THE PEERS AND THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The Standard says the Peers may not insist upon every
one of their amendments but they will maintain the
principal ones, and the Government and the House of
Commons, whether they like it or not, and the Standard
believes the majority of the House of Commons will at
heart welcome the change, will have to accept them.
But the language used by the Government organs, and,
the Standard is sorry to add, by some members of the
Government, is significant of the temper of
the chiefs of the Government and theit ex-
trema followers. It illustrates the tactics by
which they gained power and seek to preserve it, and it is
a lesson to the House of Lords that it should never attempt
to conciliate Radical goodwill by the sacrifice of its inde-
pendence and convictions. To pretend that the amend-
ments are against the principle of the bill, or that they
will impair its successful working, is absurd, unless
those who so pretend will admit that the principle of
the bill is the confiscation of the larger portion of the
property of the landlords for the benefit of the tenants,
and that it will not work well unless the Landlord is
leprived of all control over his property, made a ward, in
fact, of the assistant barristers, and driven to be an
absentee. If the bill is an honest attempt to remedy, by
rweptional legislation, an exceptional state of things, to
~•ectire the tenant, but to injure as little as is possible the
I,,ndlerd, these amendments of the Peers ought to be
unarndgingly accented.

ACCIDENT TO ➢IMR. SHERIFF PATERSON.

---- •
About half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday an accident
happened to Mr. Sheriff Paterson as he was driving to
Windsor. The carriage was proceeding down the hill
near Clapham Junction when the horses became unma-
nageable, and dashed the carriage against a lamp-post.
The coachman and the footman were
_thrown from the
vehicle, and were severely contused and cut about the
head. Mr. Sheriff Paterson and Mrs. Paterson, who
was with him, were got out through the window, escaping
Without injury. The handsome state carriage was com-
pletely wrecked.

All William Day's horses were struck out of the
Goodwood Stakes after the appearance of the weights.
The Medical Times and Gazette regrets to hear
that Mr. Syme continues in a very precarious condition •

THE RECALL OF MR. MOTLEY.

The announcement of the recall of Mr. Motley, made

EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.

It was announced a few days ago that the Govern-
ment had promised—not a little to the astonishment
of most people—to guarantee a loan of one million
for New Zealand, the money to be expended in
public works and in promoting emigration. A Par-
liamentary paper just issued tells us what ale
scheme of emigration is to be. The New Zealand
authorities intend to appoint agents in England to
select emigrants, who will be required to furnish
only so much towards their passage as would suffice
to take them to America—from £2 to £4 each adult.
Tlie remainder of the passage money, amounting to
about £l2 each adult, will be defrayed by the Colonial
Government out of this loan. The New Zealand
authorities thus hope to introduce 30,000 emigrants
to the colony in the course of the next eight years.
There can be no doubt that such a scheme will prove
of much benefit to New Zealand. Emigrants at
present prefer America, mainly because of the small
cost involved in getting there; but now that the
New Zealand Government offers a passage for the
money that is needed to cross the Atlantic,
many people will doubtless be glad to
go to the fine southern colony. At the same time
there can be little doubt that in guaranteeing this
loan, Earl Granville has departed from the policy to
which he has hitherto adhered so rigidly. He him-
self admits it. In a despatch announcing his consent
he says :--" I trust that the decision of her Majesty's
Government to waive the objections which attach to
the guarantee of colonial loans, will be received by
the colonists of New Zealand as a proof of the deep
interest which they feel in the welfare and pros-
perity of this great possession of the Crown."

THE NEWARK ACCIDENT.

In anticipation of heavy damages for death and
injury resulting from the Newark accident, the Stock
Exchange already views unfavourably the shares of
the Great Northern and Sheffield companies, who
are interested. The Solicitors' Journal thinks this
depreciation very premature. Precedents shew that
it will be very difficult to bring home liability to
either of the injured companies. The case of
" Redhead v. the Midland Railway Company "
finally settled that companies were liable only for
negligence, and not as insurers. None of the guards,
drivers, or signalmen displayed any negligence
in this case. The waggons of the goods
train were all examined shortly before the
accident, and it does not follow that the
inspection was insufficient, for defects in iron are
frequently incapable of detection. As regards the
Sheffield Company, if they knowingly sent on to the
Great Northern line a defective waggon, it is possible
that they might be held responsible, but it is un-
likely that any knowledge of the defect can be
brought home to. them.

NORWICH ELECTION.

A telegram from Norwich bears witness to the strong
dislike which is felt to Mr. Tillett, the Radical candidate,
by both Conservativts and Whigs. It is not improbable
that some arrangement will be made for the Conserva-
tives to support Mr. Warner's candidature, in order that
the more extreme candidate may be ejected. A meeting
has taken place at which this was discussed, and it is said
to have come to the determination to effect a coalition
between the " moderates."

AN UNWELCOME ATTENDANT.

Pending the reorganisation of the metropolitan
police force, which, it is to be presumed, is now being
pushed forward with all the assiduity and zeal so
characteristic of the authorities of Scotland-yard, it
may be useful to call attention to a novel illustration
of the variety of uses to which a policeman may be
put. A correspondent, who signs himself" A Hospital
Visitor," writing to the Times, says that in one of our •
larger hospitals may generally be seen in some comfor-
table nook, close to the fire in winter, a constable in uni-
form. Lest the curious inquirer should fail to dis-
cover the business of this well-drilled, military-
looking personage, the correspondent is kind enough
to take us into his confidence. He is put there to
watch the occupant of a particular bed in that
ward, The man or woman is at once seen to
be in a thoroughly helpless condition, pale as deata,
with throat enveloped in bandages—in fact a case of
attempted suicide. It is the duty of the constable
to prevent the hetpless patient from running away,
and his presence is doubtless of great use
in preventing his recovery. If the in-
' valid were one of those persons who at
times come before the magistrates under the Habitual
Criminals Act, the presence of constable 999 L might
be valued by the public, but that he should be enjoy-
ing his cosy retreat while garrotters and jtwel robbers
are having their own way outside, is to say the least of
it, not productive of pleasant feelings in the breast
of the tax-hampered Englishman.

THE PRICE OF TELEGRAPHING.

A published correspondence between the New York,
Newfoundland and London, and the International Ocean
Telegraph Companies, furnishes some facts not at
all creditable to the• latter organization. The I. 0. T.
,Company charges for a telegram from Habana to any
office in Great Britain, Ireland or France, 15 dols. for 10
words ; but 'a telegram from Great Britain or France
to New York and thence to Havana is but 12 dole.
50 cents. This unjust discrimination against the messages
which cross the Atlantic is so great that it is con-
siderably cheaper to send a telegram from London to Salt
Lake City, and thence through this city to Habana; than
directly through the two cables. To a request that this
injustice be remedied the I. 0. T. Company makes an
offer to reduce its tolls if the other companies will reduce
theirs in the same proportion. But, as everybody knows,
the cost of a message by the Atlantic cable has been
reduced already from 100 dole. to 7 dols. 50 cents.
A computation shows that if the Cuba tariff were based on
the same proportion to cost of construction of
its cable as that of the lines crossing the Atlantic, the
I. 0. T. Company, where it now charges 6 dols., would
only receive 20 cents ; if based on length of lines, only 45
cents. Rut having an exclusive right by Act of Congress
for 14 years to connect the United States with the West
India Islands, the I. 0. T. Company take advantage of
their monopoly. The price limited by Congress was 3
dols. 50 cents., undoubtedly meaning currency and exclu-
sive of date, address and signature ; but even this liberal
tariff was deemed insufficient by the I. 0. Ts.,
who demand gold for every word, and charge as much on
a European despatch over their short line as the cost of
sending it across the Atlantic. We have a gentle hint for
this Cuban Telegraphic Company. If it cannot act with
decent regard for its charter, and for the rights of the
people under it, Congress can find a way to quicken its
perceptions, and the way may prove costly to its stock-
holders. If they are wise, they will take the hint. —New

THE DIFFERENCES AT THE ADMIRALTY.

It is stated through a trustworthy source that it is
most probable that both Sir Spencer Robinson, the
Controller of the Navy, and Mr. Reed, the Con-
structor, will remain in office. The matter, how ever,
has not been finally decided, the case being in all its
particulars one of an exceedingly perplexing cha-
racter. The United States Gazette expresses some
gratification at the possibility of new hands being
grafted into the Executive Department of the ser-
vice, and it declares, that although there is no doubt
that the allies have wisely seen their threat
to be ineffective, and consented not to vacate their
seats, still it would be felt as an insult
to the services if their conduct were passed over and
their resignations not accepted. The Army and
Navy Gazette does not view the matter in the same
light; that and other military journals believe that
the differences (which solely arise out of Sir Spencer
having felt himself aggrieved in being placed on the
retired list,) if they had ended in the retirement of
the two officers, might have considerably affected.
the administration of naval affairs, and brought about
changes anything but desirable at this crisis. Cap-
tain Robert Hall, C. 8., the present superintendent
of Pembroke Dockyard, would, in all probability,
have been the officer who would have been asked to
All Sir Spencer Robinson's position, had he retired,
and Mr. Reed's office, there is reason to believe, might
have been offered to Philip Thornton, Esq., the
present master shipwright at Chatham.

THE ORLEANIST PRINCES.

In spite of some evil omens, says the Daily .INews, we
yet trust that the Emperor of the French will feel himself
strong enough to be just and generous, and that the
demand of the Orleanist Princes for liberty to return to
France will be conceded. In this instance, justice and
generosity coincide with the truest prudence. In France
the Orleanist Princes would simply be illustrious French
citizens. To use the words of Louis XVIII. on his re-
storation, they would be only so many Frenchmen the
more. In England their relation to the country from which
they are shut out yno means expressed by saying that
they are so many Frenchmen the less. They are the
representatives of a rival dynast3 P and this character is
forced upon them by their exile. So long as that exile is
protracted, it is evident that the Emperor and his advisers
view them in this light. The representatives of a former
constitutional monarchy in France ought not to be ex-
cluded from France while the same experiment is being
tried anew, unless Napoleon 111. fears that their return
would recal to people's minds at once the duplicity of
statecraft, which discredited constitutional monarchy
two-and-twenty years ago, and the generous protests of
the younger mciP.bers of the then reigning house against
the sinister pi which brought about its failure. It is
short-sighted to banish his teachers.

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.

Rhode Island may be a very pretty place to live
in, but for poor mortals who are apt to relieve the
tediu m of a dull sermon by enjoying a few winks in
church it is a decidedly objectionable island. - A.
man in Rhode Island has been sent to gaol for ten
days for sleeping in church. The report fails,
however, to state whether the wicked
criminal snored or not, but from the
exceptional severity of the sentence, it is evident that
the wicked criminal was not content with silently
protesting against the too lengthy sermon, but ac-
tually made audible confession of his opinion. It is
fortunate that Rhode Island law is not a part of the
constitution of England, else it is to be feared that
the number of prisoners would be so large that the
preacher would be under the necessity of delivering
his sermon to empty pews.

THE MONARCH AND CAPTAIN.

The Standard says the public are generally aware that
the Monarch and the Captain, two ships of war of peculiar
construction, have lately been added to the British navy.
`l 'o a certain extent these vessels are on their trial, and it
is a matter of particular importance that their merits
should be clearly ascertained. The Captain has cost
about £350,000. The Monarch, including incidental
charges, is understood to have cost £450,000. Thus we
have a total of £BOO,OOO, expended on two ships,
constituting -a grand experiment in naval architecture—
and yet the House of Commons and the country are to be
kept in the dark as to the results ! It is certain that this
cannot be allowed. The expenditure of millions of money,
and the safety of the nation in time of war, may be said
to depend on the collection of proper data for the con.
struction of our navy. We presume that the report scot
in by Admiral Symonds shews the comparative behaviour
of the turret ships and the broadside vessels composing to-
gether the Channel squadron. We look, therefore, not
merely for a comparison between the Monarch and the
Captain, but for some account of the relative merits of
turret and broadside ships—a controversy by no means at
an end. Any conclusions on this point must materially
govern the expenditure for creating ships of war. We are
taking another step in naval artillery. The first 35-ton
gun is now being made at Woolwich, and if it proves suc-
cessful, we ought to turn it to the best account. The big
gun is the child of the turret ship, and it would seem
natural that the two should remain associated. We know
it is argued that a very large gun necessitates a
great diameter of turret, and therefore requires
great breadth and tonnage in the vessel. But surely
Mr. Reed could conquer such a difficulty as this if he were
determined upon it. A question also remains as to the
precise kind of turret ship which we should employ. The
turret ship of Captain Cowper Coles is not that of Mr.
Ericsson. Neither is the turret ship of Mr. Reed the
same as that of Captain Coles. The Monarch has a high
free board, while the Captain has a low one. That which
the country demands is a fair trial for the turret ship of
whatever form it may be. A fair trial involves a fair
hearing. Reports, whichever way they lead, must not
be suppressed ; and the Chief Constructor of the Navy
must be a thorough eclectic in the exercise of his impor-
tant functions.

Display of Fireworks and special Illumination of Great Foun-
tains, Terrace Fountains, Water Temples, and entire Park.
Grand as the fireworks are, it is only because allied with the
displays of fountains, the terraces, statuary, flower beds, and
the beautiful structure of the Palace itself, that they become so
unsurpassable. Attempts at firework displays elsewhere sink
into insignificance when compared with those given at the Palace,
where the Fountains, Terraces, Gardens, and Palace themselves
give the displays their chief charm.
This Grand Pyrotechnic Display, made as usual by Mr. C. T.
Brock, the Company's Pyrotechnist, will include—the Great Floral
Devices (100 feet in diameter) ; a Special Set Piece appropriate
to the occasion ; immense Cascades of Fire, Mammoth Coloured
Shells, Parachute Rockets, Magnesium Balloons, and all the
startling effects of recent displays.
At four o'clock, Randegger's comic operetta, " The Rival
Beauties." Characters by Mr. W. H. Cummings, Mr. Maybrick,
Mr. Marier, Miss Elene Angele, Miss Edith Wynne. Full orches-
tral band. The operetta conducted by the composer.
A Billiard Match (1.000 up) will be played by Messrs. Cook and.
Roberts after the Operetta. The table will be placed immedi-
ately in front of the Handel Orchestra.

Admission as usual, one shilling, or by guinea season tickets.

THE NEWARK ACCIDENT.

In anticipation of heavy damages. for death and
injury resulting from the Newark accident, the Stock
Exchange already views unfavourably the shares of
the Great Northern and Sheffield companies, who
are interested. The Solicitors' Journal thinks this
depreciation very premature. Precedents shew that
it will be very difficult to bring home liability to
either of the injured companies. The case of
" Redhead v. the Midland Railway Company "
finally settled that companies were liable only for
negligence, and not as insurers. None 9f the guards,
drivers, or signalmen displayed any negligence
in this case. The waggons of the goods
train were all examined shortly before the
accident, and it does not follow that the
inspection was insufficient, for defects in iron are
frequently incapable of detection. As regards the
Sheffield. Company, if they knowingly sent on to the
Great Northern line a defective waggon, it is possible
that they might be held responsible, but it is un-
likely that any knowledge of the defect can be
brought home to them.

THE EDUCATION DIVISION,

The test division on the Education Bill has been
taken, and the strength of the Secularists has been
tested. Mr. Henry Richard brought forward an
amendment to the motion that tho Speaker do leave
the chair to the effect that the grants to existing
denominational schools should not be increased, and
that, in any national system of elementary educa-
tion, the- attendance should be everywhere compul-
sory, and the religious instruction supplied
by voluntary effort not out of public
funds. Upon this amendment, the House of
Commons has been debating the whole of the week,
and it has now been thrown out by 421 to 60. The
list requires very little description. The sixty were
composed of the below gangway Liberals—Mr.
Fawcett, Sir C. W. Dilke, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Morrison,
Mr. Winterbotham, and hoc genus onzne. No Con-
servative joined this knot of sixty. On
the other side was a formidable array
of Ministerialists and Conservatives combined,
many of the Opposition leaders going into the same
lobby with the Government. This division may be
considered to dispose of the great objection of prin-
ciple to the bill. The details which remain to be
disputed are not likely to unite any formidable ele-
ments of hostility.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAT.

PARK AND BOULTON.—A FOOLISH FREAK.—WiIIiaM
Hewitt, a young man, describing himself as a waiter, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Marlborough-street
Police Court, with being drunk and disorderly.—Sergeant
Mackenzie, 4 C, said that at four o'clock yesterday (Sun•
day) afternoon he saw the prisoner, who was drunk,
in Piccadilly, extending his, arms before some ladies and
gentlemen, saying that ho was Park, then that he was
Boulton, and to others that he was " Miss Park," and
several ladies and gentlemen complained of his annoying
them. He then took the prisoner into custody, and at the
station he said he had been having a lark. The prisoner
said that all he had done was to ask the persons whether
they had seen Park and Boulton. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the
prisoner 100.; or seven days.
VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A BELEIVING OFFICER.—John
Robertson was charged at the Thames Police Court with
assaulting Mr. Edward Neagle, one of the Relieving
Officers of the Stepney Union. The complainant said he
was proceeding along Salmon's-lane, Limehouse, carrying
a parcel of books in his left hand, when he was met by the
prisoner, who stopped in front of him, and with his right
fist struck him on the side of the face. He seized hold of
him and struggled with the prisoner, collared him and
took him to the workhouse. While waiting for a
police constable the prisoner struck him on the side of the
face again. He then took the prisoner inside the work-
house, and kept him there till a constable arrived, when
he was given into custody. The prisoner, in a whining,
exaggerated strain, said Mr. Neaglo was a villain, and
the greatest liar that ever lived. On being admonished
for using such coarse language, the prisoner said he went
to the Ratcliff Workouse for relief. Mr. Neagle refused to
give him any, and said "Turn that fellow out of thehouse."
Mr. Neaglo said he had been frequently threatened by
the prisoner, but for what he did not know. His wife
was receiving out door relief, and the prisoner was sup-
' ported by the money. He never did any work. He was
sent to prison for 14 days.

NEGLIGENCE AT SEA.

The case of the Carnatic is a remarkable example
of the doctrine that negligence only makes carrying
owners liable for damages to their passengers.
Hitherto attempts to procure damages in case of
shipwreck have been very unsuccessful, owing to the
difficulty of proving negligence against the owners
or their servants. But in the case of the Carnafic
the jury thought there was no doubt about the mat-
ter. This steamer struck on a coral reef in the Red
Sea several months ago. The accident happened in
the night and the vessel remained on the reef until
the afternoon of the following day, when she sank, and
some of the persons on board were drowned. The cap-
tain did not attempt to save them before the final catas-
trophe, as he was in hopes of getting off the ship.
The jury thought that risking the lives of passengers
for the bare chance of saving the vessel was negli-
gence, and awarded £3,000 damages in the case just
decided. This verdict must be regarded as an im-
portant precedent.

THE LAND BILL.

On the whole, the Telegraph is rather inclined to regret
that the Opposition did not boldly oppose the second read-
ing of the bill, instead of mutilating and destroying it
piecemeal in committee. As it now stands, it is a worse
measure than that proposed by Lord Derby's Government
some years ago. When the bill is returned to the House
of Commons, therefore, the Government will restore it to
its original shape in respect of those amendments which are
incompatible with its purpose and principle—reinstituting
the scale of damages under Clause 3, again enacting the
length of lease which shall entitle a landlord to con-
Tract himself out of the penalties inflicted on eviction,
declining to accept the irresponsible Consent of the land-
lord as a condition barring the claim of the assignee, and
abolishing Lord Salisbury's amendment to narrow the
limit of the retrospective penalties. These amendments
will all be struck out of the bill by the House of Commons,
and what will the Lords have gained by introducing them?
Is it wise to force the great body of the people to the con-
clusion that it is in vain to expect generosity or pa-
triotism, or even pru.lent statesmanship from the House
of Lords in any question that bears ou the 14terests and
privileges of landed proprietors?

RUPTURES-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
kPerfectecl and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions of
1851 and 182), is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred Medical
men to be the most effective invention in the curative treatment
of HERNIA. The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its
effects, is here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the
body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Moe-
Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and cicse
ness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep.
A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
not fail to fit, f3rwarded by post, on the circumference of the
body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the manu-
facturer,

FATAL CRICKET.

The other day Summers, of the Notts County
Eleven, a most respected professional, was struck
by a ball on Lord's Ground and killed.
This melancholy event is the first instance of
a fatal accident ever known in a first class or even
a second class match. It appears from the great
authority on the .subject—Lillywhite—that only

three aahentic cases of death from cricket are on
record. In 1856 a boy named Simpson, nine years
of age, was billed at Cambridge ; in 1859 a fatal
accident occurred at Gorton to a youth of nineteen;
and in 1860 another youth of the same
age was killed in Demerara. An athletic sport which
has been parried on with enthusiasm by Englishmen

throughout the century, and which has produced
only four fatal casualties in so many years, cannot
be esteemed very hazardous, however much we may
deplore this particular misfortune. No active sport
is absolutely secure from danger. Nevertheless the
death of Summers does point a moral, and it is di-
rected against Lord's Ground. That wretched piece
of turf is advantageous from its excellent situation,
but it possesses no other merit whatever. It is hilly,
lumpy, and unsound. It is true that nobody has
ever been killed on it before, but no match passes
off without some player being bruised.

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.

Rhode Island may be a very pretty place to live

in, but for poor mortals who are apt to relieve the
tedium of a dull sermon by enjoying a few winks in
church it is a decidedly objectionable island. A
man in Rhode Island has been sent to gaol for to

days for sleeping in church. The report fails,
however, to state whether the wicked
criminal snored or not, but from the
exceptional severity of the sentence, it is evident that
the wicked criminal was not content with silently
protesting against the too lengthy sermon, but ac-
tually made audible confession of his opinion. It is

fortunate that Rhode Island law is not a part of the
constitution of England, else it is to be feared that
the number of prisoners would be so large that the
preacher would be under the necessity of delivering
his sermon to empty pews.

FLOATING HOTELS

Mr. Fisk's steamer, which is to carry passengers to
Long Branch, is also to furnish them with meals and
lodgings. It is to be, that is to say, a floating hotel.
Floating churches have existed for many years and on the
Mississippi and elsewhere we have heard of floating
theatres; but a vessel which offers to supply food and
apartments, not to passengers only, but to all corners,
is something new under the pun. " The ex-
periment once tried, it may occur to the pro-
prietors of the Great Eastern to 'turn her to
similar account. At present she seems of little use to
anybody, except when a cable is to be laid. Securely
moored off Long Branch, with suitable bridges and shift-
ing platforms to make her easily accessible in all weathers
and tides, the monster ship would make a hotel that
would rival, if not surpass, any of its neighbours on terra
firma. Balls, concerts, and other entertainments could
be given with admirable effect on board ; the airiness of
the dormitories could be hardly attainable under
other circumstances, and the mosquitoes—which theore-
tically never appear at Long Branch, but in practice
are sometimes less obliging—would probably decline
to cross salt water when they could banquet
so richly on shore. The scene might be occa-
sionally varied by getting under way in the
night, so that passengers on waking would find
themselves, let us say, off Cape Hatteras, or in some
other exciting locality, famous for fighting or ship-
wreck. Such an enterprise as this would excite all
adventuroUs spirits, and some one of our celebrated Com-
modores, who is also a capitalist, could hardly do better
than to take the Great Eastern off the hands to which she
seems as troublesome as a white elephant, and put her to
the use we suvest, at Newport, Coney Island, or Long
Branch.—New York Times.

DEATH OE THE EARL OF
CLARENDON.

We r,lret to state that the Earl of Clarendon
died this morning at 20 minutes past six o'clock.
The noble earl was upwards of seventy years
of age, having been born on the 26th of
January, 1800. It is thought that his
successor at the Foreign Office will probably be
Sir Henry Bulwer, one of the first of our diplo-
matists.

TEE FATAL MARCH.

The Daily News says it is clear that the soldiers of the
oth and 94th Regiments were treated with a cruel indiffer-
ence, born of stupidity and routine, to their comfort and
lives which no man would shew in the case of an animal
that he cared for, or whose pecuniary value he wished not
to depreciate. Benevolent people are doing what they
can to Fat a stop to the barbarities which often mark the
transit of cattle by steamship and railway. The sufferings
which accompany the transit of soldiers are surely worth
ns rnileh consideration.

LEGAL UTILITIES.

Some odd thirigs turn up now and then in the
evidence given before the Judicature Commission.
One officer of a local London court admitted that his
jurisdiction was obsolete and that his establishment
did no business; but defended its existence, on the
ground that the expenses, amounting to several
hundreds per annum, being paid out of
corporate funds, were not paid by the pub-
lic, who had, therefore, no right to complain.
This logical gentleman added that, as the court did
no business, it could do no harm, and therefore ought
not to be meddled with. Here is a fine plea for the
existence of useless persons as well as useless things.
They can do no harm. How speedily the common
law courts, and especially those rascally county
courts, which sometimes " bustle through" several
hundred cases in a day, ought to be cleared off on
this principle ! Another gentleman told the
commission that his court had only had four cases to
try within the year. It was highly popular, and the
county court was regarded as an intruder. The
people liked this court because it was their own—
though it is wonderful that they did not come into
it a little oftener.
