A PROFESSOR'S ENGAGEMENT.
Per - Press Association.' AUCKLAND, December 3. At the Auckland Supreme Court yesterday Professor Henry Arnold Talbot Tubbs sued the Auckland University College Council for £700 for alleged wrongful action. t The facts of the case are that the plaintiff was appointed a professor at the University College by deed under seal for five years ending March, 1899. No fresh agreement was made, but Professor Tubbs remained at the original salary until 1907 >? when his services were dispensed with. The contentious point was whether the fact of the council continuing the services of the plaintiff at the old salary implied a contract subject to reasonable notice on either -side. Various authorities were quoted by counsel for each side. Mr Justice pennistoh. said he would give his decision on the legal point during the week.
