DIPLOMATIC PENSIONS.

Mr. M. MILNES obtained leave to bring in a bill to

diplomatic pensions to sit in Parliament.
THE THAMES.

Sir M. PETO moved for leave to bring in a bill to pro-
vide for the prevention of noisome effluvia from the River
Thames within the metrepolis. He said he did not mean
to impeach any blame to the metropolitan board, nor in any
way to shackle them in the discharge of their duties, and
he also proposed to give them additional powers if neces-
sary.

Mr. ME said that the board had expended a sum of
£5,000 in carrying out the object in question, and the works
were going on successful. The board had employed two
eminent chemists to devise the best means of
deodorising the sewage to purify the Thames for
the future, and Dr. Miller was also engaged in
discovering some agent for the same purpose, to be brought
into immediate operation. He thought any legislative in-
terference at present would-be prejudicial, and the Metro-
politan Board were doing all in their power to remedy tho
present state of the river and the sewage.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before the Lords Justices.)

THOMPSON V. WHITELOCK-TWO APPEALS FOR JUDGMENT.

This is an administration suit under the holograph will
of the late Mr. Myles Whitelock, merchant, St. Paul's-
churchyard, City. The testator gave to each of his three
brothers and six sisters £5OO, or their legal representatives,
to be paid two years after his death ; two nephews £5OO,
and two other nephews £3OO each; amounting together to
£6,400. He then gave to his father and mother an
annuity of £lOO. He then gave the residue to his wife,
Sarah) except £4,100 which she was only to have the use
of during her life.
Tice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart by his decree declared
that, according to the true construction of the will, the
widow was entitled to the whole residue of the testator's
estate, except the legacies mentioned in the will, amounting
to £l,lOO only. Double legacies were claimed, amounting
to £0,500, but not allowed. Legatees dying in the life-
time of the testator, or before her death, their legacies
lapsed and fell into the residue.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
considered that it was not necessary to adopt any forced
construction to this will, or to substitute any other words
for those which the testator had used, and say that £4,100
was £6,500; that it was better to adhere to the words of
the will, and, on the authority of the case Melish against
Melish, there lordships were satisfied that the conclusion
the Vice-Chancellor had come to was right.
Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and dismissed the appeal without costs.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

EHRENBERGER V. LYONS-FEAST DAYS WITH THE JEWS.

This was an action to recover 30s. for one week's wages
in lieu of notice. Plaintiff is a journeyman in the employ-
ment of defendant, a master tailor.

Plaintiff said that he had been engaged by defendant
ten months ago, and ho agreed to work from Sunday to
Friday. Plaintiff was absent on one particular Sunday the
whole day, and upon his going on Monday morning defen-
dant summarily dismissed him.

Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, cross-examined plaintiff,
who said he absented himself on the Sunday to attend the
circumcision of his child.

Defendant—That is over by 10 o'clock in the morning,
and plaintiff was smoking and drinking.
His Honour—lt is well known that when a male ohild
is born in Israel there is great rejoicing ; it is a feast day
with the Jews, and if defendant knew of this circumcision,
unless there was a prohibition, I think it is such a custo-
mary holiday that defendant should not have dismissed
plaintiff.
Mr. Buchanan—My client knew nothing of it.
Defendant said that it was well known that a child had
been born, and ho had asked Mrs. Lyons if she would bo
godmother, and defendant godfather. Mrs. Lyons said she
would be very glad, but Mr. Lyons would not take the
trouble.
Mr. Buchanan—Defendant has a very large establish-
ment, and employs forty people, and if they absent them-
selves on Sunday he only gets four days work out of them.
Defendant said he did not give plaintiff permission to
absent him self, and he was discharged for doing so.

His Honour—ln law defendant is entitled to a verdict,
but I think it is scandalous to discharge
notice for absenting himself to perform a particular core-
money pertaining to his religion.

INGLES V. MADDOCK.

This was a summons on a promissory note payable to
Ingles, West, and another. The summons was taken out
in the name of Ingle. Before seeing the note his Honour
said that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, as the summons
should be taken out in the names of the parties on the note.
Mr. West said, that Ingle was present and defendant had
signed the note.

His Houour—That does not matter.
Mr. West—But defendant owes plaintiff the money.
His Honour—No, he does not. Ho owes it to Ingle,
Wert, and another, and he must be nonsuited.
Mr. West—Well, but what am I to do ? Will your
Honour advise me ?

His Honour-4 sit here to give judgment and not advice.
