NOTES OF THE WEEK.
The session which has just closed will leave
its mark behind it in this respect, that it
greatest legislative achievements will bq those I
which caused least stir, while those which have ;
been most talked about will turn out to be I
utterly insignificant. Was it a love of paradox
or that taste for mystifying people by talk-
ing magnihsoently about nothing at all,
which has led Mr. Disraeli to speak ot the
Agricultural Holdings Act as the great feat
of the session ? Avery mild Bill, of a merely
tentative character, and which any proprietor
may contract himself out of to-morrow, scarcely
deserves to be described as producing "the
happiest effects on the lite of a considerable por-
tion of Her Majesty's subjects." Perhaps Mr.
Disraeli was thinking more of his party than of
the country at large. That a duke should
introduce it into the Upper House and that a
Cabinet in which the landed interest largely
preponderates should force it on, is an achieve-
ment of some relative importance. To this
extent Mr. Disraeli is entitled to Nome praise.
But what are we to think of a review of the
scission in which the fusion of law and equity is
passed over as a mere matter of count I And

-yet it
.is obvious that tho reform amounting to

a revolution in our jurisprudence is enough to
make 1875 stand out as marking an epoch in our
Constitutional history. The fact is that, like
other changes which do not strike the public
eye, this has been passed over by the press
almost without comment. We are unable at

first sight to gauge ita importance. It is not
easy to set forth to a mere layman what a
chapter in English History is filled up by the
distinction between law and equity. That a

feud of long standing between the. Co-lemon Law
Courts and the Court of Chancery is now closed DORCHESTER.

lawyer. As far back as the,reign of Edward jive annual /fleeting of the Dorchester Gas Contimny was
