Lord Chief• Justice Jervis, in delivering judgment,
said that it was not necessary to give any opinion as t,
what might or what might not be the liability of a bud
corporate who, after receiving a distinct notice, did ar
act likely to injure another person. Sufficient bad' not

been stated on the face of the declaration to show that
the plaintiff had established himself as a banker to have
a right to complain of any injury. All that appeared via,-
that the plaintiff was the promoter of a bank to be called
the Bank of London, in doing which he incurred certait
expenses in circulating prospectuses, &c., and that some
body else had beaten bins in the race of competition, and
had succeeded in establishing a bank under the name of
the Bank of London. It did not appear that the plaintiff
had ever carried on business as a banker—that he bad
a single customer—or that any single person had gone to
him for banking purposes. His lordship said he did not
consider there was sufficient on the face of the declara-
, tion to show the plaintiff had suffered any injury, and be
was opinion that an action would not lie.
Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Crowder, and Mr.
Justice Wines concurred in the judgment of the Lord
Chief Justice.
x d The demurrer was affirmed.

SADLEh'S-WEELS THEATRE.

Last night Mr. and Mrs. Uttarles Dillon made their
first appearance in London at this theatre. The drama
chosen for the occasion, "Belphegor the Mountebank,
or the Pride of Birth," affords ample scope for the de.
velapment of the powers of an actor anxious to elicit
the opinion of a London audience as to his abilities ;
and the fame that Mr. C. Dillon has acquired in thi
provinces prepared us, in a great measure, to expect
something worthy of being called acting, in whim
expectation we were not disa,.pointed. The cha-
racter of Belphegor, as most of our reader
are aware, requires more than ordinary talent.
in order to fully develope the part drawn by tht-
great French dramatist, and few English actors win
have essayed the part have produced more than a toler-
able performance. The Belphegor of Mr. C. Dillon is
rea,ly a masterly piece of acting, and the treinenduu.
applause bestowed on it last night was well and richlN
deserved. Nothing could possibly be finer than th.
acting of this gentleman, iu the second act, where the
poor mountebank, heartbroken by the desertion of his
wife, is invited to amuse the lordling at the al fresco
fete, given by the son of the Dec de Montbrison, a*, hi
chateau near Bordeaux. It was, in a, e word, the effor
of a consummate artiste. In the earlier portions of thi
drama Mr. Dillon was evidently suffering from nervou—
ness, but as the applause increased, so he seemed to re-
cover himself, aid the result was a decided and triuo-
pliant success—such success, indeed, as he may wee
be proud of. We shall not attempt minutely to descrih.
the whole performance, suffice it to say, tha,, taken as a
whole, it was perfect. The part of Madeline was ver)
beautifully played by Mrs. Dillon ; Mr. Rogers acquitter
himself very creditably as Fanfaronade, and little Mis,
Edouin sustained the part of the juggler's son, Henri
with very great abi.ity. The rest of the actors were
scarcely up to the m irk. At the conclusion of the
play Mr. and Mrs. C. Dillon were loudly called for, as,
on their appearance they were most enthusiastically re-
ceived by a very crowded house.
