A JUDICIAL DIFFICULTY.—The case of Pitt v.
Pitt came before the Second Division of the Court of
Session on Friday last, on a motion to apply the judgment
of the House of Lords. The appeal was upon the question
of jurisdiction, on which point the House of Lends reversed
the judgment of the Court below, curtailing its jurisdiction,
and ordered that the appellant ba " assoilzied." The Lord
Justice-Clerk said the judgment of the House of Lords was
inconsistent with itself, for, if this Court hadno jurisdiction,
plainly it could not Rronounce a judgment of absolvitor,
any more than it could a judgment to the opposite effect.
It was obvious that the House of Lords or the Clerk of
Parliament had used a term in Scotch law the meaning of
which they did not understand, for they could not mean
that a Court having no jurisdiction was to pronounce upon
the merits of the case. There was, however, a remit to this
Court to do what was just and consistent with the House of
Lords' judgment, and he did not think they would bedoing
what was just or consistent with it were they to give decree
of absolvitor, He thought the application of the judgaaent
should be to pronounce an interlocutor dismissing the action.
The Court resolved accordingly.

ERRORS OF THE PRESS.—I have been referred
to a volume of popular sermons, in which, owing
to the negligence of the proof readers, a deplorable number
of typographical errors appeared. One of these, as if
in reference to the others, was singularly appropriate
to the unhappy circumstances of the poor author;
the verse, "Princess have persecuted me without a cause,"
reading "Printers have persecuted me without a cause."

remember a great public demonstratiin that took place in a
town in which I was residing at the time. After one or
two unimportant speeches a certain demagogue arose whose
appearance was the signal for loud and entnuAiastie cheer-
