SILVESTER V. ItOORE.

The above cause has been heard before Vice.rhancellor
Malini, nod was a bill tiled for the removal of one of the de-
fendants fr or the trusteeship of a marriage settlement.

The plaintiff was a married lady, who was entitled
tinder the settlement, dated in 1863, and executed in
ticotland, to the income of a small fund 4 Wslo Consols
for her separate use. The parties were Scotch. The
principal defendant was the acting trustee of the mar-
riage settlement, through whom from 1863 to 1866 the
lady received her dividends. From that date he had
refused to give the authority for their rayment, return-
ing no answer to the various applications which were
made to him, and leaving the dividends to accumulate
In the Rank 4 England. I "Itimately in 180 the present
bill was tiled. The defendant entered an appearance, but
beyond that took no notice of the suit. Interrogatories
were filed, but I amaver was elicited ;an attachment was
issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff, but with-
not effect. Two further attachments were issued, but
still without result, and the bill VIM now brought to a
hearing without an answer. At the last moment an
arrangement had been entered into between the parties,
and the defendant, on whom personally no imputation
was made, and who appears to have acted under the
Impression that the trusts of the deed, which was one
of a series executed in Sciitlanil in reference to the fund,
had been altered, and that he was thereby relieved
from the trusteeship, appeared at the hearing, and
consented to a decree for the appointment of new
trustees and for vesting the trust hinds in them.

The Vice-Chancellor, after observing that, under all
the circumstance., the trustee might consider himself
fortunate at the matter having been settled as it was,
as he might have had to pay the whole costa of the suit,
wade decree to the effect arranged.

EARL RUSSELL ON UNSECTARIAN

The following correspondence has been forwarded
for publication :

"Cannes, France, Nov. 11, IS7I.

"Sir,—l have mad with great alistirutiosi your speech at the
meeting of the National Elocution League on the 17111 of
October.
"if I understand it rightly. the League 'mitt that all
schools allot by local rates shall Ira unseetariao, but not
that they should 1,, aecula,
" 11l am right, I should wish to join the League and to
subscribe xlO a year to its funds till its objects are attained.
" I run glad to see that you intend to Wog this all-
gillestiori early tin the Session under the notice of
the noose al I

A great struggle will be nvole by the clergy of tbe
Church of Rome and of the Church of England to maintain
and perpetuate sectarian schools ailed by rates and buy the
State. .1 remain, your obedient servant,

"Mr. George Dixon, M.P."

" itt7SSFIL.

'The Dales, Birmingham, Nov. 13, 1871.
My Lord.—Your note of the 11th inst. reached me this
morning, and has been read with pleasure and thanks.
" We have always refrained from using the word 'see,,-
tar,' believing that ' unseetarian 'more accurately expressid
our meaning. We have never advocated the excludon if
the Bible from the National Schools by Act of Parliament ;
but we have expressed our opinion that in order to Insure
the unsectariau character of the teaching in the Rate
Schools it woold be advisable that the Bible when read
should be read without note or comment.

" Your Lordship would add to the service you have ren-
dered to the League by granting permission to publish your
letter of adhesion to the movement.
" I have the honour to be, your Lord4hip's obedient servant
GEolnig DiXoN.
" The Right lion. the Earl Russell, E.G."

"Cannes, Nov. 111, 1871.
have rend with much satisfaction your letter of
November 13. 1 can have 110 hesitation in joining the
League, and in giving you permission to publish my letter of
the 11th inst.

"1 am not of opinion that the Bible, when read, should
be read without nate or comment ; but I think this is a point
of so much difficulty, and there in so much danger of slip-
ping into sectarian comments on the part of teachers, that
1 do not wonder at the ,glinion expressed by the League.

'My wish and hope is that the rismg youth of England
may be taught to adopt, not the Church of Rome or the
Church of England, but the Church of Christ. The teaching
of Christ, whether dogmatic or not, igto ht, found in the
Bible, and those who in their inlayo y read the Bible may,
at their own choice, when they reach the age of fifteen or
sixteen years, follow the teaching of the Church of Ronie or
of any Protestant community they may prefer.

" In this manner chnstnindy may in time be purged of
the corruptions which, in the course of time sad amid the
conflicts of the 16th and 17th centuries, have stained its
purity and perverted its spirit of love and charity.
I remain your obedient servant,

" To the Editor.

"Sir—Farmers will do well to turn their attention to
the destructive ravages if ground game with a view to its
prevention. Thin, doubtless, will be easier when they have
the protection of the ballot against those who with one
hand take high rents for the farm anti with the other turn
out will annuals to prey upon those said farms for which
the rent has been received. Whether these and other mat-
ters will ever be settled in a mariner satisfactory to the
courdry at large without a Land Bill Is a further question. I
have a case before me which very well illustrates the perse-
cution to which a farmer may easily be subjected under our
present unequal landlord-made laws. There Is a farm—
partly in Wonersh, partly in Albury—owned by a noble
lord officially connected with our ancient borough. The
tenant is a hard, working smock-frock farmer. A year ago
his buildings were accidentally burnt down, mid still reniain
down. His son had the wickedness to shoot a pheasant, for
Which crime he was prosecuted both before the magistrates
Until the Excise; he has fled the country. The father's farm
Is surrounded by the landlord's woods, in which rabbits are
exceptionally encouraged to such an extent that after the
threshing this year there was not as much seed left as was
sown in the first instance. The damage has been estimated
by a competent person at £137 and some shillings. There is
a radical flaw in a system which allows lif the possibility
of such o7ipression, and the sooner attention is directed to
the discovery of a remedy the better for all classes con-
cerned.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, AGRICOLA."
