IN RE PARKER.

This bankrupt was described as of Bermondsey, wheel-
wright, and came up to pass his examination, supported by
Mr. C. G. Lewis (Harrison and Lewis).

Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, to oppose on the
ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently disposed of his
property just before his bankruptcy.
Mr. W. R. Buchanan also opposed for creditors generally,
and it was contended that the bankrupt had made a frau-
dulent bill of sale, and that the accounts filed by the bank-
rupt were so unsatisfactory, that Messrs. Johnson and
Wilson had been retained to investigate them on behalf of
the creditors.

An adjournment for two months was applied for and

granted.

Mr. Lewis applied for the continuance of the allowance,
as there was £350 in hand, and there ought to be 20s. in

he pound.

INir. James—Yes, if we upset the deed.
Mr. Buchanan said as the bankrupt had a large family,
he should not oppose the allowance.
The case was adjourned for two months.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
MPORTANT CASE OF MASTER AND SERVANT,-PARKER

V. HOWEY.
This was an action to recover £1 for a week's wages, in
ieu of notice.

Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, stated that defendant
was a master and plaintiff a working carman. Plaintiff
wont into the service of defendant, after exhibiting various
testimonials, and remained in it for eight days—that is, two
days of one week, and a whole week, at the expiration of
which time he was discharged.

Mr. Abbot, for defendant, said that plaintiff was only
engaged on trial, and that he was discharged for incom-
petency.

Defendant's town agent, Mr. Rutherford, said that he
discovered plaintiff's unfitness for the situation on the first
day. He could not harness the horses.
In answer to Mr. Buchanan, as to why plaintiff was not
dismissed at once,

Mr. Rutherford said he thought of giving him another
chance.

Mr. Joyce thought plaintiff was entitled to recover, as
defendant had no right to keep him on to suit his own con-
venience without reference to that of plaintiff.
Verdict for plaintiff.
