TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

SI11,—" A very hard case." Two of my neighbours,
Morley v. Andrews quarrel and proceed to law. lam
subpceaaed by the plaintiff, for what reason I do not
know. I attend at Guildhall seven or eight days. The
matter is referred to arbitration and settled. I rend in
my bill to pltintiff's attorney for 10/. ; he tenders me
1/. 19s. I, paying a rental of 2001. a-year, and about
70/. taxes, consider the tender not sufficient for leaving
my business for those days, so refuse it ; finding after-
wards I could get no more, I agree to take it. Plaintiff's
solictor then refuse?, and I summon him for the amount,
1/. 19s. Now comes the hardship of the matter. lam
charged for entering plaint, ss. 10d. ; hearing, 14s. ; am
told by his Honour I have no right to summors him or
any one else, and am mulcted in 15s. defendant's ex-
penses, the first two charges, I am told, being decidedly
wrong. So, for a matter I have nothing to do with, I
am taken for eight days out of my business, and am
1/. 14s. 103. out of pocket. Surely there is some remedy.
Can you inform me how to act? I beg to forward you
particulars of the plaint, and am, Sir, yours, &0.,

The Nora British. Mail reports that the annual
match of the Glasgow and Mid-Lothian Rifle Clubs was
shot on Saturday hat, near Falkirk, by eight members
from each of the respective clubs. The number of shots
was 20 each, 10 at 100 and 10 at 200 yards, fair off
shoulder. Atter a keen contest, in which the chances
of success frequently varied, the Glasgoyv Club were ul•
timately successful. The strong sunshine that prevailed
during the match prevented the shooting being so close
as would otherwise have been the case.
MDLLB. RaeaßL DllMB.—leldllo. Rachel (says the
Pays) has installed herself in the houie which has been
prepared for her near Cannes, in which she is to pass the
winter. A celebrated physician whom she has oon-
■nited at Paris before her departure has prescribed a
regimen for her, which he declares will infallibly restore
her to health. One of the rules laid down by him is that
she is not to speak during the whole time of her treat-
ment, and the patient is stated to have accepted this
condition, writing her questions and answers on a slate.
In a letter which Ilene. Rachel has written to one of
her friends, she declares her intention of conforming to
the prescription, and of not uttering a word until the
month of May next.— Galignani.

APPLICATION OF CHLOIIOFOIOI TO BEES.—The John
O'Groat Journal says :—Last week a successful applica-
tion of this powerful agency was made by Dr. Sinclair
to a hive of bees which were about to swarm at the gar-
den of B.rrogill Castle. Mey. The process was very
simple and effective. It was a complished by merely
placing a handkerchief, sprinkled with chloroform, on
the hive, when in a short time the whole swarm dropt
into the new scapo, leaving behind theca no less than
501 b. of honey. We believe the process is not nevi, as it
bad been tried in the southern part of this county befL re,
but in that case the dose was too strong, and most of the
bees were destroyed.
