lIPOILING A POINT. —Whether the rural actor
does not belong either to romance than to reality, wbo in
said to have maliciously spoilt a neat which Mr. Ma-
mead,' need ti make in Richard, by not only exclaiming,
" My lord, the Duke of Buckingham I. taken !" bet ad,l-
irg the further information, " and we're cut oil his head !"
—cannot mow be determined. There 49, h',wever, some
warrant for another stray story in connexion with this
passage. Two strolling players were acting Richard and
Catesby, at the Bullock-Smithy, or some equally els-
gent theatre. Catesby, ever eager to do well, went wrong
and missed his text. " Ily lord," he said, " the 1 Mice of
Richmond is taken!" Upon which Richard, with
humorous gravity upon his foie, steeped forward and
intimated to the house :—" If what this fellow says be
strictly true, and Richmond now be held in durance vile,
the play you see comes suddenly to end !" And nothing
could be truer then that fact, although it was delivered is
blank verse, to fashion which i• to the actor sport.
