decided in the second division of the Court of Session.
It refers to a chimney stalk and other buildings
_ _ erected in the romantic valley between the old and
new town of Edinburgh, and which, forming the
central railway terminus, has more than once been in
danger of having its beauties defaced. The court has
ordered it to be taken down, but it is likely to be
appealed to the House of Lords.

EVILS or LOAN 2Zairiie:lAt Liverpool, on Wed-
nesday, R. Tisdale was charged by the officers of a loan
society with forging the name of a person named Nelson to
a bond upon which 51. bad been advanced. The defence
was, that the prisoner was innocently brought into the
transaction, and that he had signed the name of Nelson, with
the knowledge and at the request of Mrs. Nelson. In laves-
.
tigating the ease, it appeared that the other surety to the
sane bond h 4 signed O'Brien, whereas her name was Kelly,
and that she did so with the consent and by the advice of one
of the officers of the society, named Smith. It also appeared
that after the money was obtained, Smith went with the
borrower and his friends to a public house, and drank till
two o'cloz.k in the morning ? Mr. Rushton said the case
was a mass of fraud altogether. There were at least two
forgeriee in it. It was ► practical illustration of the abuse
of (Lisa societies, and the evil tendencies of them when
carried beyond a certain extent. What could they expect
when, after the money was gut, away went ens of the
oaken with the borrower, and drank in a public-house
till two o'clock in the morning. He beheved these
societies were the most demoralising things in Liverpool.
At a later period of the same day, during the hearing of a
Dumber of summonses against borrowers from the Impe-
rial Loan-office and their sureties, it appeared that a
girl, in order to get a loan of 61. for her mother, had been
induced to say she was 21 years of age, although she wuonly
in her 19th year. Upon this Mr. Rushton remarked that he
did not believe there was is all the world an r cause
of demoralisation than these facitties. Tisdale was again
brought up, when it was stated that Mrs. Nelson had chat
up her house and could ant be found. Mr. Rushton said it
was a eery bed ease on the part of the prisoner st the bar ;
but however bad against him, it was as bad against Smith,
the officer of the society, and showed how cautions people
ought to be of having anything to do with the Waters of
loan societies, poor people particularly. It was a mass of
baud and roguery altogether.
