LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 22.
LE GROS v. EBERS.

This was an action by Mademoiselle be Gros, the dancer,
against Mr. Ebers, to recover the last contract made with her
by the defendant, for the Opera season commencing or the
lOth of December, 1823, and terminating on the 15th August,
1824.

Mr. SCARLETT opened the case in a very few words. Ile
should prove the contract, and the services of the plaintiff, and
entitle himself to a verdict for o'.e sum remaining due. Mr.
Benelli was the subscribing witness to the contract, but he had
left the country; and therefore he should, instead of calling
him, prove his absence, and the genuineness of his signature.
Monsieur Charles Vestris, the dancer, proved the signature
of Mr. Ebers as principal, and of Mr. Benelli as witness to the
contract, which was dated London,' November 26, 1823. It
was also proved that inquiry was made after Mr. Benelli at his
late residence, without effect, and that a letter had been receiv-
ed from him, bearing date at " Rome."
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE held this evidence sufficient to
dispense with the production of the subscribing witness.
Mr. Muller then proved a translation which he had made of
the original contract, which was in French, to be faithful, and
it was thereupon read. The plaintiff, according to its terms,
was engaged as a first dancer for the whole season, to perform
In ali ballets, and to attend rehearsals whenever required. Her
remuneration was to be 1,0001. sterling, to be paid in three
equal instalments. Mr. Ebers was to furnish costume, except
under-dresses, which the lady herself contracted to supply.
M. Boiserard, the second ballet-master, proved that Mlle
Le Gros performed at the Opera during the season, and attend-
ed rehearsals. On cross-examination, he said that Mr. Ebers
did not interfere in the management of the Opera last season,
but he did not know that he had disposed of his interest to Mr.
Benelli, or that Mlle he Gros had made a new contract with
the new manager.
Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, said, that as the other
matters in difference respecting the Opera had at last been ar-
ranged, he had hopes that this action, and two others which
followed it in the paper, had also been settled. There was no
doubt that this lady was entitled to remuneration for her ser--
vices; but it was•hard, under the circumstances of the case,
that the burden should fall on Mr. Ebers. In the autumn of
1823, he parted with his whole interest in the Opera House to
Mr. Bernelli; who untiertook to-fulfil all the engagements en-

PRICE SEVENPENC.E.

teted into previously on account of the theatre.. New engage--
menu... were .made with sonic of the performers, instead of these
which they had formed with Mr, Ebers; and if Mlle. Le Gres
was included in these, the old agreement would be at an end,
and she could not recover in the present action. If, on the .
other hand, she had made no fresh engagement, Mr. Ebers,
who was at length restored to the possession of the. Opera,
must submit to -a v&zdiet. Ile would call Mr. Yallop and Mr..
Chippendale, who were concerned fir Mr. Benelli,' to ask tits
• question. and the result must depend on their answer.
Mr. Roland Wallop was then called; Before he was exa.
mined in chief, he was asked by Mr. Scarlett whether he dirt 7,
not indemnify Mr. Ebers? He replied,-" I did, Sir; but
am released."--(Laughter.)-11e then stated, in answer to the.:
questions of Mr. Dover • that he was. attorney for Mr. Benelli
in 1823. Mr..Benelli Dover,
made a contract with Mr. Ebers, --
and was put into possession of the King's Theatre.. All.the
contracts of the performers were handed over to Mr. Berielli.
He prepared-no new contracts, nor did he personally know that
any were made.
Mr. Chippendale was then called, and stated that Mr.
nelli laid several new contracts before him for signature, anelhe.-
signed them stiii.houtreading,them and had never seen then
since. .They were taken away by. Mr.• Benelli. .
Mr. GUENEY.—On your oath, do you not know whether
Mlle. -Le Gros made a new engagement with Benelli ?
Mr. Chippeaulale.—On my oath Ido not. -Mr. Benelli ear-
tied away every paper, so that I have been unable to ascertain
what it was I signed at his desire.
Mr. GURNEY then submitted to a verdict, which was ac.,
cordingly given for the last instalment-3321. 6s. Bd.

CITIIIONI V. EBERES.
This was an action by Curioni, the Finger, against Mr.
Ebers, under the same circumstances with the last, except. that.
Mr. Chippendale was the subscribing witness to the coattail,
and was called to prove it.
The contract, dated August 3, 1822, stipulated for the set-..,.
vices of the plaintiff as principal tenor for the two ensuing
seasons, at 9001. each season. The balance claimed was 500/.
Mr. GURNEY said, if Mr. Yallop stated this balance to-be
correct, be was satisfied. Mr. Yallop answered in the affix•'
mative.
No struggle was made in this case, after the evidence given',
in the former; but the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff__•.
Damages 500/.

GARCIA V. EBERS.
This was an action by Garcia the singer, against Mr. Ebers
for arrears of salary. The contract, proved by M. Charles
Vestris, the subscribing witness, was for the •paytn6t in the
whole of 1,7601., 560/. for part of the season then current, and
1,200/. for the following season, besides a benefit which Mr.
Ebers guaranteed should produce 300/.
No defence was attempted ; and the jury found a verdict fot
the plaintiff—Damages 5201. l9s.
THE NATIONAL BANK OF ST. CARLOS BERNALES. • -
This action was brought by the National Bank of Madrid,
against their agent in London, to recover a balance due to the
establishment of 20,2041. 6s. ld.
The charter of the Bank, granted by Charles 111., and deno-
minating it " The National Bank of St. Carlos," was read.—
It professed to be for preventing monopolies, and then proceed-,
ed to grant monopolies to the Company. It gave the Directors
power to sue lathe Chamber of Commerce, with right of appeal.
The ATTORNEY .GENERAL—after stating that the de-
fendant did not know to whom to pay the money, as the officers
were in prison, to which it was answered that one of them was
in Court--objected that the Bank could only sue in the Charm.
ber of Commerce, unless by appeal from the decisions of that
body.

The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE over-ruled the objection, and
the Jury, under his direction, found a verdict for the plaintiffs
—Damages 20,2041. Os. hi.

GARItAT V. STANTON.
This action was brought by the present Lord Mayor of Lon-
don against the defendant, who is a partner in the house of
finish, Johnson, and Co., wholesale tea-dealers in this city.—
The declaration charged, that the defendant falsely and de.
ceitfullv recommended a man, named Thomas Taylor, to the
plaintiff, as an honest anti trust-worthy man to be employed.
as a traveller, when he at the same time knew he was wholly
unworthy of trust and confidence.
Mr. ScateETT, in statisig the ease to the Jury, said, that
this action was not brought by the Plaintiff so much with a view
to recover compensation for the injury he had sustained, as to
prevent a practice, which was unfortunately too prevalent, of
giving false characters to dishonest servants, by which they.•
were placed in a situation to commit frauds on their unsuspecta
ing employers. The facts of the present case were briefly these e •
in the month of January, 11121, the plaintiff being in want' of,
a traveller, Taylor offered himself for the situation, and refer-
red for his character to the firm with whom he had lately lived, .
Messrs. Holah, Johnson, and Slanton. Mr. Miller, who was
then the clerk, but has since become the partner of the Alder-
man, accordingly went to the warehouse of these 'gentlemen,
and was there told by the defendant that Taylor was not only
perfectly honest, but a very industrious and indefatigable tra.
yeller. He was in consequence of this character taken into the
plaintiff's employ, and until February in the last year no sus•
picion was entertained of his honesty. On his return, however,
from his last journey at that time, he stated himself unable to
pay over his balance of near 4001., as made out by himself{
an inquiry immediately took place, and it was ascertained
that he had, besides that amount, suppressed the receipt. 6f.
sums which had been paid to him to a large amount, and had
also fraudulently induced his master to give credit to an ineole
vent person to the extent of nearly 1001.; and it was disco..
vered he had commenced his frauds very soon after he entered
the Plaintiff's service. Taylor was consequently taken bat)
custody, prosecuted at the last Gloucester Assizes, and trance
ported. In the course of the inquiries which were instituted
by the Plaintiff after the discovery of Taylor's dishonesty, he
was surprised to learn, that, notwithstanding the character
Taylor received for honesty, lie had embezzled to the extent
of upwards of six hundred pounds, received on account
of the Defendant and his partners, and which was well
known to the defendant at the time, he having written to his
sureties previous to giving the character, demanding payment
of the deficiency; and it appeared, that after Taylor entered
the plaintiff's service lie had actually supplied 3501. towards
paying those deficiencies, which was, no doubt, supplied by
the money he received on account of the plaintiff; and neglectd'
to account for. The statement of Mr. Scarlett was completely
made out by the testimony of numerous witnesses ; and Mr.
Attorney-General addresed the jury on behalf of the de-
-fendant in a very able and animated speech, in which he argued
that it was • the interest of the defendant to have prevented .
Taylor, who was an active traveller, from entering intcathe
plaintiff's service, and therefore could have no inducement for
giving 14m a false character ; that he, the defendant., really
believed Taylor to be an honest man, and was anxious he•
should be retained in the service of himself and partbers, as he
should prove by Mr. Johnson ; and that the deficiency of 6.00/.
had been accumulating durin,, the whole time Taylor was in •
their service, and had not been the result of secret eretbezzle
ment, as had been supposed by the plaintiff.
Mr. Johnson appeared as a witness to prove the statement
of the Attorney-General ; but it appeared that the accounts
were not kept by him, that he was a resident of Congleton, in
Cheshire, and only occasionally came to town, and that pre=,
vious to the character being given to Taylor, it had beet dit-
covered that he had suppressed the receipt of sums amounting
to 1601. and upwards. The witness said the traveller was
allowed to carravon his balances from journey to-journey, and
that having taken bonds to secure them against the dishonesty
of Taylor, they did not look to the accuracy of his accounts;
knowing they had their remedy against the sureties.

THE GREEKS.

( From ea Axttrian Observer of Jan.
ItZTRACTs or REPORTS FROM CORTII AND ZANTS, rr

TO 20TH DECEMBER.
The CalllrligH in Acarnania, -so far as what
-has happened this year can be called a campaign, is now over.
Pacha, who was made incapable of any serious operation
-by his personal quarrels with other Albanian and Epirot Chiefs,
es well as by his extremely equitocal position with respect to
the Porte, had never above 5000, and at the end scarcely 2000
at his command. It was therefore to 'be foreseen that-he
eletild neither do any thing of importance himself in Acarnania
nor. reinforce the-weak army of Dervisch Pacha in
4.headia and Thessaly, and that consequently the Pachalik of
eeeinnina would be abandoned to the Greek marauding parties.
Nevertheless, Maurocordato, whom his party call Governor-
tienaral of Western Greece, though-this title was never for-
'nailer granted him on the other side of the- Peninsula, thought
it neecssery to be on-his guard against Omer's movements and
pe-e:...1e attacks. With this view he formed a camp. with about
S. men, at the end of July, near Ligovitzi, at a convent on an
eminence near to Maehala and Lake Ozeron, two leagues from
it-iv right bank of the Astropotamus. This measure was an-
Pounced in very pompous terms in the journals of Missolonghi.
Decisive operations were to be undertaken from that camp.
Arta, Prevesa, Joannina, were to fall successively in a short
time. Nothing of all this happened. Arta, indeed, was some-
times summoned to surrender; from a distance, but nothing
-teas done beyond empty demonstrations and threatening letters.
Nang°, one of the subaltern commanders of Maurocordato,
plundered and laid waste the unfortunate district of Radovichi,
at the foot of Pindns, chiefly inhabited by Christians. Zonga,
Seat, Bozzari, &c. fell upon other defenceless points, thinking
more of plunder than victory. There was not even a serious
aaion.
Omer Pachahad taken his position at Caravanserai, at a cus-
tein-licuse on the south-east bank of the Lake of Arta. The
e.eoper business of the enemy, therefore, was to force this
mint ; hut this was not to be done by arrogant articles in the
i;;rerk Chronicle, and other operations were not attempted.
Omer Pacha kept his position undisturbed. Nay in the month
et* September, unconcerned about the neighbouring camp at
Vgovitzi, he sent a strong expedition towards Vrachori, in
Liolia, which spread general consternation ; many of the inha-
leitante of the country were taken prisoners, or sustained great
hos in cattle and effects.
. This state of things continued till the commencement of the
bad season. In October, :Maurocordato, harrassed by dissatis-
Ilea:tint' and cares of all kinds, became so seriously ill, that it
wee necessary to convey him to Anatolie°. But before the
comp, he requested from officers commanding under him, some
44 whom had the titles of Generals, a written acknowledgment,
tier which they bound themselves collectively, " not to forsake
their post, on every occasion to do their duty, and to preserve
ettbordieation, on pain, in the contrary case, of being consi-
dered as Anti-Patriots, and of being treated by every body as
eizah."
'From such a document we form some 'inference respecting
sire spirit which must have prevailed among those troops.
At the beginning of November, Omer Pacha voluntarily left
tie camp at Caravanserai, and withdrew for the present to
Arta. He was threatened in his rear by adversaries who did
hen much more injury than the powerless armaments at Lego-
ehei ; and it was certainly not fear of a couple of thousand of
iii-armed Greeks that kept him six months inactive. to
It is strange enough that just about this time, the grandson
ef Ali Pacha (a son of Veli Pacha), and his grandmother-in-
lay, who is so well known for many affecting vicissitudes of
-tertene with several confidants of this once-powerful family,
ae-peare'd at Larissa, and with the intention of going to.Epirus.
It wits generally believed that the object of this journey, -which
-lex, permitted if not favoured by the Porte, was to discover .a
Feet of the hidden treasures of Ali Pacha ; but it is much
wore probable that it was hoped, by their presence, to gain
11;0 eid adherents. and to keep a check- on other factions.
The ;Korea has been • latterly again a theatre of open and
saftguinary discord.
In the month of October the Government at Napoli di Ro-
neteia was renewed. As Members of the Direotory were ap-
pointed, Condurioatti as President, P. Botassi (2) as Vice Pre-
Went. Fotilla, Spiliotacchi, and Coletti; President. of the Se-
F! te, Pan uzzo Z.;oturu, and Vice-President, Vresteno Teonorits.
.:,leurocordato was intended for an important post, and his
1:-;.ends had taken great pains to place him at the head of affairs.
Ile. however, firmly refused, and, at length positively declared,
tliet, he would not, in any case, give up his place at Misso-
Janglii (though he has to contend there with enmities and
-cobalt of all kinds), or, upon any terms, go to Napoli di
1i Visianla.
The way in which the offices were filled seems to have ex-
°;t el from the beginning much discontent. The public jour-
nals of .lieeolonghi and Athens have indulged in sarcastic re-
-marks on the subject. The Greek Chronicle of the 10th Nor.
• ershot so far as loudly to complain, " that, contrary to the ex-
•teress terms of the law, the Executive Council consisted, for the
taint part, of the former Members ; that this clearly proved the
inauence of a party, the preponderance of which could end only
in despotism or anarchy."
Soon after, it was known that, while great measures were an-
.nsunced in all quarters for the closer investment of Patras by sea
and land, the Turks-had made a sally from that fortress, had
apnea terror and desolation for many miles round, had attacked
carps of 401) men commanded by Constantine Bozzaris, and
no where met with any opposition. The Gazette of Hydra (the
-Friend of the Law, of Nov. 17), a Journal under the imme-
eliate influence of the Government, expressed itself on the sub--
ect of this event in very strong terms.—[This passage has
.teen quoted on a former occasion.]—When this article was
written there wet a general insurrection in Arcadia and Elis,
.egainst the Government. The Colocotronis, Delijaui, Sisini,
. Londo, and other Chiefs of the anti-democratic party,
seemed to wait only for an opportunity to commence open hos-
' telities, and this was soon afforded them by a dispute with the
_authorities at Tripolizza. Meantime the Government at Na-
.poli sent against them 2,000 men under Papa Flesso. (3.) -A
.sanguinary action ensued on the road to Tripolizza, in which
Tano Colocotroni (the same who had so long refused to give
.op Napoli to the democrats) was killed, and Staico, the. second
in command, taken prisoner after the enemy had cut off both
hie hands. Infuriated at the death of his faeourite son, the
elder Colocotroni collected his whole force, and marched with a
corps, said to exceed 6,000 men, against Tripolizza. A naval
..oilicer, who arrived at Corfu, report* that he has occupied
that place. (4.)
Only imperfect accounts of the late events at sea have reach-
ed Corfu. It was known that only a part of the Egyptian
-.fleet-had been able to enter the port of Candia • the Greeks,
however, still feared a landing-in the .Morea ; this fear, if not
the internal state of the Peninsula, explains the reason why
the eight Greek vessels that had mete to blockade Patras,
loft that station (as credible accounts state) in the middle of
-.December_
The Florcntivis•Gazett4 of the 4th gives accounts from
of the middle of December, which say that public re-
toitings had taken place at Napoli di Romania, in commemor-
ation of the advantages gained over the Ottoman fleet in the
. sea of Candle, and that transports had arrived in that port, on
. board of which were some Arabs, belonging to the regular
Egyptian army, and provisions. Some of the ships hick had
. been separated from the Turkish fleet were pursued' as far as
. Alexandria, and -the Greek squadron has since returned to
Hydra. Coeduriotti was said to have recovered -from.his ill-
ness, and to have arrived at Napoli di Romania with many
troops-from the islands, and other parts of Greece, to support
the Government, and to check the discontent which had been
.:,frown in some places oa account of the late elections.
(I) Omer Vrione is appointed. Pacha of Salonichi. -If the
Perm can get him out of Albania, it will be a great advantage to it.
. (2) He died soon after of an epidemic prevailing at Napoli,
which is said to have spread to Argos.
(3) It is said the Hydriots and Spezziots, in an address to the
IVloreots, threatened that if they did not submit to the lawful
Government. they would cause the-Turkish troops to land in
, the Mores. We have not seen this proclamation.
