FEEDING THE SWAIM—SO Much was said about the
swans at the last municipal election that we have enquired
what prospects there might be of these birds forming a
, real attraction to the town. We find that about 70 are
, located at the island in the Backwater, and teem very
comfortable in, and attached to, the place. It is too far
from the town for the birds to be seen much of if they
remained there ; but a plan had been adopted by Mr.
Vickery and Mr. Gillingham which promises to have a very
good result. They are fed each day about nine o'clock or
thereabolts in front of the upper part of Commercial
rend, and they come down the Backwater very gracefully
sometimes in long lines or in an orderly body to the
accustomed place. It has been well said that the way to
the affections of the lower animals is through the
stomach, and accordingly these birds have become quite
tame. On Thursday morning we visited the
place, and found about 23 gnats packed in a
cloee line under the Backwater Quay wall, devouring
grain as fast as their keeper strew it on the edge. The
people
of the neighbourhood brought out odd pieces of
, and these were eagerly snatched up, a good deal of
fun being camel by the manamvres of the birch to get the
biggest bits. The stir was evidently perceived at the
Swannery, and another detatchment came hastily
down, to share the feed. The bread was thrown far out
and the flock scattered in pursuit, some very pretty
races being the result Thus scattered, the cygnete
looked very well, their arched necks and graceful atti-
tudes bearing out all that has been said in praise of the
shape of this royal lord. But, as yet, the cygnets are
of dusky colour at the tips of the feathers, and they
have not the knob on the bill, which marks the royal
swan. They formed an interesting sight, but far
less no than will be the case next year when
they have their white plumage. We may then expect
them down as much as now if care he taken not to
feed them anywhere else. They are exusslingly tame,
will take food from the hand, and the people of the
neighbourhood are very fond of them. The cost is some-
what under £lOO a year; but we may expect the expense
of feeding to he reduced rather than increased, for next
year, as the visitors arrive, it will be if the birds remain,
quite a fashionable employment of the forenoon to go to
the Radipole lake, and feed the swans.
gxrtssusors.—At the Borough Petty Sessions on Friday
last, before Dr. Joseph Drew, Mr 0. Reyoolds, sad Dr. M.
11w-it, the following eatishictory termination of a doable mis-
understanding took place :—" Mr Hanna : May it please you,
sirs, with your perniledon I should like to make a few observa-
tions with referenee to. dismission between the Bench and
myself which took place last Tuesday week. lam reported,
and correctly so. to have rid on that occasion that certain
promalinge were most disgraceful. I oertalnly admit using
these words : but I son given to understand by certain parties
that the Bench were under the impression that my observations
applied to them. I beet to tell you such was not my intention,
three worth; were never intended to epply to the Bench, and I
hope as long as I have the privilege of practising here, I shall
behave myself in • satisfactory manner towards the magistrates,
and treat them with the greatest amount of respect and
courtesy. I hope no conduct or word of mine will ever call
down censure upon my head On that occasion, and in conse-
quence of a remark made by. certain person, *HOC observations
were made in reference to myself as the charge in that cue.
Now, sirs, as I have already stated through the medium of the
Press, I did not make that charge ; the charge was voluntarily
fixed by the other vile. The sum paid was not for appearing
once in the caw but for having attended may client seven or
eight times, which superintendrnt Vickery will bar me out in
saying ; five Mips. did I wait upon Mr Howard, and telegrams
