Defendant's Unhappy Experience in England: Cost of the Plaintifi's Trip The case of Pomeroy v, Quelch, an action for is. 20,000 damages for wrongful dismissal, Tls. 5,000 bonus, and other sums, was con. tinued at H. M. Supreme Court last Friday before his Honour Judge Grain, this being the fifth day of the proceedings.
Mr. Tycho Wing appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. R.G MacDonald for defendant.
Concluding his address in opening the case for defendant, Mr. MacDonald referred to plaintiff's inquiries as to the date of Mr. Queich's return from his trip to Europe, and observed that he did not quite see why plaintiff should have been so anxious about that date. Plaintiff cabled him: 'Can cel booking" (to Shanghai). Why? He next cabled: Think you should remain in Vancouver a_ little while." Counsel could not help suggesting the reason for these cables was that plaintiff did not want his employer back so soon. Plaintiff's cable beginning with the words "Cheer hell" was an amazing message from an employee to his employer, and from an employee who had been disregarding the instructions which were given to him.
