Wool, os Wednesday evening, when there was a full
attendant* of members Yr. T. C. Sounder., the
Wt:!,_ occupying the chair. The Hey. Gerard
vicar of Waist Lalwartie, who had been
1:,;("; by the club to introduce the subject of the
mew Agricultural Holdings Act, did so in an eloquent
soil able 'pooch, the first pert of which the speaker
devoted to poluting out those principles established by
the Act, which are very much In favour of the tenant
farmers. Ito rev. gentleman afterwards proceeding to
allude to what, Is his opinion, were the merlons defects
in the measure, dwelling special, upon what he
generally oonsidered am its chief fault—that there is no
sufficient security under this bill proteollog the tenant
against a rise of rent upon hie own improvement—and
also dwelling upon the terms of Clause 5, whereby
the Landlord and the tenant have power to maks their
own agreement respecting the amount of o dnpeneation
to be paid witkoat baying resource to the provisions
of the Ant. A praotioal dlsoneelon followed. be which
the Pnrldent, Mr. C. Hyde, Mr. G. Sadden, and
others took part; and ultimately the following
important resolution was passed by a large majority
of the club (the President, however, ref wing to support
the proposition)—" Tlat the Winfrlth Farmers' Club
ooniers that the Act of 1883, while undoubtedly one.
(erring grout benefits upon the tenant farmer, cannot
he considered by any mesas a final settlement of the
question until security is given to the sitting tenant
against a rise in rent up,n his own totprovamflits."
A cordial vote of thanks, on the proposition of Mr. G.
Budden, moulded by Mr. Hyde, was pained to the
irev. gentleman for his kindness in attending and his
able sod interesting speech on the question.

POOLI

Dooroas' EVIDENCE AT INQUISTIL—AE Poole, on
No/ember 29th, a painful sensation wee prndoced in
the Coroner's Court during so enquiry into the death
of • man who had been stabbed in a street affray.
The doctor, presumedly led away by the gravity of
the charge against the accused, supplemented his
verbal evidence by exposing to the view of his
horrified audio:roc, the heart of dm 'seed through
whiob the fatal 'limit had paged. We do not doubt
that the witness felt the reeronsibility of his
position, and thought he was sorrier the ends of
jultios by induleior in a spectacular demonetration,
but we would point nut that nothing c mid be
gained by the course he adopted, for bad
the jay been disposed to discredit his *Mono.,
they might still have done so by challeng-
ing him to prove that it wee a heart at all,
or that it was human, or that the wound was caned
by the knife supposed to have been used. It is not
wise to attempt to prove too much. Our experience
does not lead us to believe that it is customary to
complete post-mortem examinations in court, and
certainly it is not our desire to sanction a procedure
which can benefit no one, but which may give rise to
painful sensations to those unversed In the arts and
midair's of the medical jurist. Even In these
levelling days the popular feeling is somewhat oon-
, mingles when called to bear upon questions of life
1 and death. We onne saw a professional witness placer
a piece of intestine before • coroner's jury. whereupon
the presiding officer promptly requested him to
with wit; so the doctor at Poole may derive some
comfort from the fact that he is not the only man
who, striving according to his lights to he exact, has
not met with general approval. The offence. if snob
it be, wee venial, and one not likely to be repeated.
