QUEEN'S BEN CH.--L(THIS DAY.)
(Situngs at Nisi Prius at Westminster before Air. Justice
ERLE and a Gnemon Jury.)
SEYMOUR V. MADDOX.

This was an aciiun brought by the plaintiff, who was
a chorus singer at the Princess's Theatre, against the
detendanr, the lessee of that theatre, fur an injury sus-
tairnd by him whilst performing there.
Mr. D. Keene was counsel fur the plaintiff, and the
ite=i•ni4ant was represented by Mr. M. Chambers and
Mr. Thowss.

It appears-d that. on the 31st May, 1848, the plaintiff
vva- ruga,td to'sing at the theatre in the play the.
Crown Jewels. The play had proceeded to its conclu-
sion, and the curtain had fahea just af,er a grand
chorus had been sung, when as the plaintiff, who -had
taken part in it, was going from the stage to his dress-
ing-room, he Mt dowel a trap-door which had been let
open, and br.lte his leg. It was for this injury that he
now sought compensation. •
The detente set up was that the plaintiff, in going from
the stage to his dressing-room, went by a way which it
was ag.iinst the regulations of the theatre fur him to go,
nwmeiy, across what was called the Maz4rine floor, ex-
cetdingly dangerou.:4, in that it was occupied with the
scene-shifting machinery, and full of trap-doors.
The case was prbc{-edine whin our report left.

EXCHEQUER.—('PHIS DAY.)
(Mery ►he, LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury at
W t Ammeter.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ROBSON.

This was an information filed by the Attorney
General at the instance of the Board of Inland Revenue,
to recover penalties amounting to 8,232/., for illegally
unshipping a quantity of tobacco ou which duty had
not been paid.
Tae Attorney-General, Sir F. Thesiger, and Mr.
Watson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bram-
% ell cot, ducted the case for the defendant.

The facts of thw case were simply these :—the de-
fendant, William Robson, carried on the business of a
marine store•dtaler at Newcastle, arid he engaged a
Fchooper, named the Good Intent, for the apparent pur-
pose-of conveying a cargo of coals from Newcastle to
Yarmouth; but on arriving a: Yarmouth, instead of
discharging her 'cargo, she crossed over to the coast Of
Holland, w hera a portion of the, coals were thrown over-
board to make room for 7 or 9 tons of tobacco, %bleb it
was intended to ship. The tobacco was placed at the bottom
Of the hold, and was then covered over with_coals.. Ou
arriving it Yarmouth, on her return, the schooner was
visited by a Custom-house officer, but he did not dis-
cover the tobacco, owing to the way in . which it had
been concealed. The tobacco was subsequently taken
from the ship by means of . a wherry at a late hour at
night, and sold to a person at. Norwich for a consider-
able sum.

For the defence it was contended that there Was not
sufficient proof of the defendant having been engaged in
the unTipping to make him 'fable for the penalties.
Clin;a&RON having summed up,
The jury tound a verdict tor the Crown—Damages,:
8,0001.
