ELLINSOaOUGH.
THEATRICAL TILACAS.

TNE KINO v. Call•IIVILLII CLIFTON JUCKIA, ISQ.
This was an indictment for an assault. Mr.
Peat I, as Counsel for the Prosecution, io opening
the case, observed, that the assaidt complained of
was committed upon the person of Mr. Henry
Erskine Johnston, whie he believed, was well
known as a most respectable performer at Covent.
Garden neer.. The transation he was about to
state, grew nut rf an evil, which, he lamented,
had of late years increased to so great a degree, as
to render places of public amusement almost inac-
cessible to persons who had any regard for mo-
rality and decency. It was an evil, whieh all good
men, and every father of a family, must deeply
deplore ; and as long as such a measure was stil-
t/red to exist, no man, who hall a regard for his
slaughters, could bring them there. without the
risk of their ears being offended by expressions the
most abapdoned and infamous. He hoped, h'w.
ever, that the inteiterence of His Majesty's High
Chamberlain, the Earl of Dartmouth, would, in
some measure, put a stop to it. What he alludid to,
was the shameful conduct of females of a certzsin de-
reriPtiorta and young meth lOW styled themselves
men of fashion. who too constantly frequented
the Theatres, and disturbed and annoyed.
not only these near them, but frequently the
whole audience. The tads, he said. were
these :—On the evening of tie 14th of No-
vember last. a near play was to he performed at
Covent Garden Theatre, called The 1)&4,117w-it,
tromtbe pen of Mr. Reynolds, in which Mrs Joon-
store the wife of the Pro,ecuror, a vet, popular ac-
tress, and a lady of a most unexceptiegable clsasac-
ter, was to sustain a prominent part. Mr. Johnston
being interested in the success of the piece, as well
on his wife's acts. unt, as his friendship for the au-
thor, but not having the least idea of making
any distu-bance. went with some friends to toe
Upper duxes, to wisness the perfernsence. A Mr.
Malay, who was a party in this inshansent, hut lad
rea pleaded, with two ladies, of notoriety in the
h z lobby, of the names of Martin and Ross, sat
in the reij ening box, and, at the drawing up of the
curtain, talked so loud, as to distur', those about
“ silence," was vociferated from the surround-
ing boxei, but this only seemed t r encourage them
to make the more noise. Early in the secand Ad,
these disturbers of the night were j•iiiied by the Di-
fendant. Mr. Juckes, when several imberal and in-
decent observations were made by them up in Mrs.
Johnston's dress and person, so loud, that all those
around, could di.tiosily hear them; they said, she
was tt a eve price. and too good for that ugly fel-
low tbriansiee," rneanisig Me. Johnston. nth-. had
performed that charader, and pointing or looking
at him at the same time. in allusion to a pearl or-
nament, which Mrs. Johnston wore in her lead. in
honour ef the immortal Nelson's vidoey, represent-
ing a ship ; they observed, " she was a tight 74. and
would take in an III113X:)el of parongtri...ice. die. #

indecent and shameful to be repeated ; and whlcei,
at the ranee time, not o iiy drew the attention of
every one around, but disturbed and annoyed the
whole audience. Mr. Jonnston, as a public cha-e
meter, did not l:ke to in effete. ar.J for a time sa:

self ; but. at length, roused by a just and lairaahle
indignation, for xn amiable wire, alum he was ie-
tiring, in order to procure a Constable, the Ds.f.:nd-
am impeded his way, by throwing his arm a. r.-iss
the division of the box, and as ;elf. Johnston stoop-
ed to open the door, he struck him a s-vere blase
in the bask of the neck, which threw n'm upon a
gentleman before him; however, Mr. Johnstun im-
mediately recovering himself, and observing from
whence the blow came, returned it with interest and
celerity, and struck the Defendant in the eve ; Min-
gay raised his stick in defenceor 111 eroreae.oe ; a
general bustle ensued. toe perteamame uas sui• I
pendea, and the whole audience disturbed. The
friends of Mr. Johnston int. erred, the parties were
taken not, and tranquillity again restored. The
Learned Counsel, in conclusion, said, he hoped and
trusted that by their verdiet the Joey would show
to the world, that the conslud of these box-lobby
loungers WAS not to be tolerated with impusiity ;
and would, by their recording 4 verdu.t of guilty
against this Defendant, resew a most essential
service to thepuillic, it sot by intireiy ridding places
of public entertainment of these/perh sexier'. at
least by giving them a very salutary lesson.
Mr. Henry Erskine Johnston, the Prosecutor,
being sworn and examiaed, nearly corroborated
this statement ; he said, he nad accompanied some
friends to the play that night, they were. Mr: Phil-
l•ps and his sister, Mr. Seabrook, and Mks Court-
ney. Be'ng a peak eh-wafter himself, he did not
like to interfere, but requested his friends and some
other gentlemen in the box would endeavour. to
procure silence. He had not the slightest intention
of giving the Defendant any cause of otfence whie
fe was going morn the toe, his objed being to eau
a constaote or the box-keeper. A. he approached.
the door, the Defendant threw his arm over the
parapet, and he observed one of the felirlSiet, Mrs.
Martin. endeavouring to change places with him
SS it to prevent any quarrel. He positively 'were
on provocation was given on his part whei, be re-
ceived the blow in the back of his neck trom the
Defendant, but admitted, that wuen he recoveted
himself, he certainly returned the compliment, by
giving the Defendant a smart brew in the eve.
siingay, at the same Moment, assailed him with
his stick. He said. he did not strike Mingay, fug
if he had, he must inevitably have thrown am Sato
the Pit.

Ups his croseesamination, by Sir ViceatiT'
Glass, he said. there was some upiapprJbattoa from
the audience towards the latter part of the piece.
but it was repeated for some nights after. He
(ettainly was very anxious for the success of his
wile. and his frienu's play ; it was her first appear.
once after two years absence. Any allusion to him-
self he could put up with, but none to his wife. He
never discussed an the tree win Mr. Reynolds ; not
could he tell whether that Gentleman studied Ho.
race or Terence, or whether it was cartiiered
ter to have the dnelopetnent of the plat is the

certainly struck as hard as he could ; but never mac,
used in the schotA of Nlendoza, or any other,. since
he left the High School of Edinburgh, where ha
was educated. He did 'not recollect any thing b. ink
raid to him at the time, nor did he hear Char:t:t
Kernble say be was wrong. .
Mr. Johnston was efirrnhorated in this testimony
by Miss Philipp., Mr. Robert Keating, a gentlemast
nn whom he Ml, when struck, and Master Franc's
Greisler, one of the children belf•nging to Cie
German Thearie, who swore positively to seeing the
blow given by the Defendant..
Mr. Pa lute intimited that he had several moss
witnesses to the facts, but declined calling them.
After some eis::sultatinn with his Conwel. the
Defendant dec:ined going into any defence, or
calling an,i witnesses, as the parties agreed to adiu.t
the business.
A verdict 'of Mike was accordintlf entered, 6'4
