Ilußl,t'oul Parer SaiwlotCl, Saturday.—Before Dr Josdpb
Drew. and Mr Jas. Bodge.
William Menden and John Doirrisg were charged with
breaking their contract with Mr C. Jody, of Radipole Mr It
N. Howard appeared on behalf of Mr Joey, and said it wee
well-known that Mr Jesty was a large employer of labour in
various parts of this criunty ; it ins with extreme regret that
he appeared before the Bench 111 such a ease ; but it was int- ,
namable for him to submit to be served as these men had
Penal him, without summoning them. Mr Jesty had entered
into a contract to remove • quantity of earth at Greenhill, to
611 up the low-lying ground on Sir Frederic Jib stone's mate.
The Local Board of this borough haul been agitating for months
to get this filled up, and Mr Jcaty hail entered into a contract
to remove it by • certain time. Ile had then made • ..ontract
with the men to remove the tarth for him. and the mode of pap
talent was to be ate,, flinch per yard. They received payment
on account 1111 Satunlay night, and at the conclusion of the
contract they would receive any balance unpaid. There was
an innovation that they were dissatedled with the amount they
summated they were taming and ehether they had had any
perom to measure the work, and he had ;:iven theta an Won
that they were not corning enough, he dhl pot know • but it
to, such idea was incorrect, for Mr Stogie, an experienced
valuer, had seen the work. Hr Howard, to ehow in what
ismitum these men Stood hl la., referred to the dictum of
Chief Baron Pollock, who said "There is all the difference
between a person contracting to do the work himself, and eon.
tractlaig that the wick shall be done." - Mr Charles Jorty was
mom to his information, In which he said he was a road and
land surveyor residing at liatiqede, 'tear the borough, and he
had a contract to MI up the Park land on the Johnstone este&
Oil Monday he engaged the defendants to excavate and load
• into cart, a quantity 41 earth at 2)11 per cubic yard. They
received ale between thrill, and on Mond y they left hie
entitle,- without his authority. He asked that the contract
tuight he atundled and a One imposed, that the other men in
his employ might not hilhor this example. Mr Jody continued
that during the time of the removal of this earth, they were to
work f tr him till the work was completed, and for no one else.
The wages were to be by the cubic yard, Mr Naugle was to
measure the work, and he would pay them the same as Mr
Jesty was paid. On Tueolay mor ghe sent down three
cans, throe bones, two men, and two boys, • man to help tip,
and the boys to drive. In consequence of the men leaving
work the horses and carts could not be filled till plaintiff sent
to Ridgeway 11111 for men to fall their place, the horses and earth
were kept idle In the morning, and did very little work that day.
Two other men were to ain the work with these two ; but defen-
dants were to give their own ;tenoned labour ; the work was all
staked out for them, and they knew exactly what to do Ha
did not wish to have anything 1111 l re to 1141 with the men, es
they had served hint like this. - By one of the defendants : Did
not tell the men that if they dill not like it. they could lave. ,it
sod goto -. Ile told them they might leave when they had
done the whole, if they liked—The men said that Mr Jesty put
his own price 011 the 'lnk; but they could 1114 dolt for 211 a
yard. —Mr Itilledge said that was the men', own affair ; they
taught to have taken care of that before they entered into the
contract. —Mr Henry Nangle sail he was agent of sir Frederic
Johostone, and had been accustomed to valuing, for many
years. Some few monthlies ago, Mr Jeaty drew attention to

Jesty "subbed" them tas 1041 a day, till the " Junk " was
finished. Did not know the men were about to leave, till they
were absent in the montane. They were four altogether in a
