Damages Awarded Over Fire Damage From Locomotive Sparks
A magistrate's ruling awarded a plaintiff damages against the Commissioner of Railways for two fires traced to sparks from Government locomotives. The court found the railway authorities not negligent due to coal shortages and delays in fitting finer mesh spark arresters, but noted they had ample notice the Newcastle coal stock would run out and should have prepared. The final judgment remitted the damages amount to the magistrate for assessment.
