Discharge of Servant

A master may discharge any servant, other than an apprentice, whether engaged for a fixed term or not: 1. If he is guilty of misconduct in the course of his service, or of gross immorality, though unconnected with the same; or 2. If, being employed about the person of the master, or in a confidential position, the master discovers that he has been guilty of misconduct, before or after the commencement of his service, of such a nature, that, if the master had known or contemplated it, he would not have so employed him.
