BARRINGTON„ AND 1118 FRIENDS.—TiIi3
el.T"tic novel, regarding the author of which so much

kigationt Particularly as regards actions for debt. It

&Noe be hoped that good will arise from the development
s, startling in themselves, and pregnant with matter
'for earnest thought. The Honourable and Reverend
