Plea—Non infregit coaventionem The trial of this cause c3mmenced yesterday a tertiouti about two o'clock, was adjourned at seven, and rt newed this morning. It appeared chat the plaintiff was a tallow-chandler, at No. '2.5 Limbeth Marsh : his candle manufactory being i.l Stangate Mews, in the parish cf Lambeth. lire policy declared upon was for 1,0001. stock in trade and utensils on the premises in Stangate Mews. In the ei4ht of the 28. h Janu ary, 1825, a fire happened in the plaintiff's factory, and he tent in an estimate of his loss, to the defendants, amounting to 8401. The claim was resisted on the ground of fraud, goods to that amount not being, in fact, as was alleged, on the premises con sumed ; whereupon this action was brought. " very considerable body of evidence was adduced, on the part of the plaintiff making out a strong prima fade case in his favour. _ For the defendants a great number-of witnesses were called, to substantiate the ground on which the claim was resisted. The principi witnesses. whose testimony was relied upon, were, Thomas Robinson, a shopman, its the service of the plaintiff; William Shaw, a foreman in his factory; and Richard Wise, a tallow-chandler, employed by the defendants to investigate the plaintiff's claim. From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that the plaintiff had commenced business in the pi e mises.in question, in February, 1824, and had entered into an agreement to part with them early in Fcb.1825; Ithat although he made a claim upon the office for can dles to the amount of 3001. and for tallow to the amount of 1731. supposed to have been destroyed by the fire, the whole amount of his loss, in respect of these articles, could not have exceeded 1201. or 1301. It further ap peared, that he had endeavoured to tamper with his foreman, and propose 3 to him to go traUcks for all claims which he should establish against the Office above 5001. if he would swear to an estimate which be had given him to copy; and offered to give a score (which the witness understood to be 201.) to the tallow chandler employed by the Office to investigate the claim, on condition that he would send him in bills of parcels, to make up the apparent deficiency in the ac count of goods lost, as sent into the Office. There were other circumstances of suspicion attached to the transaction. Finding the evidence for the defendants two strong to be com bated with, Mr. Guam signified that be must yield to its effect, and therefore submitted to be nonsuited. SINCLAIR W. ICISIBLE AND OTHERS. This was an action of assumpsit, brought by the cele. brated vocalist against the proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, to recover from them a compensation in da mages for non-fulfilment of an engagement for fifty nights, at 201. a night. The ATTORNIY-G2NIBRAL stated the case to the Jury. He said that Mr. Sinclair, who was a Gentleman of considerable celebrity, both as a composer and per former, was under the necessity of bringing this action for the purpose of recovering a compensation in da mages for the breach of a contract made with him by Mr. Charles Kemble, on the part of himself and the other proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre. In 1823, when Mr. Sinclair was in-Italy, an application was made to him on the part of the proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, to enter into an engagement to perform on the boards of that house; and after some negotiation, Mr. Sinclair received a letter, d ited the 30th Jan. 1823, in which he was inft:rmed by Mr. C. Kemble that his terms were acquiesced in by the Committee of Management, and that be was to be engaged for fifty night., at 201. a night. Mr. Sinclair received this letter in the latter end of S:ptember, and he was to be in England by the corn mencement of the October following, in order to fulfil his engagement. He arrived before the beginning of 1 the winter season, but was not called upon to perform until the 19th of November. After that, however, he performed forty-five nights; and though the first en gagement was set out in this declaration he (Mr. S n clan) did not now go for the salary of the five nights out of the first fifty on which be was not called upon for his services. At the close of that engagement in 1824, Mr, Si..clair being in Dublin, the defendants were desirous of engaging his services for another season upon the same terms; and accordingly Mr. C. Kemble wrote to him to that effect, stating, that as a new opera was to be produced, it would be requisite for him to be on the soot at least ten days before the commencement of the seam, to atteni rehearsals, Stc. as there would be much new and difficult music to study. After this,in the Sept. following, Mr. Sinclair received a letter from Mr. Fawcett, the stage manager, stating Oat Der Freischuts was to be brought out on the 14th of October, and it would be absolutely necessary that Mr. Sinclair thould be in London at least a fortnight before that day, in order that he might study his part. To this Mr. Sinclair wrote back word, th.t it would not be convenient for him to be in London hetore the 15th; and receiving no reply to this communication, he concluded that if he was in London by the 15th of October, th 4t would be quite time enough. Accordingly he cam; to London on the day appointed, but was astonished to flood tha Der Freirchutz bad been brousht ou , ard the p t . Wilhelm, which he was to have taken, being the prin cipal character in the o p era , had been assigned to Mt. Pearman. Nothing/Ivry definite took place 'attn. this until the 3d of November, when Mr.-Sinclair received ' the usual call to attend a rehearsal; and accordingly he studied a part in a new opera; which was, only pPr formed two nights, and was unsuccessful. Af ter VI N he performed Praoe Orkido, in the Cabinet i but Alto gether he was o n ly ca ll e d upon to per f orm for nine nights during the season.—Here the Learned Counsel was interrupted by The Loan Onto Jortsca, who suggested that perhaps this c.: , it. might I *par/onus:ix private, with greater advantage to all panics than in open Court. Mr. hcaautrr expressed his belief that it might' al well be p e r_ formed publicly; and be hoped it would go 911 without much aii.w.crd. The Arronnea-Gemartat. resumed, and disclaimed all feelings of discord on the part of Mr. Sinclair. He believed the Gentlemen on both sides were on the very best terms with each other. Thus matters paned on until the month of June, when the English Opera-house being about to open for the summer season, Mr. A nsol4 was desirous of engaging ldr...llistelair on vary *de m . tageoos terms to' that- entleman,athe ofiered to secure his services for thr , e nights in a week, at S.lgaineasprr night. Mr. Sinclair, of-rourse, said that he could not make any engagements which might interfere with his undertakings at Covent-garden Theatre ;• but he riquest; ed a friend of his, Dr. Kitchener, to wait on Mr. Charles' Kimble, and to inform him of the nature of tbeOffek made by Mr. Arnold, begging to know wterlttir'hk would be allowed to accept *the offer? Mr. C. getealk said he was sorry he could not allow Mr. Sincliiir`to forego his engagement at Covent-garden Theatne, 'M two new oratorios were cominj Opt, in which Mr. Sin. clair's services could not be disp:. sod wi ; and ie quently Mr. Sinclair lo s t the bait; J.

Sinclair. . • Mr. SCARLETriIsen addressed the Jury in behalf of. the defendant. and set out by statin g t h at t h e G ent l e ; men who defe nded this action were not prompted by any disrespect towards the valuable services of the plaintiff, which they highly appreciated. He {the Learned Counsel) also cotilikhear testimony to the great talents cf Mr; Sinclair, and he only wished his public avocations allowed him oftener to hear that Gentlanand instead of troubling Juries to listed to himself. Bet e.e defendants had to compla;n that it was Mr. Sinclair who had broken the contract. • The Gentlemen of the Jury were well aware that the music ef great con poser, now recently d ecease d (Von Vrett l ) t tvas of that extraordinary and sublime cast which necessarily re , quired the greatest study and attention ; and it could not fail to have attracted the attention of the Jury, that Mr. Sinclair was distinctly informed his attendance would be required in London at least ten days before the 14th of October, when the opera of Der Freischatz, which had enjoyed an unprecedented run of more than fifty nights, was to be brought our. Mr. Sinclair, how ever, wrote, to sty that he could not come mil the 15. h of October, and of course as the piece was announced, and as Mr. Sinclair could not fulfil this part of his en gagement, it became necessary that another Gentleman shou'd study and fill the part which Mr. Sinclair was to have undertaken, and accordingly it had been as. signed to Mr. Pearman. On this ground the Learned Counsel submitted to the Jury that there was" a sold defence ; and he stated he should be enabled to thew (though he presumed Mr. Sinclair bad how forgotten the fact) that in a conversation with Mr. Chas. Kemble, he admitted that his contract had been forfeited by his not arriving in time. The following witnesses were then called: • Mr. John Fawcett stated, that he was stage manager of Covent Garden Theatre in the season of 1824.25. The performances commenced on the 22d September, 1824, and Dm Freischulz was announced for the-14'th of October following. The company began to rehearse it immediately after the season commenced, and thepart of Wilhelm, which was the "lead:ng character in the piece, was intended for Mr. Sinclair ; that part,. boa ever, was given to Mr. Peartnan, in consequence °Mr. Sinclair's writing that he could not make it convenient to come to London until the 15th of October. Cross-examined by the Airman: Ganxisax—Mr. Slsclair was, no doubt, perfectly en fait with the part, from hanieg saw acted it at the Lyceum. •' • • • - P Mr. H. Robertso n , t he t reasurer o f the Thiatre, stated that he was at the Th eatre w h en M r . Sinclair first we• sented himself there, after his arrival from Dublin. Mr. C. Kemble and Captain Forbes were there at that time, and Mr. C. Kemble told Mr. Sinclair that, in come. quence of his not arriving at the time he was expected, he could net consider his engagement as binding. He could not, theref ire, undertake to employ him for 50 nights, but if he was disposed to undertake characters as his services were wanted, he (Mr. C. Kemble) would employ him as often as he could, and to this proposi. tion Mr. Sinclair acceded. In the course of the season the witness conversed several times with the plaintiffon the subject of his engagement, and on one occasion he regretted his own folly at not coming in time, as he said he had only taken 1801. during the season, which was a much smaller sum than he had t Akers during .111 , season since hi first commenced the profession. Cron-examined—Engagements with principal performers are sometimes made by word of month, though principally in writing. The engagements of Mr. Sinclair's services as often as he was wanted were not reduced to writing. Mr. Alexander Olivia also proved that he had heard Mr. Sigel lir regret his folly, as he called it, in no t coming in time. On the occasion of his benefit, parti cularly, he remarked, that it would be productive of great injury, as he had thereby missed the opportunity of being frequently before the public. The Arroasev Gnmsea replied shortly upon the whole case; after which The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR summed up all the evi dence at length, and observed, that after Mr. Fawcett had received Mr. Sinclair's letter, saying that he could i I _ •
