Some eases of more than ordinary interest wore heard at the Keighley County Court ! a few days fro. Madame Antoinette Sterling (Mrs. MacKinlay) was sued by two parties in respect of a tour which she made i in the West Hiding and Lancashire in the early part of the year. In the first action, Mr. Percy Naylor, 011 behalf of Mr. Ellis j Riley, pianist and music-teacher, Lordstreet, Kcigliley, sought to recover £14 7s lid, being a balance due to him for services as pianist to Madame Sterling during part of lier tour. Sho visited Keiglilcy on Jannary 24, and Dr. Wiley acted as second accompanist, performing'on the organ while Madame Sterling sang "The Lost Chord" and " Crossing the Bar." He was asked by her to accompany her on her tour, and ultimately lie agreed to go for five guineas a week and expenses, and accordingly he gave his pupils notice. He asked Madame Sterling at Settle for something on account, as lie had not received payment. She gave him 10s, and said she would see her manager, who on two occasions paid him £2 10s. He frequently complained, and Madame Sterling told him not to ba uneasy, as she would see that lie was paid. He had had nothing to do with the manager, Mr. Hardman. Mr. Henry Cunlilfe Hardman, concert agent, Stac-ksteads, said he undertook Madame Sterling's concent tour. Mr. Charles M'ellor, barrister (instructed by Mr. Jno. Ellis, Keighley, and a London firm of solicitors), for the defence, and after a short consultation with his client, stated that, after having heard Mr. Riley, Madame Sterling felt that, although she did not engage him, he had been led to suppose that she would see that he was paid, and she would therefore consent to a verdict. She had been highly pleased with Mr. Riley's musical perfoimances. In the second case Mr. Naylor represented Mr. Joliann Joseph Schmidt!, till recently landlord of the Devonshire Hotel, Kcigliley, and the action was in respect of a bill of £18 for a stay of several days by Madame Sterling and party. After Hardman's evidence, Mr. Mellor, addressing the jury for the defence, said that the evidence from everybody except one person had been truthful. Madame Sterling had been affected by that mail's knavery and trickery to the extent of £1000. Unfortunately, her trustful disposition had led her to repose confidence in the man. Madame Sterling, who took the Scotch oath, said that Hardman wrote offering a 12 weeks' engagement, and she agreed for a salary of 100 guineas, per week. When week after week passed on without payment she insisted on a written agreement. His Honor said that the jury's findings amounted to a verdict for the defendant, and as Mr. Naylor had paid the costs of the earlier hearing, it was agreed that there should be no mention of costs at this.
