FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
One of the most curious legal, cases in connection with tho printens' strikr in London was heard by Judge Pari 1 ,- at tho Lambeth Comity Court (Engla(id), vvhon Sir Joseph Causton and Sons', Ltd., were sued by Thomas Biirbridgo, a compositor-apprentice, of Brixton, for five weeks' wage's at the,'rate of 10s. per week. He was summarily dismissed on the ground that he had contravened certain articles of his indentures by giving information to pickets during tho strike in regard to nonunion men employed by the firm, which was calculated to injure the firm's business. JJ is Honor held that the plaintiff was perfectly entitled to speak to pickets if he liked, nnd that there was no evidence that the boy disobeyed' any reasonable orders that Causton, Ltd., desired to have upheld. There would be judgment for £2 LOs. and costs.
