EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES.

The figures in the first column of each table denote the number of pounds, yards, &.; and the money columns are headed with the respective prices of the article. So, if you want to know what 19 lbs. of beef come to at 5½d. per lb. look for the column headed 5½d. (Table III.) and opposite to 19 in the first column, under that head you will find 8s. 8½d., which is the amount. In this manner the price of any quantity of goods, at any price, may be instantly ascertained.

LAWS

RESPECTING MASTERS AND SERVANTS IN GENERAL.

The nature of the contract between Masters and Servants, is simple, and may be clearly defined by the existing laws; of which the following are the most material points; and ought to be well understood, both by masters and servants.

_Hiring Servants._

The contract between a master and his domestic servant is called the _Hiring_, and may be made either in writing, or by verbal agreement; but, in the latter case, there should be a witness.

_General Hiring._

If the hiring of a servant be _general_, without any particular time specified, the law construes it to be a hiring _for a year certain_. But, before the expiration of the year, three months’ notice, at least, _must_ be given by either party, or the service is continued for another year, and so on; as under a general hiring, the servant can never become a servant _at will_.

_Particular Hiring._

In London, and other great towns, the common mode of hiring is by _a month’s warning, or a month’s wages_; that is, the parties agree to separate on either of them giving to the other a month’s notice of his intention; or, in lieu of that, the party requiring the separation is to pay or give up a month’s wages: and this kind of hiring is sanctioned by law. But the contract may be made for any longer or shorter time; 5 Eliz. c. 4.

_A yearly Servant is intitled to his Wages for the time of actual Service._

If a servant be hired in a general way, he is considered as hired with reference to the general understanding on the subject, and shall be entitled to his wages for the time he has served, though he do not continue in the service during the whole year; and if he die before the end of the year, his representatives will be entitled to so much wages as was due to him at the time of his death.

_Of Discharging Servants._

A yearly servant cannot leave his place, nor be discharged, without a quarter’s warning, or wages, under the penalty of 40s.
