Tax TRIAL OF MR. GORDON.—The Solicitors'
Journal rye :—We do rot think that we owe any apology
to our readers for drawing their attention to one of the
gravest constitutional questions which could arise in the
present day, viz. :—The limit of military authority in times
of civil disturbance. We believe that the nature and ope-
ration of " martial law" is mach misunderstood, and that
the law of this laud is is douser of being overridden, at
least in our dependencies, by practically arbitrary audio.
rite ; and we therefore desire, and consider it to be our duty
es a legal journal to call attention as prominently as we
an to what the law of England is on this subject. It la
because the trial of Gordon raises this q.. .1 100 in a distinct
form that we have given it so prominent a place in oar
columns. We have said, and we repeat it, that the sumo
Lion of a man guilty of high treasoo, by virtue of the sen-
tence of &military tribunal, is murder by the law of England,
aster the man was actually taken in arms, and even then
tf it was possible to try him in the Kits courts ; and as
Lord Coke says the same thing (3 lust.), we do tot feel
disposed to retract a word of it ; we have said, and we re-
peat it, that the judicial murder of a Bridal subject, how-
ever justly: he may have merited his fate, is of graver
import than the horrors of the Indian mutiny itself • for
the or are but the atrocities of a lawless mob, the other is
the inroad of the executive power upon the province of the
law. In what respect these entinients are incoasistent
with our independence of party politics we other see
there is now, we believe, no party, in England which holds
the crown to be above the law, but if there be we are point.

THE MAIN DRAINAGE OF LONDuN.--011 Satur-
day the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
beaded by Sir John Thwairs, the chairman, paid a visit
to the spot on the Plaistow Marshes where the river Lea
prise through the Abbey Mills, for the purpose of laying
the foundation stone of the Abbey Mills pumping station
—a building which is to rival the works at Crossness, and
in which will be the means of raising the sewage of the low
level of London to the great high and middle level sewers.
Oa arriving on the ground the party immediately de.
weeded into what apreered to be the bowels of the earth,
some forty feet below the enlace of the ground, sod twelve
below the bed of the River Lea. In descending, some
'teeming stones and rubbish attracted attention, and on
inquiry it turned out that the material—gravel and
excavated at this depth was really quite hot, es hot rat;
as if boiling water bad been poured upon it, and the large
atones retained their heat for a considerable time after
being brought to the surface. The company pared through
some of the completed sewer, which in its length of fire
miles from the Tower has to go under two branches of the
Lea and under the river itself. The subterranean pas.
twee, which is about twelve feet high, was brilliantly
lighted, and led to the site of the station, lied if the pleas
may be taken as any guide, it will be a building as hand-
some as it will be useful. Mr. Butilgette, the engineer,
read a statement, which was engrossed for median in the
stone, showing that the sewer of which this was the mouth
would drain 251 square miles, and would have to raise about
5,000.000 cubic feet of sewage • day, and that tie engine
power, about 1,140-horse, was provided for the raising of
15,000 cubic fest per minute, so that all storm rains could
be safely carried off. Mr. Foilsman teen formally laid the
stoma. The works are being carried out under Mr. Edmund
,
Cc the resident engineer.
