Justification for Dismissal

This is not enough to enable me to hold that their incompetence was sufficient to justify their dismissal, Of they were not quite whut he expected, he had accepted Miss Gray's choice and must bear his dizappoint-

Therefore, I find that the dee fendants, through their agent Israel, who employed Miss Gray is agent in San Francisco, entered into a definite agreement with Miss Gordon to perform at the Carlton Cafe for six months at a salary $25 gold, afterwards raised to $30 gold, and that the charge of drunkenness and incompetence have not, been established.

Consequently there was no power to dismiss her before the expiration of her agreement.

1 assess the damages at:

$360 gold for salary.

$183 gold passage to San Francisco, with addition of $20 gold for incidental expenses, and $200 gold for beard and ladying since dismissal.

From this must be deducted the $100 gold, which Miss Gordon ined after her dismissal Muking the total damages G87 gold.

There will be judgment for the plaintitt with costs und daraag $773.

At the conclusion of the judge Reader Harris wvuse and that the $100 referred (o as having been earned by Miss Gordon after her dismissal was Mexican, not gold currency, whereupon his Lordship ordered that this amount he changed accordingly.
