Witness said that when his daughter's name was left out of the chorus list for the Now Zeuland tour, he went straight to Mr. Musgrove, and asked tho reason why. The latter said ho could not afford to take her, and added : "If you want to know the truth, your daughter's face would keep people out of my theatre." Luter on, witness went to Jlr, Musgrovo and tho latter asked why tho plaintiff Was not taking her salary. Witness said : " You were informed the first wook that it was not enough." Mr. Musgrove replied: "Not enough? Your wife keeps people from my theatre. As to your ' kid ' about her teaching, sho doesn't know a note of musio. You keep the chorus people waiting while you perfect her in her pnrt, and you think people can't see it." Witness said : " What would you have done without her in tho grand opera season?" Ho said : " That was all very well ; sho was a rotten failure in 'The Fortuno Teller.' You take money from the poor chorus girls." Witness said t "You paid Stanton more than £25 a week," and he replied : " Your wife is no better than Miss Stanton." Witness said: "I will relievo you of the incubus at once. I am done with you. I nm very sorry I wasted a good opinion on you for three years." (Laughter.) The hearing of the case was adjourned.
