach, a City merchant, of Sylvan Road, Upper Norwood, S. E.

The father was allowed £119 expenses.

These damages were awarded against Townson and Mercer, Ltd., wholesale and retail chemists, of Camomile Street, E.C., who supplied the chemicals to Park School, Lancaster Rond, South Nor- wood, where Rita attended.

Third parties to the proceedings | Mercer, Ltd.) were Frederick Allen and Sons (Poplar) Ltd., manufactur- ing chemists of Upper North Street, E. The issue as between them and Messrs. Townson and Mercer was discussed later the some day.

The jury found that there had been by Miss Elizabeth по negligence Hollands, proprietress and head- mistress of the school, who had also
