PUBLIC PROSECUTORS.

Mr. Eykyn is bringing forward a bill to provide
for the appointment of public prosecutors, and for.
the more effectual prosecution of indictable offences.
The Secretary of State will appoint attorneys
or solicitors of good standing to be public
prosecutors of defined districts. It will be
their duty to institute and conduct prosecutions
for indictable offences within their respective dis-
tricts. Information will be given to the public pro-
secutors in all cases where it appears to any court of
law, civil or criminal, that an offence has been com-
mitted for which the ofiender should be brought to
justice. In cases where a private individual has
commenced a prosecution the public officer will have
power to intervene, and take the conduct of it-out
of his hands.

'TIE TOYSEY PROSECUTIONS.

Voysey case must now, for weal or for woe,
-,cision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy
; and the momentous question it involves,
at which the Church of England.ceases its
ision, will thus be finally settled. The
in between Mr. Voysey and the Archbishop
as Mr. Voysey's letter to his solicitor
has failed entirely. It would seem
letter published in the Daily News
Ir. Leo, the . legal adviser of the
of Canterbury, that Mr. Voysey was
mply to resign his appointment, if nothing
-em clone or said in the matter; but the
Primate would not submit to that arrange-
insisted upon an engagement on the de-
.. s part that he would not arrain take urefer-
and that ho would pay all costs. Mr. Leo tells
this letter that " his Grace's object in requiring
orment of a substantial sum for costs was to
that the acceptance of the resignation was no
,mise by the Archbishop of the prosecution of
-sey, but that, on the contrary, it was
clearly to indicate an acknowledg-
on Mr. Voysey's part that he
be unable to succeed in his appeal."
Leo explains that the Archbishop has no
'live feeling; but "he does not understand how
proposal that
,the proceedings should be
to drop could be seriously made, after great-
and cost have been expended to procure a
t in the court below, which his Grace.confi-
believes will be affirmed in the Court of
." The case is (the most rev. Primate thinks;
'e that it ought tQ be decided by the Courts.
