a respectable character during nearly twenty-five
years' practice, facts for which every just allowance
should be made in deciding the question, and on
which the judgments of the Court of Gibraltar, in
discharging the rule, and of the Privy Council, in
dismissing
the appeal, were chiefly founded.
We are not disposed to find fault with either judg-
ment, although it cannot be denied that Mr. Conzi-
WELL was very leniently dealt with, and that he
would have been very differently treated if the tran-
saction had occurred in any part of the United
Kingdom. The evil chiefly arose from his joining
so many different and almost conflicting functions in
his own person. As a barrister, he could not pro-
perly attend at the gaol for the purpose of seeing—
not his own client—but the opposite party ; as an
attorney, however,
such interviews were not only al-
lowable, but might have been essential to the in-
terests of his clients. Let it not for a moment be
supposed that we mean to assert that an attorney
would have been justified in acting like
Mr. CORNWELL, or that he would be likely
to have done so. Far from it. But
persons acting in the double capacity would be more
likely to fall into the mistake than those who
restricted themselves to their own peculiar duties.
And this is the extent to which we desire to push the
argument.

Now there can be no doubt that there is at present
a tendency in that direction in this country, and that

tit
originated in the impolitic clause in the original
County Courts Act, forbidding a barrister to
practise unless duly instructed by an attorney. This in-
duced in many instances a desire to obtain a monopoly
which led to the practical exclusion of the bar from
those tribunals until, at length, it was found neces-
sary to repeal the restriction. Had there never been
such a provision we have no doubt that the bar would
have maintained the etiquette of the profession.
But, under present circumstances, there is
great danger of mischief arising, if tact and
forbearance be not exhibited on both sides. We
would then earnestly suggest to the members of both
professions the expediency of, as speedily as possible,
entering into negotiations for the purpose of arrang-
ing all differences, and placing the rights and privi-

question of such importance, whatever its own opi-
nion may be, it is willing to allow discussion. M.
VERON concludes in the following terms :
Al! Europe is
for peace. Did not the Prince Presi-
"
dent himself admit this truth, when, on the 29:h March,
he said before the great bodies of the State—' The
foreign powers respect our independence, and we have
every interest in keeping up the most friendly relations
with them. So long as the honour of Franca shall not
be called in question, the duty of the Government will
be to avoid carefully any cause of perturbation in
Europe, and to turn all our efforts towards domestic
ameliorations which can alone procure comfort to the
working classes, and secure the prosperity of the coun-
try.' A reduction of our army, accomplished by the
will ef the President of the Republic, would, therefore,
overcome the most obstinate mistrust; would prove to
his most persevering enemies that Louis Napoleon,
who,e, heart was, and always will remain open to the
susceptibilities of national honour, in his acts as in his
language, dreams neither of the manners nor the glory
of another epoch. Not being able to find anything but
subjects of affliction and of mourning in the disasters of
the end of the Empire, he has at least drawn from them
the useful disenchantments of experience. Such a re-
duction therefore of the army would assist the budget in
diminishing the land-tax; it would be a new means of
isolating socialism, and of making it suspected by all,
and of rendering it no longer necessary to keep several
of our departments on a ruinous war I t" "
oo ing.
The Civil Tribunal was called upon, on Wednes-
day last, to decide whether French tribunals have
power to entertain questions relative to the property
of foreigners who die in France after a long resi-
dence, and after having obtained what the French
law calls a " real domicile," without, however, having
been naturalised, or having obtained from the Go-
vernment the right to establish the domicile. A
Hanoverian, named BRUEL, came to Paris thirty
years ago and commenced business as a dealer in
porcelain and bronzes. He always considered him-
self a Hanoverian, when he travelled he took Hano-
verian passports, and applied to the Hanoverian
Embassy when his interests had need of protection.
In 1847 he married a Frenchwoman, and in 1851
died. His widow demanded the division of his
property according to his will and under the French
laws; his natural heirs demanded that he should be
considered a Hanoverian, and that his property should
be dealt with according to the laws of their country.
The Tribunal decided that BxUEL had obtained a real
domicile in France, and that it has jurisdiction in
disputes about his property. In the judgment, it
declared it a general rule of French law, " that the
foreigner who fixes his real residence in France,
or has had the intention to do so, obtains a
domicile even without an authorisation from the
Government."

M. GOUDET, keeper of the archives of Toulcuse,
has written to the Assemblie Nationale to state that
the root of the plant known in France as the Iris
Germanique is an infallible care for hydrophobia.
About 60 grammes (not quite two ounces) of tae
root must be taken; they must be well washed aLd
peeled, cut into pieces of the size of a die, and fri€d
in hog's lard or fresh butter ; they must then be
mixed with two or three eggs, and made into an
omelette without salt. The person or animal bitten
must be made to eat one of these omelettes on three
successive days. M. GOUDET says that he has known
dogs bitten by mad dogs recover after eating of the
omelette; whilst other dogs bitten at the same time
have died. He says also that a physician of Toulouse
gave the omelette to his child, who had been bitten
by a mad dog three months ago, and that the child
has since experienced no ill effects. The remedy,
M. GOUDET adds, was communicated to him by an
old monk of the Abbey of Grand Selve, one of the
religious houses destroyed in the revolution. This
convent was at one time famous for its cures of hydro-
phobia. The Cure of Turretot, near Rouen, has
written to the same journal to say that the family of
a letter-carrier of Crequetot l'Esneval has been known
for between 50 and 60 years as in possession
of a
secret for curing hydrophobia, and that they have
very frequently applied it with great success.
