H
appeared in the issue of the 8th June hist, and he submited a copy of the Chinese paper con- taining the libel, purporting to be a Police Court report of a case of brawing and assault between the two daughters of Mrs. McBreen and a European woman. It was alleged that the libel was written of the plaintiffs and published falsely and maliciously and with a libellous and defamatory sense and meaning, so that the character and reputation of his clients bad been exposed to contempt, and they had suffered great pain and anguish of mind. The plaintiffs claimed $10,000 damages, an Injunction to restrain the defendant from similar publications, and such further relief as the case might require,
The defendant admitted printing and publish- lng the words in Chinese, but he did not admit that the translation into English was a true and accurate one. He slao denied that he wrote, printed and published the words as set out in paragraph with the meaning as therein alleged. Further be contended that the alleged libel was a report of the proceedings in the Police Court on the hearing of a charge of voluntarily causing hurt and theft brought against the plafotiffi Paterson by Louisa Charles, published by him bona fide, without malice and in the 'public interest, as it was a matter of public concern. Defendant did not admit that he was under labi'ity to the plaintiffs in respect of the sald words, but he brought fato Court the sum of It was at the Queen's Theatre, on one very Bigo and sild that that amount was sufficient foggy night in ——, I forget the month and even tomeerplantif's claim.

There is an old story told of Mr. Irving being "struck with my talent at this time and promising that The ever had a theatre of his own he'd give me an engagement." But that is all moonstire. As a matter of fact I'm sure be never thought of me at all at that time. I was just then acting very badly, and feeling ill, casting scarcely at all for my work or a theatre or any thing belonging to a theatre. Mr. Boucicault had lately offered me an engagement in Americ on what seemed to me extraordinary terms, but I declined his offer, and after acting in two or three more plays under the Wigan management I left the stage for many years.
