Ix this case (before Mr. Justice Grove and a‏ 
«рен jury) the plaintiff, wao — formerly heen n‏ 
min, sou ught to recover damages for wrongful dis- 
missal, а der, assault, and malicious prosecution. 
The m was 
topping & large number of Gardenias ania: in his 
treatment of certain Indiarubber plants. It appeared 
that on January 13, 1886, the plaintiff gave a month's 
notice to the defendant, but before the month had 
expired he was dismissed summarily, the defendant 
alleging that he had maliciously damaged the plants 
and trees. This constituted the slander, to which 
the defendant pleaded justification.
