LAW REPORT,

COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 14. -

A Motion was made, on behalf of the Proprietors
of Covent-Garden Theatre, to dissolve the injunc-
tion obtained to prevent their performa❑ce of a
Farce, intituled X. Y. Z. written by Geo. Colman,
Esq. The injunction had been obtained by some of
the Proprietors of the Haymarket Theatre, on the
ground that Mr. Colman was bound by his articles
of partenership, with the other proprietors of the
Haymarket Theatre, he 'being one himself, not to
write for any other Theatre.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that before he
would give his final opinion, he should once more
read, over the deed in his closet, with the most scru-
pulous attention.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, lAN• 14.

SPECIAL JURY.

LESINGHAM V. FRASER AND OTHERS.

This was an a6uion for money bad and received,
brought by the Masterof Sir John Cass's school at
Aldgate, against his Bankers, Messrs. the late Hon.
Simon Fraser, Sir John Pert ing, Bart. and Co. to re-
cover a sum of 821. tos. alleged to have been paid
them on his account, by the plaintiff, and the ap-
pearance of which, as a credit to the plaintiff's ac-
count in the Bankers' books, was attributed by them
to a Mistake.

On the part of the pLintiff was adduced, the.evi-
dence of two boys, of the ages of t 5 and 13,•wh0 in
the year t 810, the time in which the sow in ques-
tion was alleged to have been paid, were the plain-
tiff's scholars, Their names were Payne and Linde;
and Lord Eeeeeecteoncet observed, that the man-
ner in which they gave their evidence was so neetn-
barrassed and straight fortemd, as of itself to lead to
no suspicion that their story was not true. They were
per feat as to their recollection of the 24th of March
having been the day on which they twice went to the
Bankers to pay money for their master. The first
time they paid in 371. the payment of which was al-
lowed by the defendants. The second time they
counted over the sum of 821. los. in the presence
of Mr.. Peacock, a baker, in Bishopsgate-street, who
had. called to pay their master money. It was Linde's
first time of being in a banker's shop, and be took
notice of the quantity of dollare which one of the
cletiis was counting; and observed to his compa-
nion, that the two which composed the- i os. they
had to pay in would make two more. They took
with them their master's pass-book; and the clerk,
whom Payne afterwards singled out from the test,
who was a gentleman of the name of Kent,wrote in
it, and returned it to the boys. Mr. Peacock was re-
sent when the lads returned, and asked the plaintiff
how he could trust them to pay so much money ?
The plaintiff replied, that he,was in the habit of do-
ing so,, and shewed Peacock the entry in the pass-
book, to convince him that he had not unworthily
reposed his confidence in them. Mr. P. confirmed
the testimony of the boys, and added, that he paid
761. to the plaintiff on the 24th, the day in ques-
tion but it did riot appear whether any of this,
moneyf ormed a part of the 8214 es. On the contrary,
some notes indorsed "'Peacock," in his brother's
band-writing, were produced by the defendants', as
forming part of a subsequent payment of 241. is.
made by the plaintiff to them on the 26th following.
Strong in favour of an aelual payment to the de-
fendants by the plaintiff as was this evidence, yet
Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that if from docu-
ments in the defendants' business it could be proved
to be impossible to be true, the Jury would be
compelled to disregard it; and to find their verdi&
for 'the defendants. On their part were called,
Mr. Kent,, and all the clerks implicated, who
swore they never received the sum in question
from the boys, although the fa& of their paying
the first sum of thirty-seven pounds was recolleeted
and admitted ; and it appeared by the pass-book
which Mr. Peacock swore to have seen on the 24th,
that the entry was not made till the 26th, on
which day it was dated; and the defendants' clerks
swore, that the plaintiff's name had been given to
them by their principals, as having °verde-en) his
account, and was written down by them to be
kept in mind. Being thus impressed upon their
memory when a cheque for 821. I es. was on the
26th paid into the account of another customer (Mr.
Shenstone), they by mistake attributed it to the ,
plaintiff; and thus it found its way from their waste
book into the plaintiff's pass-book, and their ledger.
It was proved how Mr. Shenstone had received and
paid the cheque just mentioned ; and the error was
not rectified till Ire found that, it had been omitted
in his account. The same sum could not have been
also paid by the plaintiff, and purloined by any of the
banker's clerks, without he had made three different
thefts; one of the large notes from one dra wer,anOt her
of the small notes from one partition of another
drawer, and a third of the cash from the other par-
tition ; .and it was proved, that there was no error
in the defendants' balance on that day..
Mr. TOPPING, for the plaintiff, rested, his valise
upon the alternative, that if it were not true, the
plaintiff had suborned three persons to perjure them-
selves, two of them ingenious and well educated
boys ; and attributed the defendants' denial of it to
a mistake, of which they were not conscious in the
hurry of business upon 4•Saturday, as the 24th was ;
and that, the Saturday before they moved their
banking business to another shop on the Monday
following. .

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. GARROW, for
he defendants.

The Jury' after retiring for some time, found their
Verdid for the defendants.

A series of experiments have lately been institut-
ed by the Patentee of British Shirting Cloth, which
promise considerable advantages to the Manufac-.
turers of this country. After repeated trials and
variations of process, a method has at length been
discovered of bringing Flax of English growth :o a
degree of- perfection never before attained, and
likely to produce a fabric, equal in finenesrand beau-
tiful appearance, to the most costly French cambric.
This discovery at the present crisis, is of some mo-
ment, as it is calculated to supersede the importation
of an important branch of French manufaetare.•
