ALLEGED WRONGFUL DISMISSAL
COURT RESERVES DECISION. “Probably had counsel known that this case would have extended into the tenth day a course not so expensive would have been taken in a matter which, after all, is only a ‘tuppeny-ha’penny’ thing,” said Mr. Justice Reed in the Supreme Court yesterday, His Honour was referring to the case in which Samuel Charles Baron, company manager, claimed £l2OO damages for alleged wrongful dismissal against J. C. Hutton (N.Z.), Ltd., bacon merchants. The defendant counter-claimed for £177-Ils. Evidence concluded at 11 a.m., after which counsel for the defendant addressed the Court, his address, which was continued after the luncheon adjournment, occupying four and a half hours. Shortly before 6 o'clock counsel for the plaintiff commenced his reply, the Court adjourning for dinner nt 0.15 and resuming at 7.45. “I hope,” said His Honour, “the next time anyone takes it into their head to discharge a servant it won’t be in a bacon factory.” When counsel finished his reply at 9.30 His Honour stated he would reserve his decision. Mr. 11. F. O’Leary and Mr. Wilson appeared for plaintiff and Mr. F. C. Spratt for defendant.
