qoestioss was, whether the plaintiff was a party to the
aseasgosawat which tato defendants had made. wilful
view to what they considered for the shin:rage of the
parties iaterested.
Ik. Souk tcoa-Orarcetat., Mr. MARRTATT. and Mr.
Cassroata,,, were fur the plaintiff: and Mr. ScaaLarv,
Mr. LITTLIDALY, and Mr. ARMSTROS(I, were for the
defendants.

The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction,
found their verdict for the defendants.

WILLIAMS I'. Ricr.

This ten an action fur wages due. The defendant
is an attorney of London, and the plaintiff lived with
him as housemaid. Some time shire 31r. Rice's house
was robbed of property to a very conriderable amount;
Mr. Rice discovered that, on the night of the accident,
his housemaid had admitted a man named Go alry, for-
merly his clerk, to sleep with her, and he caused both
the maid and the clerk to be taken into custody.—
Nothing appearing to tix them with the theft, the
sleepers were subsequently liberated ; but Mr. Rice, in
discharging the plaintiff from his service, refused to
pay bl. 4s. arrears of wages due to her.
Evidence was given of the service of Williams, and
also of the amount of stipend due to her.
Mr. SCARWT, for the defendant, stated that the
plaintiff was a yearly servant at the rate of 10 guineas
per annum, and contended, upon the authority of ue-
cided cases, that having quitted her service before the
expiration of the year, she was not entitled to recover.
Mr. CU/amts.—We quitted because you discharged
us.

Mr. SCARLETT.—Yes ; when yon let people into
one house to sleep* with you. The Learned Gentle-
min then cited a Case decided by Lord Ellenborongh ;
the case of" Spain v. Arnold," in Starkie's reports;
and-a second case, decided by Lord Kenyon, the case
of " Robinson r. Windgate," Ist Espinasse. The first
of these decisions was in an action by a servant for ser-
vice pirforrned. The plaintiff was hired by the year;,
aid it was the custom of the foully to breakfast at five
in..the morning, and to dine at two in the afternoon.
One day, when dinner was ready, the defend Ant or-
dered his servant to take some horses to the " Marsh,"
(a plate about a mile distant :) the plaintiff refused to
go until he had dined, and his master discharged him.
Lord Ellenhorougit said, " the contract being for a
year's service, the.year most be completed before any
wages can be demanded. If the servant refuses to
obey his master's order, the master is justified in turn-
ing him away : this may seem to be hard upon a ser-
vant; but it would be much harder if a servant could
beillowed to set himself up against his master in
household duties and regulations." In the second
action was brought by a servant suddenly die-
., to recover a month's wages in default of warns'
The defendant's answer was ti at the servant's
was habitually negligent, anti that he hi.
Aept out. Lord Kenyon said " this is a saf-
cause of discharge. If the plaintiff bad beet.
sy without justifiable cause, he would have
entitled to recover; but if be tniscontinets him-
Anteater has a right to get rid of him, and he
elaiut no notice at all." Mr. Srarlett eourleded
