THE SUN, LONDON,

- Temple.- At-,a'z, in resEcct to the grand
original suggestion of a Palace of Justice
on the vast open space now cleared to view,
for the most part, to the north of the Thames
Embankment, between Somerset House and the
Temple—the Strand Frontage along the whole of its
northern facade was, and indeed still is, loudly in-
sisted upon as one of its conspicuous advantages.
There cannot be two opinions, in fact, as
to this—that the third plan, Mr. LowE's
plan, the plan without any Strand fron-
tage at all, is a shirking of an expense and a
shirking of a difficulty. It is hiding away the New
Law Courts on one side, at least, in a back neigh-
bourhood. It is sacrificing beauty, convenience, air,
light, architectural effect, everything, to economical
considerations. Now, that, we take it, is hardly be-
fitting the dignity of the country, the majesty of the
laws, the power of England, the wealth of London.
Economy is all very wall, but--meanness ? And
meanness in a -matter of such importance as this of a
new resting place for the administration of the Trews
of England ? Whatever edifice shall be raised to
this end, will be, not for to-morrow, not for next year,
not for the residue of the nineteenth century, it
be for uncounted years, it will be for posterity. And,
knowing this, to go and hide the new building
away in a little back street running parallel
with the strand—a street so obscure that on mention-
ing it the Chancellor of the Exchequer had to explain
to an audience of Londoners, meaning, to the mem-
bers of the House of Commons, only the other even-
ing, that " there is a Street called Howard-street,"
and that there it is, in " a Street called Howard

Next to the astounding impudence o: the Mozr.Eys,
that which astonishes us most is the ;redulity of the
Liverpudlians. here were a geitleman worth
£132 17s. and an unsound horst, and another
gentleman, worth £7O in theatz and music-
hall shares, entrusted with two millions
of money. Nor does our surprise end here.
Having thus decei‘.'ed and plundered their fellow-
townsmen, we might have expted that these
persons would have been prosecuted with the utmost
rigour of the law. On the contrary, everything has
been made pleasant for them. Instead of winding

up the company in the Bankruptcy Court, where

unpleasant disclosures would have been made,

the bank has been wound u) in Chancery,

to the great advantage of the directors, and to

the great loss of the creditors and the share-

holders. The three inspectors point out that Messrs.

MOZLEY declared that the bank had earned a profit
