These eminent men are upon this subject equally enlightened, and will each cordially co operate with the other in the advancement of this great object—the improve.. ment of our civil procedure. They will be aided also to the utmost by an eminent person who, happily, occupies the highest position in our common-law judicature—Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of England, whose enlarged and enlightened mind would lead hire to adopt and advocate any practicable measure of legal reform, and whose authority would lend it great weight. He is the senior surviving member of the Com mon Law Commission of 1850, which did so much to improve our procedure, and recommended the salutary provisions to which we have adverted ; and it was under stood that his views were far more advanced than those of his coadjutors ; nor can it be doubted that he would gladly lend his aid to carry out the principles then laid down. There are, moreover, still three more judges on the bench who were members of that commission : Baron Martin, Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Justice Willes, all men of sound sense, of great legal learning, and of great ex perience. And happily:the bench, as it is now constituted, is largely—one might say entirely—composed of men at once enlightened and experienced ; such men, for instance, as Sir H. Keating, whose name has been already men tioned as that of a law reformer, and the author of a very valuable measure ; Mr. Justice Montague Smith, a man of vast experience and cultured mind ; Mr. Justice Mellor, a man of very sound judgment ; and last, not least, Mr. Justice Blackburn, who combines in a rare degree deep learning with common sense. From such men law reform will meet with no objection or obstruction. Nor is this all ; there has lately been added to the bench a man of the same order of mind as Mr. Justice Wines— we mean Mr. Justice Hannen, a man evidently learned, liberal, and enlightened. Then there are men like that eminent judge Sir James Wilde, with minds at once philosophical and practical, who would lend all their aid to legal reform. In Parliament, again, there are menlike Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Torrens on one side, and Mr. Henley and Mr. Hardy on the other ; to say nothing of able Liberal, lawyerslike Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Denman, and Sir R. Collier, who would lend all their assistance. Anyhow, we rejoice to think, considering the construction of the commission now sitting, and that it includes the honoured name of Sir William Erle— a man in whom Liberal views are happily blended with matured experience—no doubt can be entertained that, next session, we shall see a large and valuable reform of our civil procedure.—Westminster Review. ir en eral ipaign• !neral'a THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1868. ces are great MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION ILIAI4 nu aneorPorated by Act of Parliament, 1859).

THE BARNSLEY EXPLOSION At the inquest into the death of the persons killed by the Barnsley explosion, the following statement br one of the sufferers (since dead) was read :—" I, William Elliott Bywater, of Waltham-street, Barnsley, state that I worked for Mr. Norris at his fireworks manufactory. On Wednesdaylast I went to work at a quarter-past six o'clock in the morning. I went into the far shop at abo at a quarter to seven o'clock, and found there Richard Ev►,ns, Jane Hawker, Sarah Ann Downing, and Mrs. Cooper, the lads Tommy Siddons, Joe Siddons, Watson, and Tommy Carroll. Mr. Norris came shortly afterwards. I saw som composition in a can which was on the stove, but I did not see who put it there. I saw Mrs. Cooper with the tin in her hand a few minutes before I noticed it being on the stove. My attention immediately afterwards was directed to the stove in consequence of the smell of sulphur proceed ing from it. The composition consisted of nitre, sulphur, and charcoal, and was a very combustible substance. The stove was railed round with iron bars about 4ft. high, and had an iron bar all round the top for the purpose of placing the tins on. The bar was about 3ft. from the top of the stove. From the time I first saw the tin in the hand of Mrs. Cooper up to the time I saw it on the stove would be about four minutes, and while the tin was on the stove she was standing close by. The tin ought to have been placed on the bars, and not on the stove. I was standing about a yard from the stove at that time, and Mr. Norris was standing close to me. Mr. Norris and myself both looked towards the stove at the same time, and we both attempted to take the tin with composition off, but it exploded before we could do so. After the explosion I never saw Mr. Norris, Mrs. Cooper, or the boy Watson. When I next found myself I was blown into the window-sill, the windows of which were blown out. Immediately after wards I was blown out of the building into the garden. I then found that my clothing was on fire, and I rolled myself on the ground and called for help. Some people came to me and placed me on a board and took me home. 1 don't knew who they were. I then became insensible, and when I came to myself I was lying on the house floor. That is all I remember about the a ffair. I have no use in my hands and arms, and I don't think I shall get better. I have no feeling in my hands, and I cannot write. This is a true statement of all I know about the explosion." All the bodies having been fully identified, and the coroner having given certificates for the burial, the inquest was adjourned until Tuesday. LAW AND POLICE. THE CHARGE OF SHOOTING AT FOUR CHILDREN IN 1-1 RIC ESTER. —The boatman named Mitchell, who shot at four children, near Leicester, has been brought before the magistrate. One of the Sunday-school teachers detailed the facts once again. He saw the boat pass, and some children throwing stones into the canal, when he heard the report of a gun. On turning round he saw the prisoner, at the helm, take a gun from his shoulder and put it into the cabin. Brown's face was streaming with blood, and witness ran towards the boat and told the boy in charge of the horse to stop ; but the prisoner would not let him, and said he was to go on, as there was nothing the matter. On the boat nearing the bankside witness boarded it, and asked the prisoner what he fired for, when he replied that he did not know the gun was loaded. Witness told him that was nonsense, he must have known it, when he answered, " I did not think it would have carried so far. I never had a gun in my hand before in my life, and did not think I could have aimed so straight." On reaching the locks Mr. Annis, another teacher, came up, as well as the captain of the boat, and prisoner was taken into custody. He pointed out where the gun was in the cabin, as well as the powder-flask. John Sheldon said he was with some boys who were throwing stones, first at a swallow and then at the boat as it passed, when prisoner fired, saying he would " put that into them." Witness was struck by the shot on the right eyelid, left temple, and left wrist. A certificate was read from Mr. C. E. Crossley, surgeon, stating that, although progressing favourably, Edwin Brown was not able to attend the court and give evidence. The prisoner was then further remanded for a week. DAMAGING A LADY'S CLOTHING.—Mr. J. Pitt Taylor, the judge at the Greenwich County Court, gave judgment on Friday in a singular case. Miss Bishop, a young lady residing at Greenwich, was passing some buildings in the course of erection at New-cross, when some liquid containing lime fell upon her bonnet and velvet mantle, doing damage to the extent of £4. The land upon which the houses are being erected had been taken on lease by a Mr. Turner, a builder, and against this person an action had been brought to recover the amount of damage stated. The defendant contended he was not liable, on the ground that another person had agreed with him to do the brickwork of the buildings at so much per rod, and that, in law, such person was a contractor, and would alone be liable. His Honour ruled that this person was, in the eye of the law, the servant of the defendant, and an order was made for the full amount claimed, with costs.

The extreme length of thare antiquity haz never been fully discovered ; they existed a long time before the flood, and hey existed a long time since. Mare is a great deal ov internal reyenew in a hog ; thare ain't much more waste in them than thare iz in an. oyster. Even thare tails can be worked up into. whissles. Hoggs are good, quiet boarders ; they always eat what is set before them, and don't ask any foolish questions. They never hey any disease but the ineazles, and they never hey that but once ; once seems to satisfy triem. Some are full in the face like a town clock, and come are as long and as lean as a cow catcher with a steel-pirated noze on them. They are a short lived animal, and generally die as soon as they git fait. The hog can be larnt a great many cunning things, such as pulling front gates off from the hinges, tippling over the swill barrels, and finding a hole in the fence tew get into a corn-field ; but thare ain't any length to there memory ; it is awful hard work for them to find the sante hole to get out, especially if you are at all anxious they should. Hogs are very contrary, and seldom drive well the same way you are going ; they drive most the other way. This has never bin fully. explained; but speaks volumes for the hog, Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., A By the Author of "Caste," &e R . L. " This novel is a very readable and interesting one. The cha racters are well pourtrayod, and there is an indescribable charm about the heroine."—Observer.
