Had Mr. Wimperis anything to do with the confidences of your family? -Not on my side at any rate.

Mr. Vachell then read the passages Lia the revue which led up to the Strong comments were made by word "Buckminser. He told the the Lord Chief Justice (Si A.

last sooner than we expected ❤ Vaudeville Theatre, London, STICY, and Capt. Buckmaster alleged that he had been libelled In a letter Mr. Wimperis wrote to Capt. Buckmaster's solicitors.

You did not think this to be a sneer upon your married life? asked

Mr. Vachell-I thought it was a sheer at me. The word "club" and "BuckminsterTM made the same

worse. Capt. "Buckmaster things

Capt. Bockmaster's case was that in "Just Fancy there appeared the following sentence, spoken by agreed that there were plenty of character named Col Drake to an- Buckmasters in the directory and had

other character:

At the club last night that cad Buckminster mentioned my wife's name in connection with yours.

He objected to the similarity of the name" Buckminster" to his ow and his solicitors wrote to Mr. Win peris requesting that the name should be altered. Mr. Wimperis replied through his secretary, who signed

the letter:

Mr. Wimperis is very sorry that tire, inclusion of the word "cad" should have led your client and others "to think he must be the person re-

By that letter Capt. Buckmaster alleged he had been libelled because the incuende was when coupled with the reference to the cad Back- mincern the play-that he was a person of low character.

The defence was that the words did not refer to Capt. Buckmaster and were in no way defamatory.

Captain Herbert Perry Chaplin, 10th Hussara, said he knew Captain Buckmaster and was so struck with the similarity of the name 'Buck rainster connected with the word "club" that he told Captain Back- master of it.

"Mr. Wimperis then gave evidence, and said the word "cad" had been used by the actor instead of "svine" which appeared in

the revue originally.

Mr. Vachell: They improved upor the author?—Yes.

Mr. Vachell: I have heard them do that with Shakespeare before now. (Laughter.)

Mr. Wimperis denied that he had Captain Buckmaster in mind when he wrote the scene. As to the letter complained of, it was written with the idea of getting a laugh. He regarded the complaint as a waste of time. “It would make an author's M.Patrick Hastings, K.C, for Capt.life intolerable," he added, "If be Buckmaster, said his client was well bad to choose for his characters known in club circles, for, besides names that were not like somebody being a member of the Guards and else's." The name "Buckminster" Mariborough Clubs, he founded a club came to his mind because of a place in Cifford-street, Piccadilly. He was of that name in the Belvoir Hunt also well known in theatrical circles country. because he was the husband of, Miss Gladys Cooper. To show the nature of
