TilE OPERA HOUSE.--WATERS 1!. TAYLOR

Mr. HART, in this • cause, moved ti.e Court
upon a point of great hardship against his cliv.nt,
and which his Lordship had in the hist Tcrtn
been pleased to promise an early hearing and re-
lief in thi4 Term. It was the circumstance' of `a
.Bill filed by Messrs. 'Davison and Co. :;!.;-,tinst the
parties in this cause, fortnoaies they had paid
to a Mr. Des Hayes, a choicer on the stage, pttr-
suant to a contract with rthe late Mr. Francis
Goold,•-a proprietor of the theatre, which they
had guaranteed and Hid since the death of Mr.
Goold, to whom Mr. Waters is executor, and be•
came solely liable, independent of Mr. Taylor,
who escaped the effect of the decree, although
possetised of 9-I6ths of the concern,_ while Mr.
Waters had only 7-I 6ths thereof. The necessity
of the present intimation to his Lordship became
,so pressing, that if, some step be not itannediately
taken for the relief of Mr. Waters, he mtist materi-
ally suffer, and the concern be • wholly rnined,-as
the theatre Is just now under advertisement tor
sale, When no:one, in its present cireumstances.
Can be expected to givelor it even one-sixth of
its real value.

His Lordship baring formerly Intimated his in-
tention Of hearing the, present question on the
fir,t day of this Term, induced the Learneti Coun-
sel thus to obtrude so pressing a subject :at so late,
an hour of the day.
The Loon en ANoEt,ton ordered it to be brought
forward on the first conyerient flay in the next
wet k.
