COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL, JUNE 30.
[Before the LORD CattEF JUSTICF. and a Special Juries.]
PEGANI T. GOI)OLI'l AND ANOTHER.

This was an action to recover damages for an injury sustained by
the plaintiff in consequence of the violation of a contract by the
defendants, entered into with him. The plaintiff was an Italian
the defendants were foreign merchants, residing in London. If
appeared that the plaintiff was induced, in 182.3, to come to thi
country in order to enter into the service of the defendants. Afte
he had resided with them for a sufficient period of time for them
to form a judgment of his abilities, they entered into an agreement
with him for four years, tit 4(H)!. per annum. Ile was to perform
the duties of a French and Italian corresponding clerk, besides as-
sisting in any other ba-iness of the house. It appeared by the evi-
dence, that soon after this engagement was made, the plaintiff be.
van to behave with a great degree of rudeness to his employers.
Ile, betides, spoke of them to the other clerks of the house in a
manner to excite disrespect. At last, after having refused to do
several things that were required of hint, he wrote his employers a
most insolent and impertinent letter, for which, and his previous
rudeness and disobedience, lie was dismissed in 182.1. He then
apologised for writing the letter, and offered to return and petit:inn
his part of the contract. The defendants, however, declined to re.
ceive him back into their service, and lie now brought his action
for the breach of the contract.

The question was, whether the defendants were justified in dis-
missing him. All the other clerks in the office were called for the
defence, and they clearly proved the rude and disrespectful beha-
viour of the plaintiff towards his employers.
The Lonu CutEr JESTICE, in summing up, observed that it
was a mistake fir the plaintiff to suppose that, because he had an
engh yetnent with the defendants for tour years, that lie could not
be dismissed if he did not perform his duty, as even if he did not
behave in a proper and becoming manner towards his employers.
It was for the Jury to say whether they believed the account given
by the defendants witnesses ; if they did, ►hey would find a vet.
vict for them.
Verdict for the defendants.
ADA3ISOIY ✓. JARVIS.

It appeared, in this action, that some years bark the plaintiff;
an auctioneer, was employed to sell the effects of a man named So•
mersct, whose assignee, Jarvis told the plaintiff he was. The plain-
tiff accordingly sold Somerset's effects, and handed over the pro-
ceeds to the defendant. Shortly afterwards the Commission under
which the defendant represented himself as acting proved to be
Illegal, and Somerset brought an action against the present plain.
tiff for the value of his goods that hail been sold. Somerset reco-
vered a verdict for 1,0001., and the present plaintiff found himself
out of pocket 1,105/. by the transaction. It was for this sum he
sued the defendant, through whose representation and by whose
orders it was he sold Somerset's goods.
The facts having been proved, a verdict was found for the whole
amount.

GREAT WESTMINSTER DAIRY CONIPANT.--A Meeting
of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday, at
