OLYMPIC THEATRIL

The spirited management of this little theatre
cannot fail to secure to it the continuance of that
public favour which at present procures it the well.
merited reward of a nightly overflowing audience.
Last night it was crammed to an uncomfortable
excess, with visitants *actions to witness the produc-
tion of a new bur tette, in three am, called Zorayda,
which had been mime time announced for the first
appearance of Miss S. Boort, on this stage. This
piece, though undoubtedly new to by fir the
greater part of list night's audience would hardly
he so to many of oar reailerv, bring nothing less
thaw Mr. M.G. Lewits's comedy of The East Indian,
reduced from live acts to three, and interspersed
with songs. The Story, it will be remembered, is
line& this :—Colo gel Benuehamp having married a
termagant is separated from her by mutual agree.
111Vill, and leaves England on service for India,
isiesre he seduces an accomplished yiil, the daughter'
of en English resident of large property, and
elopes with her to Englund, where be places
her in the family of his sister, a lady of
t'phion in the fullest sense of the word,
married to a husband every way suitable, as his)
wane of Modish implies. lavers, the father Or
Zorayda, returns to England with his weelth,,e.n.,
teiguing a tale of distress in order to try the divots"!
tomse of his Nephew and niece, finds the former
(ilhalisk).wirwilling to relieve, or even to sympa
Aim with hn supposed misery, though apparently
rolling in affluence ; but from the latter, who is in
It humbler circumstances, he meets with the
most cordial reception, pecuniary succour, and as
soninces of further support to the extent of her
means, and in return he determines to settle upon her
the whole of his fortune. Accidentally encountering
the seducer of his daughter, he demands satisfaction,
and •peremp'orily fixes the time and place of a
meeting fur that purpose. But in the mean time,
Zoroyda being introduced to him tinder her easel&
eel name of Miss Mandeville, as a repentant victim
of Beanchamp's seductive arts, who is anxious
through his mediation to obtain the fiirgivene•s of
tier parent, he powerfully pourtrays to her the
agonised feelings of a father so circumstanced, and
exhorts to return immediately to her home, test she
fall ander a curse like that which he is on the
point of invoking upon his own daughter, when,
throwing aside her veil, she interrupts his purpose,
(Layovers herself to be the unhappy object of his
tint:earned denunciation, end touchingly and ener.
getically pleads fur pardon. The injured and
deeply-afflicted parent is at length overcome by
the supplications of his repentant child; and Bean.
champ, also imploring his forgiveness, and produc-
ing a certificate of his former wife's death, he joins
their hands, and prays a blessing on their union.
There are some other character., sot material to the
elucidation of the plot, but who in Goose degree
relieve it, by the introduction of some satirical
sketches of fashionable frivolity, in humble, but
too apparently studied imitation of The School for
Scandal. Zorayda, the heroine of this piece, was
the character selected for Miss S. BoOTU's intro-
duction at this Theatre; and uniting as it does the
two extremes of light and playful genteel comedy,
with the deep etid intense pathos of tragedy, it
certainly required the exertion not only of dramatic
talent of a high order to sustain it, but what is
perhaps more rare, of finished grace and delicacy in
the execution, to keep live the interest, and in some
iostances to reconcile it to the feelings of the audi-
'nice. Arduous, however, as was the undertaking,
this accomplished actress achieved it with the most
triumphant success. Noticing could exceed the
sprightly ease and playful grace of her raillery of
her fashionable acqualutance. and the pleasing air
of good humour predominating over satire in he►
suCcessful application of scandal by way of ex'.'
perimeut upou one of its most assiduous props.,
gators ; sod the impassioned fervour, and ago•
oozed emotion of her appeal and supplication to her
father, rendered it one of the most powerful efforts
or pathetic eloquence ever heard within the walls
of a theatre. Its best comment was the breathless
stillness and intense fixedness of uttentiosi into
which it hashed an audience comprising a gallery
crowded with the rudest and most tumultuous de-
rcription of company that ever entered a place of
public amusement. The rest of the characters

were supported ia a manner the most creditable to
the several performers. Mr. OXINUIIIY, in particu-
lar, in the part of Ricers, the most distinct and
fulthest removed that could he conceived from his
trueral-line of acting, astonished by the display of
n power to touch the feelings to which he could
never have been supposed equal. Miss WALPOLE
acqniited herself well as Lady Clarcand also Miss
Scorr as Mrs. Ormond; Mrs. ['Emits played
Mrs Chatterall with selinirable vivacity, and kiss
CA LEY ass on excellent wsiting.maid.
Life is Loudon tullowed, and the eccentric ad.
venture, of Jerry Hawthorn gave so impulse to
the 'laughter-loving plopensisies of the audience,
which was spiritedly prolonged by the muck trie-
vpdy of hanefraskin, which concluded the enter-
of the evening.

Madame V Ennis is iiirlivosed, and Miss BLAKE
is in supply her character iu Minas i ire London
this evening at Drury-lane. Ws hear that there
is much kaudoess in this effort, the character being
undertaken at a short notice. Miss BLAKE is the
acme lady who made so successful an appearance in
Captain Nuelseath at the ilayrwirket Theatre.

w,ret time ago two geodesists of this town, fund of the

geacy. In their way to the grounds *elected as the mane of
the morning's sport, the party started, rather unexpectedly,
a very large bare, which bounded away le fare them over bent

as they were, might rake all the bares is the district wattage
being able to horns one of them. But on gaining the rising
mimed, they were agreeably surprised to find that the sags-
Aims animals, in place of pulling different ways, had so
BMW their running, that they were visibly gaining on the

We have only to add that this fact may be implicitly relied

THE ATTORMEY.6INERAL V. /Ali mum'
COMPANY.
..Mr. SUGDEN resumed his argument of Saturday.
I Mr. Gown followed on the saute side.
I The ATTORNRY-GRNIERAL rose in support of
.Ithe information,
11 The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Before you pro-
„ceigd, Mr. Attorney-General, let me see, nos L right
las to the line of the documents. The first, as I
take it, is the charter granted to Sir Andrew Judd,
for the founding of the grammar school at Tun-
bridge; the second. the conveyance of the estates
purchased by Sir A. Judd in the parishes of Si.
Pancras and. All Saints, for the endowment of the
school to bins and has servant, Henry Fisher, in
trust for them to convey to the Skinners' Corn-
pany, as the Governors of the school; the third, the
will of Sir Andrew Judd, devising the estates to 1
the Skinners' Company for the support of the
school ; the fourth, the conveyance of the estdes
by Heury Fisher to the Skinners' Company ; the
fifth, the Act of the 14th Elizabeth, confirming the
conveyance of Fisher ; the sixth, the Act of the
31st of Elizabeth, emending and confirming the
Act of the 14th of her reign ; and the seventh, the
Act of the 43d of Elizabeth, declaring that all be.
quests to Corporations for charitable uses which
had been bequeathed previous to the passing of the
Act, should stand good."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that his Lord-
',hip was perfectly right in the line he had drawn.
and it had been his intention to have drawn his at-
tention to it, if he had not kindly anticipated him.
It was very well for his Learned Friends, Counsel
fur the Skinners' Company, to:compound all the
estates together. The estates named hi the infix-
motion were only those in the perishes of St. Pan-
cras and All Saints, in Gracechurch-street, with
that part of the estate in the parish of St. Peter's
which belonged to Sir A. Judd, all of which he had
purchased Iron' Gates and Thorogood, and his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor, by his decree, declar-
ed that they were vested in the Skinners' Company
as trustees for the support and maintensuce of the
Tunbridge Grammar School, and directed an ac-
count to he taken of the rents they had received
from the charitable estates. This was the only part
of the decree appealed against by the Defendants.
He would confine his argument to the estates par-
chased by Sir A. Judd from Messrs. Gates and
Thorogoud. He would first call the attention of
his Lordship to the charter granted by Edward VI.
to Sir A. Judd, and lie would see there was nothing
in it but for the purpose of the usaituenance sod
support of the Grammar School at Tunbridge, arid
that the Skinners' Company were made by it a cor-
poration for the purpose of becoming trustees to
the charity. Sir Andrew Judd, by the charter, was
to be Governor of the School for his lifetime, and after
his death the Skinners' Company were to succeed to
that office. His Learned Friend (Mr. Heald) argued,
that Sir A. Judd had alone by the charter the right.
to apportionete the salaries of the master and
the usher of the school ; but be (the Attorney-
General) would contend, and he hopped success-
fully, that the Skinner's Compasy had the same
tight by the charter. There was one clause in the
charter most material, that the Skinners' Company
were to hold lands to the value of 40/. per amium,
for the sole use of the.Tunbridge School ; t hen sup.
pose the estates; had been conveyed to the Skinner.'
Company in the that instance, instead of being con-
veyed to Sir A. Judd and Henry Fidler. would not
the Company be obliged to give the rents of the
estates to the school, however they might have in-
creased in value ? The relators sought not to take
money out of the carers of the Skinners' Com-
pany, but to compel them to apply the rents and
profits of the estates properly. By the Acts of
Queen Elizabeth. the 14th and 31st of her reign,
it appeared the estates were conveyed for the sole
support of the school. By the only conveyance
now in being, that of Henry Fisher, iii which it
was declared, that the Company were only trus-
tees of the school, it appeared that Sir A. Judd
died in the year 1558, and before his death
made ordinences for the regulation of the school,
and devised by his will the estates to the Skinners'
Company, in trust for the school. They applied to
Parliament fur a conveyance, because the son of
Henry Fisher set up an anterior conveyance from
his father of the estates to the eopveyance to the
Company. By the Act of the 14th of Elizabeth,
it appeared there was sufficient evidence before the
Legislature to induce them to compel a conveyance
from Fisher the son. There was a residuary clause
iu the Act, saving the rights of other persons ; this
clause was attempted to be argued by his Learned
Friends opposed to him, that it was saving the
rights of the Skinners' Company to put the surplus
rents of the estates to their own use--
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" We must stow here
this day, as I am obliged to attend elsewhere."
The Court rose at half-past one o'clock.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT,
Alomosv, NOIMIMEII 19.

COOKE V. COLLIE RIDGE.

Mr. HART stated this cone on Saturday, of which
the facts were these:--John Cooke. the Plaintiff,
wits the residuary legatee of his father, William
Cooke, deceased, and the Defendants, Collinridge
and Ca. were co-partners in trade with the and
Wm. Cooke, and had, subsequent to bin decease,
earned on the business of coach-makers in Liquor.
pand-street. 'floe object of the bill filed ty the
Plaintiff was to show, that the partnership was
not so concluded upon the decease of William
Cooke, as to deprive the residuary legatee of his
fair and full participation iu the profits and capital
of the business after his father's death. The testa-
tor, Wm. Cooke, in 1803, entered into business us
coachmaker with Thos. and James Collinridge, and
Messrs. Rowley and Mansfield. The original
agreement took place in 1803. and on the 15th
September, 1812, the partnership articles were re-
stewed fo► the term of seven years, to commence
from the 7th January, 1811. The capital (or the
trade. to be equally supplied by the partners, was
40,5551., and the profits were to be divided in
equal proportions. There was also this stipulation,
that if any one, or more, of the partners died during

.w.
~,i

-+i.~'. .

__Ask

the copartnership, his or their representatives
should, for the reminder of the term, enjoy the
same interest as the deceased would have enjoyed
during his lifetime. ft was et the same time ar-
ranged, that the capital 'should not be broken irr
upon inconveniently for the general purposes of the
business.

--„....
The— VICS-CHANcELLott asked, what stipula-
tion was made for adjusting the affairs of the ca.
partner, at the expiration of the term of seven
years ?
Mr. HART replied, that every thing was to be.
sold, and the produce equally divided. The profits
of the trade were estimated et 14,0001. a-year, or
10,0001. as had been subsequently mentioned. The
Testator, on the 22d August, 1813, met with an
accident, of which he soon after died. He made a
will on the 28th of the ...me month, by which he or-
dered. that 10,000% should be rested in the 3 per
cents. for the benefit of his wife, and the remainder
of his properly, whatever it should eventually prove,
he devised in shares of one-third each to his two ions
and one daughter. The partnership was carried on
as usual in Lipterpoild-street, until the 31st De-
cember, 1817. The Plaiistiff, one of the sons, was
employed by the firm ; Isis brother, Wm. Cooke,
was also there ; but the bitter, having married the
daughter of one of the surviving co-partnerr, was
kept in the concern ; but the Plaintiff was not so
fortunate as to retain his situation there. When
the articles of partnership had expired, the co-teirt-
nen gave Notice to the Plaintiff that they meant to
sell off the busmen, and they stated the valuators
whom they menus to employ ; lie dissented froth
their plan ; they, however, pursued it ; and, when
the sale was made, the business was transferred by
the co-partners, who became the nominal arrangers
of the transaction, to W. Cooke already mentioned.
Now he did not mean to say that the claim of
property which the Plaintiff had was at any time in
jeopardy. quite the reverse being the fact, as all
the parties were solvent ; but what he complained
of was, that the sale was, in point of fact, a transfer
of the business to Was. Cooke, in such a manner as
to deprive the Plaintiff of the full benefit which
he should have derived from his share as resi-
duary legatee, had a different mode of disposal been
adopted. lo September. 1819, the late firm stated
that they had made great exertions to collect in the
debts dye to the partuerabip ; they had collected
in 48,000/. ; and there mutinied due, 35,000/. good
debts ; 5,000/. bad ; and 9,5001. doubtful. The
whole question, however, turned upon the right of
the parties to sell as they had done. so as to give
the benefit of that sale to Wm. Cooke.
The Vica-CHANCELLOR asked, whether in the
sale any thing was set down for good will ?
Mr. HEALD (for the Defendants) replied, 11,0001.
After roam further conversation between the
Counsel, the Vice-Chancellor observed, that lie
must have the article's of partnership out of Court
to examine how far arrangements, for the disposal of
good will were made by the original parties.
Mr. 11114LD said, that in this care every thing
had been done to make the sale realise the utmost
fur all those concerned.
The case stood over until to-morrow (this day,)
that his Honour might have time to examine the pa-
pers.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR now asked Mr. Hart,
what was the nature of the decree which lie prayed ?
Mr. HART said, that he wished the Court to de-
clare that the sale was void—to direct a new sale
more conformable to the contract—and to preserve
the Plaintiff's interest entire, according to the de-
sign of the Testator.
It appeared that two out of three of the legatees
took no exception to the contract, and had express-
ed their satisfaction that it should he completed.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought that it would
be impossible fur hint to decree a sale void, though
it was a sale by the contract of which the legatees
were not bound—effected as it was with the con-
currence of the greater part of them--until lie had
sent it to the Master to ascertain whether or Hot the
property had been well and truly disposed of, with
a view to the best interests of all the parties.
Arguments of considerable length were offered
by Mr. HART and Mr. BELL, fur the Plaintiff, and
Mr. HIALD for the Defendinta, when the fus-
thee hearing was postponed till Thursday next.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Werrxvirrnt,
blosmr, Novelists N.

THE KING r. JAMES PLUCKWEI.G.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for the judg-
ment of the Court on this Defendant, cuavieted at
Maidstone before Mr. Baron Wood, of an offence
against the Quarantine Act.
Mr. Justice BEST read the minutes of the Learn-
ed Judge, taken at the trial. It appeared that the
Defendant, who was en officer of the revenue, on
board the quarantine vessel Coaragear, in Siaud-
gate Creek, had embezzled a quantity of silk and
spunge out of a vessel called the Limerick Trader,
which was performing quarantine there.
Mr. ADOLPIIUo, who was for the Defendant at
the trial, now urged an objection against the form
of the information which lie had submitted at the
trial, but was then overruled.

The COURT, tiller ro►ne consideration, thought
the objection of the Learned Counsel valid, and
directed a new trial to be had, ■nd the Defendant
to be at large on his own recognisance in the mean
time.

John Burton, tried before Mr. Baron WOOD, at
Maidstone, awl found guilty or assaulting Lundy
Dickinson, an officer of the Customs, was, on the
motion of the SOLICITJR-GIOIRRAL, brought up
for judgment.
The COURT sentenced him to be imprisoned two
months in the gaol of St. Augustine, at Canter-
bury, and enter solo recognizsuces, himself in 1001.
and two sureties in 40/. each.

Stephen &arrow and Francis Eatery, whn were
convicted at Maidstone before Mr. Baron Woou,
of attempting to bribe an officer of the Preventive
Service, named Byrus, in order to favour some
mangling transaction, were brought up for judg-

KNIGHT a. OMNI'.
This wits an action of assault. The Defendant.
had pleaded a justification.
Mr. GuarlEY slated the facts of the eine to the
Jury. The Plaintiff is driver of one of Pad-
dington stages; the f)eferidani, who resides at Pad-
dington, was a passenger in it on the evening of the
sth February last, when the asaault, which was the
siihk.et of the present anion, was committed. Tie
Plaintiff was let cut of the coach by a boy, svho.
attends to open the door, and prevent the necessity
of the coachman leaving his horses; the Defendant
refused to pay his fare, unless he was taken to his
own residence. The coachman then got down such
civilly demanded his fare, on which the Defaarla:,t
knocked him down with a violent blow on the eye.
The Plaintiff then asked for his name, but he re-
Need, at first, to give it him, though at last the
Plaintiff learnt it from • tradesman, into whose
shop they went. The Plaintiff went to a medical
man, and was obliged to h ivy leechrs to his eyes,
and be absent front his business for some days.
The Defendant now pleaded • justification ; but
how a coachman, asking for his fare, could lee
deemed obstructing the Defendant on the King's
highway, he was at a loss to know. He had ex-
pected, when he heard that the Defendant was 81!
auctioneer, to have found thn. defence was, that he
had mistaken his client for a lot of goods, mi d.
knocked him down accordingly.
Three witnesses were then called, who swore to
the facts as opened by Mr. Gnrney, although with
some difference of circumstances.

Mr. SCARLETT, for the Defendant, addressed the.
Jury, and commented on the inconsistency between
the accounts of the witnesses. He could not say
why his Learned Friend had called the Defendant
an auctioneer, except it were for the purpose of be-
ing witty ; the fact was, that the Defendant was an
architect and surveyor, and at the time was overseer
of the parish, and had never knocked a parcel of
goods down in his life, nor a man either, *except its
the present case; and after the Jury should hear
the facts he should prove, they would, he had no
doubt, think lie was justified in doing it. lii.;
client desired to be set down at his own door, as he
had been over and over again. This the coachman
refused, and at first wanted to put him down at the
Yorkaliire Stine, but he did afterwards carry him
a few doors farther, and the Defendant then said,
" If you will not carry me home I will not pay
you" (meaning to make a complaint to the coach
proprietor.) ; on which the Plaintiff refused to let
him pass (although he gave his name and address
immediately), and persisted in going before him ;
on which his client told him if he obstructed hint
he would knock him down, but that he did cot du
till the actually laid hold of his collar, on
which he knocked him down. There facts lie
should be able to prove by the evidence of • gen-
&man who was looking out of a window of the
house of Mr. Widnell, into whose shop the parties
afterwards went.
The Learned Counsel called two witnes.e.
Mr. GuawaT replied, and ',piloted tl-at there nes
no inconsistency in the evidence, but that there had
been two scuffles, and the Defendant's witneese-;
