.

MR. ASQUITH EXPRESSES ABHORRENCE.
LONDON, November 23.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Asquith will propose a motion on November 24 expressing abhorrence of Sunday's brutal assassinations in Dublin and condemning the action of the Executive in attempting to repress crime by terrorist reprisals which involve the lives and property of frocent persons and are contrary to civilized usage.
REFERENDUM ON HOME RULE BILL SUGGESTED.
LONDON, November 23.
T
The events in Dublin have created a very unfavourable atmosphere for the second reading and debate on the Home Rule Bill which begin in the House of Lords to-day. It is felt that the result, whatever it be, cannot fail to be of far reaching importance to Ireland, Great Britain, and the Empire alike. The most competent observers agree that it is impossible to foretell the result with certainty. Hence the Government is undisguisedly endeavouring to obtain a fall attendance of members. The most prominent peers are participating including the Lord Chancellor, who opens the debates Lord Morley, and Viscount Grey of Falloden, who is expected to make an especially weighty contribution. Baron Clifford of Chudleigh has given notice of a motion for the Bill to be submitted to an Irish referendum in order to assume a form acceptable to them. A division on the second reading is expected on November 25.
HOME RULE BILL IN THE LORDS.
LONDON, November 23. The House of Lords was crowded, the attendance including Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Bonar Law, and Sir Edward Carson round the steps of the Throne, for the second reading of the Bome Rule Bill The Lord Chap- cellor, who gave a lengthy review of the measure, read a letter from Sir Edward Carson saying that Ulster was prepared to accept the Bill and work it loyally. He denied that the English wanted to deny Irishmen anything to which they were entitled and emphasised that the scope of the Bill offered Ireland a greater degree of self-government than any Irish leader had ever claimed until a republic was demanded. Referring to event's In Dublin on Sunday he declared that the primary object of the murders was to intimidate courts martial and to capture documents.
CAPTURE OF VITAL SINN FEIN DOCUMENTS.
A
A great capture was recently made of the most accret and vital docu ments appertaining to the Sinn Fein military revolutionary organisations. The authorities intended to make fullest use of the documents. secondary object of the selecting of November 21 for the outrages was the belief that they would influence a section of opinion of the legislature. It was at a critical stage of the Bill in the House of Cotomans that the attempt was made on Lord French's life. He declared that the extremists were being beaten and that the issue was already going against them. The other day be was shown a communication from a local Sing Fein organisation to the Sion Fein Headquarters asking that the branch be granted dispensation from attacking policemen for two months because the pursuit had become increasingly dangerous.
ONLY ALTERNATIVE.
He pointed out that if the Bill was not passed the Home Rule Act of 1914- was automatically operative when the Treaty with Turkey was ratified. It was impossible to put the 1914 Act into operation. If the present Bai was not passed the only alternative was to repeal the 1914 Act. He announced that the Government would not accept the reponsibility of such a repeal. Not a single Unionist Cabinet Minister was prepared to take that course. He said that the only danger to the B was the possibility of a coalition between those thinking the Bill had gone too far and others thinking it had not gone far enough.

CLAIM FOR WAGES.
STEAMSHIP COMPANY SUED.
CAPTAIN'S SUCCESSFUL ACTION,
...
In the Supreme Court this morning the Puisse Judge. Mr. Justice Wood,. gave judgment for the plaintiff in the suit of F. W. Joces, former master of the Stander Chean Chow against the owners of the vessel, the Chean On Steamship Company, Lid...... for $647.50 claimed by him as wages ¿ve wader the general award made las May to officers on China Corsi steam- ers. The case was heard yesterday morning.
Captain Joces tas dismissed in March, and received three months' wages in lieu of notice. The award. when given, was retrospective to December. He asked for the differ ence between the old and new rates of pay from December to March, and for the three month's additional pay.
His Lordship said: I have not "pre- pared any judgment in this case, but I was asked yesterday morning to give judgment as soon as possible, and I am prepared to give my judgment now. The first point outstanding is the question of costs in regard to the amendment in the endorsement of the writ. I have decided that the plain- tiff on amendment must pay all addi- tional costs incurred by defendant ic consequence of the amendment in any event.
I propose to give judgment for the plaintiff for his whole claim.
The view indicated by me yesterday seems to be the correct view. The contract under which he (the plaintiff) was serving the company was, as agreed between the two parties, governed by the award made in the following May. and the award was retrospective. As a result the monthly salary drawn by Captain Jones under his contract was' at a higher rate. It was the condition of his contract. It was agreed. ac- cording to the custom of the port that in the event of his wrongful dismissal at any time, at the termination of his contract, he should receive as com- He pensation three months" salary. therefore became entitled on his dis missal to three months' salary under his contract as provided in his award- three months' salary at a higher rate, and unless the company can show that he waived the right to this compensa- tion by any action of his own they are bound to pay the amount now claimed. I cannot find that Captain Jones either by the receipts which he gave or by the letter, written by his solicitors ever waived his right to his full.com- pensation under his contract.
I therefore give judgment for the
