The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages, £65.
KINGSBURY V. GRAHAM-THE TRAINING OF MISS
1 li ST. CASSE.
fie plaintiff is a professor of singing and an in •
structor of young ladies who are about to appear
o tage, and he had acted in that capacity in
a‘ ce to Miss Clara St. Casse. He now claimed
‘• • •
itti°
of money said to be due in reference to that
t saction.
4Ar. Honyman and . Mr. Murphy appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Vaughan Williams for the
Indant.
a the 12th of September, 1857, an agreement
entered into by which it was arranged that
plaintiff should instruct Miss St. Casse for four
years in music and singing, and that when she was
sufficiently advanced he should make engagements
for her and receive half her salary. The prethium
paid was £4O. In June, 1858, the defendant was
introduced to the plaintiff, and afterwards lodged
and boarded in the plaintiff's house. The plaintiff
in the course of his instruction took the Lyceum fo

one night, and brought Miss St. Casse out there.
Ono item of claim against the defendant was for
£5 9s. for tickets for this concert, another was £2
Bs. sd. for travelling expenses for some performers
m reference to a theatrical performance at Ports-
mouth. There was also £l7 14s. for board and
lodging, and the balance of the whole account was
agreed at £l2 19s. 50. On the 30th of Ju1y,1859,
the plaintiff made an engagement for Miss St.
Casse at the St. James's Theatre, the salary to com-
mence at £6 a week. On the Ist of October fol-
lowing the defendant and Miss St. Casse presented
themselves to Mr. Kingsbury, and informed him
that they were man and wife. Subsequently the
defendant declined to pay half the salary which had
been earned by:his wife to the plaintiff, and £9 was
now claimed on account of the three weeks' salary.
This, with, £l2 19s. 5241., made the total claim £23
16s. kid. The plaintiff had originally pressed his
claim in the Westminster County Court, but the"
defendant had removed it by certiorari into the
superior court, upon the ground that important
questions of law were involved in the dispute.
On the part of the defendant it was stated that
the important question in the cause was whether
the deed of June, 1858, was binding upon Miss St.
Casse and her husband: and it was submitted that
the deed was wholly invalid. That document said
that Mr. Kingsbury should receive the salary, and
should pay half of it to Miss St. Casse's father; and
this, it was contended, was not a stipulation for
the benefit of Miss St. Casse, and would not bind
her, sh 2. being an infant when she signed the deed.
Further, Miss St. Casse had not bound herself to
serve the plaintiff.
Mr. -Justice Willes said he could not conceive
how the deed could not be binding upon the par-
ties to this action.

It was further stated that the Portsmouth specu-
lation was a joint affair between the plaintiff and
the defendant, and that there were some items in

connection with it that the defendant was entitled

:o set off against the plaintiff's claim.
The defendant was called in support of his case.

Mr. Justice Willes said he did not know whether
the plaintiff wanted to keep this deed in terrorem
over Mrs. Graham's head • but he thought that the
end should be that the plaintiff should recover all
his claim except the £9, and should give up the
deed. He thought that this would be a handsome
and creditable course for the plaintiff to pursue.
Some discussion took place, which resulted in his
lordship's suggestion being adopted.
Mr. Justice Wiles said he thought that Mr.
Kingsbury had behaved in a very handsome man-
ner, and he should certify for costs.
Verdict for the plaintiff, by consent, for £l2
9s. 50.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 28.

SOUTHWARK.—DEFRAUDING THE EXCISE—.
A WHOLESALE ILLICIT STILL—Two middle-aged
men, named Charles Wilson and Thomas Cuttress,
were brought before Mr. Corobe, charged with
working an illicit still.
Mr. Millett, an active officer of the Inland Re-
venue, said he went with some constables to No.

10, America-street, Southwark-bridge-road, and
having gained possession of the house, he found a
large still in full operation. There were 10 barrels
full of molasses, mash, and about six gallons of
spirits. The still was capable of working off 30 or
40 gallons.
Mr. Wm. Moore, an inspector of the M division,
said he went with the last witness to the house in
question, and seized the still. They had a difficult
task, as the house was blockaded.

Sergeatt Garden, the acting inspector at the
Stonesend police•station, said he accompanied Mr.
Moore and captured the prisoners. The still was
regularly built up, and had been carried on for
some time.

The prisoners said that they were hired by another
party to work the still.
They were sentenced, however, to pay a fine :of
£3O, or three months' imprisonment.
They were locked up in oletault.

WANDSWORTH.—IMPORTANT TOWATERMEN.
Mr. Day man gave a decision in a case of some im-
portance to the watermen of the river Thames.
Thomas Doyck was summoned by Alex. Phelps,
a watermaa, for navigating a barge, he not being
a freeman, Sze. The question turned upon whether
the Western barges are exempt under the new act.
It appeared that, under the old act of Parliament,
all barges which traded above Kingston, and what
were called Western barges, were privileged from
employing licensed watermen, and it was contended
that the new act did not interfere with those privi-
leges or licences:
On the part of the Watermen's Company it was
argued. that the act had extended the jurisdiction,
and the Western barges were now bound to em-
ploy licensed men.
Mr. Dayinau decided in favour of the complain•
ant, and fined the defendant a nominal penalty of
6d. with 7s. costs.
it was agreed that a case should be submitted to
the Court a Queen's Bench, for the decision of the
judges on the question.

Wo are requested to state that the ceremony of
laying the foundation stone of the Crimean memo-
rial at Chatham, which was to have taken place to-
day, has been postponed. The Duke of Cambridge
has accepted the invitation to lay the stone, but the
day on which the ceremony will take place has not
been definitively fixed. The whole of the officers of
the Royal Engineers now serving in Great Britain
and Ireland will have invitations forwarded them
to be present at the ceremony, which will probably
take place on the Ist of March.
THIS UNLUCKY NATIONAL GALLIERY.—From its
first conception to the present time, no building has ever
been a more lively subject for public criticism than this
unlucky National Gallery. Foil'. Mr. Wilkins, the archi-
tect, was sorely perplexed with conditions. The building
was not to intercept the view of St. Martin's portico ; it
must not infringe on the bLrrack space in the rear; the
public must have one right of way through it, and the
Guards another; the old columns of Carlton House were
to be used up ; and true faith in architecture insisted on
having porticos, dome, and cupolas ' - moreover, the build-
ing, by no means too large for a National Gallery, was to
be shared with the Royal Academy. With such instruc-
tions Mr. Wilkins prepared his plans and estimates. The
building was to cost £50,000, but no architect is to bebound
by his estimate ; and, judging from late instances, the
public got well out of this job in having to pay only
£76,867. The structure was scarcely occupied before it
was discovered to be much too small. The National Gal-
lery had no space to display its additional purchases and
bequests, and the Royal Acathimy found itself obliged to
close its schools of art whenever its annual exhibition was
open. For these inconveniences Parliaments and Govern-
ments have been for nearly twenty years trying to find a
remedy.—Cortihill Magazine for March.

[ADVERTISE3IENT.]—Notice.—In consequence of Messrs.
Lawes and Morton having just commenced 1860 with opposi-
tion similar to that which they previously advanced, and wish-
ing to do those gentlemen every justice, Mr. Thorley is induced
to enlarge his coming pamphlet, making it 64 pages instead
of 32- showing beyond doubt that their observations on the
so-called "Concentrated Cattle Food," and so-called "feeding
statistics," are without foundation; that the itothamsted
experiment was not made with his food, and consequently
that this complete failure must eitherbe through
ment or from buying the Condiment at the wrong shop. iue
first impression of One Hundred Thousand Copies will be
ready about the first day of March, and may be had post free
on receipt of Three Stamps, on application to Joseph Thorley,
the Inventor and sole Proprietor of " Thorley's Food for
Cattle," 77, Newgate-street, London ; 21, Broadway, New
