Everett vs. Corporation of Lnctin.—
The ratite in this case are chiefly ad -
mitted, and they are these:—The plain. -
tiff 'vas hired as village constable for
one year by the Village floencil, 'at a
salary of $865. He had previously
rioted for one year in these -me capacity,
at a Relate, of $400, At the new hir-
iug, it was expressly understood and
egreed that ho was not to be required
to light the village lemps, which he
W38 required to do under the former
engagement. After serving about six
months under the last hiring, during
which time the Council hired and paid
an ether peeson for lighting these lamps,
the Couucil required the plaintiff to
perform that duty, and for the non-
perform:wee of it he was dismissed at
a time when throe months of the year
were unexpired. There was a faint at
tempt to substantiate some other min -
conduct against the plaintiff, but the
evidence was too S1i71lt to be of cense -
quence; and so far as a reason for the
dismissal is concerned, if any meson is
requited, it consists simply in the re -
fusel twlight the lamps.
The defendants rely upon the 27th
section of the Munioipal Act, by which
it is enacted that officers appoint-
ed by the Council (=ball hold office un-
til removed by theOotincil, and
in addition to the dutiee assigned to
them in this Act, perform all other
duties required of them by any other
statute, or by the by-law of the 0oun-
It is contended that under this sec-
tion, the defendants oould (Itemise the
plaintiff at any time at their pleasure,
without assigning any couse; and, sec-
ondly, that even if o cantle were necee•
eary, there is a sufficient one in the
fact that the plain.iff refused to perform
the work of leghting the lemps, which
the Connell required him to do.
Now, as to the fite't 'grounds- of the
defendants' contention,- namely, that
they could discharge the plaintiff at
any time they plcaeed, notwithstand-
ing his engagement for a year, I think
this section "Ilet be held to apply to
those officers of the Corporation who
must of necessi y be constantly em-
ployed by the corporation, such as Clerk
and Treasurers ; Emelt officials as these
ere not usually onga'od fol2 any specific
period, but °anthills in office until the
Conned think proper to dispense with
their service. But it is different with
a village constable. The Council may
employ one or not, as they think pro-
per ; and therefore it is a reasonable
precaution on both sides to limit the
peroid of engagement. And when an
engagement has been entered into for
twelve months' sereice, I canuot sub -
Borah° to the proposition haat one of
the parties is at liberty at any titue to
break this engagement with impunitnd
Then, as to the second ground of .cou-
tention on behalf of the defeudants,
natnely, that "all officers appointed by
the Council shall, in addition to the
duties assigned to them in this Act,per.
form all other duties required to them
by any other statute or by the by-laws
of the Council, the defendadts say that
notwithstanding this compact entered
into, at the second hiring, that the
plaintiff was not to light the lamp,
still it was competent for the Counctl
subsequently to impose that duty upon
him ; and upon his refusal. to perform
it, to chemise him, Thus the defendants
affirm that even if they were not at
liberty to dismiss the plaintiff at their
pleasure, they could do so when he re-
fused to comply with their demand to
light these lamps. If this in the law,
then it in obviously a very uujust law.
13eca0s0 it wonlct restitt in this, that a
Council could engage an official for a
year, upon the understanding that he
was to perform certain duties for a
certain salary, and afterwards during
the currency of his term, could Waist
upon his performing certain other (Int.
ies entirely foreign to the original. un-
derstanding. What is meant by the
sectionI think is this :--That officials,
such as are referred to in that section,
shell be required to perform suet other
duties for a similar ohmmeter es the
original ones; but tot that the deities of
a lamp.lighter may be engrafted in
those .of 11 ceuetable. Again, the polo
Lion of the section I am considering
seems only to apply to tithes fuection.
(tries whose duties are assigned to them
iu the Municipal Aot. Now, I don't
find that the duties of a village °Pal-
atable are assigned in that stetute. The
422nd prescribes, in a general way,
what constables Rhea do. But this
section seems to apply to thepolice
force in cities and towns only.
I accordingly come to the folio
conclusions :—First, that the pla MeAe
having been engaged for a year,
that an engagement could not be br
without a sufficient cause. Secondly,
that the refusal to light the lamps was
not a sufficient couse, inasmuch as it
was a description of work entirely fore.
ion. to the duties pertalniug to the of -
flee of the conetable ' • and, moreover,
becalmagreed
it wan by both parties
when the plaintiff was engaged that he
should not bo required to do that
work.
It would seem from the evidence that,
there has been 'much lawless violence
in Lupien, and that he who fills the of.
flee of village constable has no each?
'task to perform. If that task could be
performed, es I think it could, without
the use of the coarse language which
by one or mere of the witnesses woos
imputed to the plaintiff, so much the
better. But ee the world goes, it may
not be found very Getty to geD 11 men of
a refined iniud who will engage to do the
kind of merit which Herne Do fall to the
lot of the Constable of Luertn.
I.think the plaintiff isentitled to re-
cover the amount of one gnarter's sal-
ary, being $91,25.
