LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COUla OF COMMON PLEAS, June?.
BATTY V. MELILLO.

The plaintiff in this case is the proprietor of Astley's
Amphitheatre, and on the 17th of July, 1848, eutered
into nu agreement for the deiendant and his wife to ap-
pear for ibree mouths " as equestrians on .the stage and
in the ring at Astley's Amphitheatre and elsewhere," et a
joint salary of Si. per week, and subject to a penalty of 50/.
upon breach of any of the articles of the agreement. The
defendant performed for some time in London and was
then required. by the plaintiff to go to an establishment
of the plaintiff's at Peebles, in Scotland, and to perform
there, and received. a written notice to that effect,
but the defendant refused to go ; and upon the plain-
tiff reusing to employ him any more in London brought
an action in the County Court for a week's eatery,
but was nonsuited, on the ground that as he bad re-
fused to perform at the plaintiff's establishment at Pee-
bles he had broken his engagement. The plaintiff, to
avoid further litigation in respect of claims of salary,
then commenced the present action. To the declaration
setting out the above agreement, and claiming the
penalty of 501. as due under it, the defendant demurred,
on the grounds that the declaration did net allege with
sufficient certainty that the 'performances which the
plaintiff had required the defendant to take part in at
Peebles were equestrian performances, or whether on
the stage or in the ring; or that the defendant had been
required to perform within the three months; or that a
reasonable time had elapsed after giving the notice for
the defendant and his wife to join the establishment at
Peebles; or any promise by the defendant for himself
and wife to join an establishment of the plaintiff. The
plaintiff thereupon joined in the demurrer, and contended
that them matters were all alleged with sufficiency in the
declaration.
The case was argued by Mr. Preptice, for the plaintiff;
and by 'Mr. ror the defendant.
Thd Court took time to consider its judgment.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
;Sittings in Banco before Lord CAMPBELL, and Justice
PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.)
DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. HARDIER.

This was a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause
why the verdict obtained by him at the sittings after last
Trinity term for the 500/. damages for libels which ap-
peared in the Weekly Dispatch newspapers in the years
1830, 1847, and 1848 should not be set aside. The de-
fendant pleaded the statute of limitations to the libel of
1830, viz., that the same had not been published within
six years, and that the publications of 1847 and
1848 were not libellous. At the trial the plain-

tiff' produced a witness who described himself as
Captain Charles Casimir Rheinhold, and who swore
that shortly before the commencement of the action in
March, 1848, he had purchased, at the Dispatch office, a
newspaper of the 19th September, 1830, containing the
libel in question to which, the defendant had pleaded the
statute of limitations. Upon this evidence the jury re-
turned a general verdict for the plaintiff in respect of all
the libels with 5001. damages. In the following
term the defendant applied for and obtained a rule
nisi to set aside the verdict upon affidavits of two of the
defendants' clerks that they had the sole charge of the
old numbers of the newspapers, that they hart a list
thereof, and that there had not been at the Dispatch
office for many years any copy of the newspaper of Sept.
19, 1830, and upon affidavits of other persons stating that
the newspaper of that date which had been produced
at the trial, as the one purchased by Itheinhold, had been
bought of a private gentleman, by a newtvender em-
ployed to do so by Mr.• Oddie, the secretary of the
Duke of Brunswick, and for which 51. had been raid.
Tha Duke of Brunswick now showed cause in person
against the rule, and produced many affidavits in opposi-
tion.

Sir Frederick Thesiger and Mr. Martin appeared to
support the rule, but
The CounT, without calling on the Learned Counsel
for the defendant, stated that the matters of the affidavits
must be decided by a jury, and that the rule must be
made absolute, and the costs to abide the event.
Rule absolute.
