LITERATURE.

•
The Shahsepeare Repository. Edited by JAMBI{ HAMIL-
TON FIINNEL.

A miscellany, intended to contain various curious
facts, and such stray notices of Shakespeare as are
scattered in various quarters, old and new, and
which, from their diverse character, do not oome
within the natural scope of any other connected
work. We have a number of authorities for the
spelling of the poet's name, in the manlier that was
customary before Mr. Charles Knight established
the orthography which has been used latel7. Shakes-
peare's bequest to his wife forms the subject of an-
other discussion, which is relieved by several quota-
tions. Interesting information concerning Shakes-
peare's chair and mulberry tree; the editions of his
works; and the theatres where his plays were per-
formed, will also be found in the present sheet, which
is evidently intended to be followed by others, pe-
riedically. The patrons of "Notes and Queries,'
and many others, will sympathise with the author
of this publication, and desire his success.

THEATRICAL REFORM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.
Sts,—lf I were the manager of a theatre (which
heaven forefend!) this is the way I should attempt to carry
one the reforms, which—to judge from the loud complaints
of your correspondents—are so much needed in public ac-
commodation at theatres and exhibitions. I should begin
by increasing the rise of the pit, so that even the little boy
on the hindmost benches might enjoy an uninterrupted
view of every one of clown's subtlest tricks. By the present
arrangement, the suppositious little boy alluded to is sub-
jected to the tortures of Tantalus : clown, during three-
fourths of his hilarious orbit, being eclipsed to the juvenile
vision by the interposition of a dense adult 'body' in front.
Then I would cushion and put backs to all the
seats In the pit, instead of confining that atten-
tion, as now, to the alternate rows ; for, I defy
you or any men to enjoy either Shakespeare or Pita-
ball (a wide range) with • " crick" in your back ; and
this you are sure to get after an hour's penance on these
" tribulation beaches." But my grand improvement
would be to number every seat in the theatre. Aye ! even
in the gallery, for why should the gods be compelled to
secure their Olympian thrones by bard knocks ? The
checks should be similar to the railway tickets, printed by
Edmonson's machine, with consecutive numbers, to be sold
by the money takers in regular order; so that the earliest
comers should have the lowest numbers, corresponding to
tho beat places.. This would at once and effectually put a
stop to box-keepers' impertinence, inasmuch as the posses
Sion of your cheek would give you an unquestionable title
to a particular sest, be perfectly fair to the public, and en-
able the management to exercise a much more efficient con-
trol over the money and check takers than under the tire-
sent no-system. Perhaps on some special occasions this
plan might keep money out of the house by restricting the
number of admissions; but it would render every body
comfortable and contented who got in, and thus secure a
steady flow of regular customers, which must surely be
more profitable than an intermittent series of "crams"
and "empty benches." The free orders might then bear
only high numbers, not generally used for money cheeks;
thus dnving the non-paying people into back seats.
I don't saya word about the shilling-for-booking swindle,
because of course being a manager of brains, lb I should
necessarily be, my first act of authority would be toe, we"
the nuisance away utterly.
In the mean time, as the above reforms ~,,Hkeix• ,

Lord Campbell said, se it was not the ettersey himself,

Mr. Macauley then read from the plaiatifFs declaration
that poet of it which alleges that the defendants maliciously
islesimi te injure the plaintiff; and that, by reason
therool, Oho plaintiff on the nth of August appeared before
I. Saseek use of the justices of the peace for Birmingham,
defendants falsely and maliciously charged
illilianZe the
the Baroness Von Beck with having, by false
werreseatatiose, obtained the sum of IL 41., the money of
the defendant Dawson ; and that for the purpose of such
eleirge, the defendants falsely and without probable roue
obtained • warrant to take the plaintiff sad the baroness
Ware the justice of the peace, under which warrant the
ipleietiff was taken and imprisoned. Now, In the first
Om, there was no proof of the existence of the warrant.
Were the other parts of the declaration proved ? To
answer this the depositions of tho several defendants
must be looked at. The defendant, Mr. Tindall, in his de-
positions, stated, in substance, the circumstances under
which he became acquainted with the lady calling herself
the Baroness Von Beck, and that he bad sins been led to
believe that she was not the person she represented herself
to be. Mr. George Dawson, another defendant, stated in
his depositions that the lad of whom mention is made in
the declaration' was introduced to him as the Baronies Von
Beck, and thatthe plaintiff was also introduced as the Ba-
roness Von Beck's secretary ; that certain plated particu-
lars of a work about to be published by the lady were
banded to him; that he undertook to become a subscriber
to such work ; that he paid the plaintiff, M. de Maroda,
If. 4s. as his subscription to the work ; that upon conversing
with the lady he found she did not speak French, which ap-
=acreage, as she represented herself to have been

IMllem elm was the Baroness Von Beck, as she had
ted herself to be. Then came the depositions of
71.11ryton, the third defendant; but, as these were not
preyed at the trial, the learned gentleman did not go into
them. Lastly, there were the depositiose of the fourth
dehadant, Mr. Ryland, which state that he had made in-
quiries, sad verily believed that she pose. calling herself
the Harmer Von Beck was not the individual she repre-
sented herself to be. None of there &pollees proved
that any charge of obtaining money under Mee mss
was absolutely made by the defendants. The utmost that
appeared was, that the defendants, or rather Wee of them,
were of opinion that the lady in question wee net the
Baronets Von Beck, and if, upon any foolish wed= of
that nature, the justice thought fit to lanai • wanaat far
the apprehension of the plaintiff, the defendants were not
liable for the consequences.
Mr. Mellor and Mr. Hayes followed on tho mans side.
Mr. Seijoent Miller, who was for the plaintiff, wee est

or not there was evideasassibiest to go to • jury, to show

The character of the dshaileat's proceedings admitted only
of one aggravation, and that was the defence which had
been made to them. The matter, to use • common phrase,
had been brazened out. Mr. Hudson said here in effect—
" It is true I took your property, I had a right to take it,
I performed services for you, and I had a right to take it."
Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Rolt had appealed first to the
of the resolution of January 7, 1648. They in-
eislastrierat the revelation was eaaid is order to bay off
opposing landowners on the line. It was so fomented at

and he then went on to state that after appropriating
among the shareholders 37,950 shares, there would still re-
main 12,050 shares to be die ributed in the manner he had
described. Now the bill did not seek to question the pro-
priety of the appropriation of those shares which
were applied to the landowners for the purpose of
buying off opposition. The resolution, however, stated
that the shares should be "at the iligomil of
the directors." That was

This was a proseeduig under the Small Debts Act exiting
out of the following circumstances .—The defendant, a
clerk in the Post-o Mes, was summoned to show cause why
he should not pay the plaintiff, an attorney, 161. 10e. on a
judienuat in one of the superior courts.
From the examination of the plaintiff sad defendant by
the court it appeared that the insolvent had rented a man
house in Lambeth, which he took of a Mr. Porter, who
was solicitor to a lady named Hart. A claim of 16e. was
made on the house by the Rev. Mr. Dalton, the rectos. of
Lambeth, under the Tithe Commutation Act as a rent
chair. The insolvent was oat of town and the member.
of his family did not pay the money. He alleged that he
only owed Bs. as the rent cheep, which was one year's rent
as tithe charge. An action wee brought against the insol-
vent, and the *apemen were 141. His. Subsequently pro-
ceedings were takeate_geteminsudea, and the sheriff turned
the defendant sad his fin into the street. The articles
were put into a waggon, sad 1a the Care of some neigh-
bours, until a house ooald be taken. Being in )Possession,
the rector, under the 6 t 7 Will. IV., was entitled to hold
the land until he was paid. The defendant was anxious to
get possession in ceder to give it up to his landlord and to
get rid of his liability. It was agreed between the attorney
(Mr. Jones) and the defendant that be should give a pro-
missory note for 161. 10e. and pay 21. 10s. in cash. The
note was given, which was to be paid at 21. per quarter, bat
no further payment had been made. Mr. Jones then
brought an action on the promissory note, and now sum-
moned the defendant under the Small Debts Act.
The defendant represented his esse as a very hard one—
that for eight shillings he should have been put to all the
law costs. He had waited on the Rev. Mr. Dalton, and
that gentleman interceded, and was willing to give 61. to
get the matter settled.
The plaintiff alleged that two years' tithe charge was due
by the insolvent. He had not proceeded, and had charged
lam than he was entitled to through charity. Mr. Doyle
was a catholic, and had, perhaps, made a vow not to
pay it.
The defendant said it had nothing to do with religion.
Mr. Commissioner Law said they could not talk of cha-
rity. Practically, it had been a great oppression. It was
very lamentable that the few shillings owing by the inapt-
' vent were not paid ; sad although the rector was entitled to
his rights, he could not believe that he knew of the great
I 'susses that had been incurred.
The matter was adjourned to Friday neat for further
information.

AN ALARMING SACRIFICE IN BATATLL—The
Journal dos Dobai, quoting from the Jaya Bodo (a journal
published at Batavia) gives an account of a recent sale of
slaves at the Chinese camp. The slaves, twelve in number,
having been placed upon the table of the exposition, dis-
posed in four lots, rattled some money in their hands and
addreseed a few words, timidly, and in low tones, to the
assembly. A person who acted as their agent here stepped
forward, and stated that his clients, having accumulated,
by long and painful labours, some small savings, solicited
eke favour of being allowed to make a bidding for the pur-
°ham of their own persons. No opposition being offered
Om Rest lot was cried, and made an offer, through their
agent, of 40 frame. No advance being made upon this
Sum the slaves were knocked down to themselves. The
next lot, encouraged by their predecessors, offered only 24
francs. The public preserved the same silence, and they
also became their own purchasers. The third lot took the
hint, and were even more fartunate, picking themselves up
a decided bargain for the modest sum of 10 francs. The
Java Bode ems in these facts a great advance in civilisation,
especially assess tle Chinese, who formed the `eat majo-
rity ef the preens mush
