with hsaiag, on Friday, the 18th ult., gone to a draw-
well
at Hawkhill and pitched a small coffin, containing
tke body of a still-born child into it, in order to save the
burying-ground fees. A great sensation was manifested
in court during this trial,
the witness (a woman) who
foiled the coffin in the well next day having declared
that no one had taken water from it since. Rollo was

PALL OF A STALK AT ST. ROLLOX.-011 Friday
afternoon, a little past three o'clock, a stalk, 240 feet in
height, situated at the corner of the works at St. Rollox,
immediately adjoining the Glasgow and Garnkirk Rail-
IN', gave way at the foundation, and in au instant not
?fie brick was left above another. This stalk, we under-
stand, was only finished a few weeks ago, and about the
g;teat) time it was discovered that its base was not secure.
roans were accordingly taken to insure its stability, by
PPing and otherwise, and little fear was entertain
hased
blel that it would stand a while, when on Friday, as
den stated, it fell with a most tremendous crash. Its
scent was almost perpendicular, and it therefore occa-
6,_eened little additional damage, for although a portion of
rezbricks fell within the railway depot, and upon the
),:, no further accident was the result. Several men
taw Were working close by the stalk heard it cracking a
anieftruds before it fell, and, fortunately, having
ni 'ter Y left its vicinity, escaped. The wind was blow-

Agan, VISITATION! OF THE METROPOLIS.-- We
understand that never, since London was London, has
the re been such a flocking thither of gentlemen con-
nected with the law, as during the past and resent
wtoer e
enkY The reason of this extraordinary immigration
we believe to be shortly as follows :—Hitherto an at-
admitted to the Court of Queen's Bench, London,
Was supposcd to be at liberty to practise in all the courts
of Westminster Hall, five in number, and the ceremonies
attendant upon his admission could all be performed by
Vagent or deputy. According to the strict reading of a
ause in the Act of last session, ever e cam practise in the s y attorney, before
uperiorsign w nlB own hand the rolls of
each courtcour ts,
; atmust least sithere is
so much doubt about the matter, that many of our oldest
and most experienced practitioners, in order to be on the
psafe side, have been, or are going, to London for this
urpose from Liverpool, and the same may be said of
rne of every other place in England and
Wales.
It has been discovered that, in hundreds of in the names of deceased attorneys have been kept
en the rolls, for the purpose of enabling clerks and other
unqualified persons to practise in those names. The
ir',ies of metropolitan review alluded to was therefore
will ilted, and the result, we understand, has been, or
be, a very considerable weedin of the list—Liver-
