And what was the opposition of Mr. Greville? It was a very natural one; it was this: that gentleman found that the plan of Mr. Arnold would interfere with one which he himself had LOCKE'S SYSTEM.

IMPORTANT THEATRICAL CASE, Arno'd, of opening a Theatre merely in 'he hottest of she sUrnmet months, and when the town wan empty, ,Ind which theatre ceuld only he regarded Ls a stb stitute for the Italian Opera. Nut he would proceed with the document to which he had referred, atv3 wh;ch would set the object of Mr. Arnold, end the nature and spirit of the license granted to him, beyond all question or doubt. Mr. Artiolti, in his memorial through the Lord Chamberlain, goes on to sc7, "But as this is not a pe riod when designs upon a large :ad costly scale can hope For a favourable consideration and success, it is his inten tion to coritent himself with making his experlment upon small and limited scale, to be in future times extended, conceived. The LORD CJIAXCELLOR—You are now speaking of the second license? The, SOLICITOR-GENERAL—...NO, try Lord, of the first. Your Lordship will presently see that Mr. Greville was ,:oncerned in the mond license, but at present the first vas under consideration. Mr. Greville applied to Lord Dartmouth, and claimed from that Nobleman the fulfil ment of a promise which he said he had made to him, viz , that if a new Winter Theatre should he licensed, he, Mr. Greville, should have the license. Upon that Lord Dartmouth sent for Mr. Arnold, and told him that he had given him a license which had been claimed by another party. He had given him A license to act winter and summer, forgetting a promise he was said to be under to Mr. Greville. That being the case, the license must be shared with Mr. Greville, and they must do the best they could to meet each other's views. What, therefore, was the fact? Not that the Lard Chamberlain had the slightest doubt of the propriety of there being another Winter Theatre, hut that he had been called upon to fulfil a pro mise : and therefore he found it necessary to say to Mr. Arnold he must divide his license with Mr. Greville. Such was the history of the first license. The case cf a third Theatre, upon a plan and a petition such as that pro posed by Mr. Arnold, could in no degree he considered an usurpation upon the other Winter Theatres, whether it was licensed to Mr. Arnold, or conjointly to Mr. GI eville. He now came to a transaction which occurred in 1509, be tween Mr. Sheridan, on the part of Drury-lane Theatre, which was then unfortunately burnt down, and Mr. Ar nold and Mr. Greville. The case of license, he should here premise, as regarded the Crown, should be taken per se, and also as it related to the particular parties applying for the license. He wished then to call the attention of the Court to the case of one of the contesting Theatres, which did not take place in the dark, but which was generally known to all the theatrical world. In 1809 the great Theatres knew of the license to Messrs. Arnold and Gre ville, and the next question arising out of that was, what followed from such a knowledge? He would not for the present dispute the monopoly of the Patent Theatres, but he asked was it to be contended that parties who had an admitted right might not waive it either directly or indi rectly as they saw proper ? He would not, however, split hairs upon this point; his case was plain and simple, and entirely depending upon a few facts and indisputable con clusions. Drury-lane Theatre was burned down in ISO 9, when the late Mr. Sheridan— The LOAD CHANCELLOR—..The paper before me sap Mr. T. Sheridan. LONDON MARKETS.

The SoLicrroa-GmcenAt,--The fact was so, just as his Lordship stated it, but the deed executed by Mr. Sheridan on the part of Drury-lane, and by Mr. Arnold and Mr. Greville UP to the hiring of the Lyceum, was now in his (the Solicitor-General's) possession, another party to which was a gentleman of the name of Peake, who was considered to be well skilled in theatrical affairs. The Lyceum Theatre, so hired, had then a license from the Crown, and so permanent was the property in it con sidered, that it proved the foundation of the contract, and admitted the property to be in Messrs. Arnold and (ire villa. Mr. Sheridan, in the deed, certainly stipulated for the continuance of the rights before enjoyed by the Pa tentees of Drury-lane, but nevertheless the annual license under which the Lyceum existed, and during their enjoy ment or occupation of the latter, the same course was pur sued as had, from the period of the first license, prevailed at the Lyceum.

T" COURT JOURNAL and GAZETTE of the FASHIONABLE WORLD . The distinguished success which has attended this pub lication from its commencement, is a proof how great was the necessity for some adequate and exclusive channel for the communication of intelligence regarding the movements, manners, and feelings of the higher classes of society. The commencement of a new reign under the happiest auspices, and the institution of a new and perfectly organized Court, are circumstances which must materially heighten the general interest attached to the proceedings of Royalty and Nobility, and the brilliant circle connected with them. This favourable conjuncture of circumstances will afford great additional scope to the COURT JOURNAL ; and no efforts will be spared to extend its utility and increase its claims to public favour.

PATENT THEATRES—Mr. ARNOLD'S PETITION. This evening, at seven o'clock, was the time appointed by the Lord Chancellor to hear Mr. Arnold's petition, the hearing and decision of which had been referred to his Lordship by the Kiog. Upon this occasion there were associated with the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Vice-Chancellor, and Mr. Justice James Parke. The Vice-Chancellor's Court was the place appointed for this hearing, and the view which it presented this night was, perhaps, without a parallel in the history of Equity Courts. As early as six o'clock the doors were beset by an impatient multitude eager for access. A favoured few obtained admission through the private door. Within a quarter to seven the public entrance was thrown open, when the rush folly equalled any scene of confusion ever witnessed in the pit of a theatre, in the best days of the drama, on the first night of a new tragedy. Beyond those actually engaged in the cause we noticed hut one or two gentlemen of the bar, who remained in Court only for a few minutes. Mr. Charles Kemble, Mr. Bartley, and other eminent performers were in Court, as were Mr. Morris, Mr. Arnold, Mr. George Robins, and a number of gentlemen interested in theatrical affairs. Mr. Caleraft, M.P., sat immediately under the Bench. The Counsel in this important legal proceeding, in which Mr. Arnold means to try the long-considered in violability of the Davenant and Killigrew patents, were— For Mr. Arnold—The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Sir E. SUCHEN, and others. For the Patentees of Drury-lane and Covent-garden— Mr. Hasteasosr, Mr. ADAMS, Mr. J. BROUGHAM, Mr. BOUND, and Mr. RUSSELL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas, and his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR, took their seats on the Bench at seven o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Solicitor-General, for whom do you appear? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the matter in which he had to appear before their Lordships was not new. On former occasions he bad addressed most of their Lord ships on the leading topics, but the course they had then to pursue was somewhat new. He appeared as Counsel for a gentleman well known t a -Ahe public. His client was Mr. Arnold, who, during a te.ig course of years had had the good fortune of enjoying the patronage and favour of the Crown, and the benefit of a license for his Theatre, which ranked high among the Threes of amusement in this great city. Mr. Arnold enjoyed his lieense front 1809 until the calamitous fire which destroyed the Theatre and placed him in the situation under which he then stood before their Lordships. It .would appear that the effect of that fire had reduced him to the necessity of accepting a subscription, being whotly,uneble to rebuild the Theatre at his own expense. He ives. e fortunately in a condition to petition again for his license, and having always conducted his Theatre well, no cause could be shown against him to justify any portion of his Majesty's subjects in op posing him for the purpose of setting limits to the license which was to be considered by their. Lordships. .Mr. Arnold called on the Lord Chancellor to. admit him to a proof of the regularity of his conduct.. . Mr. Arnold could prove that he bad done nothing to forfeit the favour of the Crown. He was there in Mr. Arnold's behalf, and could assure their Lordships that his client was not askine. the Crown to give him, through the hands of that Court, a new license, but a restoration of the old license. He did not call upon them to extend the old license, but to decide that he should not be restricted within the limits laid down by those who opposed him. Before he proceeded to state the case, with full confidence of success, he considered it his bounden duty to his client and the Crown to advert to the grounds on which the license had been opposed. He ' should not do justice to the cause if he did not impress • upon their Lordships that his client had to withstand a rival interest which formed the basis of opposition. They all knew that for a long series of years there had been two great Theatres, known by the n tines of Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres. The only opposition offered to Mr. Arnold had come from the great Theatres. He should not then state the ground of that opposition, but simply observe, that as far as he could understand, the Proprietors of those two great monopolies had been in duced to consider that they had the exclusive right of con ducting Theatres in the regular way. They endeavoured to restrict Mr. Arnold, by asserting that in the reign of , Charles 11. certain patents were granted to their Theatres of a nature which would go the length of circumscribing even the prerogative of the Crown, and the Learned Counsel op posed to him would state to the Court, not only that the pre rogative of the Crown could not be extended to his client, but their patents conveyed an inviolable right to them to have the only regular playhouses ; that th e y were t o b e mono polists, and exclude all the rest of his Majesty's subjects from the enjoyment of their rights. Their Lordships would allow him to state that Mr. Arnold claimed no peculiar right, nothing in which his fellow-subjects could not participate, nothing that the Crown could not grant to the rest of his fellow-subjects. He only asked to have that granted to him which he thought the Crown would be disposed to grant to him in the exercise of its rights. He was not desirous of putting this question in a personal point of view, but to let it rest on the broad and fair prin ciple of justice. Mr. Arnold was the son of a gentleman of great musical celebrity, t , who enj o y e d th e f avour an d pa tronage Third.sit Mr. Arnold having in contemplation therg ap plied for a license , and no doubt was then entertained that the granting of such a license would interfere with the prerogative of the Crown. He appeared when that license ofGeorge the rt setting g up of a Musical Theatre, was applied for as the Counsel for Mr. Arnold's petition. Their Lordships would find that Mr. Arnold presented a petition to the Lord Chancellor, and the subject matter of that petition wee so blended with the question to come ap • 'tn under the consideration of the Court, that he should state the substance. It was a petition presented by Samuel John Arnold, wbo described himself to be sole proprietor of the English Opera. The petitioner stated that in 1809 a license was granted by Geo. 111. to establish an English Opera for the encouragement of native talent. The petitioner enjoyed the house for se ven years after the demise of his august Patron, and in the year IStti the license was renewed. In February last the whole of the Theatre and property, to the amount of sixty-seven thousand pounds, was destroyed by fire. The petitioner was then tillable, with the assistance of his friends, to rebuild it, but being at last in a condition to erect it, the petitioner prayed that his Majesty would be p l ease d to extend his benevolence, and permit the interest o f t he petitioner to be promoted by directing that the English Opera might be licensed, and restored to its par ticular form, namely, a Musical Theatre for the encourage ment of English talent. Titus their Lordships would see what his client sought. Nothing new was required but that which was established with the approbation of his Majesty George the Third. When Mr. Arnold did ob tain that unlimited license which he was desirous of keep ing, it was considered unnecessary to impress upon his Majesty that such a license was subject to the objections of those who oppeeel Mr. Arnold in the present instance. The Court would see the whole meaning and intent of the license granted by Mr. Arnold, anti if he should convince their Lordships that there bad been no misconduct on the part of Mr. Arnold, he thought they would be of opinion there existed no ground for refusal to renew to him the license in the form and latitude originally granted. On the licence in that form much capital bad been expended, and all the prospects of that gentleman depended upon its renewal. The paper to which he alluded was marked A. It was appended to their proceedings, as being the prospectus upon which Mr. Arnold had erected his Theatre and expended his capital. Mr. Ar nold applied to establish a School for National Music, Operatic Drama, and Scenic Painting and Spectacle. The Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Dartmouth, was the per son applied to. It was urged, as a motive for granting the license, that immense sums were annually lavished on foreign artists at the Italian Opera, anti the advantage which . would arise from an Opera established on English princtples was clearly pointed out. The plan of Mr. Arnold was this, and this only, to raise an English Opera-house, for the encouragement of English music and English artists, and the improvement of Scehery upon new mechanical principles. The English Opera was to he cherished, and to be supported by the taste and liberality of the public, protected by the grace of the Sovereign, and conducted with the best energies of Mr. Arnold. So formed, and so upheld, it was to become the rival and the direct opponent of the Italian Opera; and there was never any intention, at least in the mind of Mr. if prosperous, until his whole and complete plan shall be realised and perfection attained." Such was the language of the first memorial Mr. Arnold had presearteel to the Crown. The first paragraph of that memorial set forth Mr. Arnold's plan, which was to found &Theatre in oppo sition to and in rivalry of the Italian Opera House, and therefore a Theatre to be open during the winter months; and the second paragraph, without abandteng the ori ginal and complete plan, gave the reasons why Mr. Ar mild did not think it advisable, et the particular period of his first memorial to attempt to carry it into immediate execution. The Court would observe also that Mr. Ar nold, in the second paragraph, expressly declared it to be his intention, if he met with the encouragement of the public, to carry his original end extended project into effect. If, then, he was right in the construction which he hail put upon the memorial, viz., that it was the avowed in tention of Mr. Arnold to raise an opposition to the Italian Opera, could it be doubted for a moment by any rational man, that Mr. Arnold cm-aux:plated the foundation of a Theatre to be open during the winter months, when the town was full, and the Italian Opera in full play ? Such was the design set forth by the first paragraph, and it was confirmed, and not given up or abandoned by the second paragraph. But the prospectus, the paper to which he had referred, continued, and stated that Mr. Arnold " had consulted many friends," who concurred in recommending him to apply to the Lord Chamberlain, and had enabled him so far to mature his designs as to put it in his power to entertain a strong expectation of being in a position to open a new Theatre in the ensuing autumn or following spring. • If then any doubt could have been entertained as to the nature of Mr. Arnold's plan at first, surely such language as that which he had read must have removed it. There was no concealment. Those who were most interested in the subject—the Crown, whose grace and favour were appealed to, and the public, whose amuse ments were to be affected—were all fully apprised of the designs and the intentions of Mr. Arnold. His object was to found an English Opera, which was to rival, if not su persede, the Italian Opera; this could only be done by the establishment of a Winter Theatre. But the memorial proceeded to state that Mr. Arnold was fully aware of the objections the Lord Chamberlain had to increasing the number of Theatres. Why, what was the meaning of such language? Could it be supposed that Mr. Arnold had any other meaning than that of increasing the number of the Winter Theatres—the number of the Theatres to be open at one and the same time? Further remark upon that point appeared to him unnecessary. The memorial proceeded to state that Mr. Arnold would not enter into the many powerful reasons which induced him to form his original plan, but he would content himself with merely soliciting a license to authorise the performance of musical dramatic per formances or operas, and pieces of action ; as thereby he should only be understood as laying the foundation of that permanent plan which he had formed. What was to he understood by such language? Surely not that Mr. Arnold asked for permission to open a Theatre at the period when he could expect only empty bmches. But it must be con cluded, and indeed it must be evident, that the intention was that the experiment should be made at a time when competition could be fairly entered upon, which was only when the Italian Opera was open. Some other points in Mr. Arnold's memorial were worthy of notice. He pro fessed it to be his desire to introduce some new mechanical principles into the management and production of scenery, and it could not therefore be supposed that he did not con template any thing short of a perfect Theatre ; no mere school for musical science would have fulfilled his ideas. The memoiial also undertook that the Theatre should be so conducted as to give security and protection to per sons of rank and respectability visiting it ; and in that provision it was plain a Winter Theatre was contem plated, for in the summer months it was well known the town was comparatively empty. The memorial proceeded by stating, that should those intentions fortunately meetwith the approval of the Lord Chamberlain, the memorialist trusted his Lordship would deem it right to authorise by his sanction the performance of musical pieces and ballets of action, to be carried on in some Theatre of a conve nient size, and in a suitable situation. He then came to a very important point in the case, and that was the cha racter, as to time, of the license applied for by Mr. Ar nold. Having paved the way, and fairly stated his ob jects, Mr. Arnold told the Lord Chamberlain for what he applied for a license; but did he ask for one for any par ticular months? No; there was nothing specific, as to time, in his application. His object was to found a Theatre in opposition to the Italian Opera, which was then the only Theatre encouraging music, and that of a foreign growth. Mr. Arnold, however, sought no pa tent, no exclusive rights to the prejudice of his fellow subjects, or to the curtailment of the prerogative of the Crown. He merely asked for a license, which would not release him front the controul and authority of the Lord Chamberlain, but which would annually subject him to the exercise of that power. Such a course of proceeding required no remark from him. 31r. Arnold proceeds to say that his first idea was to purchase the Theatre situate in the Strand, and then to state his views with respect to it. Now their Lordships would observe that although the license was to be granted annually, it was not to expire with the year, excepting upon misconduct. The power of superintendence and controul was very properly reserved to the Crown, in order that any abuse might be corrected, or that any impropriety, if such occurred, might he altered through a proper in terference. To such a superior Mr. Arnold had no ob jection. For several years the license had been granted to him, and he would appeal to the conduct of Mr. Arnold as the best proof it was possible to give of the wil lingness of his client that it should still be continued. He had thought it right to go through this memorial, as it would put their Lordships in possession of the declared and real intentions of his client, and at the same time plainly show upon what representations the license bad been granted. No language he could command could equal the clear, candid, and sincere language of the memo rial, or be so deserving of the attention of the Lord Chain. berlain, through whom it was addressed to the Crown, or of their Lordships before whom he now quoted it. In this part of the case he had nothing to do with hearsay _ . evidence. He spoke upon ascertained facts. In 1509 a license was granted to Mr. Arnold in consequence of the memorial. The first license, which was the fruit of the application he had referred to, and which he was most anxious for their Lordships' attention, was granted at a period when Mr. Arnold's intentions were fresh in the memory of the Lord Chamberlain (Lord Dartmouth) and of his late Majesty George 111. ; for that George 111. was personally acquainted with all the circumstances of the case, and took great interest in the designs set forth, there was no doubt, and it was also equally well known that his Majesty George 111. approved of the license to Mr. Ar nold as a memorial of his kindly feelings for Dr. Arnold. The Loan CHANCELLOR—How is the paper marked to which you are going, to refer' The SOLICITOR-GENERAL doubted whether it was marked. The license was dated the 26th of February, 1809. (The Lord Chancellor intimated he had found it.) It was signed for S. J. Arnold, Esq., and au thoi ised him to perform musical dramatic pieces and ballets of action at the Theatre in the Strand for one year. Now what was the plain, and indeed the only, meaning of that license ? The perfin•mances were licensed for one year, and not for the part of a year. Now, if he understood the arguments or the case of his Learned Friends—and he did not mean to say he was sure he did, for in theatrical affairs a loose ness in language and facts might be allowed which was not permitted in law—but if he understood their case at all, they must show that Mr. Arnold had not power under the license to perform for a year. To sustai❑ their case his Learned Friends must show to their Lord ships that iMr. Arnold's attempting to perform for one whole year would have been an infringement upon their patent and inviolable rights. He contended, however, taking the license according to the allowed and plain mean ing of the language, that Mr. Arnold had a perfect right to perform a whole year without interruption. Such was hie position upon the first license granted to Mr. Arnold. lease to Mr. Sheridan the teem was altered, and ran from September, 1809, to May, 1810. The LORD CaraNceeton.—Then how establish a yearly letting under the license, when the term was so altered? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—The deed between the parties set out that Mr. Arnold was the principal pro prietor of the Lyceum, which was of itself a recognition of the lieense, and therefore of the power and right to let, though for a tern) different from that contained in the license ; the premises were regularly demised. The LORD CHANCELLOR-Were the premises only de mised, or was the license included? For it would be but right to know if there was also a demise of the right of property under the license which was from February to February, and not from September to May, as in the letting to Mr. Sheridan. Take care that the latter delusion might not prove a bar to the right for which you are now con tending. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL-.4115t SO ; but he would shell-, from the provisions of the deed, that each of the contracting parties for the Lyceum and Drury-lane had stipulated for all the then existing rights of the one Thea tre under the license, and of the other under the patent. The premises were not only not alone demised, but the expenses of the house (the Lyceum) and the division of the ultimate residue, were to be managed ae before, which was in equal thirds between Mr. Arnold, Mr. Sheridan, and Mr. Greville. The deed also stipu lated that the license should continue as it had been already granted to Mr. Arnold, although, as was be fore stated, Mr. Sheridan conditioned that the monopoly of the Drury-lane Patentees should not be invaded in con sequence of the existing license under the Lord Chamber lain. The object of this deed, generally, was to ackoow-• ledge the license and all the other rights granted under it, to the Lyceum, and to all of which Mr. Sheridan fully consented, though be was naturally enough jealous of the privileges of Drury-lane. So far then as the contract went, as well as the deed, there could be nothing doubtful, unless, indeed, they were in this case to be differently con strued from what they would be in the ordinary transac tions of this nature between man and man. The license was fully acknowledged. Mr. Sheridan declared his con sent to it, though as a Patentee he did not waive his right of monopoly, and that was a consideration of very considerable importance. The license of Mr. Arnold was from Feb. 1809, to Feb. 1810, and the reason of the alte ration was simply this :—Mr. Arnold had neither sought nor obtained a license for the performance of Tragedy or Comedy, which it would be necessary for the Drury-lane Company to perform ; but this they could not have done without permission from the Lord Chamberlain, which under those circumstances was granted. And this, in fact, was no new license, but only an alteration to suit the particular circumstances of the case. The LORD CHANCELLOE-The first lease to Mr. Arnold was from February, 1809, to February, 1810. The lease (for it amounts to that for all the purposes of this case) was from September, 1809, to May, 1810, and that was not Mr. Arnold's original lease. The SOLICITOE-GENXEAL—Certainly so ; but he was prepared to shew that the old license, from February,lBo9, to February, 1810, only went off in consequence of the sub sequent contract with Mr. Sheridan, which made an ex tended license necessary, in order that the Drury-lane Company should be enabled to act in tragedy and comedy as well as in opera and other dramatic entertainments, to the two last of which the old license for the Lyceum was restricted. Here be begged leave to state his suspicion that an attempt would be made on the other side to in troduce a charge of interpolation into the license, and he only mentioned it, not as worthy of refutation, but to shew he was aware that some such idle intention existed. The license to Mr. Sheridan from Sept. 1809, to May,lBlo, was not referrable to the single title of Mr. Arnold alone, but merely chewed that the general title for acting was en larged, and the general title so far went hand in hand with the particular title. The result of all this went to show, that upon the representation being made to the Crown of the change of the demise to Mr. Sheridan, the term of the license of 1809 was extended and carried down to February, 1811. In the license of 1812 the name of Mr. Greville was omitted, because that gentleman no longer wished to trouble himself with the concern. He had some better speculation, as he imagined, in view at the Argyll Rooms; and, indeed the quarrel did net arise be tween Mr. Arnold and Mr. Greville alone, for the Patentees of Drury-lane had, in Mr. Greville's opinion, used him very ill, and the separation took place upon a joint agreement. In fact, the Drury-lane Patentees joined with Mr. Arnold as to his possession of the license; in short, there was now, he believed, no dispute whatsoever upon that part of the subject. He was sorry to weary the at tention of the Court by referring so often to dates, hut the truth was, he felt obliged to state them, not knowing par ticularly the line of argument which was likely to be ude h op posed to him. He begged to remind the Court, that ire May, 1812, Mr. Arnold obtained a license for the per formance of English operas, ballets of action, &r. fo r the Lyceum for one year, and that was only varied fr om that of 1809 by commencing in May rather than in Feb oat y as it was before.
