Hoover v. Jackson
Hoover v. Jackson
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
In this action of assumpsit, when the plaintiff rested his case, the learned trial judge entered a compulsory nonsuit- and, subsequently, the court refused to take it off and the plaintiff excepted and appealed to this court.
We have given the assignments of error and the argument of appellant’s learned counsel careful consideration and have reached the conclusion that the evidence offered and received and that offered and rejected did not present a case for the jury. We think the opinion 6f Audenbied, Judge, in refusing to take off the compulsory nonsuit, sufficiently vindicates the action of the,trial' judge and of the court in finally refusing the plaintiff’s motion to .take off the nonsuit. And as that opinion appears in the report of the case, we do not deem it profitable or necessary to enter into a discussion of what seems to us satisfactory reasons in support of the judgment.
The assignments of error are all dismissed and the judgment is affirmed, at the cost of appellant. ,

- Master and servant — Manager of real estate office — Absence from duty— Wages. A person who is employed at monthly wages as manager of a branch real estate office, and who has after notice to his employers and without objection on their part absented himself from his place of employment for a period of six weeks on a pleasure trip across the ocean, has no right on resuming his work to claim wages for the period covered by his absence. In such a case it is immaterial that he may have been allowed on several previous occasions to absent himself from his place of business for several days at a time on shooting trips, or on short visits to the seashore, without any reduction in his pay.
