DOWELL V. MIICHELL.

Bir,—With your permission I beg to draw atten-
tion to this case beard before the magistrates on the
28:h Inst. The plaintiff'. solicitor, in his °peel.,
remarks, characterised it as one of the moet painful
caste he had ever had, but, notwithstanding thle, be
very deliberately proceeded, and with the maeletratee
ooneent (that Is, they did not object) to elicit from the
plaintiff a deteiled statement of t..e particulars of the
case, which, ti my mind, and that of many others,
added very c ,nsiderably to its painful n.tnee. She
made her statement, however, in a very modest and
becoming manner.
I have never beard of came of this kind being heard
I. open wart, but always in camera, and if solicitor.
and magistratee had the regard either for the feelings
of a plaintiff, or for the morsls of the hearers, which
It may be suPPosed they have, they would surely
always adopt title considerate contest. It may be that
some plaintiffs do not deserve nor profit by such con.
ii feration, but I submit that all are not such depraved
and degraded being. for that to be said of them ; and
the maet of them would not have been so but for lurch
defeorlsots,

Painful, however, as the case was, the decision of the
magiatrates made it more so, for, sifter the plaiatiff's
stetement had been corroborated by two -knew*, and
she herself 644 given the most emphatic denial to all
the imputations brought against her by the defendant's
fr .m notes which could only have been
supplied hy the defendant himself, they " to k it into
consideration." and found that the evi fence warn not
stall dent for them to m be at or ler. Not en(ll4ent ?
What more could be required, oonaitieting the defen•
dalt warn not supported by a single wits...? Perhaps
Me solicitor thought that as he swore no hard himaef,
n further proof of hie innocence was needed. Sot
still, after mentioning so many nomes, to the plaintlff,
of persons with whom b. inferred eh* inight have been
Intl nate, it is strange that none of them were called
to support the oefendsat's affegsti•,os.
I only hope the plaintiff has given notice of appeal,
or that she will do so if there is yet time. If not, I
beg to suggest to her that there I. plenty—for • pro-
secution for perjury. But perhaps the "sinews ,4
war" are wanting. If, how,er, she has any sym-
pathisers besides myself. I shall be pleaeld to contribute
my " wit," to the aspens' of obtaining justice. In
• lan 111 k. this it ought not to be so difficult It get it,
"pi„.14,,, for po ,r people. Law ii cheap enough in
small quantities, but you have t wade through a
great deal of it to reach justice, and then it Niemen
expensive, and to many Impossible,. It may, how-
ever, be as truly said of lawyers and magistrates as of
Government, that "they ought to make it may to
do rigid and difficult to do meow." The decision of
the magutrates in tils ease ow Wady has the opposite
effect.
Trusting have not trespassed on your awe, I am.
Sir, yours obediently,
Stawa.

THE ANNUAL PSSTIVAL OF TIIII RISTORA-
TION OP MS MINSTER. AND THE HARVEST
THANKSGIVING SEAMS&

On Sunday, September 2SO, the above services
were celebrated in the fine old Minster, which had
been neatly decorated for the occasion. On entering
by the west grand entrance, we first noticed the font,
which was nicely arrayed with moss, wheat, barley,
oats, and grasses, and also a good display of flowers.
Passing on, the reading desk next met our view, being
lightly trimmed with flowers and evergreen", and also
a Fess] display of lino graiso. The choir were
finished tastefully with barley, fancy grasses, and
Rowers, and on the steps leading up to the communion
were displayed specimens of vegetables and fruit,
including potatoes, turnip., carrots, tsimittoes,
kills. apples, !cc. Above the rommunion table were to
be found a splendid collection of white and coloured
grapes, and a neat cniss formed with ears of barley and
flowers. These, with the grapes, k.c., rested on beds
of prioaa Although the wetatil.T was somewhat
unfavouranle, the sery its, during the day were
exceedingly well attended, especially that of the
evening.
The morning genic., was by Stainer, and the
processional hymn 382 ; the anthem, "I lb. Lord how
manifold, kc.." by Hanby, was well rendered in
every part; the Sanctus and Kyrie were by Arnold
In A. The vicar, the Rev. P. J. If uyshe, and the

Moen ii, and Matthew 'iii. The Rev. J.

opinion expreseeti in Chia article. I feel it I. a

hair-penny, aftlemea, we (the ratepayer.) have hid -
added to the expenses in 18M. £226; in 1882, £221

I am c mdemned by the press for wing extravagant
