failures teints, to describe retreats as brilliant flank move-
ments, and it may be expected he will look at murder,

eB, in a leading article, answers, by anticipation, some
of
these cavils.
reONTRABAND OF WAR.—THE QUESTION OF COAL. The
ah"es says the government desires to avoid pronouncing
V,,,Y °Pinion whether coal is to be considered contraband.
ss Is if carrying such cargoes do so at their own risk, and
bp,ucY are seized by a belligerent power, and brought
ae-,Tre a proper court for adjudication, the decision then
Trod at will help to guide future views upon the, question.
e -trera/ri says more decidedly that the extensive coal
illegal,
recentlfentered into at Cardiff and Newcastle are
egal, and will, it is' thought entail very serious conse-
quencesh on shipowners who do not endeavour to retrace
heir steps.

Wf,°lltnent for misdemeanour, on information being given
the existence of any such contract. This decision applies
lnally to vessels chartered before or subsequently to the
