A frowns is reported to have taken place on Mon-
day evening on board the mail steamer Connaught, on the
passage from Kingstots a to Holyhead, between an Irish
M.P. and an enterprising capitalist now settled iu Ireland.
It appears some badinage over wane about the capitalist
starting in opposition for the borough of an M.P. led after
a while some severe blows and nose-pulling, which, it is
said, v. 31 probably lead to a suit against the M.P. in one
of the civil coc+s.
The secretary for the Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Calcutta, writing of the death of the
Bishop of Calcutta, says:—" His lordship had just returned
from consecrating the burial-ground of Kooshtea, and was
going on board the lieutenant-governor's yacht Rotas.
The Rotas was lying outside another flat, the Ganduck,
the approach to which was by a narrow, insecure platform.
The bishop was feeling his way in the dusk of evening with
a walking-stick, and a man was preceding him with a
lantern. The servant who followed says that his stick
slipped beyond the plank, and that the bishop stumbled
and fell. The water was deep and the current strong. He
was never seen afterwards."

Common Law for the Equity Bar, where his great talents
and industry soon secured a large practice. In 1329 he

name of Bruce by royal license, he closed his
Parliamentary career by an unsuccessful struggle for
the representation of the borough of Cambridge ; and in
1141, at the age of 313, was raised to the bench as Vice-
Chancellor. Ten years later, in 1851, on the creation of
the Court of Appeal, Lord Cranworth and Sir J. Knight

lowing year, upon Lord Cranworth's elevation to the wool-
sack, Sir George Turner was appointed as his colleague,
and Sir J. Knight Bruce became senior lord justice, a posi-
tion he only resigned a fortnight before his death. Sir J.
