EREACIL OF AGREEMENT.

FRANCIS. v. D this case Charles-Francis was
the plaintiff, and Thomas Davies the defendant. The
declaration was in assumpsit and set forthun agreement
was made between the plaintiff and defendant, whereby
the plaintiff undertook to serve the defendant for a period
of two years and five months, at a salary of £lO4 a-year,
payable by weekly wages, the hours of servitude to be be-
tween the hours of nine o'clock in the morning and half-
past seven in the evening, illness excepted. The plain-
tiff averred that he entered into the-defendant's employ-
ment, and served up to July, 1843, according to the terms
of the agreement, and was willing to continue up to the
end of the term, but the plaintiff illegally, and without
reason, discharged him. The defendant pleaded that the
plaintiff did not serve according to the terms of agreement,,
that he neglected his work, worked for other persons in
his employer's time, used defendant's materials for such
work, and fraudently sold the defendant's materials. Mr.
James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Arnold for the
defendant. The plaintiff, was a watch jeweller, and the
defendant carried on business in Bold-street, under the
firm of Litherland, Davies, and Co. In the beginning of
the year 1840, the plaintiff was engaged by the defendant
for a period of six years, at a salary of 40s. per week for
the first two years, and 50a. per week for the remainder.
In 1842 some misunderstanding arose between the parties
and another agreement was entered into in November.
~,By this the plaintiff was to continue in the service of the
plaintiff for the remainder of the term for 40s. a week,

but in July last the plaintiff was discharged, and the ac-
tion was brought to recover compensation for being so
dismissed. On the part of the defendant, witnesses were
called to prove that the plaintiff was very irregular in his at-
tendance at the shop, and also to prove that he sold jewels to
the watch finishers, when they broke them, at a cheaper
rate than they would have been furnished by Mr. Davies,
and the inference which the learned counsel wished to
draw from the evidence was that the plaintiff in his em-
ployers time put in 'the jewels for the finisher, charged
them a certain sum for it and pocketed this sum, although
he had taken a
,iewel belonging to his employer. The
course the finishers should have adopted was to take the
watch down to Mr. Davies, and get a ticket to plaintiff,
who W. place in the jewels, and the cost was to be de-
