MILL P. anAltSloll4
Mr. FONILAIIIIQUIL, immetilate/y his Lordship bad taken his seat,
mentioned this case, which bad been beard and decided by.the
Lord laden. The only difficulty now was as-to the payment of
the money opt of Court.
The Loan Cnaircaitoa observed, that the day for motions had
passed.
Mr. Foustarroot submitted, that it was an urgent motion, and
be understood they were always taken.
Tin Lord CHAISCIILLOIL saul be was in Court on Wednesday, and
no one was prepared to go on with the motions.
Mr. Fonstaritune observed, that, strictly speaking. every day in

His Lordship ultimately directed the case to be mentioned on
Wednesday. •
At the rising of the Court a Mr. Campbell moved In person that
he might be discharged from the custody of the Sheriff, in which
he was under a writ of attachment from this Court for contempt, in
not having put in his answer. He alleged that a certain osder re-
cited in the bill, for not answering which he had been committed,
was not in existence, and that the Court had been deceived when
it granted the order.
The Loan CHANCILLLOIL asked him if he had affidavits of the facts
he stated, and if he bad given nom: to the other aide?
Mr. Campbell replied he had nut; but he wished to have awe*
of habeas sorra ftinted him, that he might be brought op Cla Mir
future day.
The LORD CMASCaLLOR said he might, as of COWS! and cerigbt,
have the writ, but that it would be of no use to him unless be pre-
pared himself by evidence of his own case, and by notice to the
other side, who had a right to be heard against his application. The
facts might be as the applicant stated them, but the Court could
not decide upon that statement only. He recommend:d'him to
provide himself with professional assistance.
Mr. TaWILOVE said he was instructed by the applicant to move,
but be was um aware of his intention of making this personal appli-
cation to the Court.

hir. Campbell declined to follow the Lord Chancellor's advi
and the writ was ordered to be made reium.ible as he wibbed it.

COURT OF. KING'S BENCH, Mar
SINCLAIR AGAINST MINIX AND MINIM.
Mr. F. POLLOCK Mewed cause against a rule for a new trial,. oh.
mined in last Alichaelmas Term by Mr. Staten. It was an action
against the managers of Covent garden Theatre for a breach of con-
tract, tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the Sittings after last
Trinity Term, when the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. The
defendants had, by their letters to the plaintiff, engaged him to per.
form at the theatre for 58 nights dui lug the seasons of 18f4 and
1825, at 201. per night; and the Ist of October was named
in one of the letters for the time when the engagement was
to begin. The plaintiff, however, did not arrive in London
till the 15th of October, when he found the part destined for
hint in the Opera of Der Freischids filled up be Mr. Pearman.
The defendants told the plaintiff, that as be had not come to
town in time, they did not consider themselves bound by :be
engagement they had made with bins ; but they at the same
time agreed to employ him fee as many nights during the season
as they could, at tile same rate of 20. per night; and in conse-
quence of this agreement the plait tiff refund to accept an advan-
tageous offer made to hint irons another Tinter. The defendants,
however, employed him se widows (not more than nate nights
during the whole season), that he conceived they had not per-
formed their promise ; and therefore brought the action. The Lord
Chief Justice, un the trial, thought the original contr...et had been
abandoned, and that a new contract bad been made, and left it to
the Jury to consider whether the plaintiff had been employed a
reasonable number of nights under that second amuse; where.'
upon the Jury found fur the plaintiff, with 4801. damages. The rule
Nisi for a new trial was moved for, en the ground of ntiall.
rectlon, and also because, allowing a second contract to have
been entered into, there was no count in the declaration applicable
to such secor.t: contract. Mr, P. Pollock, in showing cause, coo.
tended that his Lordship's direction was right; but some discussion
arising between hint and the Attorney-General on that direction.
Lord Tenterden thought it would be the safest way that a new
trial should be had, giving. the plaintiff liberty to amend his deela*
ration ; and the arrangement being assented to, the rule was made
absolute, and it was also ordered that the costs should abide the
event of a slew trial.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 14.
The Court were occupied a considerable portion of the day in
justifications of hail, after which they disposed of several motions
Fur new trials, all of which were, however, totally •uid of public
interest.
