MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Lefore Mr. Serjeant Dowling.)

Frederick Crump and Ricbani Mattison surrendered to
their bail o an indictment charging them with stealing •
small quantity of cooked meat and some biscuits, the
prorertof the Westminster Buildings Co-operative Club.
Mr. Montague Williams prosecuted ; Mr. Taylor de-
fended Cramp, and Mr. Lewis Ingram the prisoner

John Ilyland said he was a member of the Co operative
Stores, Westminster-buildings, Tye-street, Westminster.
For four or five months they had had a deficiency in their
stock. The books were examined and found correct. The
secretary had retired, and a store-keeper had been die.
chsigt:d• .

Andrew Wm. Glynn said he was secretary and store-
beeper of the club, and lived at No. 1, North Wing, B flat.
He was employed to watch the store-house on the night of
Friday, the 2Sth June. He wee in the shop between
11 and 12 o'clock, and after watching about three-quarters
of an hour the door opened from the club room into the
store, and the prisoner Mallison came in from the club
keeper's room. Crump was the club keeper. Mallison
walked over to the counter where there was a dish of
boiled meat, some of which he took and then turned to
where the cheese was, and afterwards to the bread. While
he was there the prisoner Crump came to the same door
and whispered, " Here, in this corner the biscuits are
kept," and he saw him (Crump), stretch his hand over and
take a handful, and then went into the club keeper's
room, and Mallison went in after him. He opened the
door and came into the store a second time and went over
to the same shelves, but he (witness) could not say
whether he took anything, as having a cold he coughed
when Mallison left and spoke to Crump in the club room.
Ho (witness) then left and communicated with Mr.
Hyland. Manson was a member of the club, and also a
shareholder.

John Hyland, recalled, said he went back with Glynn a
little before 1 o'clock and charged Crump with the offence.
Crump was a member, but not • shareholder ; members of
the club were not necessarily shareholders. Mallison had
held office, and was then an officer. He was in charge of
the store about three weeks, during the illness of the then
storekeeper. The deficiency was tint discovered about six
months ago, during another secretaryship.
Mr. Ingram objected thatidallison being a shareholder,
the indictment must fail on the ground that • man
cannot rob his own partner.
The Judge overruled the objection, and the jury found
both prisoners Guilty.
Mr. Montague Williams said that inconsequence of these
peculation the society had been brought to a state of
bankruptcy, and was in fact now winding up. It had been
going on for the last six months, and innocent men had
been discharged under the suspicion that they were the
guilty parties. An attempt had been made to shift the
blame on to innocent shoulders, which he thought made
the case worse.
Three months' imprisonment.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10,

Reform this session has naturally wakened in count-
leas bosoms. The opponents of reform have had
• hard and weary time of it lately. They have
had every hope blighted one after another. All the
checks and drawbacks on which they relied are gone. Now
at last they have one triumph, and it seems as if this
would reconcile them to their defeat. It is not perhaps to
be regretted that an experiment, even if founded on •
wrong principle, should be tried on a very small scale.
when it conciliates the Lords, appeases the opponents of
reform, and carries out the wishes of many reformers. No
political party will lose or gain by it ; or if there is any
I loss, it will not be on the liberal side.
The question of most interest to Germany at the present
moment, says the Chronicle, is the approaching interview at
Salzburg. The fact that such • visit should be paid is a
species of diplomatic defeat for the Prussian government.
It is easier, however, to recognise the possible importance
of the meeting of the Emperors than to predict the combi-
nations which will ensue from it. Austria's interest in
securing the support of France is obvious enough. She
need, it especially against Russia, whose dealings with the
Pan-Slavonic agitation are becoming increasingly dangerous
to the unity of the Austrian empire. But France will no
doubt set a high price on her aid, and it remains to be
seen whether the friendly neutrality, which is all that it
suits Austria's purpose to offer, will prove a sufficiently
high bid. For the present Baron Bout's efforts will be
directed, as in the case of Luxemburg, to the postpone-
ment of a Franco-Prussian war.

SHOCKING MURDER OF A CHILD.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

- -
This morning Mr. Humphreys, Middlesex Ls
coroner, held an inquiry at the Spotted Dog tavern, as
Poplar, relative to the supposed murder of a new-born es
male child. whose body had been found, frightfully in.
jured, in the Thames.
Evidence having been given of the finding of the body 84
of the deceased, sewn up in a rush basket, floating in the IN
Thames, near Millwall,
Dr. Richard Tabbott, of Limehousc, said that he ill
examined the body, and found it to be that of a 1(
very large, fully developed male child. It was II
wrapped up in a petticoat, part of a fine damask table
cloth, and a linen handkerchief, initialled "K. E. B."
There was the mark of a severe blow on the right
side of the head ; the nose was smashed in, and the
right orbit detached and fractured. Under the skin he
found blood effused, showing. beyond question that the
injuries had been inflicted during life, and the frontal bone
was quite crushed in. A fall could not have produced the
injunes; repeated blows had apparently been inflicted, and
he had no doubt that the child had been murdered. The
lungs were fully inflated, and the child had certainly
breathed, but he could not undertake to say that before
the blows which terminated life were inflicted the child I
had, in the legal sense, complete separate existence.
The Coroner, in summing up, said that as it could not I
be proved that the child had what was in law defined as
an independent existence, it would be necessary to return
an open verdict, and the police could follow up the matter
if any clue could be found.
The jury retuned a verdict " That deceased was found I
dead in the river, but under what circumstances it came
by its death there was not sufficient evidence to prove."

THE LIEERAL REFORM POLICY.

As.suaiing that the plan of proceeding by resolu-
tions is adopted, and putting aside as having a factious
look, the method of negativing the resolutions altogether.
the Valle Naos submits that the two first might pass
without a word of discussion, and out of the 13 there are
seven on which, with a mingle word of comment from the
leader of the opposition to the effect that assent to principle
does not mean acceptance of unknown details, not a word
of debate seems necessary before proceeding to vote.
Wiest they contain of good or bad will be contained in
the practical machinery for putting them in force. But
the remaining resolutions, after this winnowing, cannot
be so easily dealt with. In these cases the form of pro-
cedure must be by amendments so conceived as either to
express the opinion of the house definitively, or to with-
hold its opinion altogether. It will be from the leaders
and the body of the liberal party, in their deliberations on
Tuesday next, to decide which of these courses is the best
dculated to secure a prospect of early and useful legisla-
tion.
London, England, 1867-02-21

AMERIC.IN LEGISLATION.

Protection, banished from the Old World, says the
Tim,s, has found rest in the New, and 30,000,000 of our
race ere there nestled under her wings. Under the existing
tariff every article of foreign manufacture is taxed at the
port from 50 to 80 per cent. Everything made by British
hands, or any hands not American, is only allowed to
enter the United States on the condition of paying to their
treasury either half or three-quarters as much as it has
paid altogether to producer, manufacturer, merchant,
ship and crew, importer, and everybody concerned in
its making and bringing. If any gentleman, or lady, or
labourer happens to prefer English material or Eng-
lish make to that of their own country, they have to pay
for their choice by an additional cost which reallyis beyond
calculation or estimate. In fact, the cost of the article is
often more than doubled by the operation of the tariff.
But this is not enough. The new Tariff Bill now in Con-
gress, and sent hack by the Senate to the House of Repre-
sentatives with amendments in the protectionist direction,
proposes to raise these exorbitant duties fifty per cent.,
thus bringing the average import duty to a hundred per
cent. on the value. The industrious and rising
States of the far West are the sufferers, and a
whole twain of evils must be looked for. Look-
ing a little forward, we should find whole cities de-
pendent on enormous differential duties and liable to col-
lapse in s day on their reduction. Then come smuggling,
officialcorruption, illicit manufactures, and the establishing
of classes of men that will live without law. The
Americans are reviving, far beyond the dictation of neces-
sity, and in the interest of private citizens, the exactions,
the extortion., the taxes, tolls, fines, benevolences, and
all the fiscal robberies of old Europe. Yet they will not
see that they are only repeating old enors to entail the
' old penalties.
The Daily News notices a late gathering of Southern
politicians at Washington, which has resulted in the
adoption of a resolution to be proposed by the governors
of the Southern states to their respective legislatures,
embodying a new version of the constitutional amend-
ment, and amending the constitution of the states. The
proposal is a sign of returning good sense on the part of
the South ; but we have as yet no means of judging how
far such a modification of the amendment would be
acceptable at the North. Our fear is that it is too late.
The republican party are, however, somewhat divided as
to the step to take next, and in the hesitation which
results from this division this compromise, if speedily
offered, may have a chance. It will come much more
acceptably as a direct offer from the South than as a sug-
gestion from Mr. Johnson, and if made with cordiality,
unanimity, and good faith, before Congress has committed
itself to a snore radical policy, may not be without its
influence on the future settlement.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, FEB. 20.

The semi-official ProdincialCorrespondence of this
evening says : " The result of the elections for the
North German parliament has surpassed the hopes
of the Prussian government. In the old provinces
the government has a majority of nearly two-
thirds of the votes. Prince Frederick Charles has
accepted his election. The return of Baron Rothe-
child for Frankfort is a proof of the conciliatory
attitude of that city. In reply to a deputation
which recently waited on the King from the inha-
bitants of Frankfort, his Majesty promised that
that city's future relations should be reconsidered,
and that it should not continue to support greater
burdens than could be borne without prejudice to
the welfare of the citizens."

ration of the Hungarian constitution. In the,
province of the military frontier public opinion is
in favour of the union of Croatia with Hungary.
It is asserted that the Emperor will shortly ar-
rive here, and will receive, at Buda, the members
of the Diet deputed to thank his Majesty for the
restoration of the constitution.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BRNCH.-FEB. 20.

After Term Nisi Prius sittings et GuildhslL—(Before Mr.
Justice Lush and Common Juries.)
MITCHILL Y. LACEY.

This was an action to recover damages for personal in.
juries of • novel character received through the alleged
negligence of the defendant's servant.
Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. T. Atkinson were
counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Prentice, Q.C., was counsel
for the defendant.
_

The plaintiff is a foreman tailor, and the defendant is
the proprietor of Turkish baths in the neighbourhood of
Whiteehspel._

The plaintiff said he had never before been in a Turkish
bath. On the day in question be went to the defendant's
baths, and after some delay he was shown by the at-
tendant into the warm room, where he laid down on a
wooden couch. After an interval of 20 minutes the at-
tendant returned, and gave him a pair of wooden shoes
and desired him to follow him into the hot room. The
bricks were so hot that he could not put his feet on them ;
he sat down as the attendant desired him, and
the former left. He returned in about ten minutes,
when plaintiff told him he felt very faint. The at-
tendant replied, " Oh, people do. I will fetch you a
glass of water, and that will make you all right."
During his absence plaintiff felt very faint, and
looked about for the shoes, in order to get out of the room,
but he could not find them. He became 11/1001111:101111, and
when he recovered he found himself removed to the first
room, and the attendant wee pouring vinegar, or something
like it, down his throat. He felt a pain down his right
side, and it appeared as if it had been regularly roasted—
the skin had a crusty appearance. He said he was dread-
fully burned. The attendant rubbed it, and in doing so the
skin came off his buttocks. No one belonging to the
baths would fetch a surgeon but plaintiff's cousin, who
was there, went for one, and he was ultimately taken to
his aunt's. Whilst his cousin was absent the attendant
persuaded him to get into • tepid bath as it would make
him all right. The pain almost made him mad. Twenty.
nine weeks elapsed before the wounds were entirely healed.
The negligence charged was the want of proper attendance,
and his being placed in too hot a room.
The defence was that every care was taken of the plain-
tiff, and that, after falling, he was removed to a cooler
atmosphere in fifteen minutes. It was whilst the assistant
was handing the plaintiff the water that he fell and
knocked the former down. It was further contended that
the plaintiff should have consulted a medical man before
taking a Turkish bath.
The jury ultimately returned • verdict for the de-
fendant.

ACTIWEITIES.

A resolution on this subject was brought forward by Mr.
FALLows, of Middl . It was us follows :
" That the government be as ed to introduce a bill in the
next session to empower the Loan Commissioners of Public
Works, on the recommendation of the Board of Trade,
to make advances to harbour authorities for the purpose of
extinguishing their existing debts ; such advances to be
repaid by instalments, including principal and interest, and
to extend over a period not exceeding fifty years."
Mr. WHITWM, of Kendall, seconded the motion.
It was suggested that the words " with the view of re.
ducing the charges on shipping " aliould be added to
the resolution.

The wooer isdopted the suggestion, and the resolution
in its amended form was agreed to unanimously.

INSPECTION_OFIIIIIPPING AT SEAPORTS.

Mr. ALLitungs, of Newcastle, propoeed the following
resolution :—" That as there is reason to believe
that the enormous losses and casualties at ,ea are
frequently owing to vessels being sent out in an
unseaworthy manner, inefficiently equipped or over-
laden, and that in many oases the disaster, may be
traced to incompetency on the part of those in command,
it is expedient to urge upon the Board of Tride the desira-
bility of an inspector of shipping being appointed at the
principal porta of Great Britain and Ireland, whose duty
it shall be periodically to examine such vessels as bold
no certificate of class from either the London ur Liverpool
Lloyds' in England, or the French Veritm,. :aid to issue
under his hand a certificate of seaworthiness of such vessels,
with whom the possession of such certificate shall be cone
pulsory, wider penalties, on default, as are imposed by
section 3rd of the Merchant Shipping Act upon owners
of passenger steamers. It m also expedient that to
every local marine board a legal functionary shall
be attached, to conduct oil behalf of the government
inquiries into losses at sea (there being a manifest nobs.
',coition on the part of private individual, to undertake
such inquiries), and finally, that all masters engaged in
home carrying trade should be obliged to pass an eXaMilli•
tion, and to obtain a certificate of competency in the
same manner as those engaged in the house passenger and
other trades."

The resolution having been seconded,
Mr. Weisr, of Hull, moved an amendment to the effect
that the consideration of the question be postponed.
On a division, the amendment was curried by a large
majority.

ALHAMBRA. —A new comic ballet of action has
been produced at this hones under the title of " The
Merry Devil of Ntirnberg," which serves to show the ex.
traordinary pantomimic talent and activity of Mr. F.
Evans, a new performer, of the Flexmore and Wieland
type. It is excellently put upon the stage. The Brigand
Ballet and the Fairy Ballet, with Caloott's magnificent

is not one of the least of the merits of this large theatre

ILLNESS OF COUNT BISMARCK.
BERLIN, Fre. 20.

Count Bismarck has for some days been unwell,
and is now confined to his room. The accumula-
tion of state affairs, with which he has recently
been occupied, has occasioned a return of the
nervous and rheumatic attack from which he pre-
viously suffered.

AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR ON THE EASTERN
QUESTION.
BRUSSELS, FIB. 20.

The Indfpendance Beige of today publishes a
circular note, addressed by Baron Beust to the
great Powers on the Eastern question. In this
despatch Baron Boost attaches the highest im-
portance to the pacification of the disaffected pro-
vinces of Turkey. Re states that Austria has
advised the Porte to carry out the evacuation of
the Servian fortresses, being convinced that Eng-
land and France share the opinions of Austria on
this subject. Austria has taken no step with
regard to Oandia, believing that island to be placed
by its geographical position beyond Austria's legi-
timate sphere of action. The Austrian govern-
ment has opened negotiations with France, and
has broached a proposal for revising the stipula-
tions of 1856. Baron Bewst considers it indis-
pensable to obtain the co-operation of Russia by
annulling the restrictions imposed on that Power
by the treaty of Paris.

SPAIN.

The following proclamation was posted in all the
public places of Madrid on the 16th inst.:
Don Juan de Is Pestle* Count de Cheste, Captain-Ge-
neral of Castile, notifies as follows :
The exemplary punishment recently indicted on persons
guiltyof clandestine publicationanot having been sufficient
to prevent a repetition of the offence ; and being resolved,
as long as I possess the exceptional powers con-
ferred on me by the state of siege, to spare
no pains to extirpate, at a single blow, those
vile publications which are intended to injure, to dis-
credit, and destroy the holiest, most respected, cherished
and honoured institutions of the Spanish people, to relax
the discipline of the army, and to foment conspiracy
against the public safety—l declare that I will inflict the
punishment of death-1, on any person who shall edit,
write, or print clandestine papers against religion, the
Queen, her dynasty, public order, the security of the State,
or the obedience of the army ; 2, on any person who shall
aid intellectually, materially, or pecuniarily in the execu-
tion of such publications. Every person caught in the
fact will be carried before a court-martial, which will at
Once proceed to pass sentence on the prisoner conformable
to the tenor of this proclamation.
Madrid, Feb. 15, 1867. Cue-TE.
A letter from Madrid of the 17th says :

The Lando of yesterday has not much frightened the
population. It has been received with profound indif-
ference. Its matter and form has been condemned. The
small amount of emotion which it has produced is very
surprising, and is attributed to the profound conviction
of the population that the ministry itself will go to pieces
when it shall have exhausted all the arms in the arsenal
of its important rage.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM ova ow CORRUPONDENT.)

PARIS, WEDNISDAT EVENING.
In the Corps Legislatif yesterday, the opposition
endeavoured to establish the precedent that de-
puties have the right to present their demand for
internellations publicly ; whether they succeeded
or not I can scarcely say. For this time, at any
rate, the object of the two interpellations pre-
sented is made known by the report of the sitting,
but Count Walewski tried hard to impress upon
members that presentation of interpellations should
be by rights a hole-and-corner proceeding. On Vis-
count Lanjuinais stating that he desired to present
an interpellation on the subject of themodifications
made in the decree of November 24, 1860, M.
Walev:ski said it uas not " necessary " to present
interpellations publicly, but that they " might
be" communicated privately to him. Subse-
quently, when M. Picard presented an interpella-
tion of the violation of the secresy of letters, M.
Walewski said more positively than before that
such motions "ought to be" handed in to him ; and,
in answer to an observation of M. Bethinont, he
denied having said that there were two modes of
presenting interpellations, and insisted that
the only right way was the private one.
Nevertheless the public way was adopted in this
instance, and I think the precedent will be fol-
lowed, although no doubt the spirit of the im-
perial conception was that not a word should be
said publicly without the consent of four bureaux.
The Aoenir National says of the proposed Press
law :

The government has done a thing which we should have
thought impossible. The decree of Feb. 17, 1852, made ns
regret the laws of September, but now the new law makes
us regret the decree of 1852, issued at a moment when the
coop d'etal regime of December 2 was in full bloom. The
worst laws of the restoration are outdone.

ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OP COMMERCE.

The third and hat sitting of the members of
the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United
Kingdom took place this morning at the Westminster
Palace Hotel, Mr. SAIIPriON S. LLorii in the chair.

ALTERATION IN BILLS OF LADING.
Mr. Arurnaon, of Hull, moved the following rem..
lution on this subject :—" That it be a recommenda-
tion from the Associated Chambers to all ship-
pers to English colonies and foreign porta, and to
all masters of vessels, that on signing bills of
lading the same should be numbered in a similar
manner to bills of exchange (being designated as
first, second, third, kn.), and that the first bill of
lading should be looked upon as the primary document
upon which the receiver of the goods is to act, and which
should be the bill of lading for reindorsement when the
gouda are shipped to order."
Mr. HEYMANN, of Nottingham, seconded the resolution,
and it was carried.

MIDDLESEX' SESSION&

(Before Kr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)

Hagar Berndt, who pleaded guilty on Tuesday to an
indictment charging her with stealing three diamond
studs and other articles, value 821.. the property of Na-
veagre DeeselbeY, was again placed at the bar.
Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
Montague Williams watched the case for Mr. Van Preset.
This case was brought before the court on Tuesday,
I when comments were made upon the conduct of Mr. Van
Prasgh, in purchasing the diamonds, andall the witnesses
were required to be in attendance yesterday.
A good deal of additional evidence was gone into, and it
was alleged that the diamonds bought by Mr. Van Praagh
were not those which had belonged to the prosecutor.
Mr. Montague Williams said his client did not shrink
from inquiry, and had afforded every information in his
power.
The Assistant Judge--It is perfectly clear that Mr.
Van Praagh purchased these articles without any other
questions than asking the woman for her name and
address. It has been said that other diamonds have been
stolen, but there have been none sold to Mr. Van Prasgh
but upon this occasion.
After further evidence had been given,
The Assistant Judge said—Acting on the part of the
public, we are bound to discourage persons who buy the
produce of robberies. If it is necessary to proceed in this
use, the funds of the county will assist you, Mr. Lewis,
for the money of the county cannot be better employed
than in seeing that justice is done. I will not pass sen-
tence on this woman, and she must be brought up again
next session.

TENANT RIGHT IN IRELAND.

Lord NAlifiTin movingforfea ;e to bring in a bill to
promote the improvement of land by occupying tenants
in Ireland, gave a sketch of the many previous at-
tempts which had been made to improve the relations
between landlord and tenant in that country, observing
that the failure of those attempts was not attributable
to any indisposition on the part of the house to deal
with the subject, but to the enormous difficulties

4HE REGIUS PROFESSORSHIP OF GRERIC.-lt
be recollected that the vacancy in this professorship
spa caused by the resignation of the present master of
Trinity College, Dr. Thompson, and that four candidates
Iposented themselves to fill the vacancy, viz., Dr. Ken-
nedy, head master of Shrewsbury School, of St. John',
Collfte ; the Rev. Richard °billet*, of Trinity College ;
Mx. Cope, of Trinity College; and Mr. Holmes, now of
Clare College, but formerly of St. John's. In accordance
with the statutes, the expounding of certain theses by the
several candidates took place on Friday and Saturday last,
said to-day the electors (the members of the council of the
senate) attempted to decide what was evidently a very
difficult question—the relative merits of the candidates.
They separated without coming to a decision, and it is now
a moot point whether the actual appointment will not
have to be left in the hands of the Chancellor of the
University.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Arthur Cooper, 34, publican, was indicted for stealing
promissory note for the p.iyment of 2.5/., the property of
John Wilson.

This was rather a curious case, and the facts appeared
to be that the prisoner was a licensed victualler, and kept
the Barley Mow, in Cannonetreeteoad, Ratcliff, and on
the 7th of February a gentleman named John Wilson went
to the prisoner's house, and presented a promissory note
for 251., payable to the order of Mies Fowls, and
dated Decemba, 1866. The gentleman was requested to
go and present this bill by Mr. Henderson, of Tottenham-
courteroad, who was agent to Miss Fowle, to whom the
bill was payable. After some observations had passed be-
tween Mr. Wilson and the prisoner in reference to the
note and the time that would be allowed for payment, the
prisoner eked to look at the note, which wail handed to
him. The prisoner looked at the note for • minute,
and then went towards a back room, where there was
a fire, and as be was in the act of putting it into the
fire, Mr. Wilson told him to hold hard, for if he did any-
thing to it he must put up with the consequences. The
prisoner, however, disregarded this warning, took up the
poker, and forced the note into the fire, and it was entirely
consumed. For this offence he was given into custody,
and the prisoner also sent a very offensive letter to Miss
Fowls, aggravating his offence.
Mr. Collins, for the prosecution, said, as the prisoner
had paid the money, he should offer no evidence against
him.

Mr. Metcalfe, for the prisoner, said he had no felonious
intention, and what hail been done was done in a moment
of passion, when the prisoner was hardly premed for pay-
ment of the money.
The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the
prisoner was discharged.

Thomas Garner, living in flaiToverertreet, Hanover-

Suferintendent Dunlen, of the Great Western Com-
pany s police, said—On Saturday night the prisoner was
found about half a mile down the line. Being a stranger,
he had no business there. lie was drank, sitting on a
switch, and had shifted the point.. A train went out
and got on to the wrong line. He did not think the prisoner
had done it purposely, as his sitting on the handle might
have done it. It was fortunate for the prisoner that an
up-train had not come in, or he must have been killed.
Prisoner said he was not aware of how he got into
such a poeition.
Mr. D'Hyncourt ordered the prisoner to pay the drunk-
ard's fine of ss.

OLYMPIC.

A new farce, probably of German origin, called
Alittrociolui Criminal, was produced at this house last
nit at a very late hour. The plot is incoherent, and the
chit character, though well played by Mr. John Clayton,
requires the unequalled vivacity and volubility of Mr.
Charles Mathews to snake it effective. Two more revivals
of old Lyceum pieces, Laraler and A Comical Countess,
are underlined at this theatre.
