VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT.
(Before Sir P. Wood.)
GYE V. GRAZIANI AND SMITH.--THE RIVAL ITALIAN

OPERAS.

Mr. Rolt -this morning, in accordance with the arrange-
ment entered into by both parties at the time the case was
first before the *court, on behalf of Me-Gye• of the Royal
Italian Operas Covent-garden, plaintiff, for an injunction to
restrain the defendant Francisco Graziani frbin violating or
committing any breach of his agreement with the plaintiff,
and that he (Graziani) might be prevented from singing
at any theatre or concert in Great Britain out of tho
Royal Italian Opera,. Covent-garden, and that ho in
particular might be restrained from singing At the Theatre-
Royal, Drury-lane. The learned gentleman, in opening
his case, having cited the agreement entered into between
Mr. Gye and Signor, Graziani, stated his present applica-
tion was a motion to restrain Signor Graziani from ap-
pearing at the • Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, 'of which Mr.
Smith was lessee. From the agreement, it .appeared that
Signor Graziani had catered into an agreement with Mr.
Gye from the 26th of April, 1859, to the 31st July, 1859,
but Graziani was to commence on the 2d of April if Mr.
Gye • wished, and notice was accordingly given to him
(Graziani) to that effect before
.the close of January.
The salary the Signor was to receive • was £320
a month, and he was to sing at all operas and concerts for
Mr. Gye, but no where-else without the written permission
of Mr. Gye, except at 'private or gratis concerts. What
line of defence Could he set up to the resistance of the
motion he could not for a moment imagine, especially as a
similar agreement between Mr. Gye and Signor Graziani
had been acted upon in previous years. Bitt it appeared
that about the same time that these negotiations. were going
on Signor Graziaai entered into a contract with Mr. Smith,
of Drury-lane Theatre, and perhaps a key to his conduct
might be found in the fact that Mr. Smith had offered
him £420 a month instead of £320. The pre.
tence set up by Graziani was that at the close of

1858 Mr. Gye owed him two weeks' salary, and this was his
justification for entering upon an engagement with Mr.
Smith, although meanwhile he had been in communication
with Mr. Gyeas to the manner in which the said engagement
was to be carried out. It clearly appeared that for some
time Graziani had wavered as to the course -he should
adopt, and it would seem that Mr. Smith had
given him an • indemnity against any proceeding
that might be taken against him, and the engage-
ment with Gye was repudiated. The indemnity was
carefully withheld from. the plaintiff, and he •contended
that until that indemnity-was produced that the injunction
must go. The learned counsel then observed that the fore,.
going facts upon which he relied and proceeded to examine
with great minuteness
.and at considerable length tho
dates connected with the whole transaction, and read a
number of documents which set forth that Signor Graziani
frequently wrote to Mr. '(ye and Mr. Harris for. payment
of £l6O, and in one of his letters he (Graziani)
stated that unlesa the money was paid immediately
he should not hold himself engaged, and warning Mr. Gye
,
's not to depend upon him for the forthcomini season,"
This point was the whole upon which the case turned, and
upon which it was sought to justify the engage-
ment entered into with Mr. Smith. The screw 'had
been attempted- to be put on Mr. Gye, as he had
asked Graziani to be kind enough to allow the.payment
of the £l6O to stand over until the commencement of the
next season, but there was no stipulation between the parties
that Graziani's engaged at the Royal Italian. Opera, Covent
Garden, was to be' conditional upon the payment of this
£l6O at any specified time.' The money was paid, however
before the commencement 3f the Covent Garden season.
After Graziani had discovered the position into which' he
had placed himself by the contracts he had been induced to
sign by Harris, he (Graziani) met that gentleman in a cafe
in Paris, and there, after' publicly calling him all sorts of
names, challenged him to fight a duel, but Harris declined
the invitation—(laughter)—andcontented himself by merely
reminding Graziani that he had signed the engagement.
The learned gentleman said he was entitled by law to the
injunction, and concluded by reading the examination•of
Signor Graziani . before. the Master, which set
forth that his signature to the engagement with
Mr. Gye had been. obtained through misrepresentation
by his agent—that he afterwards considered, as the money
owing to him by Gye had
.uot been paid in September,- as
stipulated, the agreement void, and that he was at perfect
liberty to enter into •any new engagement that 'might be
offered. Such being his impression, he signed the engage-
ment to Mr. Smith to sing at Drury-lano Theatre
for the season 1859,: .uponfteceiving an indemnity for the
payment of any expenses that might arise in the event'of
Mr. Gye, of Covent Garden Theatre. commencing anypro-
ceedings at law against hiin for an illegal breach of en-
gagement.
The case will not be concluded to-day. •

The Court of Assixes. of the Orne three days ago
tried a liberated convict for burglary and attempted assassi-
nation, also for arson.• On the night of the 4th Mareh of last
year a gamekeeper at Le Sap went, accompanied by his son,
to take his rounds in-a wood. On reaching a farni4Louse,
situated at the extremity of the wood, they heard' a noise
amongst the trees, and cried out, "Who's there ?" • At the
same moment two guns werotred at them, and by the flash
they saw two men with horses. They returned the fire, and
wounded one of the two men ; the other galloped off. They
captured the wounded •man. •• It was Chapelle. The horse
with him had been taken from the farmer's stable, and near
at hand were three sacks of corn which had been abstracted
from his barn, and which, no doubt; the two' men had in-
tended to carry off. The horse with which the other man
had escaped was also the farmer's. With regard to the
charge of arson, it appeared •that after his arrest Chapelle
was sent to the hospital at Argentan to be treated 'for his
wounds, and whilst there he, setting fire to his mattrass,
partly bunted down the door of his cell, and escaped; He
was, howeV,er, recaptUred. The fire was extinguished ; but
' at one-time the occupants of the hospital, aged and sick
peesons, were in considerable danger. The jury declared
the man guilty of the burglary and arson, but not of the at-
tempted assassination, and said that there were extenuating
circumstances in his favour. The Court condemned him to
20 years' bard labour,
