Whiting in addressing the jury said the case might be called A "Tempest in a teapot." In this ease his damages are limited by one menth"s wages. 'The only question to , bo dealt with is, "Was he discharged by the municipality or aid he chuck up his job." The difficulty arose over running the third truck. The ferry has to be run as economically as possible, It was one of those times when (m ployees are supposed to exert a little fiort to "make hay while the fun hines."" Briceland did not: ask the captain to put his hand to the truck; the wate wis there and could have done it. The captain said, "If you say so, Ul go now." It was plainly a waiving of all his rights, he appar: ently did not want a thirty duy s no tice. Even after a chance to cool off, coming over from Wolfe Island, he left of his own free will. He simply got mad and chucked his job. But this is an action agamst the township not triceland. The reeve had no right to discharge him. Crawford savs himself that Briceland had no right to dis charge him. Crawford should have gone to council and said "Briceland and 1 have had a diffe rence, and want vou to readjust it," instead he woes and says, he won't work unless Briceland is dismissed.

You all know how impossible it is for a mariner to get employment so late in the sea: son as May 25th. The evidence of. ho councillors says there was no tion of his dismissal. If he was he missed he should be paid his wages ond if you seo fit he is entitled to damages. Justice Clute in his said the first guestion is: a contract? The cccond Was plaintit discharged or leave ? There it no doubt the captain took the initiative in thinking he was to leave. Did the reeve's words mean a dismissal ? Was the captain correct in taking the reove's statements as a discharge. He is not entitled to re cover damages if he left of his own free will, but if it is found he was dis- missed he is entitled to one month's salary. The jury returned a verdict of 850, one month's salary, holding that the captain had Been discharged. tr THE SOVEREIGN FIRE.
