Mr. Evens, a linen draper, proved list dis eillawhist w...,
to compromise with Mrs. Beestoo by making a compensation.
—The defendant said, if the plaintiff had est.ressed to him a
desire that he should look at her ►boulder, he should doubtless
hate done so. This was the plaintiff 's ease.
Mr. Scariest addressed the Jury on behalf of Mr. Campbrll,l
but called no witnesses.

The ford Chief Justice left the Jory to say, whether the de-
endant had sheens the skill • professional man was justly ex-
pected to base, • lien called on to assist • person suffering
under such an occident. lfthey thought he bad been deficient
in that respect, and the plaintiff had thereby suffered pain and
inconvenience by bis negligence and want of skill, they ought
to find a verdict for the plaintiff, with moderate dammos.
The Jury found • verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages 1001.—

severe inners was unable to appear on the night of her benefit,
namely, the 26th of September. Several apologies were also
made whet: abe could not sing. The manager, taking advantsge
of her illness, refused to pay the 501. agreed for, and Miss ta.
having married, her husband brought this action upon the con-
tract. She had received 121. 13s. lid. fur which she gave the
defendant credit. The balance upon the contract was 371. 4a.

The statement was proved by Lucy Green, the mother of
Miss Green, new Mrs. Bedford. The witness did not know
whether the action was bunk by her son and daughter, or by
Mr. Bishop.
Mr. Scarlett, for the defendant, said he would prove by Mr.
Bedford's hand-writing, that the action was brought by Mr.
Bishop, in his name, witiout his direction. Miss Green, by
not playing and singing, had lost the manager the advantage he
expected from bringing ber down to Birmingham, and under
these circumstances he did not consider himself bound to pay
for the eights abe did not sing ; at the same time be allowed her a
benefit, which she took as a remuneration fox the nights she did
nut play. The It arued counsel read a letter from the
written in Dublin. The following was the substance :-
1 received your's, and was greatly surprised to hear of the
proceeding of Bishop. 1 took the letter to my attorney, who
says I outwit not to eunsent to the action without having indem-
nity forcosts. I wish to keep my band, out of law.--1 sin glad
to hear your' Tem and Jerry' is doing well.
Mrs. In.tram and Mitts Wlialet, both actresses at the Bir-
mingham theatre, proved that Miss Green did not play on se-
veral occasion. in consequence of illness.
Mr. Cullyer, the prompter, gave similar evidence.
Mr. Bellamy, a surgeon, proved that Miss Green was amble
to sing on the night fixed for her benefit.
The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict foe

lock and key. The defendant still supposing his provisious had
been improperly obtained by the plaintiff, indicted him at
