It was not Williams who in- stigated him to enter the daim. — Mr Thornton Jones submitted that as a matter of law there was no technical bindinc of this apprentice, because there must be a principal before a surety could be bound. As a matter of jaw, it was not right, for the plaintiff to deduct the cost of the hone f rc yr, the wages of his apprentice, as was the <ase with domestio servants.
