The characters were as follow; g i p„,Mr. Marmot. Pasant. Mr. P Stephan° Mr. Minuets. . Mr. Dosrrox. Balthazar Nis*lino Mr. Maur. Crier Hyenas. Countess Modena. Mrs. W. Weer. L Miss CAILIW. eah Mardis Miss Kas.r.v. The story is as follows :—The Countess Modena is beloved by Rosano and Durazzo; the Piece opens with a meeting between the rivals, who are about to proceed to a deadly rencontre, to decide whose prize the Lady is to be. At this instant the Countess her self appears, and prevents the contest; the rivals de clare their determination to persist in their purpose, unless the Lady declares in favour of one ; she de cides accordingly, and her choice falls on Rosano. The disappointed and rejected Durazzo, obliged to submit to this decision in favour of his fortunate rival, retires, apparently reconciled to his fate, but secitetly resolved to carry off the Lady. He accord ingly instructs two of his followers secretly to seize her, and convey her on beard his vessel, then riding in the bay : she is, however, to be concealed in a cave near the shore, till the shades of evening should afford a better opportunity of conveying her on board. They succeed in seizing their prize and conveying her to the cave; but in her struggling, a diamond necklace falls from her neck, and is afterwards picked up by Nicolino, the fisherman, who, ignorant of its value, sells it to Balthazar, the Jew, tor twenty flo rins. Soon after, proclamation is made, stating that the Countess had been secretly conveyed away, and, as suspected, murdered—ddicribing her dress, and particularly her necklace, offering and a reward of one thousand ducats to 'Ely one who should discover her murderers, or give any information likely to lead to their discovery. Balthazar, hearing the proclama tion, and anxious to obtain the reward, immediately gives information of having purchased the necklace from Nicolino, who is in consequence apprehended, but is liberated on his assertion of innocence, the Judge (Stephano) allowing him till sun-set to dis cover the Countess or her murderers. Nicolino is so fortunate as to discover the Countess in thz. cave, and to release her from het confinement there, and is conveying her to his hut, when he is overtair k en by Durazzo; the Countess is again stized, and Puraczo is about to convey her on board his ship, when a storm comes on, and the vessel is destroyed. He then Conveys the Countess to an old castle in the neighbourhood, where he is on the point of forcing her to consent to his wishes, when she is again dis covered by Nicolino, who gives information to Ito s inn. Rosano, with a party of soldiers, guided by attacks the castle, forces an entrance, and rescues the Countesc. The Piece ends happily, by the union of the lovers, and the reconciliation of the rivals, through the intercession of the Countess.-- There is an under-plot, arising out of the loves of Nicolino and Leah, the daughter of Balthazar, the rich Jew—and the pursuit of Martha, the fisherman's sister, by the old Jew and the Judge, each of whom is induced to assume the garb of the other, and to visit the Lady at the same time, when she makes a public exposure of them to their friends. Out of these materials The I , 7:het-man': Nut is composed. A Pr eface, attached to the Book of Songs sold' in the 'I hcatte, informed us that this Piece was from the pen of the late Mr. Torts, left by him in an unfinished state, but now adapted for the Stage. This Drama was received throughout with great ap plause; and the few malcontents were overwhelmed by the decidedly-expressed approbation of a vast niAjority of the audience, who hailed its announce ment for a second representation with acclamation. It certainly is not equal to the best works of this inthor ; but had he lived to revise and complete it, perhaps it would have appeared in a form that would have given its attractions permanency. Several of the scenes are beautiful, and elicited the loudest plau dits. The Performers also exerted themselves to the utmost to insure, as far as possible, the success of the Piece. A Prologue, of no extraordinary point, was spoken by Mr. PoPE; and an Epilogue, by Mrs. En • *IN, Mrs. ORDER, and Mr. ELL! TOY. The poezry of the songs is pretty. The following may he given as favourable specimens of it: SON O—Miss CASEIN. Sweet are the stolen hours of Love! When none oar transports car. reprove, And lips with trembling rapture greet, Oh! then Loves stolen hour is sweet ! Yet, midst the dear delight we sigh, For, oh! how the moments fly; FAch other lingering turns to view, And era we part oft bid adieu! Fcr sweet, &c. SONG—Mr. Kaas.cr. Mat fish that Inhabit the set With my net I can take, now and then; Yet how much more skilful is he Who can thrive as a fisher of men? For though some are simple ss dace, And greedy as gudgeons a few, Yet I fancy that is not the case With a Lawyer, a Maid, or a Jew ! Your Lawyer, some say, Is a shark, Yet he preys both by land and by water; Aid perhaps 'twould be never the mark, If you dubb'd him a black alligator! To catch him, there is but one rule, A rogue can best hamper his brother; And they tell me, like pikes in a pool, Your Lawyers will bite out another! In cunning a Jew has no match, He'll slip through your hands like an eel ; And Maids are still harder to catch, When of youth the first blushes they feel ; But with patience an angler must wait, Till older and older they grow, When, like trouts, they'll all rise at the bait, Tho' a feather', the very first throw ! COVENT GARDEN.—The Play of Lovefor Love was again performed last night, with increased effect.— The Gnome King, with its magnificent scenery, aided by the exquisite singing of Miss M. TREE, and the irresistible humour of Messrs. FAIIREN and FAILEY, lassed off with great applause. Miss M. TREE was oudly and justly encored in one of her songs. The whojs went off with much eclat. LAW ZNITAZICENCE , m e i O t Tlß mo T rni o o ; t rg o a rt B rir cr'orerigatßang°ear.lyl teresting case. It was an act hour, in the expectation of hear ion in h g ro ur h e y l L and Ite n a t o n e , C f o o l r o n the e l injuryH om e Re port of a Court of Inquiry, of which his Lordship , do ag ne ai t n o st hi L° s ch rd ara r c red ter b erl y c th k was President, which Report chargedsheLieutenant- Colonel with not having acted, in st particular trans action, with that delicacy and honour which became an Officer and Gentleman of his rank and station. At half-past nine o'clock the CIIIEF JUSTICE en tered the Court, and at the same moment their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK and GLotrearrea, entered, and took their seats on the Bench, near his Lordship. Sir HENRY TORRENS, and several Military cha racters of rank, were also present. Mr. SCARLETT stated the case to the Jury, in an elaborate speech. He stated that he represented an individual who had, by the Report of a Court of In quiry,of which the defendant (Lord F. Bentinck) was President, lost that fortune and condition in society which he felt himself entitled to hold, from his cha racter and long military services, under the greatest Commander of the age, throughout the Peninsular campaigns, and, finally, at the memorable battle of Waterloo. The Learned Counsel proceeded to state, that Lieutenant-Colonel Home was the son of an eminent Professor in the College of Edinburgb—he had been fifteen years in the service of his country, and had the honour, at the last eventful battle in which he we! , engaged, of being entrusted with the defence of the celebrated post of lingumont. It had been the misfortune of this Gentleman to have entered into a. speculation, in the year 1814., with a Mining Company, at Worcester,. Their capital was 1:18,000, and he took a ninth share, for which be paid A:2000, a sum that was-represented to him as necessary to complete the undertaking. • further sum of £llOO was subsequently demanded for con tingencies; but the plaintiff, upon his return to this country, after the battle of Waterloo v laeard, for the first time, that the affairs of the mining concern were not going on as he was led to expect, and he, naturally telt a desire to extricate himself from the partnership. He first.offered to transfer his share to his brother, be then made a variety of efforts to dis engage himself from the concern in which he found he was involved, by every open means thit could be resorted to in a partnership concern, but they were all in vain. He was Advised ?o accept, in the 'time of the Company, bills drawn by his brother, who had lent him the money to invest in the concern. Ile did so to the amount of £18.50, and the draft being re f used payment by the Managers of the business, an action was brought thereon, Which was tried before Lord Ellenborough, in June, 1817. In the defence of that action, on the part of the Managing Partners, a deed of partnership was produced, which had been entered into before he joined them, and had not been shewn to him ; and one of the covenants of that deed being, that bills on account of the Company should be drawn, and endorsed by one of the Partners, named Salisbury, and by him only, Lord Ellenbo rough held Colonel Home to be bound by that co. venant, and a verdict was, therefore, given for the defendants. It being represented, however, to Galo rel Home, that his Lordship's opinion was grounded on a supposition of his knowing and having acceded to that covenant, and being advised to draw fresh bills, the former having been destroyed, he did so ; but never put them into circulation. The Managing Partners filed a Bill against him, and obtained an Injunction to restrain him from issuing any more bills. The Injunction was carried down to Windsor, where Colonel Home, being ill, desired a Quarter- Master in his Regiment to receive it, and transmit it to his Solicitor. The Partners caused placards to be posted in t/ie P'aces frequented by the Officers of the Regiment, charging Colonel Home with having been guilty of fraud, which, coming to the oars of his Royal Highness the Duke of iilouces ter, Colonel of the Regiment, a Court of Inquiry was instituted, of Which Lord F. Bentinck was Pre sident, and for his Report ofthe proceedings, which, the Learned Counsel contended, ire was not warranted in framing as he had done, this action was brought. The Learned Coupsel then stated, that when the 'plaintiff was incormed by his servant that some per son wished to see him respecting a process of law, he was lying ill upon his couch, and gave directions that the messenger should communicate with a third person, who was appointed for the purpose. This act was considered by the Court of Inquiry as an evasion of legal process, and decided upon accord ingly. The Court of Inquiry had come to a deci sion unwarranted, as he was instructed, by the facts of the case. They had reported in terms which un justly reflected upon the plaintiff's character, and it was to assert that character and to recover damages (so far as damages could be a compensation) that this action was brought by the plaintiff against the Presi dent of the Court of Inquiry, for the injury which that Report occasioned. A serious legal question arose, from the mere mention of the name of a Court of Inquiry, which was a term unknown in law—Courts : Martial were intelligible terms—they formed parts of that particular code which was known by the name of the' Belligerent Rights of the Sovereign." These rights were known and defined in a time of war, when they had their utmost extent ; but, in a time of peace, the Mutiny Act, which was annually passed, was the only law that regulated military pro ceedings, and that Act made no allusion to Courts of Inquiry. It was true, that any set of Gentlemen, whether military or civil, might voluntarily meet to make any inquiry they thought proper—but then they must take care, at their peril, how they impugn the characters of others without the strongest and the justest cause. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Must you. not prove malice At a case of this kind, when you impugn the Report to which you allude? Mr. SCARLETT replied, that malice must be in ferred from the terms in which that Report was couched ; but he was williag that the Jury should judge from the whole facts of the case. All his client wanted, was a justification upon the merits, and he would therefore proceed and lay them before the Court. Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Totrens was then callsd, and examined as follows : • Q. Do pit know the plaintiff in this cans.; I mean, ,~, ~~ . '~ ~ } i~ 'do you km* his rank ?—A. T do ) he is a tieute nant-Colonel in the Army, and a Captain in the Sd Re anent of Guards.' Q. Have you the original papers or proceedings of a Court of Inquiry held upon him ?—A. I have. Q. Produce them, and state how you became pos sessed of them.—A. Here they are ; they were, I believe, personally presented by the President to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, from whom I had them officially as Military Secretary. The ATTORNET4EXERAL objected to their pro duction, on the ground that they were official docu ments, which were confidentially entrusted to Sir Henry Torrens, in his situation as Military Secre tary. Ile said, that it was decided in the case of Go vernor Maxwell, in which his Learned Friend (Mr. Scarlett) was engaged, that the instructions or docu ments entrusted to an Officer in the discharge of his official duty, ought not to be produced. It was a case in which a party was prosecuted for an infringe ment of the regulations respecting. the Slave Trade. Mr. SCARLETT, in reply, insisted that the case bo-..e no analogy to this. Here original documents, par taking of a judicial character, were called for—in : the case alluded to, private instructions were de mandedi _ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL t iII reply, contended that on grounds of public policy, documents of this de script ion ought to be held confidential and secret. The CHIEF JUSTICE admitted the validity of the objection. 3e said that it was as competent for the Crown as for an individuel to delegate a particular inquiry to confidential persons, and he never knew an instance in which a Court of Justice admitted the documehts of such persons to be received as evi dence, when any objection was legally made to their production. He took it for granted that Sir Henry Torrens had produced the private papers of his office, and that the legal atgument arose on their being read. His decision was that they ought not, and for the purpose of reserving that point for the better tie ciiion of the twelve Judges, he would reserve it in ally manner which the Learned Counsel for the plain tiff wished. A verdict for the defendant was then agreed to; and it was arranged that the legal objection which stopped the case should be reserved for the opinion of the Judges in the form of a Bill of Exception. Mr. BECKETT, the Judge-Advocate, sat next the SOLICITOR-GO:VEAL while this cause was before the Court. TRESPASS.-FINCH V. THOMAS. Mr. Gum.= stated that this was an action of tres pass brought against the defendant for violently en tering the plaintiff's house, and turning out his ser vants, and keeping possession several hours during the night. To prove his case, the Learned Counsel called J. Churchill, who was apprentice to the plaintiff. His master was a wine-merehant, and had a country house at Stratford. His house of business was No. 14, Cooper's-row, Tower-ha The defendant lived next door. On the sth of May last witness went to bed about ten o'clock he was asleep when the maid servant came, and desired he would get up, as Mr. Thomas was at the door, and wanted to come in. At' this time there was a violent ringing and knocking at the door. Witness got up and dressed himself, except his stockings and neckcloth, and went down to the door. On opening it Thomas came in. He walked up and down the hall, took-a chair, placed it against the door, and declared.he would not quit the house, till he had seen Mr. Finch, who was a base villain. He insisted that Mr. Finch was in the house, though assured by the witness that he was not. Witness desired he would go over the house, and convince himself that Mr. Finch was not there. The defendant said, he did not believe it, but he would not stir. He desired the witness to go to his house. and get his night-cap. Witness accordingly went and got it, and returned to the defendant, who had in the meantime put the chain across ;he door, and refused to let the witness in, again desiring him to go to 11o:ton to Mr. Parr, a friend of his master, and bring him. Witness re monstrated against going to disturb any Gentleman's family at that time of night. The defendant, how ever, kept the witness out in the street for two hours, when he let him into the house again. The defendant stayed all night. At five in the morning witness started for Horton, to Mr. Parr, and returned with that Gentleman about seven. Mr. Thomas had some talk with Mr. Parr, and went away about nine o'clock, threatening them with a similar visit the next night. Crou-examined.—The defendant is clerk to Mr. Chatfield, who had since struck a docket against Mr. Finch. Mr. Parr was a Gentleman who managed Mr. Finch's business during his absence. Mr. Finch slept in Cooper's-row the night before this transac tion, but went out in the morning before witness was up, and witness did not see him all day. Defendant said, he came about a bill which Mn Chatfield had discounted for Mr. Finch, and which had been due some days. Witness believed it was through Mr. Thomas.'s friendship that Mr. Chatfield discounted the bill in question. He said he was anxious to see Mr. Finch, who, he believed, was purposely keeping out of his way. Witness did not see his master from the 6th of April to the Seth. Saw him that day, and the Ist of May. The defendant had come - several times before to inquire for the plaintiff, and said he had been two or three times on the sth of May, to inquire for him at. Stratford, without success. Louisa Evans lived servant at Mr. Finch's i had just retired to rest on the sth of May, when she was disturbed by a violent ringing and knocking at the dodr. She got up, and looked out at the window, when she saw Mr. Thomas, wlio desired to see her master. Witness told him her master was not at home. Defendant went away, and witness again went to bed. Some time after, she was again awoke by a violent ringing and knocking. She again went to the window, and saw Mr. Thomas, who said he knew Mr. Finch was at home, and incised on coming in. The witness again declared he was not at home. Thomas then said, where is that lying scoundrel, I mean John Churchill? Witness said he was in bed ; Defendant insisted on having him called, as k if he was not, he would continue to ring and knock all' niight i and till nine o'clock in the morning. The witnesrealled Churchill, who went down, and let the defendant in. Witness then corroborated the testi. mony of Churchill, as to the conduct pursued by the defendant after he got admission into the house. Mr. ScAtax.sTr, on the part of the defendant, act:" dressed the Jury. -He was ready to admit,that a ',verdict must go against bis cheat, but he was con *tared the Juty would think with tins, the Wadi was one of the most palt7 deseriperrn, was irritated, as it wa s natural he sl , o u id - conduct of his debtor, and went, i -Th lortle , ti'y been i 41 , mild a sight of him i n a manner 11(1 to b u I ' t t by law ; but who, he wou ld ask, had b nurtf his conduct ?
