Visiting cafes and other places thi going to show that There is abundant evidence in
plaintiff visited many—different cafes, some of which may not have been' of the highest order of respectability. Plaintiff testified that fed these various places usually late at night or early i the morning for the purpose! of obtaining food and drink, and that some of these cafes were the only places which were open at that particular time of night where he could obtain food. These visits were unusually made after office hours, and after the paper had gone to press, and it here that many of these ich plaintiff? visited, were also visited by people of respectability residing in the city of Shanghai. Tt appears that at one time Managing Director Sopher wrote to Webb) "about his life after office hours," but as to the particular nature of the complaint contained in such! letter, we are not advised, except that it did not refer to' Webb's drinking habits. Tt does not seem to me that Webb's practise visiting these cafes after the paper had gone to press, for the purpose of obtaining food," and even enterment, of a "cabaret" character, ufficient. justification for his discharge as editor and publisher of the "China Press." It was certainly not considered as being fraught With serious consequences to. the "China Press" at the time Managing Director Sopher registered his complaint, nor was this practise on the part of Webb assigned ax a reason at the time of his discharge on the 4th of March, 1924. therefore, find that the visiting of cafes. on the part of Webb, as shown by testimony in this ease, didn't result in any substantial harm or injury to. the China "and did not operate to discredit upon the defendant} this care.
Holding ws T do, that the fendant was not justified charging the plaintiff upon any all the grounds alleged in. the answer, it beearnes necessary ascertain and determine the amount of damage which plaintiff has amed by reason of the cone collation and recision of his contract by the defendant.
