Under the agreement ho was luble to dismissal provided that thereof the papers now believe that Mr. Balfour were reasonable grounds for dissatisfaction. proposes the rescission of Thursday's vote, The plaintiff contended that he had performed to wind up the session, and dissolve in the his duties to the satisfaction of the directors, aulumn. and the causes of complaint were so trivial that it could not be held the directors hadi reasonable ground on which to dismiss him. He also said that any such complaints as were made or any such dissatisfaction, if there was any, had never been communicated to him. It was perfectly clear trom the evidence of the directors and of the acting manager that there had been, for some time, dissatisfaction in the minds of the directors as to the way the plaintiff carried out his duties, And there was no doubt according to the octing manager's evidence that he communicated such complaints to the plaintiff, and there was the evidence of the directors that they composition to regard the defeat seriously. municated their complaints to the plaintiff. These complaints were, themselves trivial, bui when there was a series of them they became serious and, if true, they gave reasonable cause fordissatisfaction. Things went on until the 26th May when there was a dispute about soused fish, and apparently the directors determined to adopt a new method of cooking, The plaintiff abused the acting, manager and not only the manager but a man who had nothing to do with the removal of the pan from the kitchen. The plaintiff was not in any way justified in what he did, and the directors taking into considera- tion the complaints, coupled with the insulting language to the acting manager, were perfectly justified in dismissing the chef. There was this point that on the language alone the direc tors would have been justified in taking the action they did.

COOL THIRE

OFFERS BIG BRIDE.

A very smart, and lucky, arrest was effected on Saturday night. by P. S. O'Sullivan, by which a much-1ought thief was gathered in. On that night, at about half past eight, Sergeant O'Sullivan was walking along the road be- tween Rung Hom and Kowloon City, when he observed a Chinaman, approaching, whose observation, roused his suspicions, and caused movements, indicating a strong desire to avoid. him to stop the man and ask him to give`an account of himself. The Chinaman said he was an accountant in a tea-shop, and had been inis Kowloon City to collect some bills, $63 in all, and was returning home with the money. Not alto- gether satisfied the sergeant told the man to ac con pany him to the shop where he had collected the money, to prove the truth of bis story. The Sergeant then asked the; man, asually, if he affirmative, the man stating that he had alto- Ind any more money, and was answered in the gether $1,000 with him, The Sergeant was then more confirmed in his suspicions, and said the man must give a better account of him self, when the latter said it did not matter would give the sergeant $co to "let it about going 10 Kowloon City, and he be alright," The sergeant made it "alright" for him, but not quite in the way the culprit intended to convey, for he promptly One officer and ten bluejackets left for Kor-placed the man before Mr. G.
