THE ARBITRATION SOC WTY.

It will be in the memory of our readers that two weeks
ago we spoke of a Society under the above name b 'sing in the
progress of formation in this town, and that its obk 'et
was to
be the cheap and equitable settlement of differences arising
from disputed accounts or otherwise, without the ex pensive
recourse of applying to lawyers. Twelve arbitrators vere to
be elected from the genera: body of the members ; anei when
eny dispute was required to be settled, the parties con cerned
were each to select one from the twelve ; and in case the two
so selected could not agree in their decision, they were to se-
lect, as umpire, smother of the arbitrators, whose d ?vision
should be binding.
This paragrah, we are glad to perceive, has excited consi-
derable attention from our Contempo%-aries, and in The Sum
of Wednesday we find a leading article upon the subject. We'
are glad at this, because it will tend tc.' fulfil the hope which
we then expressed, that such Societies w,ould become general
throughout the kingdom, and thus prevewt the ruinous effects
which legal quibbles and litigation are continually producing.
That such societies will soon become general, we can
scarcely allow ourselVes to doubt. Let our :On tisne 11 then
exert themselves. and be the first to esta,ilisll, as they hale
been the first to project, an Arbitration Societe. The whole
scheme is of such a highly beneficial tendenc), that they must
make haste, or be disgracefully beaten in the tzetteral avidity
to adopt it.
We have not before us a copy of all the laws already made.
or rather proposed, but we believe there is one to the effect
that every member must enter into a written agreement to
abide by the decisions of the arbitrators; and that, in every'
case of dispute, securities are to be given, note to appeal front
that decision to a legal Court—securies, too, of such ample
amount as may be considered sufficient to prevent, or severely
punish, any dishonourable attempt to break through this agree"
ment.—Preston Observer.

An inquest was held last night, in Crown-street,
Soho, on the body of a child three years of age, whose
death, as appeared in evidence, arose from having drunk
quantity of boiling water from a tea-kettle. The Coroner
and Jury strongly censured the negligence of parents i
allowing their children to have such opportunities.—Ver.
diet, " Accidental death."

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—TERMINATION
THE INQUIRY.—The Commissioners appointed to inquire
into the state of Mr. Taylor's mind, on Satrsrday brought
their labours to an end. The alleged lunatic underwent
anodic: lengthened examination, in the course of which
he loudly complained of the treatment he had rece;ved
from his sons. The jury pronounced " Mr. John Taylor
to be of unsound mind since the month of October, 1836.
Mr. Taylor has between 3,0001. and 4,0001. in the Three
per Cents., and some houses at Ball's-pond, Islington.
His father was three times Mayor of Henley-on-Thatnegr
and an Alderman of that town. Mrs. Baxter, the lanel•
lady of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, is his
niece. It is calculated that the expense of working thi4
commission of inquiry will amount to 2,7004, in addition
to the costs, which will necessarily accrue on the suit in
Chancery between the lunatic and his son Richard. There
werc three dissenting jurors, namely, Messrs. Tulle
Whisken, and Smith.
