TilIS KOlO V. CROSS AND OTHERS.

These defendants were brought n for juilgment

quire two sureties in £250 each, for the abatement of
the nuisance ; and gave them time to procure such
security.

COURT OF COMMON MAY 31.
LUNI) V. HUMPH Rms.

This was an action brought by Mr. Lund, a comic
performer at Sadler's Wells, to recover £135, as a
compensation for a loss sustained by the defendant's
breach of agreement. The defendant, who is Manager
of the Greenwich-Theatre, entered into a written
agreement to engage Mr. Lund in December List, to
perform ten nights. He was to share with the de: .
fendant the receipts of the Theatre every night during
nine nights, after deducting AI for the expenses.—
The tenth night be was to divide the money, after
Ad% and to have a benefit in the course of the term of
his engagement. At the time appointed he went to
yerform, and vas surpiised to find the defendant de-
clined his services. He then commenced his action,
and the defendant agreed to pav ae2o to settle the
business. He accordingly paid BID, and failing to
pay the remainder, the action went en.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the defendant, stated, that
the agreement was rendered useless by the unforeseen
circumstance of Mr. Kean's performance at the
Deptf ad Theatre. While thit actor was in the
tit ighbeuthood of Greenwich, there was no chance
of obtaining enough at the defendant's Theatre to
ply -for candles. The defendant, under such un-
I,•as4nt circumstances, had been forced to break the
agreement, to keep both himself and Lund from
starving. The Learned Serjeant said, the receipts of
t.,:e Theatre were so small, that the sum was not w 'rth
112thle. The Jury would crier give sel3s, provided
they considered the agreement binding—Al33 was
more than one of ji,naparte's Field Marshals ob-
tained in ten days, yet the plaintiff supposed hecould
obtain that sum from his chew, who coulrbot pay
the other naiscrable £lO which he had agreed to
give, to avoid a gaol. The Jury found a vadict for
the plainuff—Darmages £l5.
