INJURED WORKMEN'S £8,500 Unknown Perils From She Has 2 'Planes

"THIS case is rather like the Croydon typhoid case in as much as we now know much that we didn't know before," said Mr. H. J. Wallington, K.C., in the King's Bench Division recently when a settlement involving the payment of £8,500 damages to two workmen in a chemical factory was mentioned to Mr. Justice Lewis.

Plaintiffs were Eric Laurence Lee and Sydney Ste-to phen Radford, employees of the Leyton Manufacturingng in ten netes of rounds, Company, Limited, of Hainault Road, Leytonstone.

Mr. Cartwright Sharp, K.C., for the workmen, said there was not now any doubt that, owing to vapours arising from certain chemicals, very grave personal injurica had been inflicted on the plaintiffs. The point in the case was whether that was due to the negligence of the company.

"Itadford is in terrible state,” | he added, "and Lee is suing by his next friend' as he is incapable of managing his own affairs."

UNABLE TO WORK AGAIN Mr. Sharp said Lee would receive £3,300 and Radford £5,000, clear of 111 costs. Lee would probably never be able to do any work again.
