FEBRUARY CIVIL TERM, 1SI9-BoNNEY, j., PRE-
SIDING.
THURsDAY.-Edward McGinty ais Vs. DAME. Gal
agher ct ais. Action to damages for breach
of contract. The plaintiffs claim to have made
contract with the defendants, stevedores to unloai
and discharge all the coal brought by the steamers
the winter of 1s7-7s an agreed price of Ten
cents per ton that sfer having discharged the coal
in the forward batch of the first Gamer, the defend
ants, in violation of the contract, put another crew
to the main hatch and refused to allow the plain
tifs to proceed further. Damages claimed six hun
dred dollars.
The defendants deny that such contract was
made. They say taat the plaintiffs came to them for
work and were set to di,chargng the forward latch
that nothing was sad about dschargtng vessels for
the season; that after working one mig and one
day they finished that hatch aud went home; du'ing
the night orders came to take the vessel another
wharf and begin discharsing coal in the main hatch;
defendants ut crew from the wharf and went 10
work; that when plaintiffs returned in the morning
they told they coui ta6e the place Of the Sec
ond crew as soon as they were tired out. This the
plaintiffs refused to do and left that plaintiffs were
engaged to work the same others were working
not by the ton. but by the hour, and plaintiffs were
subsequently paid for the labor thus performed. The
plaintiffs say that the money paid them wa not for
the labor on the COAL but for other labor around
the steamer on the day after her arrival. Verdict
for the defendants.
&C. Clifford for plaintiffs.
G. f. Holmes for defendants.

preaching delegate convention to select a
nominee.
But, with every desire to serve the city, and
to Obige my many too partial friends, who

situation of the CITY, are arduous and require
occupant. hav- had one most serious warn
ing of the effects of over-Work, to which my
duty to my family and myself b Dis me give
heed. Besides, Continuance in Office is incon-
sisIent with my oblig atoms to my partner,
and involves virtual abandonment of my pro-
fession to which L am drawn by my taste and
inclination. For these and other reasons
respectfully, but decidedly, to ask to be excused
from further service.
have thought of no more proper way to
communicate with the Convention than
through you. | will thank you to make known
to that honorable body, in due eeason, the
contents hereof. ..
