From a Press Association telegram, dated Albany, July 1, Captain Joergensen. in his patent lifeboat "The Storm King." is off Breaksea Island, at the mouth of King George's Sound. The New Zealand Times given these further particulars : — " The Storm King " is a tubular lifeboat built of mild steel. Her length is 30ft, with fc beam of B£ft. She left London on September 12 for Melbourne. Her crew consists of Captain Joergenssn, constructor and owner, and a comrade named Nelson. After crossing the Equator the small craft encountered very heavy weather, and did not arrive at Cape Town, South Africa, until March "2, She stayed in that port to relit, and left on April 16 for Melbourne. The case of Jack v. Stewart, which has been before the Supreme Court for some considerable time, was to-day settled, and His Honor the Chief Justice gave judgment. The conclusion he came to was that tho parties never came to a concluded agreement as to what the defendant's remuneration should be. The conduct of the parties during the defendant's employment confirmed this view. There were no terms stated in any letter, and no deduction to be taken for the accounts of any special sum for salary or otherwise. On the other hand His Honor was not able to accept thp defendant's evidence that there was n concluded agreement, and that it was such as he said, nor was he able to accept the plaintiff's evidence that the agreement was concluded and that the salary was to he £100 a year and such bonuses Rfi they eliose to allow. The result in his opinion wjib that the defendant was entitled to be paid a reasonable amount as remuneration for his services, bat as manager only, and that his employment should be deemed to commence from the earliest term when his services were. used. On the evidence he thought a fair rate was £200 a year, and that he he not allowed the expenses of his horse. His Honor was satisfied that the defendant did about the 2iilh or 2(itb September so conduct himself towards one of his employers as to justify his dismissal. He had noi doubt that his conduct on that occasion was altogether incompatible with his continuance in the employment, and that he himself intended it to be such. The service continued for about ten months, and His Honor gave judgment to the effect that the defendant was entitled to £170, less £69 8s lid— viz., £100 11s Id and costs in the counter claim on the lowest scale. Two days trial were certified for, each party to pay the cost of one day.— Pre<<. \ A very special invitation is herewith extended to the ladies of the city to pay an early visit of inspection to our magnificent and attractive display of ball and evening dreßS fabrics, which, together with all necessary requisites, are now being shown on the central counter at Te Aro House.
