THE (2UEEA'S 711 EATRE.

On Saturday a three-ad adaptation of M. Say-
don's play " Seraphine," by Mr. Dion Beueicault,
was produced here. There seems to have been
some unpleasantness between the management and
his highness, the adaptor, as the following very
singular announcement was made :—" Notice—
Mr. Boucicault has requested the management to
withdraw his name from the bills, as he does not
de.-sire- to assume the responsibility of certain altera-
tions and additions made by the performers in the
piece in his absence from all rehearsals. The alte-
rations considered necessary in the course of
the rehearsals have been retained with the full
approval of the management. —E. J. YOUNG."
Toe piece under any circumstances belongs to a
class that does not greatly please the metropolitan
play-goers, and although it is attracting all Paris
to the Gymuase, it will not have the same effect in
London. Bigamy has alteady been over-done on
the metropolitan stage, and although " Seraphine"
has many other good points about it, the play
one that will hardy pay the expense and labour of
its production. The plot in the present ir,stance
turns upon the embarrassment of a lady, who,
thinking her first husband dead, marrie: again,
and Just as her daughter, by the second in =Lige,
is verging into Wc.manhood the first husban 1, an
admiral, turns up, and then the desire of the
despairing mother is to conceal the terrible
knowledge of her second marriage from her first
husband, and to prevail upon her daughter to ba-
eome a nun, in which task she fails. Miss Herbert
and Mr. Hermann Vezin supported the principal
parts in the play, and acted splendidly. Miss 11.
Hodson, a great favourite here, also played remark-
ably well ;so did Emery and Mr. C. Wyndham.
But the tone of the drama did not suit the audience,
and therefore its success was but very partial.
There were, however, portions of the play which
called forth loud applause, and although the man
age:milt has placed it ou the stage in the mos
complete and liberal manner, its run does not pro.
mitre to be a long one.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7—(7his Day'

OLD COURT.

Francis Burke, an Irish tailor, was indicted for
unlawfully and maliciously assaulting Cornelius
Handlcy and inflicting grievious bodily harm.
Prom the evidence it appeared that the prisoner
and prosecutdr were tailurs, and that a short time
ago they met in the neighbourhoid of Smith-
field, a quarrel ensued, and a fight took place.
On the friends of the two men interfering,
the prisoner, it was asserted, hel l tho prosecutor
very tightly, and when he was separated from
Burke it was found that his lip had been bitten off.
The surgeon, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital said
marks of some rersons teeth were plainly visible in
the wound.
.A. city police-constable was called as
a witness, but his evidence went to show
that the prosecutor was not free from blame,
as he had previously seen him in company with the
prisoner, and heard him use very bad language to-
wards him. He did not think, when the men were
separated, any very severe injury had been in-
flicted.

For the prisoner it was contended that he did not
nilict the injury, but that it had been done by a
'all.

he jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Re
corder sentenced him to four months' imprisonmen
with hard labour.

NEW COURT.
The court was occupied the whole of the day
with a case of embezzlement.

The prosecution of the defendants, the manager
and proprietors of the " Deptford Spec," has been
fixed for Thursday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE'.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WANTON CRUIILTY.—Henry Jenner, a drayman, ap-
peared to answer a complaint of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with wantonly ill-using
a horse.

The defendant was seem by a constable in Davies-street
with a horse attached to a van. He was holding the horse
with his left hand and thrashing it severely for some time,
and he afterwards jobbed the horse several times on the
Lose with the butt-end of his whip—his only reason for
doing so being that, through his own carelessness, the
horse had run against another.

Mr. Tyrwhit:c in fining the defendant 405., said the de-
fendant was a paltry fellow, who because he could not put
his spite on some one he ill-used the horse.

THAMES.
AN INCORRIGIBLE POT STEALER.—Sarah Murphy, an
Irishwoman, was charged with staling a quart pot value
45., the property of Mr. Henry Page, landlord of the Coach
and Horses public-house, in High-street, Shadwell. The
prisoner went into the house with a baby she was suck-
ling. She called for half a pint of boer, and after she had
drank it quietly left the house unobserved. A quart pot
was missed directly afterward; and she was followed and
overtaken. A quart pot was found under her shawl, and
she declared some one had put it there, and that she
knew nothing at all abont it. She now protested
that she was innocent, and that she was a respectable
hard-working woman. Unfortunately for her assertion a
police-constable, No. 408 K, said she had been repeatedly
convicted of pot stealing, and oc the last occasion she was
sentenced to threo months' imprisonment and hard labour.
The Prisoner—l was innocent. Every time they swore
falsely against me. This blessed baby is as innocent us
myself.
-

Mr. Benson—The baby is not charged with robbery.
The summary convictions have not deterred you from
committing these robberies ou licensed victuallers, who
suffer greatly by this system of plunder, and you are now
committed for trial.
