A NICE POINT.

In a case tried at Westminster on Tuesday, and
which was an action of ejectment to recover premises
said to have been forfeited owing to non-payment of
rent, and alleged neglect to repair according to
covenant, there was a somewhat curious point. In
order to cause a forfeiture, it was necessary that a
formal demand should be made before s inset OD a certain
Sunday, and it was denied that such a demand as to he
legal ha I been made. The agent authorized to make
the demand had too to eight houses, and he was ennui-
examined by Mr. Printice as. to the time be occupied
in calling at each house. He said that he went to the
first house at 4.46 and to the last at 4.51 pm. He
was not asked to show his power of attorney, but he
had it ready to show if required. It then became re-
came requisite to prove the time of sunset on the day
of the alleged i'emand, and accordingly Mr. Godwood
from the Nautical Almanac (Mice of the Admit...l[y,
was called, aud depo-ed thlt on the 2.5di of 0 .rober,
1872, ths sun set at Tottenham, the locus in quo, at
453. Thus, if the p'aintiff wts correct, the o emend
wapiti:mile just two minute, before the time required by
law had expired. If Green's, Is time were to prevail,
this agent would have had one minute mime, as the nun
set on that day at 451 mean time. This was the only
interesting punt in the trial, and at the conclusion of
Mr. Hin,dieet n's Case there was a conference which
reeulted in the withdrawal id a pleor on terms.

SINGULAR EXPERIMENTS WITH ICE.

"Lee Glaciers et lee Transformations de l'Eau, par
.1. Tyndall," is the title of a French translation of
Professor Tyndall's recent work, but the French edition
has the advantme of being accompanied by an
appen lix containing the discussion between M.
Helmholz, late Professor at Heidelhurg, awl the
author of the book, on the curious phenomenon of
" regelation." The facts are these : If two lumps
of ire be pressed together, they will be welded at
their point of contact. Mr. Faraday having COM-
monicatesi this observation of his to Mr. Tyndall,
the latter took a hollow tteel cylinder, put in come
snow, which he compressed with a piston fitting tight,
and thus obtained a cylinder if transparent ice. In
the same way two pieces of solid ice, if subjected to
pr.sore in a molud if any shape, will come out in
tb .t preiue form. Professor Wm. T DOMMII explains
this by sayiug that by pressure the points in contact
are Liquified, that the water time produced hae rendered,

latent a portion of the caloric of the surrounding ioe,
whereby the temperature falls below zero, and that con-
sequently, as soon SA the pressure ceases, this water
freezes again. Both M. Helmholz and Professor Tyndall '
accept this explanation; only the latter finds it so far in-
sufficient that it does not take into account the air con-
tained in the water. He also describe.] the following
experiment of his. Having put a lump of ice into hot
water, he submerged it by preserng it down with another
piece of ice. Notwithstanding tie all but infinites mal
pressure exercised, the tro lumps inetan,ly froze to-
gether. A g .in, it is well known that two floating bodies
wetted with water will attract each other. Now, if
they be two lumps of ice swimming on hot water,
they will join and coalesce at once. When the bridge
thus formed has melted awsy, they will again separate,
then meet and freeze together again, and so on,
as lone as there is any ice left. He concludes with men-
tioning an experiment made by M. Duppa, the upshot
if which is that ice may be pressed into any shape—
that of a statuette, for instance; a plaster east may
then be taken of it ; and when the ice has melted away
inside, there remains a hollow mould, into which any
metal may be poured. Professor Helmholz replies
that the non-conducting property of ice is an objection
to the supposition that the caloric set at liberty by
pressure can spread into the ice, and that great ob.
county still prevails on the question.

A NEGRO ON THE SCAFFOLD.

The New York Herald has published an account of
the bungling execution of George Lea, a negro, in
North Carolina. According to this 'statement there
were several thousand negroea present, the majority of
them being women, who were attired in their
most gaudy and showy holiday dresses. When
the hour of 15 minutes past one had arrived the
Sheriff called George from his cell into the lobby
of the gaol, upstairs. He was neatly and
tastefully dressed in a suit of black, with new
boots, a white collar and a checkered necktie, and
the pantie having a white stripe down the seams.
The Sheriff then placed • white shroud over his body,
which gave him a ghastly appearance, and he was
pinioned by the elbows behind and his hands in front.
His neck was next bared and the noose was placed
around it, and in this terrible plight he was led down
the stake of the gaol, out into the yard and around one
corner of the building to the scaffold. He mounted the
steps to the drop with a firm and steady tread. At
twenty minutes to two p.m. the drop fell with a loud
crash ; an exclamation of horror came from the crowd
the rope hail broken, and the body of George Lea was
daehed to the ground, quivering in the agonieeof death.
The rope was promptly loosened. The neck, though nit
broken, was turned stiff to one side as he writhed in
the greateet torture. He was asked if he felt hurt, to
which he replied, Yes, very badly hurt.' A new rope
was soon brought, the noose was irickly made and
placed again on the condemned man s nezk, and once
more he was standing, a living spectre on the drop.
he cried out 'Good bye !' again to the crowd. Nine
minutes to 2 p.m. there was another crash ; the body
fell fully sft. Tin., but this time it remained suspended.
The groat firmness and courage with which he walked
on the scaffold the second time elicited the admiration
of everybody."

HIATT DAMAORS.-4 trial, which lasted two
days, in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, before Lord
Mackenzie and a jury, V! AM concluded on Friday. The
pursuer was Samuel Whitlow, residing at Elmbank,
Beaton Norris, Stockport, lately manager in the em-
ployment of Benjamin Whitworth and Brothers, cotton
brokers, &c., in Mancheiver ; the defendants were
the Caledonian Railway Company. The issue sent to
the jury was whether, on the 20th November last, the
pursuer, in Queen-street, Glasgow, was injured in his
person by a bale falling from a lorry belonging to the
defenders, through the fault of the defenders, to the
loss, injury, and damage, of the pursuer! The damages
were laid at £5,000. The jury returned • verdict for
the pursuer, damages at £1,500.

THIRTY-FOUR YEARS IN 011ANCERY.

of the Standard writes :

"A question has just come before Mr. Hall, one of
the chief clerks of the Court of Chancery, on a sum-
mons taken out by a Mr. Poucione, eolicitor to the
representatives of George Soane, the younger son of the
celebrated Sir John Soane, as to whether they were not
entitled to a moiety of certain articles in regard to which
it was contended Sr John Somme had died intestate. By
a recent order made in a snit of "Couduitt v. Swami," an
intestacy was declared in respect of the articles directed
toy the will of Sir John 501.1113 to be kept as heiri3oms,
and by a subeequent order it was directed that such
arti .les should be delivered up, and that the repre-
sentatives of George Soane (should be entitled to •
moiety of the articles, the representative. of John
Soane the elder, eon of Sir John Soane, wlo had died in
his father's lifetime, being elititlea to the other moiety.
In pursuance of till, order, a chest of plate, which bad
been lying at the Bank of England since the death
of Sir John Soane in 1839, was delivered up and
equally divided between the repreeentatives of J.
Soaue and G. Somme. The representatives of George
Soane now applied that a gold medal received by Sir
Join. Soane lIP the prim for the beet architectural
design, a diamond ring presented to Sir John Soane
by the Emperor of Russia, and a gold ring, with the
hair of Napoleon Bonaparte therein, should be deli-
vered up in pursuance of the order directing
the division of the articles in regard to which
Sir John Soane had been declared to have died
intestate. It appears, however, that these par-
ticular article. had been delivered up to John
Soane, the grandson of SieJohn Soane, on his at-
taining his majority in 1844, for his use during his
life, he first entering tot an undertaking to keep the
articles safely during his life. It has been ascer-
tained that the gold ring with the hair of Napoleon
Bonaparte therein is now in the possession of a mem-
ber of John Soane'e family, but it is not known
whether John Soane parted with the other two articles
during his life, or into wham possession the articles
came on his death in 1848, and a question now arose as
to whether John Soane's estate should not be liable for
a m iiety of the value of the missing article& The
Chief Clerk ultimately thought that he could make
no order until iomething more definite was known as
to what had become of the gold medal and diamond
ring, and the matter therefore stool over.*

THE LATE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

On Saturday afternoon, in presence of scarcely mor
than 100 persons, an interesting ceremony was
missed at Chiselhurst. The Empress of the Frew`
laid the foundation stone of a new chapel which is t
be ere Aed adjoining the present Roman Cathoh
chapel, and which it is proposed to make the fa
resting place of the remains of the late Empert
Napoleon.
Precisely at the time appointed, the Empress, 100101 '
panied by the Prince Imperial, arrived at the chord
entrance in a private carriage, and was received by till
Rev. J. Goddard. In attendance Were Count Cis,
Baron Corvisart, Madame Conneau and son,
Filon (tutor to the Prince Imperial), M. Pietri.
M. de St. Pulgent. The Empress, leaning on the arn
of her eon, was conducted to the spot where, the Joni
dation stone had been placed. The Rev. J. Godda4
read a prayer, and sprinkled the stone with b
water. The Empress, who had been presented with
handsome silver trowel and !mall black mallet, ton•
the stone at each corner, and the ceremony, which
not lasted many minutes, was concluded. The nrj
press and the Prince Imperial and their attelioJ9'
then returned to Camden House.
The proposed chapel will be in the Gothic style, IST
will be built entirely of Bath stone. On tlitgyet
aide there will be an altar, and in the centre W
sarcophagus in which the Emperor's remains will
placed, and which is the gift of Her Majesty trel
Queen, who a short time since inspected the site. The
altar will be dedicated to the Virgin, the public eutraao
to which will be from the present church, by a groinrt
arched doorway, with a wheeled window above. A .
private entrance will be provided for the Empress slrt
the Prince Imperial. The intended building will b

to be entirely composed of Caen stone; the exterior
walla, as above stated, being of Bath stone. The cos
of the building will be borne by the Empress Engenk

THREATENED STRIKE OF THE
LONDON MASONS.

It seems probable that a severe struggle is on the eve
of taking place in the London budding trade. An ag-
gregate meeting of the carpenters and joiners is to be
held, at which a proposition will be brought forward
by the Committee of Delegates for at once striking
some of the leading firma, the Master Builders' All4O-
- having refused to concede the advance of wages
from 41. to 91. per hour as asked for in the memorial
sent in by the men. The masoLs contend that they
have even a stronger claim than the carpenters for the
halfpenny advance, inasmuch as they positively assert
that in making the c ,mpromise with the Com-
mittee of Masters for the settlement of the dispute
in 1872, it was expressly understood by both parties
that if trade was at all good this season the masons
should receive the 9d. per hour. In January last the
Mason's Committee gave six months' notice to the
employers that they should require the fulfilment of
this agreement. The reply of the Masters' Committee
to this notice was to the effect that they were prepared
to give the advance from 80. to 9d. per hour on the lit
of March, 1874, but that in so doing they would
require that the hour for leaving work on Saturdays
should be one o'clock instead of twelve o'clock, !is is
now the rule with the masons. This latter condition
is repudiated by the masons, who state that they
would not accept the 0, advance if offered at once
clogged with this objectionable condition, and the
employers have been distinctly informed that
if they decline to carry out unconditionally the
prouder they made last year, the general body of the
masons will cease working in July next, when the six
months' notice has expired. On this occasion the
masons of the London lodges will act with the full sup-
port and sanction of the executive council of the
society, which was wanting in last year's dispute, and
which induced the men suddenly to accept the com-
paomise which created so much ill-feeling between the
masons and the other branches in the building trades.
It is stated on good authority that the committee of
employers repudiate the agreement referred to by the
masons as never existing, and that they are determined
to keep to their offer of not conceding the advance
before March, 1874. Arne gements are being made
for convening an aggregwe meeting of operatives in all
the branches of the building trade for the purpose of
securing united action.

" Creche "—s nursery for infant children—has recently been

UNPAID MAGISTRATES.

A rather severe sentence recently passed by
the justices of Chipping Norton upon some
women cuarged with at offence under the Crimi-
nal Law Amendment Act, has directed public
attention to the comparative advantages of paid
and unpaid magistrates On several previous
occasions the extraordinary decisions of country
benches have awakened the saute enquiry, and
tome is lithe doubt that the question 'viii be
, raised again by stmilar cases, it is admitted on
! all sides that a tribunal cootposed of squires
: mid clergymen is a serious and great evil, and
that tee employment of ElieLIU as judge i in impor-
tant criminal cases is fraught with the danger
of mal-administration of the law, and it should
be remembered that the gentlemen who are
selected as the dispensers of justice in rural die-
tricts are, as a rule, ignorant of the law. Nor
i. this tote onty bit upon hi: system. Every
magistrate tom sits " lit terrible show "is inure
or less influenced by local traditions and preju-
dices, and the unfortunate prisoner who may go
contrary to either the one or tue other must not
expect much leniency extended to him. As an
example uf this, the public press have had, on
30 many occasions, to record fearfully harsh
sentences passed upon old women caught gait],
snug two or three sticks from the squire's park,
or starving labourers surprised in the act of
"annexing,' to use a diplomatic expression, a
few turnips from an adjacent tield. ludeed,
justices' justice nue become a subject of ridicule
and reproach throughout the country, and the
Appointment of stipendiary magistrates would
most probably be welcomed the most heartily by
the great unpaid, whom they would supplant.
Such an act of legislation as this, sweeping
though it must necessarily be, would have at
least one good effect, namely, that of relieving
a body of estimable gentlemen from tue onerous
and thankless duties they are at present called
upon to perfurm.

RAISING PRICES-AND ITS EFFECTS!

The effect of American tariffs in raising prices
has long been the subject of comment. It la
brought out rather forcibly in a letter addressed to
the New York World. The writer takes a house and
its materials and furniture seriatim, showing how
the "protection of home industry' in this case taxes
the consumer. The materials are taxed :—The
bricks 20 per cent., cement 20 per cent., timber 20
per cent., iron 50 to 60 per cent., nails, spikes, and
rivets 55 to 60 per cent., screws 70 to 80 per cent.,
lead 47 per cent., zinc about 40 per cent, slates 40 per
cent., window glass 67 per cent., paint and varnish 68
to 70 per cent., marble 65 to 70 per cent., locks 35 per
cent, butts and hinges 80 per cent." the writer con-
tinuos :—" But let us go into the hoteL Wipe your
boots, you careless rustic. Do you know that car-
pet is taxed 70 per cent.? Now, let us register. That
steel pen is taxed nearly 70 per cent. Don't spill the ink;
it is taxed 35 per cent. The paper in tharegister.book
is taxed 31 per cent. And now let us go to dinner,
That chair you are sitting on, with all its materials,
is taxed fully 45 per cent. ; the table-napkins 40 per
cent, the jug with the ice-water 45 per cent,. and
the glass in which you pour the water is taxed M per
cent. The utensils with which your dinner Ls cooked
are taxed in average over 50 per cent, and the
plates you eat from are taxed 45 per cent. I shall
leave out all the tax that may enter into the viands.
These are not what doubled your board. Now let us
go to your bedroom; o course the carpet, as I said, is
taxed 70 per cent., the sheeting, and cotton fabrics on
your bed are taxed 65 per cent, in average, and the
blankets are taxed 1.40 per cent., while the very soap
you rise is taxed 58 per cent. Can you wonder at in..
