up this rent.
By Mr. James—Wheel I esok.4aosmasioa on the 10th, I
took everythleg that was three.
The night Hon. Wrnhis Lord Ward (new ereated Berl
Dudley) exandeed—My kst seasexion with Mr. Lumley
was in @Wag opera hoses. I faherested myself about open-
ing the theatre. The oast of Croft sad Lumley was then
pending. It was impossible in the existing state of things
for Mr. Lumley to open the theatre. I advanced money to
astable him to do; so. In all I have edeanced between
90,0004 sad 100,0001. The hue was assigned tome at a nag
of 1,9001. a yew. At the Interview la 1867, Mr. Lumby
was very maim to have the terms as while he held the
theatre altered, sad ft wee arrenged that if the owed Lumley
sad Croft were decided in his favour I should reduce the in-
terest on the debt from 6 to 4 per cod. He also
seed me to allow
atisiduar's tent to /prod over
▪ others. Thant to two pedats—the settle-
ment of the appeal in his vourt end lds regular payment of
the rent each year, and since that time r believe he has
not paid any rent. After the appeal was settled in his favour
—in Jane 1868—it wad iheikeely teadentood that Mr.
Lumley shouldO give the tholes up. It was only a question
of don on his appealithat It would he wainsus to his troupe
ead disastrous to himself to nest to eany is the theatre is
the middle of the IMMO; '`Oa his spree, I not only
let him go on till tensed of the aimsea, hat to give some cheap
representations, which carried Mines affil August. Even-
tually it was arranged that the Assam should be given up,
be sad should give a judgment far the rent due.
The Lord Chief Baron—Did you ever agree to give up the
backrest ?

LoWiisnl—Nevvr, my lord.
Cram-examined by Mr. James—l wrote Ude hit. The
latter, which was dated, March 17, 1866, called on the de-
fendant to wises the Mao to the plaintiM who would not
mot leis pound of flPsh, and to place himself maramrvedly in
hat hands, which were not unfriendly urea.
Croup examination continued—Mr. Lumley had trimonthly
bated of forming an operatic company, but told him I did
not think the public would support him. It was frequently
stated to Mr. Lumley that be must abbot give up posmasion
or pay the rent. When I said I would mot my pound of
dash I meant that of Mr. Lasky, la °magma°, of mo-
°awful operatic seasons, could have meet° BM end said, be
could then pay the 100,0001. I had advanced, I should not
have asked for Murat.

Thk closed the ws for the plaintiff.
Mr. James, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said
that ha hoped before this case was over the jury would be of
opinion that Mr. Lumley had acted towards iLord Ward in
every way that became a man of honour and a gentleman.
Lord Ward, who took a great interest in the Opera-house,
had certainly advanced large slum to keep it on is legs, and
Mr. Lumley had, to adopt Lord Ward's own language,
placed himself unreservedly in his hands m being friendly
men He bed given up his entire totems' in the theatre,
and on hie doing so ths condition was that he should not be
called upon to pay the rent Min due. Hs would prove that
at the 19M of July, 1868, an action having been commenced
by Lord Ward to recover the rent, Mr. Becton wrote that
Lord Ward was prepared to camel the lease, and to abstain
from all further proceedings for ealbraing the rent ma Mr.
Darnley !Meg up posesapion quietly. This Mr. Lumley did
—he did pleas himself unreservedly in Lord Ward's hands,
and it woe not until November that any demand was made
line the real.

ErnJamin Lumley examined by Mr. Hawkins—l am
the defendant in this action. I have been connected with
the Opera shoe 1842. My connexion with Lord Wad com-
menced in 1844, and scathed down to 1866. In March,
1866, I repaired the letter from Lord Ward which has been
read. In pursuance of that I assigned the Sawa to his lord-
ship. I always estimated the value of the Isms at 160.0001.
Previously to 1866 lard Ward offered rue 10,000/. if I would
✓eign the lease absolutely to him. I carried on the opera in
the season of 1866 oat my own responsibility. Lord Ward
always contemplated the forming of an operatic samdatkin.
I met his lordship in Paris recently, and he asked me why I
had not formed an operatic sesocietion 8 and I said that as he
had a lame Waren in the theatre, be might put down hie
same. This hie lordship declined to do. At the
meeting et Dudley-house in July, 1867, before the
judgment of the House of Lords was given on the appall,
Lord Ward stated that if the appeal was favourable to me I
should have the whole term, and the rent reduced
by the reductica of the' laterieet, and that one year's
rent should be foregone and spread over the remainder
of the term of 36 or 117 The riot 'awateid up to
Michaelmas, 1867. Is sera.
1868, I to Lord ,
Ward to postpone the payment of the mat, ea appeal had
not been decided.
Several letters fron Mr. Beubow, calling upon the defend-
ant to relinquish the theatre as he could not pay the rent,
were here put In. In another latter, after the decision on the
appeal, Mr. Bestow wrote that he was %striated by Lard
Ward to take out proceedings unless the rent was paid.
Extunisation cot tinaed—After I received that letter I
called on Mr. Benbow. I said that if Lord Ward would
carry out the arrangement of July I would get assistance
from my friends to pay the rest. He maw Lord Ward, who
would sot consent, and Mr. Beam, said, "If you'll give
give up posmeeion quietly we'll not ask you for the rant."
On the 17th of Jane, 1858, I rave up the properties to Lord
Ward. They had coot me 6,0001., ant were every particle of
property I had in the theatre. On the 19th I received a
letter from Mr. Benbow stating his regret that he bad, on
the instructions of Lord Yard, after great indulgence, issued
a writ against me to recover the rent. At an interview I
had with Lord Ward, he told me I meet either pay the tent
or give op posemeion. A few days attar the writ wen ;seared,
when Mr. Benbow was present, I told him I had given up
possession of everything, end it was no nes promoting
against me for the rent, se I had no means left to pay. I
then gave a pledge to give up postremion after the season was
over. Lord Ward said I tied taken the year's rest to
which I was entitled, and I replied, " No, my lord, it is
only three quarters." In hot, the effect of that inter-
view is properly stated in Mr. Benbow's letter of the
19th of July. When I reminded Mr. Benbow of
the arrangement that if I gave up poopselon
quietly he would sot demand the rent due, he said " very
well," and vented to it. From that time I regarded the
matter as eroded. I gave up poesemios on the Tuesday, sad
not • w, rd was said about the rent or any warrant of attor-
ney or undertaking. la Augu-t, September, and October,
1 had coutothaloatioas with Mr. Benbow as to signing a
deed is reference to some interest. to which I am • party,
and not one weed was raid about the rent. I left England in
October, 1858, sad not one word was said about the warrant
of attorney or the rent, either directly or Indirect] . I saw
In Wad in Paris at the end of October or the
of November, and nothing was said about the rent beyond
this. I said, "Your lordship always promised me a year's
rent," and be said, You ham got it. '
Cross-examined by Mr. Bovril—Meows. Vendor= and
Co., of Bash-lace, acted as my solicitors. I believe Lord
Ward advanced the money in the cause of "Croft 0.
Lumley."
Mr. Bovill—You value the lease at 160,0001. Have you
not bend that some pinions ham valued it at 60,0001., and
that others would net take it as • gift ? (Laughter.)
Mr. James—We shall be very glad to take it back.
(Renewed laughter.)
Defendant—l never beard it was veined at only 60.0001.
The properties were put up by auction and were bought to
by Lord Ward for my benefit tor 10,0001. I received the
profits of the theatre during the season of 1868 and the ea-
tended season, and 1 did not pay either the ground rest or
Lord Ward's rent. I was not to pay the ground rent. I
paid 1,604. for insurance is 1868. I stated to Lord Ward
That I had kept up the charm/ter of the theatre, and had paid
aB the Graham_ _ .

Beeelamined—l brought out the Buguenok. The expense
of the wardrobe for that piece would be from 5004. to 6001.
Mr. Bovill here proposed to oall Mr. Lee to prove that Mr.
Lumley had over-estimated the value of the lases.
Mr. Jsmes objected, but his lordship held the evidence
could be given.
Mr. George Lee, of Golden square, then deposed that be
valued the lease befote Mr. Lumley took the theatre at
60,000/.
Cross-examined—l have asked 7 0001. a year rent and
7,0001, down on behalf of Lord Weed from Mr. Smith, of
Drary.lene. I hese refused a rental of 7,0001., but the diM-
ruby was that so mosey was to be paid is &draw* and
there wee no security. Tbe 7,0001. down was to be for the
P17:618.ie dosed the trees for the deflident, which wes summed
up by Mr. Isar.
Mr. Bovill then replied.
TM Laid Chief Baron, in summing up, held that the can-
celling( the lease did not bar ibe plaintiff's right to recover
say rent which might be due when the cancelling took place.
Tee harden of trovieg that the rent woe then given up WU
nertsialy on the defendant, and not on the plaintiff. Lord
Ward's letter, calling on the defendant to place himailftture-
tervedly In his bands, was written two years before port-
Ileadoll of the Opera-house wee givetiap. Oa the
one band Mr. 13,nhow said be bad sever given up the
rent, sad had never been authorised to do se. Lord 'Went
bad givtn a smiler account ; but Mr. Lumley, on the other
hand, said that it was clearly understood and arranged
that the rest should be foregone on his giving up possession.
The jury would have to decide on this evidence. Hiving
drawn the at•ention of theury to the oorrespoedeuos be-
tween the parties, the teamed
judge left it to the jury to say
whether there was • bargain that the rent should be given up.
If rio they would find for the plaintiff, end if not, for the de-
fendant.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff
for 4,6691.
His lordahip certified der a grid jury.
