guments were concluded on Saturday. The bill was

from the ses, at Lough Swilly, in the north of Ireland.
A reference was directed to th• Master to inquire whe-
ther the vendors had a good title under the Act of Ifar•
liament which authorissd the undertaking. The Master
held that there was not a good title, and the Vice-Chan-

that there was a good title to the lands that had been
drained, and directed the tarty to be put in possessiori of
them, but ordered a further rtfcrence to the Master in
other respects.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Jus-

HOSICINS V. MADDOX.
This was an action brought by Mr. William Hoskins,
the husband of Mrs. Hoskins, brmerly known as Miss
Harland before her marriage, an actress at the Princess's
Theatre, to recover a certain amount of salary alleged to
be due to his wife from Mr. Maddox, the lessee of the
theatre, for theatrical services under an agreement made
between the parties.
Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Macaulay were counsel for the
plaintiff; and the defendant was represented by Mr.
Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Wiimere.
It appeared that in September, 1848, an agreement
was made between the plaintiff and the defendant, undcr
which the plaintiff's wife, by her name of Miss Harland,
was engaged "as prima donna to play in all musical
pieces, not being burlesque," from the autumn of 1848
during the then forthcoming season ending in May 1849,
at a salary of five guineas a week. To the plaintiff's
wife-the def ndant assigned the part of Wilhelminn in
The Waterman, which she played for some time, when
the defendant thought fit to take that part feom her and
to assign it to Misa Emma Stanley. A breach, there-
fore, took place between the plaintiff and the defendant,
the plaintiff's wife refusing to play at the theatre in cer-
tain parts which Mr. Maddox wished her to take. The
present action was brought to recover six weeks of un-
paid salary, at 5/. a week.
Miss Emma Stanley was called for the plaintiff. She
said—l was engaged last year et the Princess's Theatre.
Mrs. Hoskins was also engaged at the theatre. I know
the musical farce of The Waterman, of which Wilhel-
mina iethe principal
Fart. I have performed that part
myself. Miss Harland, the plaintiff's wife, took the part
of Wilhelmina, When she became the prima donna at the
theatre. After Miss Harland had played for some time
in that part last season, it was taken from her, and as-
signed to me. Mr. Maddox is the proprietor of the
theatre. I remember on one occasion, in April, being
asked to give up the part. When a part is taken trove
a performer, and he is afterwards asked to take it again.
it is usual to give him notice of his being reinstated.
On the 17th April I saw Miss Harland advertised to
play Wilhelmina in the bills of the day; and I was to
perform at the theatre that evening in an after-piece.
I was requested by the defendant to be at the theatre
early, but I was not told for what purpose. I was there
previous to The Waterman beginning to be played. I
saw Miss Harland there, dressed to play the part of
Wilhelmina. I was afterwards requested by Mr. Mad-
dox to perform the part. In consequence of the singing
being taken out of the part Miss Harland had refused
to play the part, and Mr. Maddox asked me to play the
part at the last moment.
(Shown the agreement be-
tween the parties.) That is signed by the plaintiff and
the defendant. It was not a part which a prima donna
ought to play, when the music is cut our. I performed
this part with the music, whan I was asked by Mr. Mad-
dox to play in it.
Cross-examined—I sang one song in the part; but I
once played it at the theatre for Mr. Templeton's bene-
fit, introducing the original song. On the night in ques-
tion, when I played it for Mr. Maddox, I sang the (mg.
4, I'll be no submissive wife"—(Laughter)—which was
originally written for a farce for Madame Vestris.
believe Miss Harland is now playing at the Grecian Se_
loon. On the night in question, I had a very long and
hiborious part in another piece besides The Waterman.
I don't know what is to be played on a particular day
except by the bills of the day.'
Re-examined—lt is always the etiquette of the
theatres that v.hen once a part is taken from an acior
and afterwards restored ti hini, that he has notice of the
fact.

Mr. Jsmes Fenton—ln 1849 I was prompter at the
Princess's. I remember whoa Miss Harland's name
was put in the bills to play the part (f Wilhelmina.
There was no novice sent to Miss flatland that t•tle was
to be advertised for Wilhelmins. On the lith of April
(the night in question) I received a letter from Miss
Harland, about hair an hour before the tht atre opened,
which I gave to Mr. Maddox. Miss Harland, I was
ir-
formed, came to the theatre that evening dressed for
the part of Wilhelmina. I saw Mr- Maddox at
the theatre that evening. Miss -Harland did not
rerfmn in the part, and I entered the fact in a book,
called the time-book. The entry was as follows:
"Miss Julia refused to go on in The Waterman unless
she sang, and left the theatre." I never knew the part
of Wilhelmina played without music, and I have known
the piece for the last forty years.
Cross-examined—Unfortunately, I was born in the
theatrical profession. The prima donna is the lady who
plays the first part in the grand opera. Any prima donna
could not be called on as a matter of right to play the
