Claims
for comcensation.
In 1881, the Vestry became engaged in an expensive litigation
which proved adverse to the Vestry, but which involved such
serious questions that the Vestry felt it incumbent upon them to
take it to the Court of Appeal.
The facts of the case are very simple. The Plaintiff was
going home from work two days after the momorable snow storm
of the 18th January, 1881, and when passing along Charles Street,
it is alleged he slipped on the iron plate forming the cover to the
Blackmore
v. Vestry.
