LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCEL LOR' S COURT, May 10.
(Before ViceeChancellor Paanza.)
THE RIVAL OPERA HOUSES.
LUMLEY v. WAGNER.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. BETHICLL proceeded to say—With regard to
to the law of the case, it must be remembered that the
interference of the Court would only be to prevent any-
thing being done in violation of the engagement, and
not to enforce specific performance. Now the judg-
ments and opinions of the Court on this subject must be
talon into consideration along with the particular cir-
cumstances attending them. Now none of the cases
relied upon exactly coincided wick this case, and he cons
tended that when there was an agreement, the specific
performance of which was only entorceable in a court of
law, and to the nonfulfilment of which the common law
had attacked penalties in the shape of damages only, it
was not competent for the Court to take a part of the
agreement and interfere to prevent the violation of
that part, and leave the whole to take its chance.
He would conclude by making an offer, which would
show the sincerity of the parties whom he representel
The offer which he had to make was this, that the in-
junction should be dissolved; and on the part of Mr.
Gye he was willing to offer that Mr. Gye would per-
sonally answer any amount of damages which Mr.
Lumley might be able to recover in any action for
breach of the agreement which he might think tit to
commence. He trusted, in conclusion, that his Honour
would be able to decide this case fully and fairly upon
its meries.
His HONOUR then proceeded to give judgment. The
case, he said, had been very anxiously considered by
him, and in its consideration he had been unable to con-
ceal from himself that from the manner in which the
case had been got up the whole particulars and circum-
stances had not been laid before him. The Court, how-
ever, would have to give judgment on the materials be-
fore it. The article upon which the jurisdiction of the
Court was founded was the prohibitory clause of the
agreement, and the first question for the Ceurt to con-
sider was, whether that clause was or was not a part of
the agreement between the parties. It appeared that
rocuringements
Dr. Becher was a mutual friend of both parties a
eng , and in
October, 1851, was engaged in p g
for Itiadlle. Wagner in London and Paris. He was pro-
vided, in his proceedings on the part of Cdr. Lumley, with
a pro tern form of his usual agreements, in which was
contained the clause of prohibition which had formed the
subject of s 6 much comment. Objection was taken to
this form of contract by the Wagnere, and the result was
that Lumley 's form of contract was thrown aside, and a
new one drawn up, which, being signed by both
parties, was carried by Becher to Lumley, at
Paris. It was, however, objected at once by Mr. Lumley
that the contract did not contain the prohibition,
whereupon it was added by Dr. Becher, and signed by
him as authorised by Mdlle. Johanna. Wagner. There
was no doubt that up to this time the Wagners were not
bound by what Dr. Becher had done. There was
nothing to show that Becher had authority to add this
clause, and had it not proceeded further be should have
had no heeitation in dismissing this clause as not bind-
ing upon them. Bat an agency might be created
by subsequent adoption as well as by precedent
authority. Dr. Becher stated that having added the
clause, he forwarded it to the Wagners, and as he said
was acknowledged by Madllet Johanna in the letter
of the lith of November, 1851. Madlle. Johanna how-
ever, stated that this letter referred to the contract of
M. Roqueplan. It was, however, pretty apparent that
from this time they treated this as a contract, and they
could not- have treated it es a contract and yet re-
pudiated this clause. It must •be remembered,
too, that Mr. Lumley had not signed any
contract not containing this clause. Both
Madlle. Johanna Wagner and M. Albert Wagner, in
their correspondence throughout, always considered
that there was a coutrsc betweca them and Mr. Lumley,
and as there had been no contract signed without this
clause, it appeared to him therefore that they adopted
the clause, and confirmed the agency of Dr. Becher on
their behalf. On this part of the case, therefore, he had
no doubt, in deciding in the affirmative, that the
clause was adopted by them. The next point was
the unfair manner in which this contract had
been obtained, and it must be remembered that all
the allegations of unfairness were limited to the introduc-
tion of this clause. Now, he did not think it was a
matter of dispute between the parties that some clause
of this kind was what might be called a clause, of
course, in such contracts perfectly fair and justifiable
on the part of Mr. Lumley. It appeared
that oa the first commencement of negotiations,
and on the discussion which took place cn this clause,
the objections made by the Wagners were not so much
against a clause of this nature, as against this particular
clause as betng too tar and too general. It must be ob-
served that Madlle. Wagner in her first affidavit stated
that she had objected to signing any engagement con-
taining a clause prohibiting her from singing at private
concerts, and Mr. Gye's affilavit was to the effect
that in the engagements at the Royal Italian. Opera
there was no clause prohibiting the artistes singing at
private concerts. therefore, appeared to him that
both parties considered soma clause of this nature as a
matter of course. On the contract, therefore, being sent
back to the Wagners they saw the clause, and as they
say objected to it, and were only quieted by the as-
surance of Becher that it should all be
set right when they got to London. That
was denied by Becher, that it must be observed,
however, that might be, that in their correspondence
with Mr. Lumley they never alluded to the chute, but
in their communication with Becher they spoke of it
more directly, but not in the way of proeset, but only
complaining of it as pert of a bargain which
they considered bard, but yet by which they
were then bound. It appeared to him, there-
fore, that they received this as a bargain by which
they were bound, and they were inclined with
the r eyes open to leave it to Mr. Lumley to allow them
any r,llax:ltion of it. lie did not, therjore, think that the
clause could be sa.d to have been unfairly introduced.
The next point to be considered was the payment of the
money: Now he c,.lnsitlcred that clause to be an inde-
pendent and not a conditional stipulation, and he did not
think the simple non-performance of it would of itself
bake away alt right of action. Though, however, he
did not consider it as a dependent condi:ion, it wee, he
must, say of essential importance in the contract, and if
there bad been shown on the pars of Mr. Lumley want
of willingness or good faith to comply with the stipula-
tion, he thought that gentleman would have come in
vain into that Court to ask it to exorcise that very
stringent power which it pissessed by way
of injunction. It would be incumbent, therefore,
on that gentleman not having raid the money,
as it was allowed he had nut done, at the time stipu- ,
laced, to show under what circumstances the non-pay-
ment
b_
took place, to answer the charge which was
brought
against him of note-performenee of the contract.
It wee requisite, therefore, carefully to examine what
took place with reference to the payment of the 300/.
On the
Bth of February they found Medlle. Wagner ap-
plyin
Fteta Mr. Lumley for an extension of time for the
onceCO gave of her engagement, and Mr. Lumley at
pear thagav:i!.consent to that request, but it did not ap-

letter they fouud Madlle. Wagner replying on the 12th of
March, telling Backer that she should be at Schwerin
up to the commencement of Passion Week, and during
the whole of that week at Hamburg's' On the 18th
March they found the Wagners receiving a letter
from Mr. Lumley, consentifig to an enlargement
of the time from the commencement of her engage-
ment, and informing them that Dr. Becher had un-
dertaken to forward to them a bill of Exchange for
3001. Now it did not appear on what day the Wagners
strived at Hamburgh, and he could have wished very
much that it had appeared, for the next fact that they
found in the erne was, that on the sth of April, the first
day in Passion Week, and the very day on which Madlle.
Wagner had informed Dr. Bather that she should reach
HambnrE,,h, and would meet him there for the purpose of
beinghconducted by him him to England—they found
M. Wagner entering into an engagement with Mr.
Gye on behalf of his daughter, treating the contract
with Mr. Lumley as at an end, and entering into an en-
tirely new one. If he were asked to consider whether
they were justified in so doing by the non-payment of
theanoney, he really felt obliged to say that the non-
payment of the money was sufficiently excused by the
eirearstences which took place. The limits given to
Mr.rlateceley were the arrival of the Wagners
at ailaustategh, and yet here they found them
coniTaciing a new engagement on the first day

THE

Bard to the mis-statements in the bill, be thought that
there were certainly inaccuracies, but not of such
gravity as to put Mi. Lumley in the po-
sition of losing that right of action. Upon
the whole, therefore, he really thought that this was a
case in which, following the view taken by Lord Cot-
tenham, in Dietrichen v. Cabbet, and following, too, the
view previously taken by Lord Eldon, the Court was
called upon to interfere by means of an injunction. The
Court would regret if the view which it took should. be
found to be erroneous, and injury should be sustamel
in consequence by the parties; but he could only say
that he was bound to act in the matter upon
the view which he took of the law. As to
the arguments which had been based on the view
taken by the common law, he did not think that they
were material. If the contract was a valid contract, and
Madlle Wagner was bound not to act in contravention
of it, any reference to the law of the place where that
contract was entered into, or the mode of proceeding
there, was not necessary. The court found a contract,
and was bound to prevent any violation of it so far as it
could. He, therefore, was of opinion that its plain duty
was to continue the injunction.
Mr. BACON asked that the motion for the dissolution
might be refused with costs.
His HoNoun said he thought he mast follow the usual
course in these cases, and make the costs, costs in the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
THAMES.

John Bailey, a corn porter, aged 32, who appeared in
a very dejected state, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with the wilful murder of Caroline Harris, a
woman with whom he cohabited. _ _

The investigation of this charge, whioh created a good
deal of interest in a crowded court, was abruptly termi-
nated by the sadden illness of the prisoner, and we give
the facts as they have been elicited upon inquiries made
in the neighbourhood where the fatal occurrence hap-
pened. The prisoner, a man of violent disposition, had
cohabited with the woman, who was of dissipated habits,
for several years, and he had frequently beaten her.
On one occasion he was fined for an assault upon her,
and in default of payment committed to prison for a
month. On Saturday evening, at five o'clock, the pri-
soner came home after a hard day's work, and found the
woman had gone out some time previous. He went in
search of her, and found her at the Dolphin public-
house, in Cannon-street-road, St. George's-in-the-East, in
company with two other women. She was partially in-
toxicated, and her paramour remonstrated with her and
said her acquaintances would remain by her as long as
she had any money, and when it was all gone she
would come home to him. On their way home to their
dwelling in Devonshire-street, Commercial-road, they
were quarrelling, and Bailey made use of some threats
towards her. On reaching home they entered the
house together, and directly afterwards a blow, supposed
to have been inflicted by the prisoner, was heard, and
it was followed by some person falling heavily in the
passage. At the time the blow was given the prisoner
was heard to exclaim, " Take that." The parties en-
tered their room directly afterwards, the door was
closed, and the woman was heard to fall several times
and to repeatedly call out, " Oh dear ! John ; oh dear."
Everything was quiet for a quarter of an
hour, when Bailey lett his room and called to a Mrs.
Knight residing in the same house. Mrs. Knight
asked him what he wanted, and he said, "For God's
sake come down stairs." Mrs. Knight asked him what
he had done, and he said, "My wile is dead." He then
ran out of the house and called upon his next door
neighbour, a Mrs. Rogers, and begged of her to hasten
into his d welling directly, adding, " I am afraid my old
woman is dead." Mrs. Rogers said, " I hope you have
not been beating her," to which the prisoner replied,
" No; I have only given her a slap of the face." Mrs.
Rogers made an observation that perhaps the woman was
only in a fit, and hastened into the room where she was
lying, and fouturthe deceased with her head against the
wall. Mrs. Rogers lifted her from the floor and ex-
claimed, " Good God! she is dead," and sent for Mr.
Rygate, a surgeon, who found considerahle marks of
violence on her person, which appeared to have
been recently inflicted. Mr. Rygate said she
had been dead for some time. Police-sergeant
Willoughby, 32 K, and Collongridge, a constable,
280 K, soon afterwards took the prisoner into custody,
and he said to the officers that when he came home he
found the deceased out, and sought for her and found
her in a public-house intoxicated, that he brought her
home, and that she fell about the room and hurt herself.
Mr. Rygate conducted a post mortem examination of the
body yesterday, and forwarded the stomach and its con-
tents, about which there was something very peculiar,
to Dr. Letheby, of the London Hospital, for analyzation.
The first witness called before the magistrate was a
young woman named Emma Baker, who stated that she
was living at No. 44, Devonshire-street, Commercial-
road, and that the prisoner and the deceased had been
cohabiting together for some time at the adjoining house,
No. 43. On Saturday evening witness was coming out of
her own house, and saw the prisoner and Caroline Harris
entering their own dwelling. The woman was crying,
and directly she entered the passage witness heard her
knocked down. The prisoner said, '‘ Take that. If any
man or woman interferes with me I'll serve them in the
same way." Soon aftewards she saw Caroline Harris
dead.

The prisoner, who became greatly agitated, here said
in a low tone, "I never struck her at all."

Mr. John James Rygate, surgeon and M. 8., of Colet-
place, Commercial-road, said, he was called into the
house No. 43, Devonshire-street, on Saturday evening,
and found Caroline Harris lying dead on the floor. The
left eye was blackened and swollen, and it appeared to
have been recently done. There was another bruise on
the forehead, one on the right side of the cheek, and
one on the chin. All these marks appeared to have been
caused by recent violence. He opened the body that
morning, and found a very large quantity of extrava-
sated blood on the base of the brain.
In answer to questions by the Magistrate, Mr. Rygate
said he understood the woman was found with her head
bent against the wall. Blows, or falls, or habitual in-
toxication might have produced congestion of the brain.
At this stage of the proceedings the prisoner turned
pale and trembled excessively. He appeared to be in a
fit, and the officers in attendance caught him as he was
falling, and were directed by Mr. Rygate to remove
him from the dock to a cooler place and lay him on
his back. He soon recovered, but did not appear well
enough to be placed in the dock again, and Mr. Yard-
ley remanded him till Wednesday.

THE RAGGED SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—Of all the numerous benevolent and valuable
institutions, of which this country, and this metropolis
in particular, can boast, there are few, if any, that
have stronger claims to the support of the affluent than
those designated by the words at the head of this letter.
But excellent as the plan is, and highly as it redounds to
the credit of its author, the amiable and indefatigable
Earl of Shaftesbury, there are individuals who scruple
to contribute toward the funds of these schools—not
that they object to the nature or object of the plan i.selt,
but to the name it bears. I certainly think that a more
appropriate appellation might be found, and one also
more correct; for the boys, as soon as they are admitted
into the schools, however they might have been pre-
viously clothed in rags, are cleanly and decently clad,
arid afforded the means of becoming industrious and
useful members of society. So far as I can judge from
my own personal experience, they are honest, well-
bt,haved, and deserving; and last, not least, grateful to
their noble benefactor. But my immediate object for
thus trespassing o
n your attention is, to state that lam
acquainted with a charitable and wealthy lady,. who
would readily subscribe to the funds of the schools if the
title of them were changed. lam hardly, at this mo-
ment, prepared myself to suggest any other denomin.a-
tion; but doubtless some of your numerous readers
ll
be able to supply that deficiency. Thinking these hints
may be of some service, I am induced to forward them
to you, for the purpose of giving them publicity through
the medium of your extensively circulated journal.
Since, however, the foregoing was in draft, it has oc-
curred to me that one of the following alterations might
be suitable, viz " The Destitute Boys' Schools," or
" The Destitute Juvenile Schools."—l am, Sir, Bce.,
