SHIPPING DISASTERS ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—
A strong east wind blew for several days last week on the
Norfolk- eoast, and several serious casualties occurred
among the shipping. The Grenett, a Hanoverian vessel,
was lost off, Yarmouth with all hands. The Hero, a
schooner, from Rye for Newcastle, parted from both
anchors in Lowestoft south roads, and was °blitzed
to run upon the main opposite the Royal Hotel. The
Henry, a brig, frim Montrose for London, also drifted
on the main near Pakefiald Lighthouse, and other minor
disasters ere reported.
DEAD Law.—How freely, even in spite of yearly mas-
sacres, the crop of legislation springs another figure or
two will suggest. On the subject of qualification
and election of a member of Parliament there exist
185 acts. On the subject of poor-law there are in the
statute-book 'l2O acts. Upon the matter (,f stamps there
are 130 acts. Upon the subject of Excise, 120. One act
ought to suffice for each of these matters ; yet the statutes
still include 4,000 or 5,000 pages of dead revenue law.
Even the law concerning sheriffs and their offic rs is pub-
lished in no less than 55 acts of Parliament. The conse-
quence of all this is, that judge and counsel, when they
exercise their wits on any case, must either pbt faith in
a fallible digest or manual made by a private lawyer—if
by chance that contains the information wanted —or they
must go through the whole of the statutes from Magna
Charta to the present day ; and, with the help of an im-
perfect index, find the bit of statute they require, as well
as make sure that it has not been affected or modified by
any other bit of statute bearing later date. Tnen, of
course, there ara also contradictions in abundance.
Public and general provisions of all sorts, often conflict-
ing in their • principles, are slipped into local acts.—
