ROLLS COURT.
PLUMSTEAD HEATH.

His Honour delivered judgment to-day in the case
of NVarrick v. the Provost and scholars of Queen's
College, Oxford. The suit was instituted by four
gentlemen on behalf of themselves and the other
freehold tenants of the manor of Plumstea 1 for
the purl:, °se of maintaining their rights of common-
age, which were disputed by the defendants as lords of
the manor. The defendants founded their rcsitauce to
the rights claimed on the ground that the plaintiffs
could not prove their title from the original charter,
and it was contended also that freeholders must sell
individually. His Honour considered that the bur-
den of proof lay with the defendants, and not the
plaintiffs, who were not bound to produce the origi-
nal charter. He decreed in favour of the plain-
tiffs, and the defendants must pay the costs.

POLICE INTELLIC ENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Francis Jones was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
as follows :—Mr. Edward Morris, of 49, Princes-
street, Leicester-square, said that on Saturday night
he was walking along Tichborne-street with a friend,
when
,the prisoner, who bad formerly been in his
service, and treated with great kindness by him, but
had been discharged by him on account of his having
been several times in trouble, came up to him and
said that he had only just come out of prison, and
that if he did not give him some money be would
expose him as a swindler. A police-constable proved
hearing the prisoner abuse and threaten the com-
plainant. Barnes' the gaoler, said the prisoner had
been charged with all sorts of offences, and was as
bad a man as ever stood in the dock. Mr. Tyrwhitt
ordered the prisoner to find one bail of £5 to be of
good behaviour for two months.

23, 510ORGATE-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most
perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted
by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age
for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions,
can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of
forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above.

THE CASE OF MAJOR-GENERAL GORDON.

Naturally, the suspension of Major-General the
Hon. A. H. Gordon by the Bombay Government has
given rise to some anxious speculation in home
military circles. Tho accounts respecting the cause
of this procedure are very conflicting. The United
Service Gazette asserts that a tendency towards
arrogance of manner, whether with superiors, equals,
or subordinates, has had a good deal to do with
placing that officer in his present unpleasant

ORDER IN THE LAW.

The want of codification and consolidation has long
been a great reproach to the English law. But we
are at length beginning to do a little work in that
much neglected department. There are not fewer than
three bills now before Parliament on the principle
of codification. The earliest in point of date is
the Merchant Shipping Code prepared under the
auspices of the Board of Trade ; next there is
the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill brought in
by Lord Penzance ; and lastly, the Metropolitan
Buildings and Management Act, of which Sir VV.
Tite is godfather. These bills do not propose to alter
the existing law on the subjects with which they
respectively deal in its material features, but to con-
solidate and arrange in better order the existing
enactments, which being thus superseded can be swept
out of the statute. book by repeal. Lord Penzance's
bill supersedes the eight Acts of Parliament,
all passed since 1850, to which we have now to
look for the law relating to divorce and matrimonial
causes. Sir William Tite's bill proposes to repeal the
whole of five Acts and parts of two more, while the
Merchant Shipping Code will supersede about a dozen
statutes. These three, at all events, make a begin-
ning towards bringing our legislation into order. In
point of confusion, and multiplicity of statutes; Eng-
lish law is the worst in the world.

PUBLIC OPINION IN CANADA.

The Spectator publishes some extracts from a letter
which Mr. Tennyson has received from a literary Cana-
wan, giving a very uniavouramo impression of the
colonial sentiments towards the mother country. The
speeches of some English statesmen and the favour
shown by the English press to the idea of an eventual
separation of the North American pro-
vinces from the Empire "wring the hearts
of Canadians." At present the prevailing feeling
is regret, accompanied by a refusal to believe
that England can willingly break up her immense
empire; but that feeling is merging into sterner and
more resentful ones. England cannot make aliens
of her colonies and yet preserve their respect and
affection ; and the result of their abandonment by the
mother country would bo their immediate annexation to
the United States, and the transfer of the maritime
supremacy of the world from England to America.
It is for England, says the Canadian, to
count the cost of this, and there is yet
ime to do so, though the public mind in
the colony is deeply stirred, and a few false moves
might prove the spark in the powder magazine.
lie writes to Mr. Tennyson asbeiTra true Englishman
to give utterance to the anxious thoughts forced into
the minds of the quietest colonists by the rash decla-
rations of English statesmen.
TRADE AND THE RITUAL COMMISSION.

Many arguments have been adduced to prove that
the slow pace of the Ritual Commissioners ought to
be amended. One of these is the injury done to
trade. In the expectation that alterations will
shortly be made in the Church Services, booksellers
are unwilling to lay in large stocks of an edition
which may s_mrtly become obsolete. The " trade,"
therefore, is terribly discontented. The printers,
book-binders, and book-vendors are with one accord
crying out against this "injustice." One binder says
that before the alteration in the service was spoken
of, his firm employed 24 men and an equal number of
women. Now the staff is reduced to less than one-
fourth that numbe'. This ought to be a settler for
the Ritual Commission. Trade must be attended to.

mcteect that some time smee-preventea Nir Neymour
Fitzgerald from proposing Major-General Gordon as
an ordinary member of Council, an appointment to
which the latter, as temporary Comm ander-in-Chief,
was by usage entitled. The General, however, is a
gallant officer—he rendered much service on the
staff during the Crimean war—and it is to be hoped
that things will soon be set right.

M. ERNEST PICARD.

M. Ernest Picard has written the following letter to
M. Jules Grevy :
My dear Colleague,—The disunion which prevails in
the reunion of the Left may give rise to the same =is-
understandings, and I think it advisable to give some ex-
planations on the subject. We are all •agreed to refuse
the Plebiscite, and we are all ready to express this opinion
in common, which is the most essential thing. But
several of our colleagues di:approved a principle of ad-
mitting strangers among us when we wished
to speak in our character of deputies. I thick
with them that we ought to be by ourselves,
and share with no one the task, and the responsibility.
Still less could we assume responsibilities of another
nature, and make ourselves responsible for doctrines and
writings with which we had no concern. You understand
that when you consult with the delegates of the press,
you cease to represent the re-union of the Left. This
distinction explains the resolution you have taken;. it
simplifies the question, but it suppresses the collective
manifesto of the Left, which would have had a great effect
and is reducing a part of its members to silence. It has
given rise to the impression that a schist
prevails. It is true that half of the Left
will abstain from signing, because they think
that the association of many of our colleagues with certain
representatives of the democratic press, is likely to hp:
part an exclusive character to the affair ; as for myself
am faithful to my impressions, and do not support these
views, which if carried out would interfere with the
united action of the Opposition. I am ready to join hi
any declaration that may be made collectively by WY
colleagues, and I take neither the initiative nor the res.
ponsibility of a separation to which I am always opposed.
In sight of a partial disagreement I exercise my right 0,
reserving to myself a free acti in,and I fulfil the duty which
devolves upon all public men, of knowing how to rest
the solicitations of friends in questions of principle.

MIL LOWE AND THE GUN LICENSE.

Mr. Lowe in fulfilment of his obligation to " make
everybody a little uneasy," has seriously troubled the
minds of game preservers with his gun
license. Land and Water endeavours to
allay their anxiety. It sees no ground
for the fears generally expressed that trespass
offences will increase under the new system, and
the preservation of game be rendered well-
nigh impossible. Land and Water thinks the
new principle tends in the direction. of making game
property, and the gun license, aided by the existing
law of trespass, will go far to abolish the occupation
of the poacher. If hares and partridges get on
public roads, they will run the risk of being stolen
as dogs do. No law can prevent stealing,
but men who
"preserve " will find means to
protect their property. Preservation will henceforth
be a matter to be decided between landlord and
tenant, the poacher having less chance of the popular
sympathy. Our contemporary hopes to see the dis-
tinction between game and other property abolished,
Eo that
killing strayed pheasants and partridges will
be regarde in the same right as killing strayed geese
or pigs.
THE SERVICES.

There is very little of Army and Navy matters to
record this week. The service papers are very dull;
indeed, so complete is their Easter siesta that they
do not think it worth while to say anything about
the Volunteer Review. Nor have they much news
of any kind. The Army and Any Gazette
tells us that His Royal Highness Prince Arthur will
come
home from Canada, per transport, with the Ist
battalion Rifle Brigade, and will most probably be
subsequently appointed to do duty with a cavalry
regiment. "That his Royal Highness is receiving a
sound and practical military education none can deny,
and from the interest which we are told he takes in
his duties there can be little doubt that he will make
a good soldier." This journal believes that the new
Army Medical Department Warrant will not touch
upon the sore question of promotion and retirement.
The United Service Gazette contents itself with a
negative item of intelligence. It presumes that
"nothing has yet been decided upon by their Lord-
ships," with regard to the Naval Commutation
Scheme.

THE LATE MR. G. H. MOORE.

DUBLIN, Sunday.

A monster meeting was held at Harold's-cross to-
day, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with
the family of the late Mr. G. H. Moore. It is calcu-
lated that 20,000 persons were present, wearing
funeral favours. There was a procession of trades,
with bands and banners, draped with crape. Bodies
of police were stationed along the route. No cheer-
ing was allowed, but a vote of condolence with the
family passed. The proceedings, whieh were cha,
racterised by the greatest propriety and solemnity,
then terminated.

THE COERCION BILL IN PRACTICE.

The Government, according to some of the Irish
papers,_ has not yet fulfillyd its, obligations to Ireland
passed the Bill, but has not—putPitTn
force. The Dublin Express complains bitterly that
the county of Meath, where disorder and
outrage have been most common, has not
yet been proclaimed. Commenting on the threats
made to three farmers op their way to Navan fair
last Monday, it says :—" We have in this an illustra-
tion of the way in which life and property are pro-
tected in Ireland. Here is an audacious outrage
committed within a fortnight after the passing
of the Coercion Act, which it was expected
would put down agrarianism with a high hand.
But what do we learn as to the action of the
Executive ? Up to this hour the county of Meath
has not been put under the provisions of the pre-
existing law. It has never been proclaimed, although
there are few districts in the country which have not
had that dist!nction." It is certainly odd that this
county, which has come most prominently before the
public as a terror-s Iriclien district, should be thus
neglected.

EAST SUFFOLK AND MAYO.

Various Conservative candidates are spoken of
for the seat left vacant by the elevation of the Hon.
Major-Henniker. The names of Sir E. Kerrison,
Mr. C. H. Berners, and Mr. Herman Biddell, a tenant
farmer, are mentioned. One j ournal gives Mr.
Berners as the most probable selecti on. It appears
to be pretty certain that Sir Shafto Adair
will once more court the affections of this
constituency. He is a persevering swain on whom
the loss of love's labour counts for little. He fought
East Suffolk in 1843, 1859, 1867, and 1868, besides
engaging in other contests. In 1868 he made a close
battle of it, polling 3,321 against 3,620 given to
Mr. Corrance, who was thirty below the Hon. Major-
Henniker; so that there is ample justification for
another attempt. There is little news of Mayo.
The Daily News understands that Mr. Valentine
O'Oonor Blake, the son of a gentleman who retired
in favour of Mr. G. H. Moore, at the election of
1868, will, in all probability, offer himself as a
candidate.

Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN.
Vice-Patron—
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEITCH,
This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the
principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and
difficulty of Governors' orders is wholly dependent for support on
voluntary contributions and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition
to this, the average number of attendance'of the destitute sick has
for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent,
as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several
hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to
maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown,
Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ;
Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; Herries and Co.; Ransom
and Co.; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Bar-
clay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co. ; Nisbet and Co., Berners-

THIRD READINGS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
—Caledonian Railway (Additional Powers) Bill ; Reading
Local Board of Health Bill.

SECOND READINGS.

The following bills were read a second time :—Burnham
Tidal Harbour Bill ; Caledonian and Glasgow and South
Western Railway Companies ; Edinburgh Royal Infirmary;
Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway ; Imperial
Continental Gas Association ; Milford Haven Dock and
Railway ; Newry and Greenore Railwry ; Owens College
Extension.

Mr. GREVILLE NUGENT presented a petition from
Bridgwater, praying that the bill for the disfranchisement
of Bridgwater may not pass into a law.

EPPING FOREST.

Mr. BERESFOED HOPE asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether he could inform the House of the measures
which he proposed to adopt to secure the continued en-
joyment of Epping Forest to the public.
Mr. GLADSTONE said the pledge given by Government
on the subject had not been neglected, and measures were
in progress which he hoped would result satisfactorily,
but they had not yet advanced sufficiently to enable him
to give the hon. member a definite answer.
THE FRENCH TREATY.

Mr. VANCE asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade
if our Ambassador at Paris had suggested that two
English merchants or manufacturers should be examined
before the French Commission of Inquiry respecting the
Commercial Treaty now in force between England and
France, and, if so, upon what principle those witnesses
were to be selected.

Mr. OTWAY : A suggestion had been made, as the hon.
member stated, and a communication had taken place on
the subject between the Board of Trade and the Manches-
ter Chamber of Commerce. The subject under considera-
tion related to cotton manufacture, and there was nothing
special required of the persons selected beyond being fully
acpiainted with the subject he had mentioned-

London, England, 1870-04-25

THE BHISTOL PETITION.

The petition against the return of Mr. Elisha
Robinson, in the stead of the late Mr. Berkeley, has
been deposited. This, however, is not
the only needful preliminary. £l,OOO secu-
rity for costs must be deposited, and this point
had offered considerable difficulty. The requisite
amount was not readily forthcoming. But the
Standard speaks confidently of the progress of the
petition, and has reason to hope for its success. Mr.
Hare, however, will not claim the seat? since this
would necessitate a lengthy and costly inquiry into
the validity of some thousand votes.

FAMILIES OF LEGISLATORS.

The preponderance of wealthy families in the
House of Commons seems as great as ever it was.
The Lower House swarms with members of the same
house—brothers,.fathers, and sons. Mr. Gladstone
has a son a legislator, Mr. Bright has a brother, and
Mr. Hardy has relations. The Duke of Abercorn's
family contributes a small legislature in itself. There are
nine families which contribute each three members,viz.,
Beaumont, Cavendish, Fitzwilliam, Grosvenor, Hardy,
Lennox, Lowther, Rothschild, and Vivian. In
seven families father and son are represented, and
there are twenty-one pairs of brothers. In fact
there are in the House of Commons no fewer
than 101 members who are closely connected in
blood with each other. The reason is obvious
enough. Pocket boroughs are fewer ; but the
influence of powerful tamilies in certain districts
was never greater.
