AMUSING DREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

An action was tried before Mr. Justice Grove in the Court of Common Pleas, on A mil 20, in which a young lady named Marian Fairs sued vir. Alfred Fitch for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant denied the promise.

Mr. W. Wright, in opening the case, said the plaintiff was a young woman now about ' 28 years of age, the daughter of a small far mer at Bsmfoid, iv Essex. In 1867 she en tered into the tervice of Mrs Fitch, who carried on a ch^t-monger's business in Queen's-i(«ad. Bay water. Heronlyson, the deftmant, lived with her and managed the bus-ii ess, for which he received a salary of £3 a week, in addition to bis board and lodg ing. Vt-ry soon the defendant began to show the plaintiff attentions, and this having gone on for s m^ tjme, tho defendant asked her to become his wife, and they became engaged. The courtship lasted from 1567 until Jan uary last year, when it was broken off. No less than 164 letters had passed—(laughter) —some funny,|some grandiloquent, and some eminently religious ; but he would not waste time by reading more than a few extracts from them. The first letter was dated June 11, 1868, and commenced thus : —

My darling Marian,—Shall I write to say I love thee ? No ; that is what thou knowest so well, and what is more, I know thou lov est me more than ever I can tell. While my heart is warm with love, h oping, fearing, longing for thee, My own to be. Thou spotless dove. I never knew that I could write rhyme before, but I have managed to put this together, I suppose through my strong feeling towards you. After some more of the same sort the letter concluded— Believe me, my darling to be, yours lovingly for ever, Alfred. 8f Again, on August 6, he wrote :— My darling Marion, —As I felt rather lonely, I went round your way last night, and when you went up stairs I went down the mews, in the hope of just catching a glimpse of you ; and these thoughts occurred to me :— I see the shadow on the wall, and knew it is my Polly, And guess she is thinking well of me, who's here for love of Polly, Ah ! now I see the light put out, of that I'm rather sorry. No matter; I'll go home and dream about my • darling Polly, (Loud laughter.) Mr Justice Grove : That was in conse quence of the Mews, I suppose. (Renewed laughter.) There were many other letters of the same kind, one or two of them of a very religious character ; and so late as January 25 in last year the defendant concluded a letter to th 3 plaintiff in these terms—" Believe me your affectionate sweetheart, Alfred," and yet four days after he wrote a cold and heartless letter, breaking off the engagement which had continued so long.

Mr L. Smith addressed the jury in migifca tion of damages, asserting that, the defendant was not in a position to pay damages, nor in fact to support a wife.

The defendant himself corroborated this statement, and said that he was now in the employment of a cheesemonger at Newington Butts ; his salary was 34a. a week, and he lodged with his mother, and paid her 245. a week. He had on bis father's death come into possession of £100, but that bad been spent upon the family necessities. He had now not a farthing beyond the 345. a week. In cross-examination he said that he had once the greatest affection for the plaintiff; and being pressed as to his present feeling towards her, confessed that after the present proceedings he bore her the greatest hatred. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, £105.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.

An explosion of gas, causing the death of one man and serious injuries to another, occurred (says the Argus) in an outhouse belonging to the Theatre Royal. The Theatre Royal managers manufacture oxygen and hydrogen gas, for the production of stage effects in two small gasometers in a sort of shed on the east side of the stage, but altogether outside the main building. On Monday evening, Mr Millistt went into tbe shed with a young man of 19 or 20, named Sydney Smith, for the purpose, it is supposed of finding out and closing some small leak. They took a port fire and soldering iron with them, and it js supposed mounted on the top of the hydrogen gasometer to look for the leak, taking with them, it is believed, a lighted candle. A terrific explosion was heard at about a quarter past six, at which time it is surmised they were on the gas ometer looking for the leak. Two men employed about the place went to the shed, and found the gasometer thrown down in the shed, and a large irregular hole some four feet wide torn in the corrugated roof of the shed. On the shed near this rent they found Mr. Millistt .lying doubled up, and on moving him discovered that his leg was broken, and that he was appa rently injured internally. He was con scious, but did not seem to know what had happened, and asked where he was. Some one then called out that tbe young man who had been in, the shed with him coald not he found. A search was made, and ultimately Smith was found in a confused heap on the top of a two-storey brick build ing adjoining the shed. The force of the explosion had propelled both men right through the roof of corrugated sheet iron, but while.Milistt had fallen back upon the roof, Smith had been cast in a slanting direc tion some 17 feet higher, over a chimney, and upon the two-storey brick building. He was taken down,and Mr Crossen, surgeon,.i who had been sent for, examined him, and found that he was quite-dead, his neck being broken. One arm wai also broken, and the head was cut and bleeding profusely. Smith's body was removed to the morgue, and Mil listt was conveyed to the Melbourne Hospital, where it was found that he bad sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and injury to the face. It wasTalso feared that his back was hurt, and.that he had sustained iuternal injuries, but this could not be ascertained. He was suffering greatly from general shock to the system, Millisett is about 40 years old;
