other gentlemen of high standing as architects aged builders.
The usual leading toasts having been duly honoured, the
Chairman gave " Prosperity to the Builders' Benevolent In
stitation." It was an instituti-n much needed, and the
plan of which had been well conceived sad carried out ;
and he toured it would before long become one
of the most important institutions of the country. (Cheers )
In their business we builders they were exposed to great
vicissitudes. They were frequently engaged in extensive
operations entailing large establishments and a heavy ex-
penditure, and after groat exertions had been made, a long
interval might elapse without any employment, to say
nothing of the cases in which, atter their duty had been
bonourals'y performed, they were unable to obtain a fair

Among the persons summoned to serve en the grand jury
were several who claimed 4 :emotion on the ground that
they were sleeks in government offices. Cugentleman said
he held a situation in the Fo, eign•offiee, and his absence
from his duties would be attended with income( Wine* to the
public servos. He was not at liberty to state publicly the
particular reasons why this would be so, but would privately
inform the court. There were so many claims fur exemp•
ties that there were but thirteen jurors to be sworn. Mr.
Thomas Carlyle was the foreman.
The learned Judge skid that the government clerks then
in court were exempt by act of parliament. The present
jury was summoned from the locality of Chelsea, and it was
extraordinary the number of excesses that had been made.
The not time a jury was brought from that neighbourhood
an extra twelve must be ssiasisaed.
