MANSION-HOUSE.
William Bates, journeyman gunmaker, was brought
before Alderman Kennedy, upon a warrant.
Mr. John Barnett, of the Maoris., master gunmaker,
stated that the defendant contracted in writingto serve the
deponent sa • handicraftsman in the business of gunmaker,
and ogres& to give three months' notice before quitting the
employnlent. -He had remained in such service until the
Oa el/ May and then left his employment without say
waft whileva, although his wages were punctually paid,
emi dare was full employment in his work. The informs.
lies esschaded with stating that Mr. Barnett believed that
the defendast had accepted work from Mr. Moses, of Bit.
aleibele. when he was apprehended.
Oeserenniinad by Mr. Wontner—The defendant was
aid piaswork, at so much per piece.
Mr. Wontner, in defence, said that the agreement was an
agreement for piece.work, which was not embraced within
the meaning of the act of parliament, because it could not
be alleged for one moment that the defendant was not
entitled to accept other service in addition to that which he
was required to do in the employment of Messrs. Barnett
and Co. The case was, he said, most important to the
trade, particularly at the present time.
Alderman Keesady drew a distinction between the pre-
sent ore sad the eas of workmen who had contracted by
the plaw. In the present case it was clear that the contract
wes to save and be paid galantine relent, but the agreement
was weatially an agreement to serve end therefore case
Tidal the meaning of the act. It had, however been
represented to him, on the part of the complainant, that
there was no desire to pan for punishment, but merely to
prove to persons of that class that the Landon masters
should meet with the protection to which they were entitled;
and as the defendant had expressed his willingness to resume
kis employment, it would satisfy the bench that he should
enter into his own recognisance' in the sum of 201. to attend
and hear judgment when called upon.
The defendant then stated that he had acted under the
impression that he was perfectly justified in the course he
had pursued; but, as it appeared he was mistaken, he would
forthwith return to Mr. 13arnett's employment. He was
then bound over to appear if required.
