Court hears dispute over loading work for onions
In Police Court led by Mr V Tanner, the case centered on a balance due for loading, stacking, and unloading onions at the Madit railway station. The complainant claimed the defendant’s agent arranged the work and set the price, while the defendants argued lack of proof of agency and no authority to bind payment. The magistrate upheld the complaint and ordered payment with costs. Also noted are reports of illness of Mr KK Walton and a Colac Catholic Federation meeting discussing membership drives and campaign plans.
