ACCIDENT AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—'Mr.
Russell, the stage-manager, states that the paragraph some
of our Contemporaries gave relative to the accident that
occurred on Thursday evening to Messrs. Williams and
Gilbert "is incorrect. The fact is, that a slight accident
occurred unattended with any material injury, and the per-
formance of the Ballet will be forthwith resumed."
Yesterday the police received information of the
following daring highway robbery :—On the evening of the
15th inst., as Mr. W. Simmons, of Bourn Mall, near Fern-
ham, was proceeding on foot along the road home, he was
stopped within half a mile of Farnham by four men, who
plundered him of a valuable silver hunting watch, together
with a gold chain, seal, and koy, with which they got clear
off. A reward has been offered for their apprehension,
An inquest was held last night on the body of the boy
Wildman, said to have been stabbed a few mornings since
by one of the miserable outcasts belonging to what wasonce
called th 9 Bo* 4uxiiiary Legion. 'The jury after hear-
ing a. vast mass of evidence, requested the coroner to ad,
journ the inquiry, and it was adjourned until Tuesday next.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

TAYLOR V. SALMON.-JUDGMENT

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning
in this case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, decreeing the
specific performance of a contract. Mr. Taylor, the
plaintiff, as the agent of Lord Dunnally, entered into a con-
tract with the defendant, Salmon, who acted as the agent
of a mining company, for the working of certain slate and
lead mines in the county of Tipperary ; circumstances oc-
curred, which induced the defendant to refuse to perform
the contract, and the bill was filed to compel him to do so.
Upon the case coming before the Vice-Chancellor, he de-
creed the specific performance, and against that judgment
the present appeal was brotuht. His Lordship thought the
decision below correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
