To such persons as have before them the attack on the County Fire Ujice, under the signature of Cocain, sod the reply of a PLAIN DiALAR, it will be unnecessary to nonce the flippant qoibbling article, beaded " AILITMNITICAL DIVVICULTINI." Fur the satisfaction of others, however, and in sup po:t of the assertion made last summer. that the COUNTY Flag Orrice bad iacreased beyond any otker Wee he the kingdom, 1 quote th e Stamp Office Barra* for the year 1920 (the year preceding that statement), and for the ear 1817, as they regard the COUNTY Vtas Orrice an d the late Pioawics Union, the only office which it is pretended has vied with the COUNTY Flan Orrice in respect to increase of business upon an aver• age of years.

If a large increase of business were procured by the Norwich Insurers in 1921, it is not wonderful, consider ing Me vast espame iacurred to procure it—their cap tieatiaglati of wealth mid profit, their ;tedium butina tiVpava Okla, — hills. in& lidWlfteiNnte.'tud above all, their wimulas tmAgehts to slat themselves, by giving them ten per cent. out of the premium, which is double the usual commission allowed by the Counvir and other principal offices. What was the effect of all this? Before the rear was ended the cowers woe reined and fluidly dweeleedi I Here the "MORAL DIFFICULT IES" of the Nortriei appear insurmountable.' They . had told ads lightfial tale of prosperity ; but, upon thew heist charged with fraud in the Court of Chancery. they told an oppo site story; they then pleaded "great distress;" loam mid diftrences had determined them to refuse emotion ing the policies. This plea allowed. and the storm blows over for g while, they revive the delightful tale of prosperity. and bespatter every one who retain* them of their hoeing preciously sworn the direct reverse. But, as the plea of distress was given upon oath, subject to the penalties of perjury. and the song of prosperity is only subject to the troable of writing, and the ex pense of printing. which the Norwich usurers do not seem much to regard, it is excusable of the two to prefer their statement given upon oath, and to believe in their distress. The only question after all for the public to consider in effecting insurances, is tot which Fire Ojlce gets most business, but which does it butt Dr. Solomon, no doubt, procured more patinas than Drs. Bailey. Halford, &c. all put together. Bat it is not quite cu. taro that the patients of the first doctor were is the *Vest hands. Using similar means to the learned De. Solomon, the Norwich insurers procured a great in crease of insurances last year ; but, before the year was out, the Society was estinguished, and the members hi Chancery. The petty v exation expressed at the uninterrupted h ar mony which has always prevailed at the numerously attended Courtssif Directors, and the U 1 Meetings of the Couxvv YIRI OFFICE. is natural enough from persons who are notorious for inceseant disputes and law suits with each other and with every body. The assertion. that " the County Fire Office actually made a canvass, house by house, through the metropo , lis," is audacioualy repeated. It is wholly false. That disreputable expedient was used by the Norwich insurers some years bach, and until Mar concern was driven from the metropolis. Their corps of canvassers then tendered their services to the Cociavv Flag OFFICE. but were refused employ ment. The three important questions put to Mr. Iltoreout, on the dissolution of the Norwich Union Society, it is said, " he could very easily answer, but be will not;"— " but he sannot," might have been said t and, if I have occasion to resume my pen, I may perhaps state why.

His Learned Friend bad told them mach of the poverty of his client; he (Mr. Serjeant Bullock) would add, that the poverty was still in vi gour. and that he had no more ability to pay the el penses of this action. than bad any pauper who died in Lancaster workhouse. His Learned Friend had then alluded to the proceedings at Oldham, and dot scribed them as having been abortive. What wp meant by that allusion be could not tell, as it was to• tally irrelevant. if the plaintiff was dissatisfied with these proceedings, he might have attempted others. as is that case he must hare been reimbursed his sera. ma by the county.

It had dropped, almost is it were by accideut, from one of the witnesses, that he was a primulas batter at Middleton and that was ail the informatioo about him which his Lordship would find epos his motes. His Leaned Friend had stated, with much gravity, that Redford, the pleintiff, was a poor man, who had received a wound which had kept him; three months from his work. and from which he ba d not even yet recovered. Bat had this wound bees proved by any medical Man ? sad any surgeon been Galled who bad ever dressed it ? The evideacs of Prestwick, who was a Surgeon at White CMS.

There was even a female called, who said she had dressed a dosed wended men; but it did not appear that she bad poured either ohm or oil into the wounds of this individual.

On the hypothesis then, would you go the length of con utt4ing that two-thirds at least of the arable land of tie wintry should be liencef.rth literally speaking, "4in; eventually, therefore, uncultivated?

It is tie occu pier that is dissre-fted, from the product of the lands falling at least oat .third in raise. Taxes may bare moue effect, but c millet be said to be more than 28 to 3 per cent, on the present rents. On my farm of 2711. per sonata, they do not exceed 8/. per ammo. This farm, before the war, was rented at 1501. per annum. It is now let for 2711. per annum, that is an additien, in rent, of 1214 or 80/. per cent. If the landlords wilt let the lands to meet the prang price of the product. then one will hare reason to complain. Land lords may entice the tenants to continue until their esedtal is all seat, but they will then saddle the lands with more poor rates than they can support; if there be any thing alarming to the land lords, it must be from the fear that the present emits mOO% be sustained. When the high prices were sharp rd in the war, lands, in general. were more put ea, aad were more sshansted. and cannot now bear so ,great imps: besides labour is higher.
