Associated with any near-ring R, and any set S of distributive elements of R, one has a natural notion of S-distributive R-modules, analogous to that of modules over rings and including the latter as special case (Frohlich [6]; we recall the details in Section 1). Since near-rings can be viewed as slightly deficient rings, it makes sense to enquire whether such near-ring modules share with modules over rings the familiar and important property of having injective hulls.
