houses. The presence of Mr Bigwood in the theatre naturally served to deepen public interest. The drama of real life stood as a set-off against the gaiety of the stage. THE SENSATIONAL SEQUEL. THE ACTION SETTLED. What promised t& be one of ' the most sensational cases of breach of promise heard in our courts has been settled (reports the Australian Star). Miss Ivy Salvin, it will be recalled, issued a writ against Mr Percy Plantaganet Bigwood (Miss Carrie Moore's husband), claiming £500Q for breach of promise. At the outset both parties were determined to fight" the case out in the courts, but to-day a settlement was announced. Mr Arthur Decry, Mr Bigwood's solicitor, stated on the afternoon of the sth. that a settlement had been effected, which was satisfactory not only to his client, but to Miss Salvin. Mr Decry explained that it was the original intention of Mr Bigwood to fight the case out in the courts, but urgent business in England would not permit his remaining in Australia to do so. Mr Bigwood would sail tor England almost immediately. When seen by a Star reporter, Mr Bigwood confirmed Mr Deery's statement that a settlement had been arrived at. ■ " Is it a fact that you intend tot go to England almost immediately?": "Yes," rejoined Mr Bigwood; "it is my intention to, return with as little delay as possible." "The suit is now definitely settled?" "Yes," was the reply. MISS SALVIN INTERVIEWED. Miss Ivy Salvin, looking much satisfied, was interviewed by a Star representative. *' Is it a fact that the breach of promise action is settled?" " Yes,-" she replied. ( " From whom did the overtures for a settlement emanate?" '■ , ' "Mr Bigwood." ; " Did you and Mr Bigwood meet to-day?" " Yes. We met at Mr J. J. Carroll's office this morning." " How long did the interview last?" "Oh, I should think about five or ten minutes." " Did you get all that you de'sired?/' • t \. • "Yes," she smilingly replied, " I practically dictated, terms to him." " How about the impounded motorcar?" ■ <• " That will revert to me." | "Then, I take it, you are thoroughly satisfied with the agreement?" ' " Thoroughly." , ■ " Could you tell- me the exact amount of settlement?" . "No, I am not at liberty to disclose the terms of settlement." "Did you hear that Mr Bigwood was about to return to England almost immediately?" _, " Perhaps he is." j :' When do you intend leaving Sydney?" "I'm not quite decided. I w!l most probably return to Melbourne in a few days." WHAT MISS SALVIN GETS. Although Mr J. J. Carroll 'and MiArthur Decry, solicitors for 'the parties, declined to disclose, the terms of settlement, it is gleaned from a reliable source (says The Star) that VALAZE is its own best advertisement.
