SOYER, CLOWN, and BAND in COURT.
DEAN v. SOYER.—The plaintiff in this action sought,
in the Brompton County Court, to recover 151. for the
hire of a band of musicians on the opening-day of the
Great Exhibition, the Ist of May. The King of Cuisines
demurred to the charge as being exorbitant, inasmuch as
Mr. Grattan Cooke, the leader of the 2d Life Guards'
band, had furnished the Symposium with celestial
trumpeters at the rate of 51. per fete. Mr. Flexmore,
the ballet master and celebrated clown and monkey, of
the Princess's Theatre, was called to prove the engage-
ment, when it appeared his agile faculties had got him
into difficulties ; for, to amuse the Emperor of Gore
House and his suite, Mr. Flexmore bounded over an
eight feet wall into a laundry. His apparition so scared
the wash-tubs that the cries of " Murder" and " Thieves"
brought the "bobbies" before ho could bound back
again, and Police-constable 85 introduced Mr. Flexmore
to the Judge amidst a round of merriment. He deposed
to being a friend of M. Soyer's, who intrusted him to
engage a band for the opening of the Symposium. He
accordingly engaged Mr. Dean, who had the first
orchestra in London, and that gentleman attended at
defendant's place on the )st of May, and played from
eleven to six. M. Soyer afterwards said that he was
glad he sons the hand, and was delighted with their
performance. From what he knew of the customary
charge for orchestral fetes, he should say that one
guinea per musician was but fair, and that Mr. Grattan
Cooke, by charging 51, for ton performers at a fete, was
doing an injustice to himself, his profession, and M.
Soyer Mr. Sutton, and ether members of the band,
deposed to their playing, and to the terms being very rea-
sonable, M. Soyer said ho resisted the demand, first, from
nun-liability; and, secondly, from exorbitance. It was
true, Mr. Flexmore spoke to him about the band, but he
thought Mr. Flexmore must have laboured under a mis-

take-whon be stated that which ho had. He was pestered
with applications from orchestral leaders, and he be-
lieved, tt t the time he gave Mr. Flexmore permission to
send some wind—(Lam.Thter)—that it was done to coax
him, by their strainr, to give them a permanent engage-
ment. Ho, however, had engaged another band, and
who, upon finding the band of Mr. Dean upon the
grounds, at once became jealous, and refused to blow a
reed or whack a drum.—(Loud laughter.) His company
did not come until the Exhibition closed, when, to his
dismay? Mr. Dean refused to play another " God save
the Queen," alleging that it was not for want of loyalty,
but for want of wind.—(Roars.) He was thus left for the
evening without musio, save some hurdy-gurdies the
!list boys brought in.—(Shouts.) Mr. Donoghue, super-
intendent to tho Symposium, deposed to the refusal of
the plaintiff to perform after six o'clock, and said that
Grattan Cooke's band performed twice the time for
half the amount.

His Honour said, that if Mr. Grattan Cooke chose to
play for nothing, he could do so—with that the plaintiff
could have no concern. He thought the justice of the
case would be met by giving a verdict for 104 and costs.
