THE QUARTER-DECK WAY
Admiral Wanted to “ Cuss ” His Tailor. (Special to the - Star.”) LONDON, November 22. “ I was consumed with a desire tc\ get away from the place before I exploded and told them in good old navy language what I thought of them.” said Vice-Admiral F. Wade Caulfield, of Midhurst, Sussex, after stating at Westminster County Coyrt that he was dissatisfied with a suit and took it back to the tailors. A West End firm claimed £l4 from him for the suit. The Admiral said he particularly required that there should be no outside breast pocket to the jacket and that the front of the trousers should be buttoned in the ordinary way. In spite of this the outside breast pocket was made and the trousers buttons were turned in. Judge Dumas: I may have to decide whether you have been a little too exacting in what is vulgarly called “ the quarter-deck manner.” I know that in the service you expect orders to be obeyed, but in the ordinarv world we have not the discipline of the navy. Finally the Judge dismissed the claim with costs.
