COURT OF REQUESTS.

KIN GS GATE-STREET.
Mr. George Almar, the proprietor of Sadler's Wells
Theatre, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. Charles
Cullen, one of the buskinites of that establishment, whot.
presented himself before the Court in the attitude °
Othello, delivering his account of himself to the Venetian
Senate. Having " sawed the air" several times with
dexter hand, he proceeded, as he said, to " deliver a round
unvarnished tale" of his " whole course" of dealing Withl
defendant. He had been engaged by him to fret sever('
weary hours per night upon the stage in third-rate charac-
ters, for which he was to receive one pound fifteen shillings
a week ; there had been no letters of agreement between
them, but he relied upon " The Point of Honour" defend'
ant's verbal promise of an engagement for two seasons
in-
volved ; hence, hdwever, arose " The Devil to Pay," f°r'
having been once absent from rehearsal, and having been'
during the same week, accused of being too familiar
with " that good familiar creature, wine," he was in con'
sequence fined three shillings and sixpence, which was
stopped from him when " The Rent Day" arrived. KB
had then entered Upon
.the first night of a new weer
and refused to play unless he had " A Rowland for 1115
Oliver" in the shape of his full pay, considering that at the
tender lamb that never nipped the grass was not more
nocent" than he of the charges alleged against him.
manager, having considered " How to Get Off" the horn:
of this dilemma, promised to pay him the shilling stoPPell
for absence from the rehearsal, but at the close of the
night declared that he should " never' more be officer °`r
his," and he consequently got the " Turn-out," and " tovr
in the winter of his discontent" summoned Mr. Almar for
the salary of the week he had commenced, and the half-
crown fine which had been stopped for having put 09
enemy into his mouth to steal away his brains."
Mr. Almar insisted that he had the right to impose those
fines as he pleased, but acknowledged that the two instance''
*f irregularity recited were the only ones of which eon'
plainant could be accused.

_ .
The COMMISSIONER considered that, if experience will
a test, "a cup of sack" had often added to the theatt3eo
energies of many of the brightest ornaments of the stage'
and there were many players whom he would be glad c°,
retain though they should drink "potations pottle deep
every night.

Mr. (Julien then proceeded to enlarge upon the profes'
sional services be had rendered defendant. Although
scarcely a two-pounder per week, he had often performed,
the parts of four-pounders ; and on one occasion be had
resigned an excellent part in order to impersonate a Gene"
raCbecause he was the only military-looking person in the
company ; nay, he was at ail times willing to drill proeer
sions, lead armies, agitate mobs, or do anything to make
the play the thing," and his reward was likely to be 1
being left to his " Ways and Means."
The COURT, having consulted, made an order in favour
of the complainant, who asserted thatothe Commissioner
was " a Daniel, a second Daniel," and declared that 11°
'would have the due and forftit of his bopd" for the
gagement for the season, and would summon Mr. A.lnt
weekly for his salary, unless he reinstated him, although
would rather prefer the compromise than see " The Manage"
in Distress."

RF:MARKA*LE CIRCUMSTANCE.—It Will be is
the recollection of our readers, that, some months ago, nctit
was taken, of the loss of the Marion, of Montrose, from Arch
angel, angel, with all on board, as no trace whatever of ship or ca,rb-
was discovered. One morning last week, one of the boys ""k
longing to that vessel presented himself to his horror-strut
e
mother, as she sat solitary in mourning weeds lamenting tu,,
"
untimely fate of her child. The cause of his " revisiting °-
glimpses of the moon" for a little longer was speedily el-
.plained. When the vessel was loading at Archangel, hell%
pened to quarrel with one of his shipmates, when he vitt
the Marion under night for the interior, where he roved alOi'e
for some weeks ; but coming to the sea-side, in time for oslect
of the latest vessels leaving for Montrose, the master reeeiVbe
him on board, and landed him safely on the Angus shore. „,
above is paralleled by one of the men of the sloop Hunter,
Montrose, lost during the late storm in Dunbarßay, with be
on board. He, it appears, left the ship at London, wherei9
wandered about until the fate of his former bark reached i.
ears, when he thought of coming home to relieve the aPPr
hensions of his friends.—Montrose Review.
