111r. Stirling Coyne, who enjoys an Adelphi immortality from the
fact that he wrote Did you ever Send your Wife to Camberwell? and How to Settle Accounts with your Laundress, favours his especial theatre with a new farce, called The Tipperary Legacy; in which the chief personages are an English proprietor of Irish land, frightened to death by the " pisantry," and an actor of Hibernian character, who alarms the freeholder by assum- ing the shape of a ferocious bogtrotter. The extravagant terror of Wright, and the highly-coloured ruffianism of Bedford, are comical in the extreme. The very slight plot is merely devised to bring out the characteristics we have mentioned.
