THE. PROJECTED MEETING TN HYDE PARR.

The Star rislicalet the ukase issued by Sir Richard
Mayne against the projected reform demonstra-
tion in Hyde-park, declaring that the arrogaswe
of purpose is only equalled by the ridiculous
pomposity of its fussy, foolish style. A meet-
ing in the park, the Star believes, is entirely legal so long
u it is properly conducted. At any rate the question is no
more for Sir Richard Mayne's decision than the value of •
disputed election return or the genuineness of a title to
property. English working men thoroughly understand
the position and the authority of Sir Richard Mayne, and
would no more think of accepting his decision on • subject
which, if it involves any legal question at all, involves a
very grave and important one, than they would think of
submitting their political opinions to the dictate of the
humblest policeman who tramps along his beat.
