ACTION BY AN ACTRESS FOP. THE Loss OF HER
WARDROBE.—At the Stoke-on-Trent County Court
on Wednesday the North Staffordshire Railway Company
wore sued by
Miss Eliza Clayton, au actress, for £lO da-
mages, sustained by the loss of her wardrobe when in
charge of the company. On the 21st October last Miss
Clayton, who had been playing an engagement at the
Twister' Theatre, left Burslem for Liverpool, where she
was under an engagement for 14 nights. She had with
her three packages, containing the wardrobe required for
the characters, and which were proved to have been dis-
tinctly addressed. When Miss Clayton arrived at Crewe,
where she changed trains, she found her luggage was
gone, and it appeared that it had been put in the Man-
chester part of the train, which had been divided at Hare-
castle, and her packages had been sent on to Manchester.
She was obliged to throw up her engagement in conse-
quence of taking a severe cold on the day of her arrival iu
Liverpool, where she was running all day between tie
railway station and the theatre in search of her luggage.
The value of the purchased costumes was £8 10s., and the
balance of the £lO claimed was made up of personal ex-
penses. She further risked an action for breach of con-
tract in giving up her engagement. Her lost luggage
came to her on the 22d October, when it was too late to
be of use for her Liverpool engagement. At the sugges-
tion of the judge, it was agreed to take a verdict for the
plaintiff for .£5.
