THE HORDAIINT CASE.

The Daily News says that Lord Penzance having decided
that Lady Mordaunt, being insane, cannot be put on her
trial for adultery, Sir Charles Mordaunt appealed against
the decision. The full Court before which the points at
issue were argued at length consisted of the Lord Chief
Baron, Mr. Justice Keating, and Lord Penzance.
After taking some timeto consider the arguments, the full
Court has confirmed Lord Penzance's decision. But, as
the Lord Chief Baron dissented, the value of this ex-
pression of judicial opinion is much less than it would
have been had the court been unanimous. As the point
raised is a novel one, a precedent must in any event
be created. As it is, however, nothing has been proved
on the one part or disproved on the other. All that has
been presented to the public is a ghastly story, which it
is difficult to forget, and which, whether it be true or
false, cannot be regarded without repulsion. Sir Charles
Mordaunt can, indeed still appeal to the House of
Lords on the legal points raised, or he may endeavour a
obtoin legislative sanction to his divorce. While desiring
that he should suffer no wrong owing either to the law's
delay or any accidental cause, it is nevertheless a subject
of thankfulness that the complete public exposure of the
facts connected with the case, in which his wife plays so
strange a part, is indefinitely postponed.

Opinions of the Council of the Royal Agricultural
Society of England on Thorley's Cond mont, at a meet-
ing held in Elanover Square Rooms, London—Colonel
Challouer in the chair. "By its use the Sheep improved in
the most extraordinary degree so much so, that after they
had taken it three or four weeks, I really hardly knew
them again."— T. BEALE BROWNE "1 any satisfied that
apart from every other cause, the recovery of my Sheep and
Lambs was due to the moot this Condiment. Other Condiments
had not the effect Thorley's had. I have tried the food of other
makevs, and it failed completely."— MAJOR Nu NN. "On my
horse the effect was marvellous; with cows, pigs, and dogs the
same rmult."- ll.Corrox. I can unhesitatingly say hat Lord
Canto's has been satisfied with it, both .in respect to young
animals and those arriving at maturitY." Mr BARKER. "

prised."— Mr CANTRELL.
