SUPREME COURT,
IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION, (Before Hla Honor Me Justice Russell)
14th January, 1870.
Les Amah v. H. G. James, $17.24.-This was a claim for wages from May to September, 1878, at the, rate of $10 per month, less 62.16 which he had received on account of provisions but had not used. The defend ant denied his liability. Plaintiff, he said, had been paid for May, but for the next three months, viz: June, July and August, he had not been paid, and it was kept back on account of some property which was missing. The plaintiff had been charged at the Police Court with stealing the miss ing articles, which comprised jewellery and a silk bed-quilt, the result being that the plaintiff was sent to six months' hard labor, and was now released before the expiration of his sentence. The plaintiff had, it ap- pears, taken out a summons for the amount now claimed before he went to gaol.

I am told that the Governor, and one of the heads of the fire department were up thors, and very creditably attempted to erthiguish the fire in a burning chimney. Finding their endeavors fruitless, ouc of them (I won't gamble on the truth of this report) ascended to the roof and sat on the chimney hoping to smother the flames, and actually did sit there until the smoke came out of his mouth and I thought he was on fire himself. My informant further says that the hostess asked if they were officers, If they were, she would wish them a vory good morning. She had had about a thou- Band offers there that night, and now she preferred a little fire for a change,
Our local evening paper called attention, long ago, to the advisability of havlug an experienced practical man at the head of the fire department; a man who knew a fire when he saw it, and was paid for know. ing it, and without wishing to be found guilty of an original remark, I should think It might mend matters soms.
If he knew enough to recognize the poverty of our resources and our inability to cope with a dangerous fire, that would be somethingy and if he had judgment enough to know when the fire was getting too big to be handled with our crazy old engines, and had the upper band of him, that would be still inore, and if he had the authority to back his knowledge and to adopt decisive measures for putting it down, that would be something which we may expect in the next century.

GREAT FIRE AT 081KA. On the 16th Dec, at half-past two in the morning, a great fire broke out in Osaka, in the house of one Nishimura, No. 30, Kamil-dori, I-cho-me, Ajikawa. At first the wind was from the west, but it soon shifted right round, and blew from the east. The fire was on the point of being got ander, when the breeze suddenly became strong, and the flames spread to- wards the west, ravaging and destroying all before them for a distance of more than 120 yards. It was checked at No. 3, in the street in which it was originated, and was thought to be almost ended, when the wind again changed to the west, and at about 4 o'clock the flames ran towards the east for a space of 140 yards. The fire was finally stopped at No. 13, 1-cho-me, at eight o'clock in the morning.
The area burat over comprises a space of more than 2 cho from east to west by 18
