Even after the initial production of Trial by Jury, however, Carte continued to produce continental operetta, touring in the summer of 1876 with a repertoire consisting of English adaptations of French opera bouffe ( Offenbach ’ s La Périchole, and La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein, Lecocq's La fille de Madame Angot and Léon Vasseur's La Timbale d ' argent ), paired with two one-act English after-pieces ( Happy Hampstead and Trial by Jury ).

Carte acted as the musical director of this travelling company that included W. H.

Denny.
