SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)

PRINTERS' APPRENTICES.-IMPORTANT CASE.-MACFAR-
LANE, JUN., V. RAIT AND CO.

Mr. Blakely appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Gibson for

the defendants. Plaintiff is a lad, a compositor, and de-
fendants are printers, of Newgate-street. The action was
brought to recover the sum of 30s. for two weeks' wages in
lieu of notice. The evidence of the plaintiff went to show

that he was discharged at, 5 o'clock on Saturday morning,
under the following circumstances :—He had been ,at work
from 9 o'clock the previous morning, and about 1 en Satur-
day morning, having finished his composition, and waiting
only for his proof, he obtained a promise from one of his
fellow apprentices to do his portion of the corrections. He
then asked one of the defendants if he could go, and was
told that he must wait for his own proofs, as the
others had, as muck to .do as they could gat- through.
About four o'clock, one of the defendants brought him a
proof which did not belong to him and told him to do the
corrections. Plaintiff grumbled a little, but did the work,
andiat five o'clock he was told to takehis coat and "stick," as
his services could Ee dispensed with. On the part of the de-
fendants it was admitted that the custom of the trade allowed
an apprentice a fortnight's notice provided he behaved him-
self, but in the present ease there had been a downright re-
fusal to do some work handed to him by the overseer.
Mr. Inwood, one of the defendants, stated that when he
handed plaintiff the first piece of proof to correct, plaintiff
was very unwilling, and said if he did anybody else's work
he should charge for it. Witness said, of course, and plain-
tiff did his work. A second piece of proof was then given
to him, but instead 'of doing the corrections he put
the proof upon the frame of the person who set
the matter. A question then arose as to the
custom of the trade and as to the right of an overseer
to set the compositor to do another compositor's corrections.
It was stated that it was the custom, when the work was
very much behind, for such a course to be taken, and for a
charge to be made.

Plaintiff said that he thought :the piece handed to him
had been corrected, and that the galley was pulled.
This was denied by Mr.:lnwood, who said he expressly
told the lad to correct the marks.

His Honour said he thought it was too much for a lad
like plaintiff to work so many hours, but he took the work
and must abide by the rules of the trade. The only ques-
tion was, how long was plaintiff bound.to wait for his proofs
to come out ?

Plaintiff's father, who said he had 36 years' experi-
ence, said it was not usual to wait longer than one hour,
but on the part of defendantii it was insisted that a composi
tor was bound to wait till the proofs came out.
His Honour said, upon the evidence before him, he had a
downright refusal to work, and he must find for defendants.

Intelligence has been received from Dr. Living-
item up to the 4th of October. Writing on that
late from the Kongone River, to the Rev. W.
Thompson, he states:—
"My dear Mr. Thompson,—l could not possibly
write you by last opportunity from the Zambezi ;
but there was so little to communicate you were no
loser. We have now had more time to look about
us, and I think we have ascertained the point that
ntering this river at the time we did is nearly quite
safe, if no delay takes place among the mangrove
swamps. We have been favoured with fair health,
and have had ailments more like common colds
than fever. Two of the party are now at Tete, and
the others hope to join them shortly. We got a
ton and a half of coals there, the first ever taken
out of the earth in that country; and as the Por-
tuguese have shown a great deal of public spirit,
we are almost sure of a larger supply when we
return. My poor fellows received me with joy.
They had been taunted by the Tete people
that their Englishman would never return
but they hoped on, and have amassed quantities
of beads, to take back to their own country.
Thirty of them died of small-pox, and six were
killed by a rebel chief at the confluence of the
Suneya. The confidential servant of Lekwebu is
with me now on board the launch, which is so small
we could not bring more of them down, though they
were anxious to come into our service. We found
the country in a state of war, and the Portuguese
were too busy with that to help us with canoes. It
is finished now. and my old friend, Major Lecard,
at once assisted us with luggage ; but it has quite
depopulated the land adjacent to the river. We
see the river in this month at its very lowest • and
as it spreads out into from one to three miles in
width, the broad parts are very difficult. When
we get up to Lupata our difficulties vanish, for
above that point it is in one or two channels of
about 1,000 or 1,200 yards broad. I admire its size
more than ever. When I came down in a canoe it
was full, and I saw but one channel where now are
two or three. If the Portuguese would be at the
expense of a few piles driven in, to effect what
'snags' sometimes do now, deep channels might be
secured for the whole year. They are going to
build a fort and custom house at this or the
Luallo.—With kind regards, &c.
