CE UM THEA7RE.

Miss Neilson is an actress of too much talent to
be spared front the London stage, and it is a matter
of the highest gratification ttiat her benefit, which
took place last evening at the Lyceum, was not to
be, as is usually the case, an opportunity for
bidding farewell to admirers for a lengtheind
period. On the close of the Lyceum for dramatic
performances, in order to nuke roam for the " ne
Italian Opera Company, Dr. Westland Marston's
highly successful drama, " Life for Life" will be
transferred to the Adelphi, Miss Neilson still re-
taining her character of Lilian, a part she has
undoubtedly made entirely her own. On the
occasion of her benefit, Miss Neilson sel,cted
Rosalind in Shakspere's comedy " As You Like It,"
and her representation of this particularly beauti-
ful creation of the immortal dramatist has added
another very brilliant jewel to the sparkling diadem
of fame she has already triumphantly earned.
Founding her conception of the part on that of
Miss Helen Faucit, the greatest living representa-
tor of it within the last live-and-twenty years, Miss
Neilson achieved a success that must have been in
the highest degree satisfactory to those who se
warmly recognised her splendid acting in " Life for
Life." In the first portion of the comedy she
threw the utmost gentleness and pathos into
the part, whilst in the latter a more
sprightly, hilarious, and hearty forester, with
curtel axe at side, and spear iu hand, has rarely,
if ever, been represented on the stage. Her first
interview with her devoted lover, Orlando, in the
forest of Ardennes, was a most charming speci-
men of dramatic art ; tier remedy for the effectual
cure for love was given with immense effect, and
her reading of the celebrated lines on time, in the
was exquisite ; iu flue, to sum up our

This case came on a wr:t of error to quash the convic
t:.in of Madame Rachel, who, it will be remembered, was
tried before Mr. Commissioner tier at Ilse Old Bailey, cou-
♦.cted, and sentenced to five yours' penal servitudo_for her
muds ui»u Mrs. Borrodailo.

writ

if error differin

Mr. Mellish said that this was a cL
from those which usually come before the Court, because it
did not depend upon the indictment or the finding of the '
jury, hut entirely upon the constitution of the Court before
whom it was tried. The act under which the Criminal
Court was constituted made it imperative Hilt two judges
should preside at the trials and determiue them. Three
questioLs arose The first and princip:d one wac,
whether the same two judges should net sit throughout
a trial.

The C,nrt thvy were of opinion that the Criminal
Court eiuld d.vt itself, crud therefore Mr. Commissioner
Kerr had not been superseded by ally statutory enactment.
They would, however, reserve the point as to whether he
could sit as Judge of the Sheriff's Court.
