WHEREAS the Warden's Court at Blenheim held an inquiry on the 23rd day of February, 1920, before Mr. P. L. Hollings, S.M., Warden, and Thomas Sullivan and Mark Fagan, Assessors, into the fatal accident to Leonard Humphries at the Dominion Mine at Wakamarina on the 14th day of December, 1919:

Now, therefore, after hearing the evidence of witnesses and visiting and inspecting the mine in company with the Inspector of Mines and Mr. James Carroll, the Mine-manager, notice of the following judgment is given by the Warden to the Minister of Mines in terms of subsection (8) of section 266 of the Mining Act, 1908:—

"That there has been non-observance by Mr. Carroll, the holder of the mine-manager's certificate, of the provisions of the Act in the following respects,—

"(1.) That the rise was not properly timbered as required by subsection (11) of section 254 of the Act;

"(2.) That ladders were not provided in the rise as required by subsection (43) of the same section;
