THE FoRD's OPERA HOUSE LfTIGATIoN.-In
| the Equity Court yesterday the case OF Berry
| agt. Beny was heard. In July last an order
| was passed directed that Mr.. John t. Ford pay
forthwith to Mr.. VIM. j. Miller, receiver, 81 0o6
otherwise the receiver was to exercise discre-
t1onary power In taking possession of the build
That he might deem proper. Yesterday Mr..
MOTIFS, for the receiver, announced that the
money had not been paid, and expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Ford was in contempt CT court
and should be so treated. Col. Corkhill, cOun-
sci for Mr. John T. Ford, claimed that no notice
had been served on Mr. Ford or himself Notice
had been served on Mr. I'll. Clay Ford, but he
was neither In charge OF the opera house nor
agent for Mr.. John T. Ford. On the contrary
however, he was organizing a troupe of his
own and mad a separate management. Judge
Hagner thought sufficient notice and time had
been allowed. and authorized a peremptory
order TO issue against Mr.. Ford directing that
he pay to the receiver by the 10Th instant the
g 600, and intimated that If It was not complied
with another and more compulsory process
Would issue.
