Plaintiff's Position.
In this case I find that the plaintiff was neither Editor dor Asistant Editor of the "Shanghai Mercury," that he was employed ap-merely in the Editorial Depart ment to write leaders, and assist the Editor,, or chose who were from time to time acting as Editors or Assistant Editors, find that he was taken on, when, as he himself says, he was "down and out" and was paid a monthly wage.

doubtless soon be sent out..
It will be azen, that one of the additional five. Inspectors who up. | pear in the 1925 Estimates has) thus been approved. I propone to wait a month or two before raising again the question of the other

The cable received by Sangle, who will manage the Filipino nine. reads: "Guaranteed travelling lodg- "ing expenses but undecided other iees stop reach Japan until Septem; her tenth."
If, as expected, the touring players pass through Hongkong, there may be a chance of seeing them in action."

The Board has recommended for 1927 a further five Inspectore so that if these are approved there will be on paper the ten excess over the 1926 figure as was originally asked for. "
Medical Officers, Another question standing in Dr.
Koch's name was:
"Have any arrangements been made to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Dr. Pearse in or- der that the Department should not suffer from a shortage of Medical Ofeers of Health at present?"
The President Bald he waa authorised to make a statement, and replied that, it was proposed to fill
It cannot be suggested, that, ever. if the plantiff were Editor or Assistant Editor of the "Shanghai Mercury," that his position would compare with the Editor of "The Weekly Dispatch," the Foreign Sub-Editor of "The Times" or the Editor of "The
New York Herald.”
Moreover, when the plaintiff himself gave notice to the defen- dant rewspaper, he considered that one month's notice was a res. sonable notice to give. I have, therefore, come to the conclusiori that the notice given by the de- fendants, namely 50 days, was a reasonable and sufficient notice under a the circumstances" of this particular case. Even if he had been entitled to six months' notice, he has not shewn that he has suffered any damage.
