scenes laid in and near Dublin

wrest them from a rascally lawyer.
How he accomplishes this and wins,

cally told, and the play itself offers Mr..
Olcott excellent opportunity.

William Haywood, brother of the
deceased and executor of his will, was
also on the stand, but he gave little

daughter of the deceased, when she
was a minor, it being contended that

has lost certain rights that would have
been hers had she taken advantage of
them in time.
