DRAMA.
ADELPHI
. . •

The "real Adelphi drama" (ace the bills have it),
Gee:rites, continues to hays immense success. The bonne
is nightly filled by the regular Adelphi public, delighted to
have got back the kind of entertainment that pleases them
best, and to see their old favourites employed in their old
ways. One thing only is wanting—the presence of John
Wright. His abeene• makes a great blank—the Adelphi is
scarcely itself wittiest him.
A little pieced* circonetance called TA* Camp of Cholihmrs,
was produced last night. It was, as we expected, a mere
bide, but yet it was Lot the kind of hide
we expected. We looked for some scenes of camp-life,—
something of the " pride, pomp, and circumstance of
glorious war," mixed with military fun and frolic, and, of.
scene, a little military lovemaking. There was, indeed, a
little of this last ingredient ; but except a scene which was a
distant view of the camp, the piece bad very little reference
to it ; and the scene might have been laid anywhere else as
well as at Chobhant. Keeley enacts a retired tallowchandler,
living for retirement on Chobham-commen ; Miss Keeley is
the old gentleman's niece,—a sentimental damsel, who loves
a bold dragoon ; and Leigh Murray is the said dragoon,
who makes love with military insouciance. The man of
war makes the man of peace the subject of a string of
practical jokes, which are laughable enough, and perse-
cutes him into giving his consent to his niece's marriage
with the gallant captain. The parts were capitally acted,
and Miss Keeley sang a pretty ball d, which was encored.
The piece, in short, is not bed ; bat the camp at Chobtiam,
we think, could easily have tarnished materials fur a
jet tier.

Mr. Slale, wish whom was Mr. llieukin. stated that the
patiiiener Wall M jar Robert Frederick Rrownlow Rush-
. Brooke of Rest.brookt-park, near Bury St. Edmund',,
Suff:Alt. Ga the 117th of February, 18;4, he wa; o:azz:i
to Mies Ail 11114 Maria Evan-, dauehter of Thomas Even.,
Eeq ,of L enemata House, Arundel, Suss. ; and tiny
cuutinui cl to live together until the 2Gth of July, 1832,
when Mrs. Illushiroulte left home on • visit to her father
during the (lonlvraod race week. On the Monday fodqw-
ing Mts. Rushbrsoke left her father's, aceem;,.q:ied by h. r
' maid, with the apparent intention of returning home ; but
she do! net ilea, and it was afterwards ascertained that she
had el..ped with Captain George Nathaniel Broke,
of the royal navy, a brother of Sir Philip Broke,
Bart., and en old and intimate friend of Major
Ruslibrceke. She went to France with Captain Broke, and
the fact of her having done so was only ascertained by
Man. of a letter written by Ler maid to a fellow servant.
An action was brought, in which judgment went by de-
fault, and on a writ of inquiry before the sheriff the jury
awarded 3,0001. damages. A divorce "a mensal et thoro"
bad also been obtained in the Ecclesiastical Court. The
parties who served the citation of the Eethsiestical Court'
on Mrs. Rushhrooke, accompanied by • female servant for
the pumas of olentitying her, round Capt. Broke and her-
self living use, her as man and wife ate hotel at Marseilles ;
and one of these persons had again seen them living toge-
ther at Lyons.
The following witnesses were called:
Mr. Nisbett, clerk to Bell, Steward, and Lloyd, solicitor%
to Major Rushbrooke, produced a copy of the marriage
registry of Robert Frederick Brownlow Rushbiooke and
Albion Maria Evans, dated 17th February, 18 t 1.
/dr. Evans, of Leominster Rouse, Arundel, Suss:, father
of Mrs. Roskbrooke, was present at the marriage 17th
February, 1841. She was then 22. The marriage was with
the consent both of her parents and Major Ittiehbreoke's.
The acquaintance had been of long standing. His daugh-
ter ma entitled to some fortune of about 3501. a year i n
passion, and to one fifth of about 100,0001. on the death
of both her parents. It was settled on her to her separate
use. There was also 5001. a year jointers en Najor Rush-
brooke'r estate settled as her.

Capti;inltu;hVooTe7Tbrother of Major Rushbrooke, re-
turned to England from abroad in September, 1846, a year
and a half after his brother's marriage. Ile went abroad
immediately for three years, when he returned, and atter
that he had opportunities 01 see•in' that his brother and
his wife lived comfortably together. Captain Broke was a
visitor and old family friend of his brother's.
Ann Aspinsll, now housemaid to Miss Ilodgson, of
Sussex-square—Was housemaid at Rnshbrooke-park in
July, 1842, and for two years before. Captain Broke was a
frequent visitor. Mrs. Rushbrooke left the park on the
20th July, 18.52, it being supposed she was going on a visit
to her father. It was against Major Rusbbrooke's wish
that shs went. Witness beard that said in the house among
the servants. She never returned. Shortly after that the
establishment was reduced, about six weeks after. Wit-
t:Lie was in the habit of Peeing Captain Broke walk out
with Mrs. Rushbrooke. Never saw any familiarity be-
tween them. Major Rushbrooke was also in the habit of
walking out with his wife. They lived very comfortably
together. Captain Broke looked an older man than
Major Rushbrooke. Captain Broke and Mrs. Rushbrooke
were often alone. At these times Major Rushbrooke was
at home.

William Jolly—Was valet to Major Rushbrooke in July,
1852, having been previously five years in hie service. Mrs.
Rushbrooke was then living at Rushbrooke Perk. They
seemed to be on very friendly terms. lie heard occasion-
ally tkat they differed. Knew Captain Broke, brother of
Bir P. Broke, of Nuton. Witness accompanied Major
and Mrs. Itushbrooke on a visit to Sir Philip. Captain
Brooke was there and returned home with them. After
that Captain Breke's visits were more frequent. At first
• frequented the company of the major most, but latterly
mere that of Mrs. Rushbrooke. They drove out together
is •peny carriage. Remembered Mrs. Rushbrooke leaving
the Hall es the 26th of July, 1862. It was expected she
was to pay a visit to her family, but not so soon. She went
away unexpectedly. The major asked her to stop and go
' with him. She took her maid Rose with her,
and a good many packages. Had never seen Mrs. Rush-
brooke at the hall since. The major told him in August
het that Mrs. Rushbrooke had gone away. He was very
unhappy. When she left she was expected back in ten
days. The major told him he expected her back. Six
weeks atm, the major told him she was gone. Captain
Broke and Mrs. Rushbrooke, when be- wu at the ball,
seemed on very friendly terms. They went out by them-
selves. At those times Major Rushbrooke was about, out
@booting, &c. Never observed any familiarity between
captain Broke and Mrs. Rushbrooke. They were never
ha together after Major Rushbrooke went to bed. Wit-
INN saw a letter directed to Mrs. Rushbrookie, 111
Imindister House, by the major, put into
letter bag. Captain Broke used to come liar
often to Rushbrooke Park. He used to stay *
week or ten days. He came about every six weak.
He had not been there for about three months la*
fere Mrs. Rushbrooke left. Remembered once Captda
Broke being there when the major was dining out.
Rushbrooke and Captain Broke dined together alone;
they retired before the major returned. Captain Broke
went upstairs about the mate time as lin. Rushbrooke.
After Mrs. Rushbrooke left, her maid wrote to the cook.
Then was some ervreation among the servants about

Mrs. Bashi/ruche's having gone awaf. That was after the
major said she had gone. Oa the occasion of the major's
dining out, Captain Broke arrived on • visit that day. That
was some time before Mrs. Rushbrooke went away.
Mr. Evans, recalled—Remembered Goodwood race week
of 1852. Invited some friends, and Captain Broke among
their, and Mrs. Rushbrooke also, to stay the week with
him. She came on the 26th July. Her unmarried sister
accompanied her, as did her maid Roes. Captain Broke
arrived the same day. While they were there nothing
occurred to excite witness's suspicions. Captain Broke
came on Monday and left on Saturday. Mrs. Rushbrooke
left on the Monday following, with the apparent intention
of going home. Witness had n seen her sines. After
she left, a letter arrived from her, on 9th August.
Two letters arrived for her a day or two
after she lett, directed in Major Rushbrooke's handwriting,
which witness returned. He made no communication to
the major in c of the letter he received from his
46621ster on the ef Argot Be did not invite Major
twooke at the tim• of his daughter's visit, because

that he had received • letter from Ms daughter, and he
had had no communication with Wee Bashbrooke. He
had observed unkindness and inateentime to his wife on
the part of Melee Boakbershrs. While they were at hie
house witness did nee ens any famillealdpbetween Captain
Broke and Mrs. Rushbrooke, seehhailis raise his suspi-

tail other facts which were given in evidence, and the fol-
lowing witnesses were then called :
Jemima Fuller, examined by Mr. Pearson—l am • sister
of the plaintitf. My husband is a perfumer. I have been
married a year and a half. Beene that I lived with my
father in the lirtinsniel.-roail, in 1848. Ile has about 150/.
a year left by my mother. My sister, the plaintiff, left my
lather's hou,c iu July. 1819. We discovered that she was
in the family way. Previous to that I hail not seen the
defendant. My sister returned in August, 1849, and re-
mained there until my_ father gave up his house in the
following September. My sister and self then lived together
in Vetch's-row, and worked at the dress making. My
sister left me in January, 18.50. I did not see my sister
again until July, when I met her accidentally. She invited
me to take tea with her. I went shortly afterwards to
New Union-street, Finsbury. The defendant was there,
and my sister introduced me to the defendant as Mr. Ed-
ward., and said, " This is the gentleman I am going to get
married to shortly." He seemed to be joking and laugh-
ing, and he proposed that I and my sister should go and
buy a wedding-ring. We went to Mr. Mott's, the jeweller
in Cbeapside, to buy a ring. Several were looked at, and
he tried one on to plaintiff 'a finger. My sister said,
" Shall I have a keeper now ? " and defendant said that
would do at any time. Some time after that, my sister and
myself removed to Haberdasher's-row. 1:11ave frequently
seen the defendant at my sister's lodgings. She said there
was something that prevented their getting married just
then. We took two rooms in Haberdasher's-row. In
December, 1850, my sister had a letter from defendant. I
was present at the latter end of 1851, when some
letters were destroyed by defendant. He said
my sister ought not to have left her desk
open, for any, one to tee what she had. My sister
tried to prevent the burning of the letters. The defendant
wrote a letter, in mourning about December, 1850, speaking
of the death of his wife. He said she died about the 29th
or 30th of December. I did not know before that he had
been a married man. My sister and defendant often dis-
agreed ; it was on account of his not marrying her, ar.d she
sad she would not go on any longer in the way in which
as had been living. In April, 1851, I heard my sister say
Ibst she should go to Australia. but defendant said it was of
Mew for her to think of going there, for she would be
ascrisd shortly. I was in the room with plaintiff and de-
fendant soon after, when defendant put a gold chain and
watch round plaintiff's seek, and said it wee his wife's. He
said, "Does she not look like a lady now ? Wo'nt she be a
lady when we are married ? " Thst was the evening before
they went to Ramsgate, in June, 1851. He drew his pipe
bona his mouth, and said lo me, " We are going to be mar-
Jim, but we must keep it quiet." My sister said,
" Mr. Newton has been to get the license, but was too
late?" Defendant said, " Yes.' They went to Ramsg&te
the next day. A day or two after, I received the following
letter from the defendant:
Ramsgate, 20th June.—Dear Jemima,—This comes
With our kind love to you, hoping to find you in good
health, as it leaves us at present. We are kicking our
heels about everywhere, enjoying ourselves amazingly.
Year sister is such a devil, she will not be quiet far a
moment together—she will have it. (Laughter.) Year,
ester will be glad if you 'will come down here for a few
days ; you can have a bed in the house. I hope the cat is
dead—(laughter)—but pray take care of the bird. (Re-
sewed laughter.)"
I went to Rantsgate the next day. I found defen-
dant and plaintiff together. My sister was very cross,
' and said I might as well have stopped away. She
said they were not married, and defendant had been driving
bar off with excuses. A day or two after defendant said he
wee short of money, and must write a cheque for 101. I
have heard her ask him about being married, and he has
it off in • joke, and said " Don't bother." I stayed at
=
Ramsgate about five days. I came back with them. De-
fendant went with us to our lodgings. Defendant continued
to visit plaintiff there, and I lived there until I was mar-
ried in December, 1851. I heard him my the watch was
worth from sixteen to eighteen guineas. I have heard my
sister ask him for the chain, and he has said that one of
his daughters had it, and be could not get it from her.
M_y sister has been very ill since the marriage has gone
off. I have seen defendant's rent-book in my sister's pos-
session. I don't recollent his having said anything about
the amount of his property; bat he has said that he had
sward Masa
premtnamined by Mr. James—When I went to Rams-
pee, I thought it was to be bridesmaid. Defendant and
plastiff were living there as " Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd "
They were sleeping together. I did not know whether
they were married or not. There was no letter about ay
being bridesmaid. My sister went to lodge fn Union-street.
I have heard my sister say she first met defendant at the
Papa Exchange. I don't know that that was in Septets-
bar_ Liebe I don't know that she had had a still-boa
ebid. by a person called Edwards, before she ever knew
fishmeal. Myatt). lodged at Mr. Hatch's.
Mr. Hatch and his sister were here called in. The
vitas recognised Miss Hatch.]
I first visited my sister at Hatch's in July, 1850. Mr.
Newton was then there, and elm introduced hint to me as
Mr. Edwards. My sister had not told me that ahead has
delivered of a child months before, the father bees • peea
sea idled Edwards, a clerk in the city. She war mew
limed defendant's name to me until August, 1840. She
dli net say that she had met him only a darer two before
at the Exchange, and he had driven her hems la his joi.
Plaintiff has told me that she was taken it lam is •
destor's shop. She was far advanced in whim
as left our house in July, 1849. Bhe returned in Aup set,
and had been confined. Datil I saw Mr. Newton, in A..
gat, 1850, I had never heard his name mentioned. My
sister is between 28 and 30 years of age. Haberdasher's-
row is about 10 minutes' want from the Rosemary Branch,
near which the defendant resided. I did not leave Haber-
dasher's-row, because I was out until three o'clock in the
morning. lam the " Jemima" referred to in the letters.
The following letters were then put in and read, after
having been proved by the witness :
