In the third act war has been raging between the "ppiantates-over-the-fightintos of the finite Framalla, and owing to the presence of the Mascotte, now vivandière in the Písa army, Prince Fritellini has carried everything before him. As a bold stroke, Laurent, Rocco, and Flommalia, reconnoitre the enemy's camp disguised as wan dering minstrels, with a view to neutralising the influence of the Mascotte. They find her about to be married to Pippo, and as she loves him, that event would, of course, finish her career as a Mascotte. Laurent is in favour of this, as it. will at least equalise the chances of the war; but Recco, who owes him a grudge, goes off to inform Frittelling that he possesses a Mascotte, and to
stop the marriage. Too late, however, and all ends happily, Fiammella espousing the Prince, and Pippo his Bettina,

Mr. A. C. Bryer estimated the value of the pony from what he had heard said about it at $160 or $165, but admitted that he was no judge of its value.
Mr. Goldsborough, recalled, stated that he would return nay sun he might receive beyond the cost of replacing the pony, to defendant. This statement caused some amusement in Court, and was apparently received with incre. dulity.)

The pony had a special value to the plaintiff, and he is not able to replace it except by procuring one from Manila. Under such cir that the pony would, according to the de- cumstances, to give him merely the amount fendant's witnesses, have sold for here, appears to me to be an inadequate remedy for the un doubted wrong he has suffered. The plaintiff had the pony to use (or rather for his children to use) and not to sell.
