last day of term. The court sits again on the 22nd

op behalf of Sir Roger Tichborne, plaintiff, for an order
directing . that the time for re' aining the bills
led in the causes might be extended to the
mat day- of Easter term 1870. The Vice-

by this court on the 7th of May. That order provided
that Mr. Kettlewell and Mr. Cadman should join, as
representatives of the mortgagees, in opposing the bill now
pending before the House of Lords. It was stated that
since the recent decision of the Lords Justices those gentle.
men could not now oppose the bill as representatives of
the mortgagees. Vice-Chancellor Stuart declined to
make an order, being of opinion that the application ought
to be made to the Lords Justices.

was argued on Saturday. The question was raised

hand, and Mr. Emden and another, of the
Olympic Theatre. The right to the copyright was sold in

managers of the Olympic Theatre. The case stood over.

tenants on a property adjoining the royal estates on Deeside

' A ROYAL GAMBLER.—The Russian Princess
Suwaroff, who possesses the reputation of being the
greatest female gambler in Europe, is now in Paris. Last
summer she was to be seen at Baden-Baden playing every
day for large stakes from morning till night. When the
Baden season ended she rushed off to Monaco, and she
there passed the winter in gambling incessantly. The
Monaco season ended, she is now in Paris en route for
Laden. Sometimes her losses are enormous, at another
hei winnings are very large. She is very rich, and has
been three times married, but she lives apart from her
last husband. She is still young, and very handsome. In
early youth she must have been a splendid woman. Like
all gamblers she is extremely superstitious ; sometimes
thinking that if her face be placed in a particular position,
luck will be certain ; at others, making certain signs with
her hands as the cards are being dealt out, or the roulette
ball is rolling ; at one time gravely begging people whose
faces displease her to be good enough to leave the table, at
another asking persons whose looks she likes to stand by
her side.
