GRANTED A NEW TRIAL.
Differences Between Music Hall Pro-
prietor and Performers.

Judge Falligant rendered decision yes
terday in the certiorari case of Hill and
Edmunds against Neil Gildea In one
form or another the case has been pend
ing for nearly eighteen months, and in
it's time has possessed a good many fea-
lures of interest.
Billy Hill and Eta Edmunds are two
vaudeville performers, known off the
stage as Mr.. and Mrs William Hill, who
in November Of 1899 were engaged by the
manager of the New Alhambra Music
Hall to play four weeks engagement.
They came, performed on one night and
then were fired out by Proprietor Gildea.
They were very near their uppers for
some time. Their joint services had been
appraised in their contract at $40 per
week and they sued the music hall pro-
pTietor for this amount A jury in the
court of Magistrate G. Noble Jones, to
which the case had been appealed from
the prior judgment of the magistrate him
self, awarded a verdict for the defendant
and the case was then taken by writ of
certiorari to the Superior Court
There it has dragged along ever since
and was argued only very recently. Judge
Falligant in his decision sustains the cerA
tiorari. reverses the judgment of the JUS
tees Court. awards new trial and sends
the case back to the magistrate that the
new trial may be had.
The point of difference between the
plaintiffs and defendant was the right of
the latter TO discharge the former after
one nights performance. The plaintiffs
have been represented by Mr. w. r.
Leaken and the defendant by Mr.. David
c. Barrow.
