IS SUMMARY JURISDICTION.

BEFORE HIS HONOUR ME. H. H. J. GOMPERTZ (ACTING-PuisnE JUDGE).

MASTER AND BREVANT. Action was brought by Ho Yuk; a "boy" in the employ of Mr. G. Bertolous, to recover from his master the sum of $15.50 for wages due for 26 days.

Defendant stated that on the night of Norem ber 26th the plaintiff served a customer with cigarettes. The price for those was 45 cents, and the plaintiff failed to get the money. He told defendant that the purchaser took the bill. put it in his pocket and went away. Defendant said he would eat the 46 conte. Plaintif said, "that won't make me poor, and it won't Then he put on his hat, make you rich." walked out of the shop and did not retura on the following day.

His Lordship Your custom is that servants who serve a customer are responsible for the -bill being paid P--Yes.

I suppose there is no chance of this matter being settled P-I did not intand to "cut" him. but when he approached me in an awfully cheeky manner I got the mag" and told him he could go. I intended to summons him, but did not know his address, and did not seo lur - again until I got this summons.

Do you want me to hear the case, or do you wish me to settle itP--I will leave it to your Lordship.

Plaintiff was called and stated that a customer who entered the shop smoked 45 cents worth of cigarettes, said they were bad, and refused to pay for them. Plaintiff reported the matter to a European in the shop who tried to collect the the money, bat was unsuccessful. When the master entered he said he would deduct 45 centa- from witness' wages. Witness objected, as he had tried to collect the money, but was unable to do so. Defendant then dismissed him. Plain. tiff asked for his wages, and was told that he would be paid on the 28th November. He -called on the morning of that day, and de- fendant told him to call again in the afternoon. When he returned in the afternoon defendant would not let him in, and refused to pay him his wages. Defendant's wife was in the shop. when the foreignor refused to pay for the cigarettes, and she let the man go.

His Lordship-If the European would not pay and the plaintiff reported the matter to a European, then he cannot be held responsible.

DefendantHe did not report the matter until the man had left the shop. It is very hard to deal with these boys, and one must be very strict. Lam very busy, and it is not my pleasure- to be mixed up in trouble like this for 45 cents. Many times I have threatened to fine boys, but

Nevertheless Mr. Havelock Wilson admits that the number of Chinese seamen in the East End is steadily decreasing, and he belisvos that since Mr. Winston Churchill took charge at the Board of Trade the figures have dropped from a thousand to barely a third that total.

THE BIRTHDAY HONOURS LIST. The inclusion of several men of Eastern service in the Birthday. Honours list has been cordially approved by the Pross here at home. Sir Matthew Nathan has earned his K.OMG. beyond a doubt, and the same is said of the K.C.M.G. for Mr. James H. Stewart Lockhart and Captain Arthur Henderson Young, the Straits Colonial Secretary, and the K. B. of Mr. Law of the Federated Malay States. The services of Sir Matthew Nathan pertimularly in the Durban Conference of the South African colonies are appreciated by the Government. Taking the list altogether it should please even those rampant purists in politics who have been so mucous in late years in their demands for titles only for public service and not for contributions to the party compalgu chest.
