The more malignant of the political, or one might almost have said personal enemies of Mr. GLADSTONE, while they may just possibly refrain from any longer comparing him to JUDAS ISCARIOT, or suggesting that hanging would be too good for him, or indulging i❑ any of those other amenities for which the extra parliamentary utterance of the member for Salford, for example, were, until very recently, remarkable, will probably laugh to scorn, even now, the notion of his ever winning " golden opinions from all sorts of men." Friends and enemies must alike admit, how ever, that " golden opinions" he was squandering, yesterday afternoon, upon " all sorts of men" with a most lavish and ungrudging generosity. Having de livered a " plain and unvarnished tale " in explana tion of the mutual concessions, in regard to the Irish Church Bil►, agreed to between the Lords and Com mons, between her MAJESTY'S Government and her MAJESTY'S Opposition, the Prime Minister may be described as having closed his memorable speech of yesterday with a series of glowing panegyrics. Ile commenced it, as he said, " under a heavy sense of responsibility, but"--he aided in the sa:nc breath— " with profound satisfaction." Nor, certainly, can it be wondered at that the Premier's heavy sense of responsibility should have been accompanied by an equally vivid sense of profound satisfaction. For, in point of fact, never ha 1 the stay of a• y theatre at Christmas time witnessed a trausFormation sc ne more startling in its effect than the political arena has just now revealed to the wondering senses of the whole community in the mi lst of the almost tropical heat of this present Midsummer. It was as if the Slough of Despond and the Cave of Giant Despair hail, by the waving of a Magician's wand, been changed into the Bowers of Bliss and the Dazzling Halls of Delight. But yesterday, as it were, we were all in the midst of a great political crisis, for the disastrous consequences likely to accrue from which there appeared to be not the faintest glim mering of a possibility of any extrication. There was felt to be, there was known to be, on this side and on that, to the right hand and to the left, a burning sense of indignation. Suddenly—all sounds of con tention are hushed—looks of anger are nowhere visible—all are of one accord—Mr. GLADSTONE, at the head of his tyrant majority (tyrant majority now no longer), is addressing the House of Commons, and through the House of Com mons the whole of the United Kingdom, in the most conciliatory and congratulatory language, language in which he scatters around him, on Liberals and Conservatives alike, no mere idle compliments, but tributes of earnest and unaffected appreciation. The result arrived at is, as Mr. GLADSTONE emphatically expressed it yesterday, " The exemplification of that harmony of our institutions which, perhaps, have rarely been more severely tried than during the discussions of the present year ; and which," exclaimed the Premier with considerable emo tion, " I thank GOD, have stood the trial." Referring to the negotiations which have so rapidly and unexpectedly led to the present compromise, the right hon. gentleman said immediately after this— " Immediately we found that a disposition existed which gave us hope of a co:nmon basis, my noble friend, Lord GRANVILLE, in that spirit we all must admire, and with that capacity which I think all admit, entered into the detailed com munications which have resulted in the settle ment which we now recommend." Then, turn ing to the other side, Mr. GLADSTONE added with no affected fervour—" And, Sir, it is but fair that I should repeat, what I have before gladly said, that I should own my acknowledgments to the Opposition in this House for the manner in which—abstaining from every effort to clog ti e course of this Bill, whether by open or by secret obstruction—they allowed the issue to be taken fairly, and while fighting the hattle with the courage that becomes them as English gentlemen they stooped to no unfair advantage." Nor was this all. The House of Lords even came in for the Premier's studied euloginms, when he remarked, " And further, Sir, I must refer to another place, and must acknowledge with satisfaction and thankful ness, not only the ability which I grant to be a grLat ornament and glory of the other House as displayed in debate, but that comprehensive sagacity and fore thought, that power of realising the future and of pre paring fur it, which alone, I think, has brought about on the part of the House of Lords the recommendation of the settlement which I am now authorised to urge on the House." Listening to this language, beholding the result which has thus been most happily arrived at, one cannot but look back with a wistful sense of the ludicrous to the angry altercations that have hitherto prevailed—one cannot but recall to mind the wisdom lying perdu in that half cynical, half genial recommendation of ROCHEFOUCAULD that an enemy should always be treated as though he were one day to become a friend. COMPROMISES are always disagreeable at the time they are made, and sometimes are not less so in retrospect. It is easy enough to say to two dispu tants that they ought to make mutual concessions on any point which does not violate their con science. It is far more difficult to determine what those points are. Viewed from one aspect a disputed point will seem to be merely a question of detail. Viewed from another it will appear to involve a fundamental principle. We can readily imagine that this difficulty has weighed very heavily upon so sensitive and con scientious a statesman as Mr. GLADSTONE; and, with out attaching much importance to the rumours of Ministerial differences, that it was with great reluct ance he assented to the concessions which his colleague announced on Thursday night. At the same time we do not think that the nation will seriously complain of the settlement which has now happily been attained. The nation does not scru tinise details with the same keen eye that politicians do. The nation troubles itself only with broad principles, and so long as it has confidence in the Minister entrusted with carrying them out, will not look into the items. Never did Minister possess the national confidence to a greater degree than Mr. GLADSTONE; never, therefore, was Minister more bound not to betray that confidence by any unworthy concession. Those who have accused him of arro gance little know the man. They have mistaken his character utterly. Had he been an in differentist he could have made far greater concessions than he has done. But it is not in Mr. GLADSTONE to allow a great measure to be so altered, as the Reform Bill of 1807 was, that nothing but the word " whereas " remains. Moreover, Mr. DISRAELI felt that the more he conceded the more he should please the nation. Mr. GLADSTONE could not feel that. He was not a minority Minister, but a Minister who, more than any of his predecessors, was chosen by the people to do a certain work. To have done that work badly, or to have left it only half done, would have been but a poor return to those who supported him. hence we may readily believe that in yielding as much as he has done he has been influenced chiefly by deference to his colleagues. to the other party, we shall find more than one motive prompting concession. It is no discredit to the Peers that they saw at the last moment the danger which would arise to their own order by thwarting the national will, and keeping open a settlement of this question for a period which, longer or shorter, must be one of agitation. They felt themselves bound to do their best for the Irish Church, but having once admitted the prin ciple that the nation must be the ultimate arbiter of this question, they were not bound to insist upon details which would have provoked a collision that could have but one termination. The Irish Church was to be disestablished and disendowed ; that was admitted ; that was the only principle involved; unless, indeed, we except that principle which was for a time gal vanised into unnatural life, soon to be laid at rest for ever—the principle of concurrent endowment. All the rest was a question of detail, for whose solu tion no other rule was required than to get the best possible terms. The Lords have been unfairly censured for endeavouring to obtain these. The remarks about their greed and covetous ness are both ungenerous and unjust. The dis endowing of a great corporation is a rare event ; of such a corporation as this an unprecedented event. But when minor corporations have had to submit to the process, its members have always made the best arrangements they could. This is what the Peers have done—not for them selves be it remembered, but for the Irish_ Church. No candid person can blame them. Perhaps there was one other personal motive which prompted the chief author of this concession. Throughout the session Lord CAIRNS has seen his influence as a party leader sorely shaken and a dan gerous rival appear. Lord SALISBURY having decided against any surrender, an opportunity arose for Lord CAIRNS to regain his influence and to deal a damaging blow to his rival by taking upon himself the tremendous responsibility of offering terms to the Government. In this course he was, no doubt, sup ported by his old chief, Mr. DISRAELI, who had the same reason for wishing to supplant the MARQUIS. The bold experiment was justified by the result, for though, upon hearing it, Lord DERBY walked out of the House as though everything had been surrendered which he cared for, younger and more prudent men approved the compromise which was last night ratified by the House of Commons. IT is satisfactory to find from Mr. SCUDAMORE'S evidence before the Home of Commons Committee that in all probability his department will in the course of a year or two reduce the charge for telegrams from ls. to 6d., and that the only reason why the lower charge is not made now is that the department is afraid of being overwhelmed with too much business at starting. It would be still more satisfactory if this confident hope could be embodied in the bill in the form of an enactment. As a very able writer in the Pall Mall Gazette has shewn, a monopoly cught to be conceded only on the understanding that the charge shall be as low as any other competitor could reasonably make. The beneficial result of com petition is already shewn in one branch of business which the Post Office undertakes. There is no monopoly with regard to the carriage of parcels ; the consequence is that the department vies with the carriers in cheapness, and, while making a handsome profit, gives the public the benefit of very low rates. The public may well be satisfied for a time with the large boon which the Post Office will immediately confer. It appears that 6,000,000 messages are now sent annually, and of these only 160,000 are sent at 6d., while 2,500,000 are charged from ls. 6d.'to 3s. For one message that will be increased in price fifteen will be reduced. There is, however, no reason why these advantages should not ultimately be extended; and the bill ought to provide either for a 6d. rate at the end of a term, or give the monopoly only for a term, at the expiration of which the whole question would he reconsidered. Last year the committee on the Telegraphs Bill agreed that no monopoly was required. This year the enlarged committee propose, with only two dissentients, to limit the monopoly to seven years. We understand that the only obstacle to the adoption of the recommendation of the committee is Mr. Lowi's determination that he will not raise the money for the purchase unless he gets a ls. rate and a per petual monopoly. If the Telegraphs Bill is imperilled, or its provisions are not the most condu cive to the public interest, the blame must rest upon the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER for his assumption of dictatorship.

The trial of Lord Carington for assaulting Mr. Grenville Murray came on at the Middlesex Sessions on Friday. The court of course was very crowded, gentlemen of posi tion occupying seats on the bench. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Montague Williams (specially retained), and Mr. Gill, appeared for the pro secution. The Solicitor-General (Sir J. D. Coleridge, Q.C.,' M.P., specially retained), Mr. Hardinge Giffard, Q.C., Mr. ,Poland, and the Hon. E. Thesiger were for Lord Carington. The defendant was not required to go into the dock, but, on being called upon to plead, stood up in the middle of the court, and was afterwards allowed to be seated near his counsel. Before he pleaded, however, the Solicitor- General said he wished to draw his lordship's attention to the state of the facts of the case. It would appear that Lord Carington was taken before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at Marlborough-street Police-court, on two summonses obtained against him. One of these sum monses charged Lord Carington with a common assault, and the other charged him with inciting Mr. Grenville Murray to fight a duel. These summonses were heard separately, and the result of one of them was that Lord Carington was bound over to keep the peace towards Mr. Murray. Thus far that charge was disposed of, and the other charge, which was for the purpose of inciting Mr. Grenville Murray to fight a duel, was sent for trial. By some unexplained means, these two charges were blended into one indictment, but his lordship would find that the grand jury ignored that part of the bill which charged Lord Carington with inciting Mr. Murray to fight a duel, and they found so much of the bill as related to a common assault. He submitted therefore that Lord Carington was entitled not to be put upon his trial, as that matter had already been disposed of ; that Mr. D'Eyncourt had adjudicated upon it, and that there was an end of the matter. lie (the Solicitor- General) could not put in any statutable objection, and he could not produce the certificate of the magistrate, for it seemed that he had neither been found guilty nor acquitted, but he had been bound over to keep the peace towards Mr. Grenville Murray. Therefore he should not be called on to plead. Mr. Giffard addressed his lordship on the lame point. The Assistant-Judge said the case must proceed, but he would make a note of the objection. The defendant then pleaded not guilty to the charge. Mr. Gill opened the case. He said he would shew that the assault upon Mr. Murray was a preconcerted attack. Lord Carington, in order to become familiar with the features of the plaintiff, obtained his photograph before committing the assault. He hoped that the jury would not be influenced by the fact that the defendant was a peer of the realm and a magistrate. Some reference will be made to the proceedings which had been taken in another place. Probably these proceedings were a part of the whole arrangement entered into by Lord Carington and his friends to injure Mr. Murray. A dastardly assault had been committed at midnight upon an unarmed gentleman as be was leaving his club. If this fact was proved he should ask the court to visit Lord Carington with such punishment as would be actual punishment, and not a mere nominal fine. The Solicitor-General remarked sotto voce that punish. ment was generally left to the court. Carlo De Nicola, valet to Mr. Murray, deposed to giving a photograph of the plaintiff to a person named William Bevant. Witness accompanied Mr. Reginald Murray when he went abroad, and left him iu Paris. Mr. Rankin used to come to the Albany. William Bevant, who said he was in the employ of Mr. Poole, tailor, Saville-row, deposed that he obtained the photograph from the previous witness, and shewed it to Lord Carington on the 21st of June last. Mr. John Bidwell, chief clerk at the foreign Office, who appeared on subpoena, was examined by Mr. Gill, and said he was not present at Poole's on the 22nd of June last. Cross-examined: Witness had known Mr. Grenville Murray since 1854 or 1855, and had in that time known a great deal of him. Witness would not believe him upon oath, and had told him publicly that he was a liar. Re-examined : When the subpoena was served upon witness on the previous day he was very much excited, and said a great many things which he was - prepared to repeat here. Did you say that plaintiff was a— blackguard; that you hrid begun it, and if it had cost you a thousand pounds you would smash him ?—I cannot remember exactly the words I used, but I believe I said something very like it. Did you begin to get up this assault ?—No ; I never knew of the assault at all until I saw it in the paper. The witness went on to say that he bad been attacked for some months by the Queen's Messenger, but he took no notice until an article appeared on his wife, Lady Selina. Mr. linstice Clare Grenville Murray, the plaintiff, was then called by Mr. Gill, and stated that on the night of the 22nd of June, as he was going down the steps of the Conservative Club, in St. James's-street, a person came up to him and asked, "Are you Mr. Murray?' He replied in the affirmative, whereupon the person struck him on the hat with a stick or whip. Plaintiff returned into the club and sent the page for a policeman. His assailant followed and said, " I am Lord Carington ; if you wish to bear from me, you will know where to find me." Plaintiff had not known Lord Caring ton before, and had no quarrel with him. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General: Did he strike you?—He struck a blow on my hat; he touched the edge of the brim of my hat. Did you write an account to the Queen's Messenger saying that you were not struck ?—I am advised to decline to answer any question whatever referring to the Queen's Messenger. On the ground that it would criminate you? You have no right to refuse to answer except on that ground.—l must take the consequences. There is an action against me on a false charge of perjury, and I do not know whether it would criminate me or not. Did you ever write to the Queen's Messenger?—l must decline to answer any question whatever. The Solicitor-General: I am cross-examining on Mr. Murray's character. Your own witness has said he would not believe him on his oath. The Assistant Judge said such questions might be put. The Solicitor-General: Would an answer criminate you? —Witness : I do not know. I have come here to know what a poor man can do against a rich one. In answer to a charge of assault they have set up a false charge of perjury against me. There is now all the bar of England, almost, against me, and six solicitors. I do not know what the effect of answering may be. The question is a very simple one. Do you know the Queen's Messenger ?—I refuse to answer. The Solicitor-General: Do you fear the consequences ? Witness : Of course I fear the consequences. These people are ruining me. The Assistant -Judge urged Mr. Murray to be calm. The Solicitor-General: Did you write to the Court Circular I—Witness : Will you be content with one answer? I refuse to answer. Did Lord Carington say to you, "You have written against my father and my grandfather?—l believe he said something to that effect. YV Did you know what he meant?—Of course I had a va gue knowledge ; but because it was vague I cannot express it. _ _ _ Are you a member of the Conservative Club ?--I was at that time. I resigned yesterday, and was subsequently informed that I had been voted out : 10 for me, and 190 against me. That is what you would call a good working majority of 180? (Laughter).—A capital working majority. Papers were handed to the witness but be refused to look at them, and the learned Solicitor -General then read extracts from the article in the Queen's Messenger on " Bob Coachington, Lord Jarvey," asking the plaintiff whether be had heard them before. The plaintiff complimented the Solicitor-General on his "admirable elocution," but refused to answer, or to do anything which could give the other side the smallest advantage. He declined to answer any question about the proprietorship, author. ship, or editorship of the Queen's Messenger, and the articles inserted therein. He did so on technical grounds. lle-examined by Mr. Gill : This is the 22nd number of the Queen's Messenger. There is an article in it headed " Bob Coachington, Lord Jarvey," which you have heard read. Will you take it in your hands and tell me, yes or no. The Solicitor-General: He has no right to get from his own witness answers which he objected to before, espe cially now when my mouth is shut. Mr. Gill: As my learned friend does not like to hear the witness say he did not write the article, I with. draw it. No witnesses being- called for the defence, Mr. Gill summed up his case, and expressed snrpriso that Lord Carington had not admitted the assault. • The Solicitor-General, in reply, said he was not going to waste the time of the jury in appealing to their sympathies, for if they were of opinion that the law had been broken, the law must of course be vindicated. He quite admitted that although Mr. Murray would not deny that he WAS the proprietor and editor of the Queen's Messenger, and the author of this° articles, although he would not deny, upon the ground that it might tend to criminate him, that he had time after time violated all common feeling and decency ; that he had attacked the living and maligned the dead ; that he had traded in slander ; that he had spared neither age not sex ; that he had shut his poisoned arrows under the guise of public spirit, but in reality to bit his personal enemies, and that he now came here to shelter himself under protection-- still, although he had forced Lord Carington into a breach of the law, he had a klkY th4t.. he WOlll4 loAlnik leaci, Caripaton all, the terrors which the law had in store for those who broke .t, even under such circumstances as these. Let Mr. hurray do his worst, however. Lord Carington was not sfraid, when his case was really understood, to leave honourable men to judge of his conduct. The jury after some consideration retired from the Court, and were absent about three-quarters of an hour. On their return, the foreman said they found Lord Carington guilty of a common assault, committed under circumstances of the very strongest provocation. The Assistant-Judge, addressing Lord Caring ton, said the jury had done quite right in finding him guilty, but at the same time it was evident, frcm the extracts they had heard, that he had been subjected to provocation. His lordship condemned, in strong language, the articles which had been referred to, observing that there was no proof that Mr. Murray was the author of them, although from his having refused to answer questions it might be inferred that he was connected with the paper in which they appeared. He ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizances to come up for judgment if called upon ; adding that if there was no renewal of the assault the case would be at an end so far as that court was concerned. THE LAW - AFFECTING SALMON FISII EIU ES. The select committee appointed to inquire into the operation of the law affecting salmon fisheries resumed their sitting on Friday, Mr. Dodds chairman. The examination of Mr. Frank Buckland was continued, and was to the effect that he approved of artificial hatches. Last year he sent one thousand young salmon to various rivers in England, and the year before between 7,000 and 8,000. He did not consider the plan of Mr. Patter son, to cut holes in weirs for the passage of salmon, applicable. He and his colleagues had frequently gone into the country and had conversation with the owners of weirs, and they were averse to having their pro perties interfered with. There was another reason against the applicability of Mr. Patterson's plan, which was the exceeding difficulty of cutting a hole in a wear without endangering its stability. In support of this opinion he instanced wears over the Axe, the Camel, the Severn, the Coquet, the Exe, the Tavy, and other places. In answer to a question from the chairman, Mr. Buckiand said that supposing no tribunal existed to dispose of the question of the legal rights of the owners of weirs, he was of opinion that it was desirable there should be one. He then sub mitted various models of ladders for the passage of salmon over weirs, which he considered might be used with advan- tage over that of Mr. Patterson's plan. THEATRE-ROYAL, HOLBORN.

The inquiry was resumed on Friday before the select committee of the House of Commons. Captain Tryon read a memorandum dated June 1868, which was a retrospective account of the expedition, written in answer to certain criticisms passed upon the conduct of it. Captain Tryon believed that the Government did not supply coal. He had nothing to do with checking the supply. He had no permission to discharge arrival ships. In the early part of the expedition to Zoula he represented to the general commanding that it would be cheaper to abandon everything landed there. The coals brought to Annesley Bay on December 8 cost £8 per ton ; but that was exceptionally high. One cause of the detention of the ships in Annesley Bay was that there were not hands enough to remove the stores to the ships. A considerable amount of material was sold for an inconsiderable sum. The stores embarked were so in consequence of a general order. In reply to the question if the mules were landed at a point where there was no water, Captain Tryon said he dared say no mules died for want of water. On being pressed to say if any owner of a ship would consent to his vessels being discharged in Annesley Bay, he replied that it would be madness on the part of a merchant to do so. The claim of Mr. Alex. Borthwick to the Scotch peerage of rotthwiek was before tho House of Lords cn Friday. The Earl of Denbigh has consented to preside at a dinner to be given early in August, at the Agricultural Hall, London, by several leading colonists, to about 1,500 working people, for the purpose of bringing under the notice of the working classes the merits of Australian preserved meats. A Liberal candidate gave rather a smart reply to an unwashed Conservative in front of the hustings during the late nominations. " And to what old family do you belong, Mr. C. ?" said the excited compound house- holder or drinker in the crowd. "My family," said Mr. C., very good-humouredly, "is so old that it was worn out before I became a member of it ; so I started fresh, as I hope to do in the coming Parliament." _ _ _ A Scotch clergyman one day said to a friend, the minister of Cupar, who, like himself, was blessed with a foolish, or rather wild, youth for a son, "D'ye ken, sir, you and I arc wiser than Solomon ?" "How can that be ?" inquired the startled clergyman. " On, ye see," said the other, "Solomon didna ken whether his son was to be a fool or a wise man ; but baith you and I are quite sure that our sons are fools." ALL THEY SAID.—A gentleman has recently taken down the entire conversation between two ladies during a fashionable call, and reports verbatim all that was said, as follows :—" How do you do, dear ?" " Pretty well, thank you." (They kis3.)—" How have you been this age V' " Pretty well. How have you been ?" " Very well, thank you."--" Pleasant to-day." " Yes, very bright ; but had a shower yesterday."—" All your family well ?" " Quite well, thank you. How is yours?" "Very well, I'm obliged to you."—"Hare you seen Mary B— lately ?" "No ; but I've seen Susan C—." "You don't say so? Is she well?" " Very well, I believe." (Rising.)—"Must you go?" " Yes, indeed ; I have seven calls to make."— "Do call again soon." " Thank you; but you don't call on me once in an age."—" Oh, you shouldn't say, so ; I'm sure I'm very good."—" Good-bye." " Good-bye." THE BELGIAN' MITRAILLELTSE. — The Belgian multiple gun, or mitrailleuse, is an improved form of an ancient invention. It is, however, only recently that the adoption of rifled arms has rendered practicable on an increased scale these multiple guns. They are divided into two classes ; the former, called volley-guns, are in tended to project all their bullets at once ; the latter, called mitrailleuse, are those which possess the power of firing more or less rapidly at will, The mitrailleuse of M. de Martigny, of Belgium, consists of thirty-seven steel-rifled barrels, of about the usual " small-bore "calibre. It has been proved by the recent experiments that its rapidity of fire is very great, especially at the short range. These mitrailleuse, or volley-guns, aro most likely to produce decisive effects when masked in battery ; or in great opera tions—the passage of rivers, bridges, or defiles—they prove very formidable by concentrating a tremendous fire for a brief period. They also have their uses at sea, and may afford good protection to a merchant ship. For defensive purposes the mitrailleuse must be mounted on some form of carriage ; but guns of this class might be made more handy if so mounted as to be carried on horses and along with cavalry. " SWEERLNG AT LAIRGE." A late Duke of Atholl had invited a well-known personage, a writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction of some business. The Duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place. But the Duke had forgotten the appoint. ment, and gone to the hill, from which he would not return for some hours. A highlander present described the Perth writer's indignation and his mode of shewing it by a most elaborate course of swearing. "But whom did he swear at ?" was the inquiry made of the nar rator, who replied, " On, he didna sweer at onything parteecular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge." " Sweering at lairge," however, even in former days, was more the tendency of the upper classes than of the Scottish peasantry, one of whom thus rebuked the late Lord Rutherford on his exclaiming gruffly at the Scottish climate, " What ad— mist !" The shepherd, a tall, grim figure, turned sharp round upon him " What ails you at the mist, sir? It wats the grass and slockens the ewes ; " adding, with much solemnity, " It ' s wull," and thereupon he turned from his lordship with lofty indignation. THE LATE CHELTENHAM ELECTION PETITIONS. —The case of the late Cheltenham election petitions came before Mr. Baron Bramwell, on Friday,in Judges' Cham- bers. An application was made on the part of the sitting member, Mr. Samuelson, for payment of £731 out of court as his taxed costs, and that the remainder of the £l,OOO deposited for costs should be retained until further order. Master Gordon had taxed the costs at the sum mentioned, and it was intended next term to bring the subject before the court, as on election petitions a material question was whether the costs were to be taxed as between attorney and client or as between party and party.—Mr. Burr applied for the payment out of court, and complained of the amount allowed. The question of costs would be considered next term—whether Master Gordon should not review his taxation.—Mr. Buck (Baxter, Rose, and Norton) objected to the payment. There was no such thing as payment out of court, as this money was in the bank, and the requirements of the Act had not been complied with. He said too much bad been allowed.--Mr. Baron Bramwell was of opinion that he could not make the order as asked, but Mr. Baron Martin would be in town next week. His own impression was that application should be made to the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. He should decline to interfere, ho ld simply c1491 - §eille nwpam. "NQ order.'
