&mKo/ AT Nzu

Acrazas.
Mr. Hunfrey and Mr. Keuneth Macauley appeared for
the plaintiff. Mr. Macaulay, in the emptiest? absence of
Mr. Haughey, addressed the jury, and stated that it was an
scion brought by the husband of a lady known in the thea-
trical world as Mies Julia Harland, to recover from
Mr. John Medex Maddox, the lessee of the Prin-
cess's theatre, the amount of six wekks' salary, An
agreement had bees entered into by which Ilia Har-
land was engaged as prima donna, end to play ia musical
farms not burlesques, in the season of 1848.49, at a salary of
U. a week. She bad appeared mu or twice in the character
of Wilhelmina, in " The Waterman," which no deubtcause
within the range of characten she had engaged to play,when,
from some motive or other, Mr. Maddox substituted Miss
Emma Stanley for her. In April, no doubt wish-'
ing to get rid of Miss Harland, he wrote a letter
to her husband, to the effect " that he had '
before refrained from complaining of the incapability of Miss
Harland to do the badness for which she had been engaged,
that he was obliged to take away the part of Madge Wild.
firs from her at Mr. Loder's representation, and pcstpose
the opera of " The Heart of Mid Lothian," at a time when
novelty was required ; and that the opera of " Marie " had
been withdrawn in consequence of the disapprobation of the '
audience to her ; and two composers age had new '
operas had stipulated that she should not sing in
them. He therefore could not continue her engagement.
Mr. Hoskins, however, held him to his engagement, and
the next step he took was as follows. By a rale of the
theatre, if an actor did trot appear in a part, sad afeediee
person was enp'oyt“, they were to forfeit a cutsks esseent
of salary, or their engagement might be camellia It was
of course expected when an actor was suspended teem a pert,
and afterwards replaced in it, notice was to be glees to them.
Oa 17th April, Miss liarland's name was pat is Om bills to
play Wiffs-larina instead of Miss Stanley, and she mould not
have known of it but by accident. She, however, went to
the threat:a dressed toe the part, but en order basins been
given to omit the music, she refuse' to set, and on this pre-
text Mr. Maddox cancelled her engagement, and refused to
pay her salary for the rest of the season.
Miss Emma Stanley was called, and stated that the " Wa-
terman" was a ballad opera, and Irillielaeisa the principal
part, which she had performed. Miss Harland took the
port when she became prima donna of the theatre, and that
it was taken from her and given to the witness. She MS
sifted in April again to give up the part. Notice was always
expected to be given to the other performer on such air
nous. Miss Harland, on the 17th April. was in the bills to
play. Witness was desired by Maddox to be at the theatre
early. Miss Harland was dressed for the pert. Witness
was afterwards asked by Maddox to take the part. The
part was as frequently performed by a prime donna as a
singing actress. if the musk was cut out, it was not a put
fur a prima donna. Witness performed it with the music
In utsnexerninatios, she stated that she sang one int:e-
dged nag, and not the original main—a modem moat.
New beard Miss halted say she was hired. It was
expested that performers should look at the bills every
seseast
Mr. Fenton, the promptor, proved that the bills of 17th
April were put out in the morning, He knew of ac message
being sent to Mill Harland that she was to play the part of
Wu/minima. He received a letter from her that evening ;
he gave it to Mr. Maddox. He knew Miss Harland did not
play the part. He inserted in the minute.book a note to
the effect that Miss Harland refused her part unless she
sang the music, and left the theatre. Mims Staaley played
the pert, and was allowed to sing one song. He sever knew
the part played without the mune.
In cross-examination, he raid btdlle. Nan was then. She
was prima donna. Mies Poole was there too, and Miss
Rafter; he considered them prima donnas. A prima donna
would only play in the " Waterman" as a matter of
' mertegy, not of right.
The call-boy proved that he took a message to Miss Har-
land: that hrr songs in the " Waterman" were cut out.
She said if such a thing took place, her husband had desired
her not to go on. He knew she was now engaged at the
Grecian Saloon, City-road.
Miss Murray, an actress, was at Sullen Wells Theatre on
17th April. Saw Mr. Hoskins the plaintiff, there on that
night, and told him she saw kiss Harland's name in the
bills for Wilkassiria.

An actor at Sadler's Wells proved that ha went with the
plaintiff to his house, and told Miss Harland she waa in the
bills. He knew her when she was called Miss Julia Wal-
lach. Abe was the daughter of Henry Wallach. He remem-
bered her at Simila's
Richard Marsh, an actor at Sadler'. Well., under the
name of Huston, never knew the part of Wilhainsian with-
out musk.

itTeliafter--Wee a prima donna at Drury-lute. Never

Mr. De eggen, ohms-master at the Primmer, gave similar
wido.

The letter of the Gth of April was road. The answer was
&homed, Warring to the arts/nes of agreement, and stating
the plaintiff 'a intention to abide by them.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkt.. (with whom was Mr. !loggias and
Mr. Winston) addressed the jury for the defendant, and
urged that Miss flatland contracted with the defendant in
two characters, as prima donna and also in musical farces.
No motive wee given for his whaling to get rid of her, if she
had the quilifications he supposed she had when he engaged
her. Awarding to the rules of the theatre she cancelled her
ongagemunst by refusing the part assigned to her, and making
it moneary to substitute another performer for ►er.. The

OF ST. PAUL'S, TO ESOOTER HIS &lASI OF • FIND,
ON THI lIINSWAL or • Lease.
Mr. Beduin Musing and another learned gentlemen
were weasel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Cockburn, (3.C.,
with whom was Mr. Wordsworth, represented the defendant.
The was an motion brought by one of the vicars choral of
St. Panes Cathedral, against the defendant, who wee also •
vicar choral of St. Pink's, and who Mien the aMes of votes-
tiary of the nears choral, to mover his share of 1,1001., pan
of the manual of a fine sayable to the vicars
aboral of St. Paul's, upon their khan In the
grant of a lease of certain freehold property, si-
tuated at Steeple Sumpetead, In Burn. It appeared
that the revenues of the nun choral consisted partially et
Saes paid en freehold property &sated on Ludgate-hill, at
Steeple Buagetead, in Beau, and at Halstead, also in Esser.
In this property the dean and chapter, the minor canons.
and the virus choral were interested. In the month of
July, 1848, the vicars choral and the minor tenons granted
to • certain party • lease of the property at Steeple Bump-
stead, in Besse, upon which occasion the sum of 1,1001. was
that part of the flee paid to the vicars choral, but the plain-
tiff did not receive his share on the ground that as he was
fernier hie year of probation, it being customary for vicars
choral to serve • twelvemonth before the were fully
appointed to the office of visor choral, he did not join in
granting the lease, and wee not, therefore, entitled
to any share of the fine paid on the eccesioss.
To trove the plaintiff's case evidence both oral and docu-
mentary was produced, and it was endeavoured to be shown
that inasmuch as In the year 1748, • person, named Savage,
who was then a vicar choral in his probationary year, had
joined isccanting a leak*, and had received a share of the
flee, the *ntiff was entitled to receive a sixth part of the
1,1001. he books in which the matters relating to the
vicars choral were entered, were produced, and it appeared
that Savage and another vicar choral, named Was*, had not
been fully admitted as Tide, choral until some years after
they had served their probationary year.
Mr. Cockburn, for the defendant, in his 'Adria to the
jury, read an extract from the books of the vicars' choral,
from which it appeared that the general practice for a cen-
tury had been for • vicar choral, who was serving his pro.
bationary year, not to join in any lease, or to naive any
part of the tine paid in respect of the lease. With regard
to the cases of tee two vican' choral, Savage and Wass, the
learned counsel remarked that it had been discover.d that a
mistake had been made, for in the moath of March, 1762,
when a lease was about to be granted, the very same day
that it was granted, Savage and Was. were fully admitted
as vican' choral, so that they might properly join in the
demise and receive their where of the fine. It the defendant
was liable, it was contended that he was not liable for more
than his own share of the fine which he had received.
At the conclusion of the learned counsel's speech it was
agreed that a nominal verdict should be taken (or the plain-
tiff, and that the case should be turned into • special can,
liberty being given to either side to insert in the special case
any extracts from the books of the choral vicars they might
think tit; and the question whether if the defendant was
liable at all, he wan liable beyond the amount of his own
shire, should also be raised by the special case.
our report of the MSS of " Colombine v.
Penbsll," which appeared in the Express of Saturday
last, it was erroneously stated that the amount received by
the official assignee of the plaintiff, who had been made a
bankrupt, was 92,00 W., it ought to have been 921.

_
Mr. Crowder, QC., end ?dr. Miller were counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr. Serjunt Wilkins =a Mr. Hoggine for the
defendant. .

This was, as already stated, an action of trover to recove.
the value of a pianoforte, a writing dark, valued at 14 guineas,
and various other articles, alleged to have been the property
of the pleietiff's late wife during her life time. The case was
tried in 1843, before Mr. Baron Platt, when a verdict was
found for the plaintiff with 501. damages. A rule for a new
trial was subsequently obtained on behalf of the defendant,
on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of
evidence, and that the learned Baron reported his &math-
faction at it. The present trial commenced on Saturday
and occupied the greater part of this day, hating upon the
former occasion occupied two entire days. It appeared the
plaintiff, who at one time kept a circulating library at
Albion-place, Hyde-park, and his brother, a butcher in the
seme neighbourhood, eloped with the defendant's two
daughters in Sept, mber, 1846. They were married without
the defendant's consent, at dith rent churches, on the same day,
and no reco..eiliation afterwards took place until a day or two
before the death of the plaintiff's wife, which occurred in
January, 1818, in ker confinement. The defendant, who
was a widow, called upon her daughter a day or two before
her death and forgave her. It appeared Mrs. Bull was an
excellent performer on the piano, and in 1831, when she was
only eight years of age, her graadmother, a Mrs. Davis,
then 73 sears of age, with whom the defendant and her
family lived, purchased the piano in question for her, and
paid 150 guineas for it. The writing desk was also
a gift purchased for the plaintiff's wife, and given
to her many years before her marring'. No demand
Was made for those or the other articles which farmed the
subject of the action until some months after the death of
the plaintiff's wife. A formal demand was then made, and
ultimately the present proceedings were commeno d in May,
1848. Mrs. Davis died in 1836, saving bequeathed all her
pr iperty, which was very censiderable, to her daughter, the
defendant. Several witnessu • deposed that the pi no was
for the exclusive use of the plaintiff's wile; that she
alwajs kept the key of it, and that another instrument
bad been purchased for her younger sister, who was not ro
good a musician. The other ahicaes were also described as
the property of Mrs. Bull. On the part of the defendant it
was contended that the piano, Sec., were her property, and
that her daughter had never any exclusive right to them.
In support of this view of the case, the fact was relied on
that no claim whatever had been made by the plaintiff until
some time after hie wife's death ; and after the rule for the
present trial was obtained he wrote a letter to the defendant,
throwing the entire blame of having brought the action
upon his father aad brother, and soliciting some assistance
from the defendant to enable him to leave the coantry, as
his eireamst incise were embarrassed.
The Lord Chief Baron, summing up, said that twice as
much money had been lavished in litigatien as would be
necessary to purchase two pianos and the other articles
sought to be recovered. It was most painful to see such
earns squandered in legal proceedings; and he could not
help saying that if there had been the ordinary good feeling
which belongs to • moral or religious education such an
action es this would n • have been brought. The question
for the jury was, whether the articles mentioned were the
property of the plaintiff's wife during her lifetime, so as to
justify him in bringing this action.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and in half an
lieu, they returned. The foreman stated that they had
Kited to a verdict for the plaintiff for 150 guineas, the
of the piano, and 14 gaieties for the desk.
The Lord Chief Baron reminded the jury that the piano
had been purchased 16 years sgo, and it could not be now as
valuable as it was originally.
The foreman said the jury had agreed to their verdict for
the amount stated, as they had no evidence of the value of
the property.
The learned Judge, after a short discussion, directed the
jury to reconsider the matter. They accordingly retired,
ant'. in ten =luaus returned their verdict for the plaintiff—
with 801. damages.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAY.
Byrom Ha. CurioFloss' HOIXOTD.
IN AS GIBBON AND BTORT.rTIIII ST. ALBANS AND HR

The following is continued from our yesterday's report of
the proceedings in this case.
Mr. Cutbill sate he thou.ht the hank was covered, with
about 1,0001. to spare. The property had only realised
3,6351. —shout half the valuation. Of the bills discounted by
them, above 2,0001. worth had turned out had. The general
result of Mr. Walker's statement was, that the liabilities of
the bank were 13,6731., and the auets 11,4031. ; in this
latter sum wu included my debt of 4,2.001. Supposing this
good, the bank was still in a deficiency of 2,2101.
A long di.cuselon lure arose between Mr. Lawrence
and Mr Unklater, as to 'he peeper mode of stating the
deficiency ; on which his Honour observed that it was not
so much a question as to the precise amount of the figure.,
as to whether there had been any wilful misrepresentation
to the creditor..

Examination continued—l undoubtedly stated to the
creditors that my private estate would be more than eutfieient
to elver the defici. icy. We believed so at tho time. Mr.
Beible's status. nt showed the bank deficiency to be above
6,0001. I wilt not swear whether Kind: is bill for 7501. was
included in our statement of the bank property. I cannot
pledge myself to accounts which I do not understaad.
During 1614, 46, and 46, my expenditure did not exceed
7671. a ]ear ; but when I began to borrow money on mort-
gage, I boom I was ruined with interest. Mr. Deb's-
ham came to me before tits bankruptcy, and asked
tor a prefi nice. Ills solicitor said, as I was not yet bank-
rupt there was no fraud in it. Never said I should keep
those creditors who were clamorous at erm'e length. Don't
recillect Mr. Debenhem saying that if my frimda did not
come forward they would perpetrate • island on the depo-
sitors. I assisted in getting the proceedings against Bturt

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
UTTERING A " FELen" Nora.—T. Regan was charged
with having uttered a piece of paper purporting to be a note
for 61. of the Exeter, Somerset, Leith, and Ireland Bank,
which is not in existence, to F. Wentworth, the shopman of
Stow and Co., tailors and oetfitters, of No. 142, Minorite.
Mr. Wentworth said on Saturday afternoon the prisoner
and another man came into the warehouse to purchase a coat,
for which the prisoner agreed to give 16e. ed., tendering at
the same time the note in question. I had not change
enough in my peassmion, and I went out and soon ascer-
tained that then was no banking-house of the name. On
my return I took sere to have the assistance of two police-
men at hand. Upon pine; into the warehouse I was asked
by the two men whether Chad got the change. " No;" said
I, " It was nonsense to think that I could get change of such
• note." " What ?" said the prisoner, "do you mean that
there is no such bank ?" " Certainly," said I, " and you
knew that well before you came here," and then I gave him
into the custody of the policemen, but his confederate man-
aged to get away. When I handed over the note to one of the
oMmrs, the prisoner get hold of it, tore a piece off the corner
of it, made it up like a pill, and endeavoured to swallow it,
but was prevented.
The prisoner-1 took the note for a good one in payment
of cigars which I sold to a man, and it mu the policeman
who tore it in snatching it from me while I was examining it
with him.
Alderman Carden—But why did you try to swallow it if
you thought it genuine ?
The prisoner—l never had a morsel of it in my mouth.
Alderman Carden—Why did; your companion make his
ear ape when he found that there was a question about the
note ?
The prisoner— i can't say why he left me in the difficulty.
The policeman who apprehended the prisoner said tne
prisoner swore the note was as good as gold, but he 'mild
have gulped it down if I had not taken him by the
throat.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE CAPTURE OF GAMBLERS IN JERILYN-STREET.—
All the individuals taken last week in an alleged common
gambling-house, known as the Strangers' Club, 119, Jeri:qu-
eued, were in attendance at the court to learn the decision
of the magistrates.
Mr. Bingham having requested that some three or four of
the delendanta should be summoned into court, then pro-
ceeded to give the following decision:
Mr. Bingham—The defendants have been brought to this
court, one of them as the keeper of • common gaming-house,
the others as persons found therein without lawful excuse.
It appears that a superintendent of police, acting under the
commissioners' order, repaired to the house in question at
night, when a person on the outside made a sigual to those
within by coughing and throwing a missile at
the window. The superintendent immediately caused
the outer door to be forced open, but found another
door within constructed of iron, and so firmly secured, that
the process of breaking it open would have occupied a quarter
of an hour. After some time, however, that door was opened
by a person within, and the police, on proceeding up stairs,
found the defendants apparently taking refreshment. There
was a table in the room covered with a black varnished cloth
and a backgammon board. No cards, dice, or any implements
for gaming were discovered, but there was • square mark on
the varnished cloth that corresponded with the size of a itie.
From the precaution taken to barricade the house, and to
give reties of the approach of the police, no doubt can be
entertained that the persons within were engaged in some
unlawful pursuit, and the grounds for suspecting that they
were engaged in gaming are so strong, that the commissioners
were fully warranted in making thu attempt to ob.ein the
evidence necessary to establish the offence. But neither a
magistrate nor a jury can be justified in proceeding to a
conviction upon mere suspicion, however strong, and there is
nothing in the evidence before me to show unequivocally
that this house is • common gaming house, or that the
defendants were engaged in gaming.
A solicitor who attended on behalf of the owners of the
house broken into, applied to Mr. Bii gham to inform him
where the documents were upon which the police had
founded their proceedings. He contended that Vie police
bad acted illegally by breaking into the house and by
wantonly destroying furniture in it.
Mr. Bingham peremptorily refused to give the least
assistance which might have the effect of furthering any
ulterior proceedings, which the persons whom he represented
might have in view, and expressed an opinion that the
defendants should consider themselves fortunate in having
escaped Conviction.
IHFOUTANT DECISIOW.—THE PICCADILLY SALOON.—
The alleged proprietor of the Saloon, Piccadilly, a person
named Beale, attended by his professional adviser, to bear
the decision of the bench with reference to a summons oli
mined against him by the police, for " knowingly permitting
common prostitutes to meet and remain in his be use." 1.
was proved that there was neither drunkenness nor disor-
derly conduct visible in the saloon at the time.
Mr. Engham's decision was to the effect, that the evi-
dence adduced established the fact that the defendant was
guilty of " knowingly " permitting females of bad charge-
ter to assemble in his establishment, and also that he was
liable to a line for so doing, notwithstanding that the meet-
ing was in all other respects an orderly one.
Only a nominal fine, however, was indicted, as the de-
fendant had declared his intention to be to appeal to a
higher tribuaal against an to:eerie decision. Notice of ap-
peal was given immediately subsequent to the delivery of
this judgment.
