  Commonwealth to Pay £223.
  Judgment for the plaintiff was de
  livered by the Chief Justice (Sir John
  Northmore), yesterday, in a Supreme
  Court action in which special and general
  damages were claimed by Percival James
  Clegg, a jobbing contractor, from the
  Commonwealth of Australia. Mr. L. W.
  Jackson (instructed by Jackson, McDon
  ald, Connor and Ambrose), appeared for
  the plaintiff, and Mr. N. P. Lappin and
  Mr. H. V. Reilly (Dwyer and Thomas),
  for the defendant.
  The claim arose from a collision be
  tween Clegg's motor car and a motor van
  driven by Arthur Frederick Jenkin, an
  employee of the Postmaster-General's
  Department, at the intersection of Bar
  ker-road and Axon-street, Sublaco, onFix this text
  the afternoon of December 19 last. Clegg
  was severely injured in the collision,
  which each driver alleged was due to
  negligence on the part of the other. The
  defendant counterclaimed £27/8/8 on
  account of damage caused to the motor
  van.
  Giving judgment for the plaintiff on
  the claim and counter-claim, with costs
  ip each instance, the Chief Justice held
  that the accident resulted entirely from
  the negligence of the defendant's em
  ployee. His Honour said that Jenkin had
  blown his horn when some little distance
  from the intersection, and then-being
  apparently under the impression that this
  blowing would blow everyone else out of
  his way-had entered on the intersection
  at a pace which, in the circumstances,
  was excessive. The plaintiff would be
  awarded £73/6/ special damages and
  £150 general damages.¹
