The Black Crook in Court-A Theatrical
---.- Agent Bound to the Peace


There was quite an excitment this forenoon,
at the Tombs, before Justice Dowling, caused
BY the sudden appearance in court of Messrs
Jarrett d Palmer, OF sBlack Crook" notoriety
and Mr.. Harry Wall, a dramatic agent, doing
business at No. 649 Broadway. Mr. Palmer,
In reply to the magistrate, said that he wanted
to be ted from the insult and Interferenee
OF Harry Wall, who had gone into his theater
few nights since, and when refused admit.
tance, swore IN threatening and insulting
manner that he would get even with them and
burst up the whole arrangement. by taking
away the drhstes employed in the place Some
time ago. Mr.. Wall, it is alleged, induced
Mdlles. Sangalli and Betty Rigl to break off
their engagements, and go, the former to Bos-
ton. and the latter to Chicago, for the purpose
Of playing star characters at irst-cIass theaters
whereas Mime. Sangalli was put into a third
rate theater, and Mime. Rigl into a concert
saloon. They were afterwards, according TO
what he coulo hear, abandoned and LETT in
bad condltion. He wanted to have Mr.. Wall
bound over to the epeace, and compelled to keen
from giving him annoyance in future.
Justice Bowling said that II the facts as re-
lated by Mr.. Palmer were true in the main,
ana ne had no reason to doubt them so far,
Mr.. Wall had not only been guilty of extraor
binary conduct towards the managers of the
"Black Crook" but also towards Mdlles San
galh and Rigl, who were strangers in q strange
land, and entitled to have courtesy and pro.
lection extended to them. He would not at
present pass upon the matter, however until
ne heard the testimony Of the ladies them
selves.
. Captain Jourdan then undertook to have tho
Witnesses brought from Boston and PhiladeI

to bail in the sum OF $1,000. Considerable in
