DRAMA.
OLYMPIC.

A new drama was produced here last night,
founded on the French piece La Idle de rArare, aucT en.
titled Lore and A earice. The part of Bearden, the miser,
was essayed by Mr. Henry Farren, who, it would appear, is
desirous of changing the line of characters which he hu
hitherto adopted for a more ambitious class of impersona-
tions, such as those in which his father has long been us-
equalled. It may be questioned, however, bow far the
characteristics of extreme age c in be successfully pourtrayed
by any actor who has not from the beginning of his career
made them his constant study and practice. An occasional
transition from the shrill pipe of senility to the robust tones
of vigorous manhood a momentary forgetfulness
of the assumed feebleness of age—destroy the illu
aion, and constantly remind us that it is but an
imitation. This was the cue with Mr. Henry
Farren's performance of last night; and, although
there was much that was deserving of praise in his earnest-
ness of intention, and occasion .1 passages were success-
fully executed, still the general effect was crude and
laboured ; ►nd it will require some years of ex-
ercise before the son can hope to approach
the father's facility of execution and sustained power in
the representation of old men The choice of the part also
was scarcely happy, since there are few play-goers who do
not remember Boaffe's marvellous performance in the ori-
ginal drama—his awful frenzy in the scene where he dis-
covers the lou of his treasure, and learns that it has been
taken by his daughter. We shall, however, be glad to see
Mr. Henry Farrell is another part in which no such cosi-
parisoas are suggaeted; and have no doubt that by prac-
tice in the new line which he has adopted, much of the
crudity now observable will disappear. The piece has not
been well adapted; much of the interpolated dialogue
being of the lowest order of colloquial common-place; and
considerable compression will he required to make it move
less heavily than it did last night. Mr. Henry Mantas, as
Gaston Iletbert, and Mite Anderton, as Jessie (the miser's
daughter), played with much earnestness and feeling;
while Mr. Shalden did the best he could fora small comic
part, intended by the adapter as a relief to the serious in-
terest of the drama. The piece was successful, and Mr
Henry Farms was called forward at its termination.

- • Henry Lust should not then yes an them as estates toil,
but that the vesting in their heirs male should not take

visoes : Provided always, and I declare my u ill to be,

before devised shall thereupon go over and be enjoyed ac-
cording to the subsequent uses and limitations of this my
will, as if the said Cherie' Henry Cast were actually dead
without tame male; pr .tided also, and I declare my will
to be, that if my brother the said Francis Henry Egerton
shall be created Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, with
such limitations over of the said title and dignity as that the
same may, immediately after the failure of issue maleof my
said brother, come to the said John Hume Lord Viscount Al-

then and in such case my said hereditament' and real es-
tates lareinbefore devised shall be settled, limited, and en-
joyed in such manner as if the several provisoes hereinbe-

directed to be limited to the said John Hume Lord Viscount
Alford and Charles Henry Cost, and to trastees during
their lives for preserving contingent remainders, and to the
heirs male of their bodies respectively, subsequent to the
proviso for taking and using the name and arms of Egerton

proviso for taking and using the name and arms of Egerton
only, had not been contained in my will ; notwithstanding
the previous determination, if it shall happen of the uses
and estates directed to be limited to the heirs male of Lord
Alford and Charles Henry Cust; provided always, and I
declare my will to be that if the said John Earl Brownlow
shall hereafter take any other title than Duke or Marquis
of Bridgewater, so as to be inheritable by or limited to the
issue male of his body by the said Sophia, Lady Brownlow,
his late wife, or any of them, then the uses and estates
hereinliefore declared and directed to be limited to the said
Lord Alford and Charles Henry Cast, and their heirs male
shall thenceforth cease and be void, and thereupon my said
hereditament' and real estate shall go over, and be limited
and enjoyed according to this my will, as if the said Lord
Alford and Charles Kim Cast were artaally deed without

and that it was not intended to be imposed as an obligation,
as otherwise his refusal to comely therewith, might tend to
defeat the testator's object of uniticg his estates to the title
of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, according to the limi-
tations contained in the as ill, if it should be the pleasure of
the crown to create such title, so as to come to the heirs
male of John, Earl Brownlow, and his issue male. There
were several other codicils to the will, but they did not
affect the present rose. The testator died without issue on
21st of October, 1823, and his will was duly proved. At the
time of his death Lord Alford was in his 12th year ; and the
title and dignity of Earl of Bridgewater devolved on his
brother Francis Henry, eighth Earl of Bridgewater during
whose lifetime, Earl Brownlow, Lord Clive, and Sir Charles
Long, the trustees under the will, managed the estates and
paid to the said Earl of Bridgewater an annuiiy of 18,0001.
a year ; the remainder of the rests being applied as di-
rected, aad the residuary personae estate become eery largo.
Francis Henry Earl of Bridgewater died in 1h29 unmarried,
and without having been created Duke or Marquis
of Bridgewater, and the widow of the testator,
Charlotte Catherine Anne Countess of Bridgewater, because
entitled as tenant for life in posseasion of the real estates ell
the testator, and did enjoy them until her death. Amelia I
Lady Long, who at the time of her death was Lady Farr
borough, deed in January, 1837, with( ut issue. This Lady
Farnborough, and Sophia Lady Brownlow, who was the
mother of Lord Alford and the repondent, Charles Henry
Egerton, described as Charles Henry Cust in the will, were
sisters, and the only children of Lady Amelia Hume' who
was the only sister of the testator. On tho decease of Lady
Farnborough, Lord Alford became the heir-at-law of the
testator. By the deaths of Lord Farnborough and Earl of
POWiS formerly Viscount Clive, changes in the trusteeships
took place, which ultimately vested them in Earl Brownlow,
the present Earl of Fowl., and Wilbraham Egerton, sen.,
EST The Countess of Bridgewater, widow of the testator,
died in February, 1849, and Lord Alford then became en-
titled in possession to the estates under the will, and assumed
the name and arms of Egerton. On his marriage with Lady
Marianne Margaret Compton (now the respondent, Lady
Marianne Egerton), Lord Alford charged the estates with
•jointute for her of 5,0001. a year. In January, 1851,
Lord Alford died, having continued in possession and
enjoyment of the real estates and of the income
of the residuary personal estate of the testator, and leaving
the present appellant,then John William Sprinter Brownlow
Horne Cust, his eldest sou, and the heir male of his body,
and also heiriarlaw of the testator, and who afterwards as-
sumed the name and arms of Egerton. There was not, at
the time of the date of the testator's will, or of his death, a
dukedom or marquisate of Bridgewater either in ells:mete
Or abeyance ; and since the death of the testator it has not
been the pleasure of the crown to create any such dukedom
or marquisette, or any such title, and neither the appellant
use Earl Brownlow has taken any title whatever. On the
26th of February, 1851, the appellant filed a bill in Chan-
cery against the respondents, praying that it might be de-
clared that he was, under and by virtue of the testator's
will and codicils, equitable tenant in tail male in posses
lion of the estates other than leaseholds for years, and ab-
solutely entitled to the estates held upon leases for years,
and the personal chattels, and calling en the executors Lo
account for the rents and profits, and that a receiver should
be appointed pending the suit. Charles Henry Egerton
was appointed receiver, and he and the other respondents
demurred to the bill for want of equity. The dent
were heard before Vice-Chancellor Lard Cranworth on the
20th of August, 18,51, and he overruled them all. The
cause was then proceeded with, and came on to be heard on
the 26th of February, 1882, before Lord Cranworth, then
Lord Justice, but acting for Vice-Chancellor Kindersley,
under an order of the Lord Chancellor. His lordship
made a decree dismissing the bill of the appellant, and de.
elating that as Lord Alford had died without having ac-
quired the title and dignity of Duke or Marquis of Bridge.
water, the heirs male of the said Lord Alford were not en-
titled to the estates, but that they passed under the provi-
sions of the will to Charles Henry Egerton. Against this
decision the present appeal was then brought.
The Solicitor-Geneval. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, -.ail Mr. 0. Hall
appeared for the appellant, and on his behalf it was con-
tended that the judgment of the court below treated the
proviso in the will referring to the acquisition of the title of
Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater as a condition precedent,
without the performance of which the estates could not
vest ; whereas, in fact, the proviso was not a condition e re-
cedent, but a condition subsequent, and if so it was illegal
and void, and the estates having vested by the usual course
of law upon such limitations as were contained in the will,
could not be diverted by the non performance of a condition
subsequent.
Mr. James Russell, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Gifford),
for the respondent, Charles Henry Egerton, supported the
decree of the court below.

--7-.
Mr. Rolt (with whpm were Mr. Melina, Mr. Elmsley,
and Mr. Kendall) appeared for the respondents Wil-
braham Egerton, William Tattln Egerton, and William
Teflon Egerton the younger, and urged also in support
of the decree, that the trusts in the testator's will for the
settlement of his estates were executory, and the provisoes
therein contained referred not to estates actually limited,
but to estates and interests directed to be limited, and it
would be contrary to the plain intention of the testator
that the appellant should in the events which had hap-
pened, be held entitled to any present estate or interest in
such estates ; that on the death of Lord Alford, the limita-
tion to the :use of his heirs did: not arise or take effect,
being subject to a condition precedent, or to • proviso in
the nature of a condition precedent which bad not been
performed or complied with, and that the limitation to the
use of the heirs male of Lord Alford, directed by the testa-
tor to be inserted in the settlement of the estates was a
contingent remainder, and the contingency on which it
was to take effect had not happened.
Sir Fitzroy Kelly was yesterday heard in reply, but had
not concluded when the house adjourned.

ELECTION.-

FEILJURY.

This was a criminal information filed by order of the
House of Commons, against the defendant, for perjury
alleged to have been committed before the committee of the
house sitting upon the Southampton election. The de-
fendant pleaded not guilty.
Sir F. Thesiger stated that, after the last general election.
a petition was presented to the House of Commons against
the return of Sir A. Cockburn for Southampton. This
petition having been referred to a select committee in the
ordinary way, the defendant appeared before that com-
mittee, and gave the evidence which formed the subject of
the present proceedings. Masten' swore before the com-
mittee that he saw Mr. Andrews, the mayor of Southamp-
ton, take one Oakley, a voter, up to the poll, and heard
him say that if he would vote for the liberals he should
lose nothing by it. This statement, the learned gentleman
said, would be shown by the evidence to be untrue.
The petitions against the return and the reference to a
select committee were then proved.
The remainder of the evidence having been gone through,
The jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of
Sir F. Thesiger prayed the judgment of the court.
The defendant was then placed upon the floor of the
court, and sentence was delivered by Lord Campbell, who
said that after the deliberate trial of a jury of his country-
men, the defendant had been found guilty of wilful and
corrupt perjury. In the verdict of the jury he (Lord
Campbell) entirely agreed, and it was with regret that he
had to say that the defence which had been offered aggra-
vated the offence. It was essentially necessary that where
a crime of this sort had been committed, and was proved to
the satisfaction of the jury, a serious punishment
should be given. The sentence of the court was, that the
defendant be imprisoned in the Rouse of Correction for the
County of Middlesex for the space of two years.

respect of alleged perjury committed before the Southamp-

meat on the 101. note was in tho usual handwriting of the
prisoner.
Albert Farley, of No. 19, Haslyford-place, Kennington,
stated he had been acquainted with the prisoner for the le-t
two years, and that in the early part of May last he made
application to the prisoner for the payment of 301. owing
to a friend of his of the name of Waring. Witness pressed
the prisoner a good deal to pay him. Witness applied to
two or three times. Ile did not pay the first time ap-
plication was made to him. 'the prisoner wished the bill
to be renewed. He paid witness 51. on the 7th of May, in
gold, and aitness gave that money to Mr. Waring. On the
Monday or Tuesday following the prisoner paid the witness
151. more. It was paid in a 101. note and the rest in gold.
Witness got the note changed at Jones Loyd and Co.'s.
On cross-examination witness stated—l slo not know what
Mr. Waring's business is; he is studying conveyancing.
Mr. Waring lent the 301. through my recommendation. 1
do not know what the money was advanced fur.
Jonathan Whicker, a detective officer of the Metropolitan
Police Force, said that on the evening of the 2nd of June
he watched the prisoner, and saw him go into several
betting-houses, and that on the 17th of Jane ho took the
prisoner into custody, at his lodgings, which he searched,
and found several old racing tickets, but nothing relating
to this transaction. _ _

The prisoner said, in answer to the charg:—l leave the
cue in my solicitor's hands.
The prisoner was then committed to Newgate to take his
trial.

BOW-STREET.

A curious application was made to Mr. Hall, just before
the closing of the court. A young man, respectably dressed,
stated that he was married on Monday morning at Islington
church, and they had scarcely got out of the church when
Ms bride threw her wedding-ring in his face, declared she
would not have him, and returned home to her friends.
What was he to do? Could he not have a summons to
compel her to live with him?
Mr. Hall regretted that he had no control over the young
lady, and, as the marriage bad not been consummated, the
applicant could hardly go into the Ecclesiastical Courts for
the restitution of conjugal rights. The application was cer-
tainly a novel one. Men came to the court every day to try
and get rid of their wives, and there had been two such ap-
peals to him that very afternoon; but unfortunately they
never had a man imploring to have his wife restored to him.
