Important Decision. An interesting decision
was made in one of our courts Yesterday, in
which the Gas Light company, was plaintiff,
and w. Williams, defendant. 1t was an ac-
ton to recover $40 for gas light furnished to
defendant at his store No 70 West Broadway,
in the six months ending Feb, 1910, as shown
by the metre in the store. The defence was
that Mr.. Williams did not use the gas but used
oil, and if the metre showed such it must have
been out of repair, and the gas pipes leaked
The plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to
pay as shown by the metre, which is correct
guide and that if the pipes leaked after the gas
passing into the store it was the duty ofdefend-
ant to have notified the Gas Company which
he failed in doing. The court charged that il
is the duty of persons having the gas fixtures
on their premises, to notify the company of any
defect. Verdict for plaintiff in amount OF claim
