Sensational Breach of Promise Case.

If the case of Miss " Birdie" Sutherland, a chorus girl in the Gaiety Theatre, against Dudley Churchill Majoribanks, eldest son of Baron Tweedmouth, for breach of promise ever comes to trial it will (according to a London despatch of May 18th) be/ the most sensational afta**- since Miss Fortescue, the actress, won £10,000 from Lord Garmoyle on a similar charge. Miss Sutherland's real name is Annie Louise Watkins. She first met Dudiey Majoribanks at the Prince , of Wales Club. It was a case of love ( at first sight. He proposed, and was \ accepted." When his parents heard of ( the affair they were very much dis- ] turbed. Mr Majoribanks went to ' Canada on a visit with his , mother to , the Earl of Aberdeen, Governor-gene- | ral of Canada. The young man did j not return with his mother to England .c but remained in Canada, and the i ■natch was broken off. Miss Suther- * and then placed the case in the hands * >f a well-known theatrical lawyer, who } •etained on her behalf Sir Edward Ularke. Mr C. F. Gill and several >ther legal lights have also been re- ( ained. t
