Plaint of
According to the conditions of the contract,
the monthly wage is $15.00 gold, 10 hours work a
day, and Sundays and festivals are holidays, and
master provides food and paɛɛages; and so petition-
er came. The master is very hard, etriking and
abusing petitioner, and only pays him 12 marks a
month. He has to work from 6 o'clock in the morning
up to 9 o'clock in the evening. If sick and unable
to work, he would be taken to Court and there beaten.
The contract is held by the master whose name is
Pakin and petitioner cannot say anything. He praye
Your Honour to direct that his wages be fully paid.
