LAW IN TELLIGENCE—Dec. 23.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
SWANBOROUGH V. SOTHERN.

Mr. Sothern, in continuation of his evidence
(which appeared in our first edition on Satur-
day), then went on to describe the severity
of the illness under which he had suffered pre-
Vions to his arrival in Birmingham. He commenced
his engagement at the Dublin Theatre on the 7th
of October instead of the 9th, because Mr. Harris
Wrote to him to come cute night earlier if he could ;
but he wrote to him telling him he was unwell,
but that if possible he would, provided his health
Permitted. He started for Dublin against the
doctor's advice, and on arriving in Ireland he had
to consult Dr. Macnamara, who advised him to
give up work for four or five days.
Examined by Sergeant Ballantine—He did not
give up work, but he fulfilled his engagements in
Dublin. Afterwards he proceeded to Belfast, and
after that he took a little rest. He wished to avoid
the engagement if possible, as he was desirous of
going into a speculation with him.
Sergeant Ballantine—Mr. Swanborough suffered
Very much from the non-fulfilment of your engage-
kent, did he not? _ _

Mr. Sothern—He didn't suffer as much as I did
(Laughter.)

Sergeant Ballantine—You mean in pocket, I
41113 Pose?

Mr. Sothern—Quite so. Mr. Swanborough said
his expenses were £3O or £4O a night, and if there
,*as £4O in the house, my share would be £2O, and
'keould not afford to throw that amount away for
fortnight. (A laugh.) I have played to much
Worse houses than those in Birmingham.
Mr. Andrews, secretary and manager to Mr.
~thern, was called, and detailed the conversation
he had with Mr. Swanborough at Liverpool after
Sothern had stated his inability to fulfil his en-
gagement at Birmingham.
br. Archer said the first week of October Mr.
?,?thern was quite unfit to follow his profession.
41, e forbade him going to Dublin, or acting there on
the 9th October.
Bovill having summed up his evidence, and
qi-r• Sergeant Ballantine replying on the whole case,
The Lord Chief Justice summed up the evidence
04 both sides,
The jury, after an absence of about half an hour,
returned and handed in a verdict for the plaintiff,
"'triages £5O.
,40 The Chief Justice—How many days, gentlemen,
You say Mr. Sothern was in a condition to act ?
iThe Foreman—There was some difference of opi-
to4 amongst us as to that, my lord, and it led to a
o
A4l,Premise with respect to the amount of damages.
James obtained a stay of execution until
0: 4 term with a view to move the Court as his
blight be advised.
