EVIDENCE IN THE COURT Or CHANCERT.—The
new rules and orders in Chancery will regulate the admis-
sion of evidence, both oral and documentary, in proceedings
under the new acts, which acts will affect some consider-
able alterations with respect to evidence in the court. The
evidence on both sides, whether taken orally or upon affi-
davit, is to be closed within nine weeks after issue joined.
The Court has power to enlarge the time, but after the
period fixed no further evidence is to be given without the
special leave of the Court. Any witness who has made an
affidavit is to be subject to oral cross-examination within
one month after the expiration of the nine weeks stated, by
or before an examiner, in the same manner as if the evidence
given by him in his affidavit had been given by him orally.
Any party in any cause or matter may, by subpoena, require
the attendance of any witness to be examined before an
examiner, and may use his evidence upon any claim, mo-
tion, petition, or other proceeding, before the Court, in like
manner as such witness would be bound to attend and be
examined with the view to the hearing of a cause. tinder
the new law something like expedition will be attained in
obtaining evidence.

PEDESTRIANISM EITRAORDINARY.—A young gen-
tleman of Glasgow started on Sunday morning last, at a
quarter past one o'clock, en a pedestrian tour to Dundee, a
distance of fully 84 miles, and that notwithstanding; the dis-
suasions of apprehensive friends, who insisted that his slight-
built frame would prove unequal to the task. Stirling was
reached between seven and eight o'clock, where the amateur
pedestrian breakfasted; and on resuming his journey at the
latter hour ha was joined by two of his acquaintances,
whom, however, he was compelled to leave behind at the
fifteenth mile-stone, arriving at Perth at ten minutes past
six in the evening. At this stage a halt was made of three-
quarters of an hour, when, after dinner, the dauntless youth
was again on the road, and successfully completed his ardu-
ous task in little more than 23 hours, having reached
Dundee at 15 minutes past twelve o'clock on Monday morn-
ing. The triumphant accomplishment of this difficultun-
dertaking is all the more extraordinary when we consider
that the pedestrian busily drives the quill in the office of one
accom-
plishtls ,h of
es
of our leading storekeepers daily, and is not yet 2

some large tracts of land being disposed of at very moderate
prices, he was induced to become a purchaser. He bought
2,5000 aces, at 2s. Gd. an acre I Scarcely had he done so
when a person in the room offered him 101. if he would
transfer the purchase. The offer was accepted, and it was
arranged that the money should be paid the following day.
But it was not—therefore the land remained in Captain S.''s
possession. It is now of considerable value, being in the
centre of the gold regions.—Liverpool Mercztry.
A Owes TOILETTE.—An amusing circumstance
occurs every morning in Bridge-street-row, Chester, close by
the entrance to the Chronicle office. When the servant is
employed polishing the external brasses of Mr. Davis's (the
chemist) shop, the spaniel belonging to the latter makes a
point of taking up his station on the stall to watch the ope-
ration, and as soon as it is finished offers his neck to the man
for the purpose of having his brass collar furbished up in a
manner suitable to a dog of his pretensions. Sometimes the
servant pretends to forget this mark cif attention, when Don
takes care to remind him of his neglect by a very significant
bark. The process of adornment invariably concludes by
the presentation of his paw, as an acknowledgment to his
fatet craft—Pear asronicie.
