It. J. URQUHART, New College• IMP:aITANT DECISION.--A ueetsioo important tantWe.,, vas made on Thlit-41av last, in the Court Ot Cooscieuce, in Ful wood's cut 9.—A Geoll , :net) Roved won a domestic servant for a m:w!h . s %% at nisg, or a mouth's wages, hitt WitS •1)1 1 :,(t, cue ser gtosspeNs of behaviour, dist.a.i•s • jai with only lyric days notice, ot Io pay him to the day of his dismissal. ser,aut obtained by the extiaortfinaty judg - Ment cie Court, wages for a month bey' trod the day of gik ing warning. Tue Fenster very properly plea,:ed that the sery ,nt's .agreetnent to coini•lyte a month's service or forfeit a mow's': wags, necessarily ini;,lied a moderation and de cency of behavioor, and in ceasing to be respect ful, he ceased to fulfil one important duty con stitnting servitude, and consevently violated !Os contract. It was further urged, that any other construction of such agreements would render such covertauts de natura absurd, and would destroy all eciprocity obligation ; for if the servant wished to be relieved from his covenant, he has only to behave ill to that degree which renders it impos sible to retain him in the family, and he would thus not only obtain his release, but would re ceive a month's wages as a bounty or reward for such ill behaviour. Such an absurd construction of these agreements, enables servants to ob tain by misconduct one month's wages for a hew dart service, and being a direct encourage ment to bad morals, is, therefore, not only con trary to law and equity, but an agreement itself which is, de nalura, contra bonds mores is held to he illegal and void. It was lastly pleaded, that the case had been decided by the Chief Jus tice in the cause Saunders versus Gaulty, in the sittings after the present Term. The Court found for the plaintiff. The Act 23 Geo. 11. cap. 33 declares the decisions of these Courts to be final ; but a body of freeholders have resolved to avail themselves of a section of that act, which enables them to apply to the Chancellor for the remedy of such proceedings.
