It appears that M. Sci:be had made an arrangement with a bookseller named Pollet, to sell birn all the pieces he might write, for 200 francs each. This arrangement continued for some time; and as M. Scribe's plays became popular, the bookseller found it a very profitable speculation. He at length, however, died ; and M. Scribe, finding he cotod get a great der' more

money for his works, made an engagement with another bookseller ; and the daughter of M. Pullet brought an action against M. Scrilse in con- sequence, to compel him to give her the Manuscript of the last piece he had written, called Salvoisy, ou l'Atnoureux de la Reinc, on payment of

The 'Tribune' decided in favour of M. Scribe, and condemned Mlle. Pullet in the costs.
