THE GRAND JUST OF MIDDLESZE AND THE STATE
OF LoNrsort—The following presentment wan made on
Tuesday by the grand jury of the Middlesex Sessions
to the judge on the present condition of London:
"We, the grand jury, now assembled at the Sessions
House, Clerkenwell, cannot terminate our official duties
without intimating our opinion to the court that the
serious outrages upon persons and Use robberies now so
openly and unceasingly perpetrated in the streets of
the metropolis demand the immediate attention ef the
Government, and especially the attention of the
Secretary of State for the Horne Department. We con-
sider it one of the most important duties of a Govern-
ment to adopt the means best cal :elated to represi crime
and to afford due protection to the lives and property
of the people, and we have observed with anxiety and
alarm the modern system sanctioned by the Govern-
ment of remitting a portion of the sentence of impri-
sonment passed upon convicted criminals, supplying
them with tiekets-of-leave, and in our opinion thereby
affording them facilities for again inflicting gross out-
rages on persons and property. We consider the .
present alarming state of insecurity to persons and
property, and the manifest inability of the police under
present regulations duly to protect the public from the
gross outrages which are oonstantly occurring, to the
scandal of the metropolis to reflect upon the com-
petency of the means hitherto adopted by the Govern-
ment to render effective the police force, and we eon-
bider that the large amount annually paid for the main-
tenance of that force entitles whose who pay it to de-
mand adequate protection for themselves and others.
We consider any system of management in Her
Majesty's gaols to be most reprehensible which permits
convicted criminals and felons to enjoy a better dietary
and more advantages than are afforded to the aged and
unfortunate poor in many of the unions and parochial
workhouse; and we think that the attention of the
Secretary of State for the Home Department ahould be
directed to so patent and disreputable a fact. We
consider that all punishments awarded by • criminal
court should, except in special cases, be fully carried
out • and we think that any interference with sentences
passed by the judges or the magistrates, nless it can be
shown that such sentences were improper, are likely
to prove bad in principle and mischievous in effect;
nor can we avoid obeerving that such interference
appears to us to be an affront to justioe, the law,
and its officer; We very respectfully request
the court will order that this, or a copy of this our
memorial or presentment, be forwarded to the Secrelary
of State for the House Department, with our further
request that he will submit the same to the considera-
tion of Her Majesty's Government The Assistant.
Judge said it gave him great satisfaction to receive this
presentment of the views of the grand jury, and be
would have pleasure in forwarding it for the considera-
tion of Her Majesty's Government.

"THE CHRONOGRA.PH." "Thus ended the race of
1862 between the rival universities for the Blue
Riband of the Thames,' Oxford having woh two years
in succession easily. As great disparity exist, in the
'time' given by several of our contemporaries, we have
no hesitation in saying that ours may be relied on as
correct, having been taken by "Benson's Chronograph
Warch."—Sporting Life, 16th April, 1862. "While
speaking of Benson's monster clock it may not be out
of place to remark that • delicate: instrument of his
manufacture, the Chronograph,' was brought into use
at Epsom on the Derby day, and proved, th,at the race
MSS won in 2 nun. 45 sees. 5-10ths."—Ctty Press, 7th
I June, 1862. During the day the Exhibition tent
was open to visitors. There were some very beautiful
obiects exhibited, and amongst the rhostiwteresting a
chronograph, invented by Mr. Benson, of Ludgate Rill.
It is designed to mark the time of an occurrence to the
tenth part of • second, which can be done without
taking the eye off the object observed. The instru-
ment indicates the time in the ordinary way, appearing
at first glance as an ordinary seconds watch, but
simultaneously with the pulling of a string, which
passes from the movement to the outside of the case,
a clearly-defined dot of ink is deposited on the dial,
without in the slightest degree affecting the time-
keeping, and the ink is so prepared acts wipe off readily.'

the Rifle Meeting at Wimbledon.) Benson's watches,
" perfection of mechanism," are supplied at prices
varying from 3 to 53 guineas, in silver, and in gold
from Ste 100 guineas. Benson's "Illustrated Pamphlet,"

strong. delicious, and invigorating Tea at a very
aeasonable price, is obtainable by purchasing the Pure
sorts imported by Bornintan cE Co., London, who to
secure choice spring growths, have for the last 15 years
had a supply not covered with colour ; this they find
indispensable because the Chinese colour many Teas on
purpose to disguise and pass off refuse brown leaves,
for when Tea is coloured the costly spring and the low
autumn sorts both appear equally valuable. An able
leading article in the Times, August 15th, 1882, cau-
tions all against using the highly coloured leaf, and
shows the folly of allowing paint on Tea as it is used as
daily food. Dornintan's Pure Tea is secured in
Padgett, and sold by the Agents advertised.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTIIIMT ANS PlLLS.—Paralysis, deep-seated
rheumatism, and stiff contrasted Joints may sleeps be cured
by these medicines, if they have a fair trial. But such
diseases are not cured in a single day. The patient must
have. little perseverance and determination, and then with
thew powerful medicines be cannot fail to conquer his disease,
however obstinate it may be. The Ointment should be briskly
rubbed into the parts affected, after they have been fomented
with luke-wwrm water. The Pills by their action on the blood
and the humours of the body, are an admirable auxiliary to
the Ointment, and improve and invisiontte the whole system.
Directions foi the use of those Medicines accompany each pot
and box.
