COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
CALCOTT V. SULLIVAN.- THE MANAGER AND SCENE

PAINTER.

Mr. Ilawkins, Q.C., moved this morning for a
rule to show cause why the verdict given for the
plaintiff in this case with £lOO damages might not be
set aside. The causewas originally tried at Croydon,
and was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, the well-
known scene painter, who was engaged by the de-
fendant for the New Holborn Theatre. The plain-
tiff was to paint all the scenes required, but
the defendant asserted that the plaintiff
neglected his duty, -and therefore he sum-
marily dismissed him, and the action was
brought for the recovery of salary in lieu of notice.
At the trial it was al:eged that the scenes provided
by the plaintiff for the " School for Scandal" were
in a very important part of the play quite absurd'
and the defendant told him so, whereupon a quarre
ensued, which ended in the defendant dismissing the
plaintiff. The plaintiff brought his action for wrong-
ful dismissal, and the jury gave him £lOO damages,
and this verdict, Mr. Hawkins said, was returned
against the weight of evidence produced at the trial
and also by reason of misdirection on the part of the
Lord Chief Baron, before whom the trial took place
at Croydon.
The Court granted a rule nisi.

FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND.

CORK, Monday.

A man named Daniel Callaghan was murdered
in Cork last night. He was seen with three other
men. Shots were heard, and the three men ran
away, Callaghan's body being found with two bullet
holes through the head. It is believed that all of
them were Fenians, and that Callaghan gave the
Brotherhood some cause of offence.
