The tpentymue names were put in • box. with • wheel, and the first sena names that were thrown oat were dismissed from th e C omm i t t„, e without any consideration being paid to whether Il l ey were proper or useful persons; so it occurred that the most valuable members of the Committee were got rid of.

He (the ',rimed Counsel) had not been told %that were Ulf fOll4/011fIst parts of the theatre that could be sold to pay off the debts of 80,000/.

His Lordship would bear um his mind, that this theatre had the 'auction of a patent. and then what sumer was to br given to the public if A was to be closed. and they de prived of the representation of the legitimate drama? He would ask, what answer would be given to en. tenoning meta applying far a patent to build on. other theatre, if the potent of this theatre was allow. rd to toy dormant ? said that there were such men there could be 'aro doubt of, sod those would take advantage of the theatre being closed. His Lordship would bear in his recollection, that the debts of the theatre had occurred before the De fendants belonged to the Sub-Committee. This case was not like that of • canal, which was in a pro. greosive state and the funds misapplied, for here the theatre wits finished. The Plaintiff* state, that before the 10th of June in the preeent year the theatre became embarrassed ; and at a General Assembly of the Proprietors, a Select Cotitottlter were appointed to inquire into the difficulties. How the General Assembly could sesame the authority to appoint such st-Committee he was et a loss to know, stud on the 28th July this self-created Com mittee geode their Report. he would state it at tenth. for not one word of it ought to be loot. as it would shew the presumption of men acting from a motive not yet defitted, and that no law or legislative act could keep in hounds.—(For teis Repose. sea Ma Paper of the t94A sj Joly.)—The estrosing.of the Report Illets was. that the house was to be elated moil the 17,000/. was raised, to pay certain cre ditors 10.. us the ouitioul, which did slot include all the creditor.; fur loa. in the pound would only pay . 34,000/. when the debts were 80,0001.; sod to catty this into effect, they had applied to she Court of Chancery. The system of 'management was to he changed—the Sub.Cominittee was to be die. missed. If they wanted this, they could only ob. 101, 1 it by applying to the Legislature, and not to the Court of Chancery. Town that • proper person was to he appointed as the sole manager, except as to the ortui.ey affair, which were to be meisaged by a Committee 11p11111111rd by the General Assembly.

This wee to all intents and !Airtime* leg'slittlig for themselves. The PlainUlF. Mr. Locker and Mr. Ellis, uuderstood those things, . ; . mid illeY would find PisAllllleeeo who would answer their purpose. This Selma Committ ee a l so h a d engaged George Culossn, Esq. to be the sole manager. They perhaps thought this was the best way of disposing of the theatre; if it was their own they might appoiut Whom they pleased, hat what could the Sub-Committee say to a subscriber or his widow, if they were to accede to such an estrandinary proceeding as that of appointing an individual to have the whole &saunal of the theatre ? The person named to have the management might be the best qualified in the world, bet what right had this selfecrested Committee to give hint the appointment, when the Legislature said the ma nagement should be vested its the Suls-Committee? II was alleged that there were great opportunities given to person belougisig to the theatre, to get articles from tradespeople. This was denied by the ph:reel Sub-Committee. and it was hard to visit the conduct of former .Committees on the present. It had also been alleged that a great number of orders of admittimice to the theatre had been issued by the Defendants. This was denied by the Sub-Committer, for they say they netted than wee ever issued in a season before ; and what they did give, they were advised were for the benefit of the theatre. The answer of the De tandems admitted that the theatre was embarrseted, and that it was so in 1814, occasioned by silent. hone of the theittw, which amounted to 17,0001. which at the time was well kriowit to the sub.. scribers.

I am Counsel. my Lord, for the Plaintiffs. who obtained the injunction. and I will tyke up as little of your Leirdship's tune as possible. not near as much as my Learned Friend. for he had a most difficult task to perform. I hate nothing to complain of as to the regulati tttt of your Lordship, that only one Counsel of a side *hunkd he heard, or of the length of arguineut of my Leotard Friend. but I have to complain of the spirit of it, a spirit of ill•boasoor which generally does not belong to him. He t o ld y our Lo rd ship that we were actuated only by motives to cover a job, without venturing to mentims what that job was. The fir.t objection he took was the want of parties; it is nut neceesery for mato say a word iu answer, fur it is kn now that those parties could be added by to-morrow, and that this motion might be coosidered as only part argued. lem surprised that. say Learned Furred could be so angry, fur it is contrary to hie general good hutnoar. I will put the case in a. narrow a compass as possible. It is the bill of eight promietort, filed not may or themselves, lust for the majority of their fellows, against the five Defendauts, the Sub-Co ttee of the theatre. My Learned Friend asked why those eight should be selected as Plaiistilfe. It is true they were the Select Committee. not authorised cer testily only as they were approved by the General Assembly. Why my Learned Friend eelected the mimes of Mr. Ellis owl Mr. Cocker fur his walked sermon, limited of Calrraft and Lambe, I do not know, escept t h at they are 'solicitors. which reminds me of a story of a Welsh Judge. who looking over the hit of trials, said, a I asp sure this case won't list long, for it Is a rich attorney against a poor widow.' Mr. Cocker is not a plaintiff, and Mr. Ellis is the solicitor in the cause. The statement is a short one—the Plaiiiiills waist to redeem the thee- Ire, and my Lrerned Friend calls the proposition monstrous. I beg. before I proceed further, that any thing I shall soy must not be taken as casting the least imputation on the Defendants, who I have the greatest respect for, but they cauuot complain if they pot themselves in a situation that they were never inteudcd to shine in. Oise of them is it great politician ; another is a Solicitor of great eminetice. who I ant always happy to call my Learned Friend. They might be able to sway a sceptre, or rule kingdom.; but I doubt if they are capable of managing a theatre.—'llten what does this amount to? We want to get rid of the Secretary of State—the Lord of the empty Treasury—and the Lord Chancellor, who presides over the claims of creditors. We acknowledge our opposition so far. I can tell my Learued Friend that all oppositions are not actuated by the motives generally ascribed to them. We du not charge the IDefendants with any i corrupt motives, but I will say that 1 have disclosed to your Lordship the whole secret of the job." The Loan CHANCRLI.OII-.."

For ever since the year 1812 the theatre has been going on with great loss, except one sea son, end the debts now amount to 80,0001, and they were increased very much in the last season. It is true they were 60,000/. before the achitimstne t of the Defendants; but have they not ill creased it since, and hack - not been's losing con cern ?

What we propose is, to make an arratigenient with the creditors before the devote is open, and we swear that we hare, under the authority of the General Assembly, e,, terra into a compromise with creditors to the miscount of 34,0001. and that they have agreed to take 10s. in eke pound, which would relieve the theatre of the encumbrances which were pressing, but that the certifiers refuse to treat node, mice existing cirCunistmoices. It sevens lreful to my Learned PrWriel, that the majority of the General Assembly ;should sty it was not adrigible that the theatre should open atoll thj. arrangenereet was made. It is certainly true that utiliser say Learned Friend nor myself are in the habit of paying much ettreetion to majorities. Your Lordship well bear in your mend, that the engagement to pay off tho don of 33,000/. ors on Iffreonelition that it should be paid before the theatre opened.

Mr. Lambe, who had 'been one of the Sub-Conimitiee, now asks your Lordship to put an end to that Committee, and states it as his opinion, that it would be better governed by being under the control of one unfettered manager.

As to the oinecti iiii of want of jurors, this has been the case in the Opera-I se, and all con cerns of this kind, but it is impossible to get at them. The encuMbrancers certainly ought to be heard. If this Sub-tumn►ittee was not properly elected. it cannot legally act, for by its acts it cannot bind the corporation. If verforrners engaged with them, they could not come on the corporation, but they might come on the Sob-Committee. Du not let me be understood in they are nut properly ap pointed. If they are properly constituted, the Plains tiffs are the persons who appointed them, for there is no power for any oilier persons to act. On casting my rye over the Act of Parliamelit, I see no power given to tier General Assembly, ex. crpt over the first Suit-Committee. Then, if the Act has tint given the corporation the power of ap proving of the Defendants, their power is gone altogether. The only case brought to bear oil this has been those of cattails, where the Legislature had nuthorired bodies to raise large sums of money. in which case the Legislature has always confined them to a certain suit; and if it was not sufficient for the purpose, this Court would mint allow them to put it to any other use but that in tended by the Legislature.
