finement of their performance. In view of
the large number of ladies attending, the
reserved seats are in demand, and should be
secured early in the day, so that a larger
number may be set apart if necessary for

juries, closed Friday with a verdict for the
plaintiff. The suit was brought Oh note
dated in January, 1859, signed by Sterrett
decd, and payable to Sanderson. The de-
PENDANTS resisted the payment on the
ground that the note was not given for a
consideration, but was merely scrubbed on
piece of blank book, he being in the
habit of scribbling on waste paper, and
came improperly into the hands Of the
holder. Some forty witnesses were sum-
moned in the case. The verdict in the case
finally settles the matter.
