A BosToNIAN who has known all the actors of
the last forty years, tells this story of the late
Mr. Creswick, who, when he acted in Boston,
boarded in a house where several other distin-
guished actors lived: ON one Sunday morning
he became angry because his breakfast was be-
lated, and he rushed down to the kitchen and
began to berate his landlady. She was a woman
OF spirit and promptly ordered him to leave
the kitchen. On receiving an impudent answer,
she seized a large tray containing knives, forks
and dish-water and dashed the whole in bis
face. He left, without standing upon the order
of his going but went at once. The next morn
ing he summoned her before the police court
on charge of assault and hlttery. The land
lady told her story amid shouts OF laughter,
and the judge mulcted her in | cent damages
without the costs. Creswick left creStfallen,
and his brother actors gave him no sympathy.
