The p'aint'ffs began business on the Ist August, 1950 ; and prior to their commencing, they engaged the defendant to enter into their service as a clerk, and a written agreement was subscribed by both parties in the month of July previously. By this document the defen- dant bound himself to serve the plaintiffs, by devoting his whole time to the promotion of their interests. at a remu neration of £l5O per annum.

Verdict for the plaintiffs : damages, £34 6s. Bd. STRAKCR AND OTRTCRS V. HEALD. The plaintiffs were the owners of a ship called the Agnes Lee. and the defendant is the secretary of the Newcastle Marine Assurance Society. The claim was upon a policy of insurance effected on the cargo of the Agnes Lee, in the early part of the year 1849, from Cork to Liverpool, and the facts of the case, as detailed in the evidence, were of a very peculiar character. In the month of June, 1848, the Agnes Lee proceeded to Alex andria with a cargo of coals, the master, John Clarence, being directed to bring back wheat for Liverpool. It was stated by the second mate that Clarence was of so intem perate a character, that, upon the arrival of the ship at Alexandria, the crew appealed to the British consul to be relieved from the captain, whose drunkenness had put the ship in great peril throughout the voyage. Upon the captain signing an engagement, however, not again to duty, the cargo of grain was taken on board, and the ship sailed on her return voyage. At this time it was alleged that the vessel was in an unseaworthy state, the sails and rigging were damaged, and the copper broken from the hull in several places. Eventually, however, the Agnes Lee reached the Cove of Cork, where she made so much water that the crew, who had been for several days kept at the pumps, refused to proceed in her, and fresh hands were taken on board by the captain to bring the ship to Liverpool. At this time, it was stated, the staunchions were gone, from the after part of the main rigging to the fore part of the fore rigging. A policy of insurance was effected by the owners with the Newcastle M4rine Society, of which the defendant is the acting officer. The Agnes Lee sailed for Liverpool, but was compelled to bear up for Cardigan, in an endeavour to get into which port she went to pieces, and the master, with his wife, and a great number of hands, were drowned. The underwriters resisted the claim on the ground of the suppression of material facts, and the unseaworthiness of the vessel at the time the policy_ was effected.

Some gentlemen in the town of Manchester series of dramatic entertainments, ds of which were to be applied to the local cha rities. Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket and Adelphi Theatres, London, on being applied to on the 21st of May for his gratuitous aid, promptly replied that he should be most happy to afford any assistance in his power, consistent with the requirements of his theatre ; were anxious to get up the proc Trice a he committe happened that, at this time, Mr. Webster was busily en gaged in bringing out the new comedy, entitled " Mind your own Business," together with another piece,in which himself and the whole of his principal with the the bass exception of Mr. Henry Bedford and Mr. We singer, performed. Mr. Webster stated the circum stances in which he was placed to the committee, and re gretted that he should be unable to afford stance It appears that Mr. Webster's answer to this effect was not posted till some time before twelve o'clock on the night of the 27th of May, and w.s not received in Man chester till the 29th, although Mr. Webster expected that it would he delivered about six o'clock on the 28th. In the evening of the 28th he received a telegraphic messagefrom Alanchesterrequesting a reply. Having already written an answer, which he had every reason to believe would have reached its destination, he did not deem it necessary to communicate by telegraph.

Mr. Webster, upon reading it, wrote to Mr. Worthington, secretary of the committees in Manchester, and that gentleman denied that it originated with them. Mr. Webster then consulted his solicitor, Mr. Robinson, of Half Moon-street, London, who demanded 'an apology from the publisher of the Guardian, which that gentleman refused to give unless the threat to commence an action was retracted.
