LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in i3anco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn,
and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shee.)
CLARK V. BURCHETT AND OTHERS.

Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., moved for a rule calling
on the defendant to show cause why a conviction by
justices of peace of Heston, in Middlesex, should not be
reversed, on the ground of misconstruction of the law. It
appeared that the plaintiff was a brick moulder, and was
employed by the defendant, who is proprietor of brick-
fields at Heston, in common with others, to work for
him at a certain price, which contract was reduced to
writing, and he also made a parole promise to
raise the wages of the plaintiff to the same rate of pay-
ment as might be made by the proprietors of adjoining
briekfields, providing they were increased. This he re-
fused to do, and the consequence was that the plaintiff and
other workmen left his employment, upon which he laid
an information, and they were severally convicted and
sentenced to a month's imprisonment. Thn warrant for
their committal was, however, suspended, and the facts as
declared by the learned counsel were admitted oadiae part
of the defendants. He founded his application on the
ground that the magistrates had misconstrued the law in
respect to the circumstances, the oral and written contract
being a part of the engagement, which being infringed the
plaintiff had a bona fide right to quit his employment.
Rule granted.
