WAGNER,
ALBERT WAGNER."
In November, 1851, Dr. Becher met he plaintiff in Paris,
when the latter objected to he agreement as not containing
a usual and necessary clause preventing Mademoiselle
Wagner from exercising her professional abilities in England
wi•hout the consent of the plain iff. whereupon Dr. Bacher.
as the agent of the defendants, A. Wagner and his daughter,
staled an article in writing in the French language, of
which the following is a translation :—" Mademoiselle
Wagner engages herself not to use bar talents at any other
tin•atre, nor in any coiicert or reunion, public or private,
without the written authorization of Mr. Lumley.—Dr.
Joseph Richer, for Mademoiselle Joanna Wagner, and
authorized by her." The agreement, together with the
supplemental article to it added at Paris, was signed by Mr.
Lumley at that place, and they were both adopted and ac-
quieved in by M. Wagner and his daughter, The acquies-
cence of the daughter was shown by a letter from her to !Ir.
Bieber, written in the German language, and dated froth
Berlin on the 27th of November last ; that of the father was
shown by a letter written by him also to Dr. Becher, and
which was as follows: -
" D ar Prieild;— You would Wait long for a letter from
Joanna, I myself do not know whether you, wandering
Jew, are now in Vienna; however, I write at all events to
inform you that we have sent the' necessary letter to. Mr.
Lumley, and requested him, pro forma, to defer once more
the fulfilment or the contract for a fortnight Niger, which
has been already settled between us. He (Mr. Lumley) an-
swered very pelitely, and agreed to it; however he would
have wished her to be present for a longer time at the re-
hearsals of the Prophete, but it is impossible, as everywhere
this time Joanna has .much work to do before her journey. and
it is merely a short time ago that she began studying her
Italian parts, and she requires a fortnight's rest before un-
dertaking in London another work which will require all her
energy. I should otherwise bring her, check mate, to Lon-
don, but that would not do. We shall try to be there at the
appointed modeent, and farm liamburgh, where she will re-
main at beraieister's during-Passion-week, she will probably
leave on Easr Monday. Joarina remains for her debitt iii
the Prophae; being sure of a'quiet, extreme, and sure suc-
cess. They prefer Romeo, because they say
she alone makes
Romeo. Ifs he. Succeeds the people will go to the Prnphete
for her sake alone; but ihey.
welled not go for the whom of
Lumlev's Prophete, since- it is ti-iuch better at Gye's; there is
something for both, but • Tab.' is preferable ti, ' Fid.' Tim ,
however, in which everybody agrees, is, that we have made
a very bad bargain as regards money matters; that clause
pres,ed by you on us which pr.ibibits us from singing at con-
certs. it is a r. al loss, especially as we are to have neither
apartments nor carriage free, which had been granted to
other,. England is only to be valued for the sake of her
manes-. I am curious to hear bow your speculation is termi-
net leg. You appieir to be the very mail fora. F.irewell !
I us hear from e nu. Receive our best compliment,. and it
you wish to hear trout-us Joanna will tell you. A thousand

from yours truly,
"A. WAGNER."
The pltintiff subsequently extended the time stipulated by
the
the rein of lastweement fmonth rom theM Ist to telBth of April, 1852. On
. A vt,
~ agner wrote a letter to the
oAm:if, of whkh the following was a portion •.

hearsals of the Prwhete, and leave tie to profit by your con-
seta, and put oil'

engagement, so that it should begin the 16th, and continue
ula the mid Ile of July ? if you send the bill of exchange,
be good enough to address it either at this time to Berlin, or
eon, the •..); of April to Harnburgh, to Engel and Co., Ferdi-
nand-s•reet, where we shall remain some time with our
daughter:" „
Tele letter was signed Albert Wegner." At the period of
its date Becher had in " his hands 400/• belonging to the
plaititiff, and before the plaintiff received the above letter he
tied arranged with Becher that he should pay to Joanna
Wagner the sum of 30 )1 stipill.ted by the agreement to be
paid to her. Vu the 11th of March last the plaintiff wrote
to A Wagner, at Berlin, a re to his letter of ttiN 9th of
that month, in Which lie said hat he had paid the sum of
O 1. to Becher for Joanna SVagner, and that he had no
doubt that befare that letter reached him the same had been
duly paid ov..r. To this letter the plaintiff •
received no reply.
tin the loth instant Mr. Lumley, while
at Paris; received a
protest, dated the 6th instant, under the seal of a notary
public ot Hamburgh, repudiating the agreement of the 9th
-ol November, 1851, on the ground that he had not fulfilled
the B'.ll Article of it, respecting the payment of the sum of '
3eo/. Up-en this Mr. Lumley proceeded at once to Ham-
burgh, to endeavour to induce A. Wagner and his daughter
to iultil their agreement, and tendered Wagner thetn, through a
noter% public, the sum of 30 1.- in. two Bank of England

sufficient grounds have prevented Mdlle. Wagner from sing-
ing at Covent-garden, it certainly had no power to make her
quoted'ing ata

practice of the Court, when it could not enforce the specific
performance of a contract, not to interfere at all. He also sub-

tTi
th The
had Learnedewys
been
nntsbeel
mitttd tli'at there had been a breach of the contract by the
nonpayment of the stipulated sum of 3001. on the part of Mr.
Lumley. He therefore thought that the Court was not
called upon to take the course which was urged upon it, but
that the parties ought to be left to their remedy at law.
Mr. MORTIMER followed on the same side.
His HONOUR suggested that an undertaking should begiven
that the young lady should -not act to-morrow, leaving an
,pportunity at the same time of making affidavits in the
course of the day and entering into the merits of the case.
Mr. Mattis said that he was afraid he should not be in a
be: ter position, because it would be impossible to make affi-
davits in the course of to-morrow.
His HONOUR then said that the Court must act necessarily
~n ex parte information, and the statement of one side only
of the question. It appeared then to him, in the first place, that
the contract containing the prohibitory clause was the real
eora fide contract existing between the parties, and that it
had been accepted and agreed upon by both parties, and was
the agreement by which the conditions of the engagement
were regulated. If there were a contract between the parties,
there was little'doubt on his mind, that ifs party agree., to do
a specific thing for a valuable consideration, and to refrain from
doing something else inconsistent with that former thing,
that the Court could and would interfere to restrain the
party fromoabtodcheitof:oihrwnrietghshqitoctahuwhhteesantt:i.which had been agreed not to be done,
which bad been agreed to be done.
even if it were unable to compel the performance of that
