| WHTE SERvAsrs.-Yestsrdsy, in the Court OF
quarter Sessions, case OF some importance 10
domestics was disposed Of A servant brought an
| action Of assault and battery against her employ.
er She alleged that she had been ordered to leave
the house, and that, her refusing to do 90 until
her wages to the end of the week were paid, she
was forcibly elected by the proprietor. To this
story the defendant answered that the conduct of
the girl had alarmed bis wife and daughters, and,
on being requested to leave she reftYsed He then
ordered her to pack her goods, and he would nav
her wages. This she refused to do, and immedi.
ately ran screaming through the ball into the
| street. and there raised great outcry. Witness
es were called to prove that the girl was not
touched by any one in the family, aud that she
loft Voluntarily and in the manner above describ.
cd.
Judge Allison charged the Jury that, II the
story OF the defendant was true, he should be
acquitted. and as an example, the cost placed upon
the prosecutrix. 1t was, he said, a great mistake
on the part OF servants to imagine they were mis-
tresses of the household. They must leave a
house as soon as ordered ont, no matter whether
their wages are paid not that question could be
settled elsewhere. II servant refuse to leave
when ordered. then the master is justified in
using just such force as is necessary to remove
her. hejury returned verdict of not guilty,
and ordered the prosecutrix to pay the costs.
Judge Allison then called her up and said-The
jury have acquitted the defendant and put the
costs on you; and think very properly, as it ap-
peared from your own statement, that you behaved
very badly. If he used no more force than was
necessary to put you out, he had perfect right to
do so. In many instances servaats imagine that
they have the entire control of the house 10
which they are engaged, and this practice of per.
sons going in and setting themselves up az the
proprietors, is becoming great evil and one
which requires checking, and the way to do so is
in the manner in which the jury have disposed of
your case Ii 4 few cases of q like character were
disposed of in this way, 1t would 60 far towards
remedyng this evil. As servant you are bound
to behave yourself properly, and If the proprietor
orders you to leave, 1t is your DUTY to do with
out creating any disturbance. IT you have any
claim against him for wages go before a magis>
trate, where the controversy can be settled. The
idea that servants act they please is a great
error, and must be dispelled You mast remain in
custody until the costs are paid.

the conclusion that the said landlord "couid
keep" not only "a hotel" but the best in the
'United States aud Canadss." The Convention
then adjourned.
The members, full OF bright anticipat'ons of
free passes from the Captains Office, confidently
stepped up the clerk and asked for their bills.

latter is the proprietor Of lager beer saloon. and
aa ar. sinton resides in the house adjoining. The

cnorns-all combined, constituting an ANNOYANCE
which neither Mr.. Sinton nor any other peaceab Die
citizen could patiently endure. The proceeding q
on Saturday aud Sunday nights last were especi.
ally complained of. It was alleged that the reyels
were not confined to the saloon. but was carried
on boisterously in the yard. For the defence,
several witnesses were introduced, all of whom
testified that mayonke's house was a quiet and
orderly establishment; and that the object of the
adjournment to the yard in the rear, complained
OF by Mr.. Sinton, was to gsze upon the moon,

tiuue the use of oil, and not use gas:
The Subscribers beg leave respectfully to re.
monstrate sgainat the plan now in agitation for
LIGHTIyG THE CRY WITH GAS as they consider 1t a
most mex pedient. offensive and dangers mode of
lighting. In saying this they are fully sustained
by the accounts Of Explosion, Loss OF Life, and
great destruction of property, where this mode OF
lighting has been adopted. We consider GAS to be
an article as IGNIrABLE AS GUNPowDER, aud nearly
fatal in its sfects as regards the immense des-
truction Of property, We believe the vast number
of fires in New York and other cities, may be in a
great measure ascribed to this mode of lighting;
the leakage OF pipes and carelessuess of stopping
off the Gas, furnish almost daily instances of its
destructive effects. Aud when We consider that
this PowERFUL and DESTRUCTIVE AGENT must
necessarily be often left to the of youth. dos
mestics, and careless people, We only wouder that

the American Government and its officers ar.
pushing matters very far indeed, and by no mssns
responding to the frank and friendly manner In
which the practice Of visitation and search Was
entirely surrendered by tie British Government,
and says that
"It really seems to come to this, that ne En-.

ship, however conciliatory his coBduct, however
uuassuming his demeanor, however unwilling or
unable he may be To- apply compuision, without
giving casas teih against this coustry"
In the city article Of T.e Times attention is di
rected to American policy In regard to Mexico, az
also to the Efforts of France and Spain to obtain
redress for injuries sustained, while the British
Government is censursd for its total apathy in the
matter.
