COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Sittings in Lane after Term, before Lord ChiefJuatios Denman, and
Patterini and Wightm.n Justices.
lit's• v. Ll:ln.—This case mime before the court upin a
demurrer to one of the pleas in an action which has been
some time pending.
Mr. Peacock, in support of the demurrer, paid the plaintiff
was the manager of Drury-lane Theatre, and the action was
brought upon en agreement, which was set out in the decla-
ration. By it the defendant had engaged to sing twenty
times at Drury•lane Theatre, either between the sth of
June and the 21st of July, 1845, or between the 30. h of
September and the 15th of November of the same year.
The defendant was to choose either of those two periods,
hut her choice was to Le made before the 31st of March.
The plaintiff, on his part, engaged to pay the defendant 20
WWI of 60 louis.d'ore esch. The declaration then alleged
that both of those m riede had e'ap ed, and that though the
plaintiff had been ready and willing to perform his part of the
agreement, yet the defendant did not come and e.ng during
either of those period', but refused so to do. The defendant
plead( d that thoucb true it wee she had not chosen either
of those two periods, yet, after the time of making her elec-
tion had elapsed, the plaintiff did not require her to sing at
or during 4 ither of the said periods, whereby the defendant
was discharged from the performance of the said agreement.
The learned counsel said, that hero the defendant had had
an tppentuttity of doing one of two things: to sing for 20
nights during either of two periods ; and, having neglected
to give notice of her choice, she failed to sing during the
second period alter having tailed to sing during the first.
Lord Denman : Is there no one on the other side ?
Mr. Peacock: I thought my learned friend Mr. noggins
was in court.
Lard Denman: I think this plea cannot be supported.
The defendant engaged to come and sing. Judgment must
he given for the plaintiff on this plea, unless Mr. noggins
can suggest anything to the contrary.
Judgment for the plaintiff.
Niel Dams.—Before Mr. Justice Erle.
WARD ANDANUTHER V. CASSE.—Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
and Mr. Addieon, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser.
j:ant Shee, with whom was another learned gentleman,
were euunael for defendant. This was an action brought by
Henry Ward, Esq., M.P., Secretary to the Admiralty, and
Mr. L'.win, who are proprieters of the Weekly Chronicle,
and st.em.printing machinists' against a Mrs. Anne Cass',
residing at lioreat's-place, St. Joan's-wood, to recover the
suns of 501. for printing the Court Gazette and Fashionable
Guide, of which it was alleged the defendant was the re-
gistered proprietor. From the opening addrees of the
learned counsel, it apatared that the defendant had
heroine proprietor of this publication in the month
of May, 1843, and the plaintiffs undertook to do
the printing, for which they were to be paid quar-
terly. They continued to de so down to the month of
December, 1815, when the paper ceased to exist. The payments
had been made from time to time, but not with great regu-
larity. The sum of 201. had been paid in the month of
June, 1515, and 51. was now brought into court, so that in
fact the amount actually sought to be recovered was 251.,
the balance of the account. Several applications were made
by the plaintiffs between the months of June and December,
1815, to which the defendant did not reply. but in January,
1846, en anonymous letter wasrectived by the plaintiffs, which
was ev;dently the composition of the defendant, and in
which it was said that thu lady who was the former pro-
prietor of the Court Gazette and Fashionable Guide had
discontitAnd to be so in June, 1815, and that she considered
herself not liable for any demands up .m the paper after that
time, as the plaintiffs had rad notice of the change in proprie-
torship; that the writer, moreover, considered the applications
for payment were exceedingly impertinent ; and that in fu-
ture, if any more were made, they would be consigned to the
contempt the y deserved. On behalf of the plaintiffs, Charles
Barday was celled, who etated that he was manner of their
printing machine, and that he had machined the Court
Gazette from some time in 1813 down to the time when it
expired in December, 1845. The usual circulation was about
650 per week, and the charges of the plaintiffs were fair and
reasonCile.—The next witness called was Mr. Foot, the
clerk and collector to the plaintiffs. He Paid that
the payments of Mrs. Corse were at first rather
irregularly made, being 61. or 71. at a time. The
defendant become et length se far in sneers that he
called upon her at her residence, and said unless the plain-
tiffs' claim was paid up they could not print the Court
Gaz.tte any lotger. She then u.ade a proposal to pay a
weekly sum of 11., through her publisher, Mr. Abbott, of
