The General Term Of the Supreme
Court Of New York, held by Justices
Davis Fancher and Brady, has rem
dered n decision refusing u graft n
new tri9l in The case Of Edward ;
Stokes, and the Judgment Of the Court
below affirmed. The decision was
unanimous, and it vas subsequently
made known to the prisoner. The case
will now go, on the exceptions taken
at the trial, to the Court Of Appeals,
for rcyicw--tut the general impression
seems to be that the Court Of last re.
sort will affirm the judgment ofthc Sn
pgcmc Court, and their action, Of course
will coDsign Stokes TO the gcalo.d, IN
less Governor Dix should intcrposc
his authority and save him from death
Of which, we think, there is little or ~
probability. 1t IS said that there arr
few, ir any. cases in which the Cour
Of Appeals has reversed the unanimous
judgment ofthc Supreme Court Judges
sitting in General Tenn, and this Tao
is regarded as ominous Of the fate 0
the unhappy man. His friends, how
ever, are determined to use every pos
s,blc means to avert his tate, but it re

A THEATRICAL SUIT.
MISS PLEsSY MoRDAUNT's ENGAGEMENT Al TIL
UNION SQUARE THEATER.


UNION SQUARE THEATER.
A suit, brought by Miss Plessy Mordaunt,
an English actress against Sheridan Shook the proprie
tor of the Union Square Theater, tried yesterday
before Judge Curtis. in the Marine Court Part J. Miss
Mordaunt affirmed that $500 was due her from the de-
PENDANT II the terms of contract which she entered
into with his agent, Albert NJ. Palmer, were fulfilled
She that June 1872 she was engaged TO act
at the Union Square Theater leading lady for the sea-
son beginning Sept 1872 and ending July l, 1873 and
that she promised to perform times every week
required in all characters not inconsistent with the rank
of leading lady, In compliance with this contract she
serms she acted in the theaer until April 1873
which day she discharged by the defendant without
proper cause be by 80 doing violating the contract
sheridan Shook admitted making the contract He
denied however the plaintiffs Interpretation OF the en-
papements which were entered into in the contract.
Miss Mordauut, in his opinion, promised 10 play all
parts that his agent, Palmer should designate ana
also agreed abide by tho regulations OF the theater
which we're annexed TO and made part OF the contract
She further acquiesced in part Of the contract which
yaye the managers the right dismiss from their ser
vice any OF their employees who should break the rules
play part assigned her; she at once dismissed,
and the contract was accordingly broken; &. .no
contract The rank she hold in The heaer
Mentioned vet she understood the agent to say that il
have share in the leading parts similar to those which
was fulfilled to her satisfaction until April when the
character Of the Baroness" in the play Frou-Frou
part always assigned TO the lady known as fret Old
woman" set down for her. she declined to assume
the character the ground that 1T would in1ure her
business reputation "leadng lady" OF the theater
other managers would naturally think that she had
abdeated her former rank Thereupon Mr.. Palmer dis
missed her. she had subsequently informed him that
she was willing take any proper parts which might be
assigned her but she was never again employed
In defense, Mr.. Palmer and Mr.. HarkDs the stage
manager testified that at the time OF Miss Mordaunt
engagement definitely understood that she should
not be assigned TO leading lady characters that the part
of the Baroness the best part perhaps, that che
was assigned 10 during her connection with the theaer
and that after her refusal she had back TO the
theaier and offered to take the part.
Several actors and contradictory tes
ony in regard to their opinion Of the question whether
the character Of the Baroness" is or s not an old
lady part The Jury gave a verdict for the defendant
