4 THE KINGTON TIMES . DECEMBER 8 . 1917 . LEOMINSTER COUNTY COURT . were very dangerous . About three - quarters of an hour after she got there Mrs. Lloyd James came in and asked very angrily why she had Before His Honour Judge A. A. Tobin , K.C. not arrived before . She ( plaintiff ) replied that it was her error and Mrs. James expressed no regret . She put the child to bed and she herself sat in a chair all night . She could not sleep . It was a rough night and there were pigeons making a noise . A TALE OF POTATOES . WORKMAN'S UNSUCCESSFUL CLAIM . Heury Bach , grocer , of High Street , Leo- minster , was sued by Ernest John Barrington , munition worker , Etnam Street , for £ 2 11s . , the value of a quanuity of potatoes alleged to have been wrongfully detained . Mr. H. Easton was for the plaintift and Mr. W. P. Levick for the defendant . Mr. Easton said that for something like 11 years plaintiff was in the service of the de- rendant as bottler and warehouseman . In addition a man named Howells drove a motor van used for delivering goods . Howells was called up for the army and another man named Warburton drove the van until he in turn was Barrington had a driver's license and had gone about with the van and learnt to drive a motor van . Mr. Bach was in a con- siderable difficulty and told Barrington that if called up . he would driye the motor van he should always do so . Barrington agreed and drove the van Then Howells was discharged for some time . from the army and it turned out that Mr. Bach had promised to reinstate him in his work . When Howells came back Mr. Bach was in a quandary and kept Howells working at his private house for a month , then he told bottling . " You will have to go back to Barrington naturally objected stepping down again and said he had helped Mr. Bach out and that he promised to keep him on . He told him he would leave if he put him back . This was a Saturday about the middle of August . Mr. Bach told him to think it over until Monday but Barrington then said he must adhere to his resolution .. Mr. Bach told him he must put his notice in writing . Plaintiff went home and put his notice in writing and Mr. Bach then gave him a week's wages and dismissed him on the spot . Mr. Bach had a perfect right to do this and Mr. Barrington had a perfect right to go . In 1916 Mr. Bach allowed Barrington to grow potatoes in a small garden at the back o , the shop in High Street and this year Mr. Bach gave him the privilege again . In 1917 , there was a great deal of talk about potatoes and the defendant gave plaintiff the privilege of grow- ing potatoes in this garden and in addition Mr. Bach was kind enough to give him some rows in a field . In pursuance of that agree- ment plaintiff planted potatoes in the garden and in the field , finding the seed and the labour . Before August 14th half - a - cwt . had been taken up in the garden at the shop and were in a box . When he was dismissed plaintiff asked defendant , about the potatoes and he declined to let him have any , either in the garden or in the field . Plaintiff gave evidence in support of his His Honour : Air - raids in London and pigeons in the country ( laughter ) . Plaintiff said that when she got up the next morning she felt she could not stay there . When she came down she asked the girl if she could see Mrs. James and she said she had better wait until Mrs. James came into the kitchen . At 8.45 she went to the drawing room and asked if she could speak to Mrs. Defendant said " What is it , " and James . She com- led the way to the morning room . menced " Please Mrs. James , " when defend- ant pounced on her and said " Don't call me Mrs. James . I am not called by my name by servants . I am only called by my name You are not our class . You among friends . the best families in the county . " are only a servant . We came from some of Plaintiff said " You don't know what class I from . " Mrs. James said " I could tell the moment I looked at you . What is it you She said " Will you please return my fare because I have borrowed it from a friend and would like to send it back by the postman . " Mrs. James said " Do you intend staying at your post , " and she replied that she could not stay in that bedroom and that the bed was not large enough for two . James said the hed could have been altered , and said she did not seem to have done much that morning and as she did not appear to care for the place she had better go , adding " You can pay your fare both ways , I don't pay people to visit the countryside . " Address- ing the servant Mrs. James said " Myra , this person leaves at eleven - thirty . " want ? " come Mrs. She ( plaintiff ) was very upset at being dragged across the country from Surrey and then to be treated like that . She took her luggage and her little girl and started to walk the two and a - half miles to the station . A woman told a little girl to carry it for her when she had gone part of the way . In Mr. Bosanquet in arguing the points of law for the tenant , said that it appeared to him that the arbitrator had not found all the facts necessary to decide the first question . order to decide the point under question B it was necessary to know upon what terms the wife took the assignment and unfortunately the arbitrator had not found whether the wife ever had notice of that agreement . He sub- mitted that on the second question he was entitled to recover and that as regards the first there should be other facts found . Mr. Millward said it was not sufficient to say that there might be some consideration for the promise . It should be found as a fact that it was in consideration of refraining from giving notice that the promise was made . It was clear that that consideration was never present in the mind of the occupier Mr. Thomas . His Honour said that the one salient point was not dealt with by the arbitrator . He did not think it would be fair to decide the issue on the special case . Mr. Millward said he was informed that the point with regard to the consideration of the promise was put to the man in the box . His Honour said that the arbitrator had not found upon that point . It was the one point about which nothing had been said . Mr. Millward : Because there was nothing to say . tala After further argument his Honour said he proposed to remit the case to the arbitrator so that he might find as a fact whether there was any consideration for the promise made by the She date . She Mr. Neild in reply said they might feel thing else to do than sweeping up the mess that as temperance workers they had some- caused by alcohol , but it was work that was waiting to be done .

Under common law if Barrington had a cottage and garden and gave notice to determine the tenancy he would have no right to any produce , unless a statute to the contrary was provided . a His Honour said Barrington was not tenant . Mr. Levick said he should rely upon common law . Mr. Easton said Mr. Bach persuaded the man to be patriotic and plant potatoes and there was an implied promise that he should have the crop . His Honour said he thought common law was against Mr. Easton . Mr. Easton replied that Mr. Bach broke his promise to keep Barrington on the van . Mr. Bach , in evidence , said he had promised to re - instate all the men who were with him when war broke out , Barrington undoubtedly knew that . His Honour ( to plaintiff ) : Did you know defendant was going to take this man back ? Plaintiff said he did not know but he thought he would . In giving judgment his Honour said that Barrington objected to being supplanted by a man who had been fighting for his country . In pique Barrington gave notice . It was pique because the wages were just the same . He was allowed to plant these potatoes in the field . The question was whether the potatoes belonged to him or not . His only right was based on some implied contract and it was subject to the plaintiff remaining in the cm ploy of the defendant . He chose to give . notice and thereby abandoned these potatoes . Judgment for the defendant with costs .. ACTION OVER FRUIT CONTRACT . SOLICITOR'S MISUNDERSTANDING . fruit Messrs . White Bros. , merchants , Evesham , were sued by Samuel Pound , Orleton , for £ 32 15s . for breach of contract in connection with the sale of plums . Mr. W. P. Levick was for the plaintiff and Mr. W. S. Mobberley , Stourbridge , for the de- fendants . Mr. Levick said that on September 6th , 1917 , defendant wrote to White Bros. , asking if they were buying horse plums and their prices . Defendants wrote to say they were not buying at more than £ 8 . Plaintiff sent a telegram on the 8th booking five tons of prune damsons . Defendants wrote in reply sending contract note and plaintiff signed it and returned it . At this point some difficulty was experi- enced , Mr. Levick not having been furnished by the other side with copies of the plaintiff's letters . His Honour accordingly ordered the case to stand over to enable the solicitors to put the correspondence in order . section for a At The great Duke of Germans peace to - day would mean a great plause ) .
