LAW INTELLIGENCE—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-
lim's 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 one 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
uublin. 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
fiery 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
suppose ?

Mr. Sothern—Quite so. Mr. Swanborough said
'lig expenses were £3O or £4O a night, and if there
;!as £4O in the house, my share would be £2O, and
could not afford to throw that amount away for
a fortnight. (A laugh.) I have played to much
Worse houses than those in Birmingham.
..Andrews, secretary and manager to Mr.
Sothern,t was called, and detailed the conversation
,12 had with Mr. Swanborough at Liverpool after
Sothern had stated his inability to fulfil his en-
gagement at Birmingham.
Dr. Archer said the first week of October Mr.
v,
I,,Othern was quite unfit to follow his profession.
forbade him going to Dublin, or acting there on
ge 9th October.
Mr. Bovill having summed up his evidence, and
tr. Sergeant Ballantine replying on the whole case,
The Lord Chief Justice summed up the evidence
°II both sides,
The jury, after an absence of about half an hour,
returned and handed in a verdict for the plaintiff,
leages A5O.
0.
°The Chief Justice—How many days, gentlemen,
,You say Mr. Sothern was in a condition to act ?
ai The Foreman—There was some difference of opi-
o". amongst us as to that, my lord, and it led to a
Aalpromise with respect to the amount of damages.
tie ir• 11. James obtained a stay of execution until
eli' tem with a view to move the Court as his
eat raight be advised.

'4IE CONVICT SOUTHEY.—Since the prisoner was
It
l committed for trial he has been supplied with
ss
than twelve quires of foolscap paper, the whole of
le e,„11 he filled with close writing. Before he parted with
the governor of the gaol, he requested him to
;,,.elpt of his full-length photograph, on the back of which
hid written the following:— "Memento : Mercy was my
of e.
"'OP for the fallen, the poor unfortunate outcasts
the gland, was the latest wish of my life. My death and
he„,e4tll of those I love, are a rrotest against man's .
to his fellow-men.—E. W. Southey, nee Stephen
of kw"' 1•9
According to the usual practice in the county
etts,
e eilth the execution will take place on the third market
.11 after the trial, which will fall upon the 11th of
