PATJPER ELOPEMENT TO GRETNA GREEN. —A
few days ago, Felix Lough, late of London, widower, who
has a family of three children, and now an inmate of Penrith
Union workhouse, eloped to Gretna Green with Mary Jack-
son, widow, who has a family of four children, and also an
inmate of the same workhouse. A few days previous to the
elopement the parties gave notice to Mr. Slee, the master of
the workhouse, that they intended to leave the workhouse,
and accordingly did so. How they raised the wind is not
known, but the fact is that they set off on foot upwards of 30
miles to Gretna, and on arriving there found that they had
little or no cash to pay the officiating priest, who asked a sum
twenty times more in amount than what they were possessed
of, and persisted thatjhe would not marry them tor a far-
thing less. However, Felix Lough, in a most melancholy
strain, explained that his wife was dead, that Mary Jackson's
husband was also dead, that they were both paupers belong-
ing to Penrith Union workhouse, and becoming quite con-
vulsed, and letting flow a flood of tears over his wrinkled
cheeks, in the most affecting manner exclaimed—" For good-
ness sake do marry us, for Mary Jackson was the first sweet-
heart that I ever had, aye, long before I was married to my
first poor wife, but then she would not have me; now she has
-consented to be my wife. 01 do marry us." " Yes, yes, it
is all true, do wed us," said Mary Jackson. The priest was
moved with compassion; he married them. Soon afterwards
they set off on their return to Penrith on foot, and on their
arrival there they were fool sore and completely dished up,
and not having a place where to lay their heads, they e'en
applied to Mr. Armstrong, the relieving officer, for an order
into the workhouse again, who, according to the present.
state of the poor-law, was obliged to give them an order,
and now the new married couple, in accordance with the
same law, are spending their honeytnoon in the workhouse,
apart from each other.—Carlisle Patriot.
TERRA-COTTA TABLETS FOR TOMBSTONES.—In
turning over the leaves of a new work on pottery and porce-
lain, we are incidentally led into the reflection that the
ancients almost anticipated and stole from us au idea, ex-
clusively, as we had thought—namely, that terra-cotta—a
sort of pottery, in fact—would be an excellent, because a
cheap and durable, material for funereal monuments or tomb-
stones, for the poorer classes, if inscribed with the names and
genealogical correlations of the dead before exposure to the
pottery fire. And we must here further strengthen the argu.
meat against the virgin novelty of our own suggestion by a
brief allusion to a recent discovery of ancient customs, still
more to the point than any, it may be, to be gathered from
known records, even when the volume alluded to was written.
In the Ethnological sub-section of the British Association,
lately, Major Rawlinson stated that Mr. Layard had, at Kor-
jinyik, penetrated into a chamber which appeared to he of
the same class as the "house of records" noticed by the pro-
phet Ezra, where was found the copy of a decree of Cyrus,
permitting the Jews to return from captivity. In this
chamber Mr. Layard found, in terracotta, tables piled up
from the floor to the ceiling, and representing apparently the
archives of the Assyrian empire during the long historical
succession. Mr. Layard had packed, by the last accounts, five
cases' for transport to England; and these only occupied one
small corner of the apartment. Here, then, we find that terra-
cotta tablets inscribed with everlasting records, like Job's
writing with a pen of iron in the rock, so far from being a
novelty, are as old as any of the oldest records 'of human
ingenuity.—Builder.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM A MAD nULLOCK.—
Yesterday morning, while a bullock was being driven along
Cross-causeway, Edinburgh, to the cattle• market, it broke
away from the persons who were iu charge of it, tossed a
little girl up in the air, knocked a man over, who could not
get out of the way in time, and rushing up to an old woman
who was sitting at. her apple-stand, disposed of her and her
wares in precisely the same manner. The infuriate beast
then espied a drove of cattle, also proceeding to market, a
short way in advance, and immediately adding himself to the
ranks, was quietly driven to his destination. In regard to the
parties injured, we believe none of them were seriously hurt
except the old woman, who was immediately afterwards con-
veyed to a neighbouring druggist's, where her wounds were
properly dressed, and ale is 'now progregoing ftwourably.7

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING; AUG UST 81, 1850.

Early in the afternoon a guard of honour of the
93d Highlanders, consisting of one captain, two sub-
alterns, and SO men, with the Queen's colour and
band, was in attendance at Holyrood Palace. Fifty
men of the Royal Artillery, with arms, and two
officers, also took part in the procession.
A party of the Royal Archers, under the command
of the Earl of Morton, was stationed in front of the
palace, with the colours end the fine band of the
corps. Bailie Rogers, and the High Constables of
Holyrood, took up a position close by the main en-
trance of the palace. The High Constables of the
city, headed by Mr. Mackie, the Moderator, attired
in a full court dress, were also in attendance. The
magistrates of Canongate, in their robes of office,
and the constables of the same burgh, and of Easter
and Wester Portsburgh, under Baillies Stevenson
and Scott, were also on duty.
Upon the arrival of the royal coraige, her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, with the other members of
the Royal Family, alighted from the royal car-
riage. Mr. Rutherford, W.S., deputy-keeper of
Holyrood, in the absence of the Duke of Hamilton
from indisposition, was present to receive the
Queen. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, having
again recognised the Duke of Buccleuch, heartily
shook hands with his Grace as they entered the gate-
way. In the quadrangle and colonnade of the palace
were a select and distinguished party of the nobi-
lity and gentry, who greeted her Majesty and
Prince Albert with silent and respectful homage.
The Lord Prevost, Sir William Gibson Craig,
M. Mavison, French Consul, and the Hon. B. F.
PriMrose, were also present.
Her Majesty then retired to the state apartments,
and the royal standard now floating above the en-
trance gate announces to the citizens of E linburgh
that Holyrood is again tenanted by a Sovereign.

became dull and uncertain in the course of the fore-
noon, but, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of
the sky, the enthusiasm of the inhabitants would not
be damped, and they continued to flock in great
numbers to the Queen's Park. About two o'clock
the clouds passed oti; and the sun shone brightly out
from a blue sky.
Having thus described the scene which awaited
her Majesty's arrival in her ancient capital, we pro-
ceed to chronicle the stages of the Royal progress
northwards as they were transmitted to Edinburgh
from time to time by electric telegraph.
Her Majesty left Castle Howard about nine
o'clock, arrived at York—a distance of about twenty
miles—at twenty minutes from eleven, at Darlington
at thirty-five minutes past eleven, at Belmont at
twenty minutes past noon, and at Newcastle-on-
Tyne at one o'clock. Here the approach of the Royal
train was made known about fifteen minues before its
appearance, by a salute from the guns of the ancient
Norman Castle, so long " the bridle of the Scots," in
their forays into England. Scarcely had the
wreaths of smoke cleared off from the grim old
Keep, when the train was seen gliding slowly
along from Gateshead across the High Level Bridge,
towards the new Central Station. In waiting for the
arrival of the royal carriage was the Earl Grey,
who conducted her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the Prince cf Wales, to a room where refresh-
ments had been laid out for the royal party. Fully
fifteen minutes were spent here, when the royal
travellers again entered Ceeir carriages, and the train
proceeded northwards. The Central Station, the
High Level Bridge—in fact, every spot whence a
view of her Majesty could be obtained—were
crowded with spectators; and loud, long, and often
renewed, were the cheers which burst forth from the
multitudes as her Majesty alighted. The morning
was fine on the whole, though here, as at Edinburgh,
the sky was occasionally overclouded.
The royal carriage left Newcastle at twenty-five
minutes past one o'clock, and, passing Morpeth and
Warkworth, " proud of Percy's fatne," arrived at
Lesbury, near Alnwick, at half-past two o'clock.
Belford—distant from Newcastle fifty-one miles, and
from Berwick -on-the-Tweek iigeen miles—was
reached at three o'clock.
Her Majesty arrived at Berwick at 3.30, and re-
mained till 3.28. Addresses to her Majesty and
Prince Albert were presented by Captain smith, the
Zilayor, who was presented to her Majesty by Sir
George Grey.
Her Majesty then left the carriage and proceeded
along the platform to the quadrangle at the end,
accompanied by Prince Albert on the left, who was
uncovered, and by George Leman, Esq., chairman
of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway
Company. Four of the royal children followed,
behind whom were Earl Grey, Sir George Grey, the
Mayor and Sheriff of Berwick, the Countess Grey,
Lady Grey, and other ladies. Having arrived at
the quadrangle at the end of the platform, her Ma-
jesty was pleased to express her admiration of the
bridge :and surrounding scenery, and intimated her
desire that the viaduct should be called the " Royal
Border Bridge." It was spanned by an arch, over
which was incribed in large letters, " The last act o
the Union."

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
EDINBURGH, FRIDAY.
Her Majesty and the Prince Consort at an early
hour this morning ascended to the summit of Arthur's
Seat. The Prince at one o'clock ]aid the foundation-
stone of the proposed National Gallery, and the cere-
mony, which attracted an immense concourse of
spectators, was very imposing.
In the afternoon her Mej:sty visited the splendid
new hospital founded by the late Mr. Donaldson in
the suburbs of the city for the education of 300 desti-
tute children. She was most enthusiastically re-
ceived on her route.

The lady of the Mayor, the Sheriff and his lady,
Lieutenant• Colonel Wellesley, and lady and eldest
-son of Sir George Grey, were then presented to her
Majesty by the Home Secretary. The royal party
then returned to the train, where they resumed their
carriages. Sir George Grey accompanied her Ma-
jesty as Secretary of State. Earl Grey and the
Countess:remained behind, the Earl having to attend
a public dinner at Berwick this afternoon. Her
Majesty was loudly cheered.
The weather was fine until the departure of the
train, when a few drops of rain began to fall.
It was expected, from an official communication
received by Mr. Sheriff Gordon last night from Sir
George Grey, that her Majesty would reach Edin-
burgh at a quarter to four o'clock ; but the royal train
did not make its appearance till a few minutes past
five o'clock.

The Royal Archers, the Queen's Body Guard for
Scotland, had arrived at the royal landing-place
shortly before three o'clock, headed by his Grace the
Duke of Buccleucb, on horsebuck, in the uniform of
the honourable corps, and wearing the green ribband
of the Order of the Thistle., The guard of honour of
the 93d Highlanders was drawn up opposite the gate-
way with the band of the lath Light Dragoons on
their right. The cavalry escort was stationed on the
left, towards the entrance to the Queen's Park.

Various telegraphic messages were received in
the company's station at Meadowbank, respecting
the progress of the royal party to Edinburgh. The
royal train was telegraphed as having left Dunbar—
where the Duchess of Roxburghe and many others
were in waiting as her Majesty passed—at eighteen
minutes past four o'clock.
The directors of the North British Railway, ac-
companied by Mr. Sheriff Arkley, left Edinburgh to
receive her Majesty at Berwick this morning, at half-
past ten o'clock. They left Berwick, on their return
to this city, at twenty• five minutes past three o'clock,
preceding the royal train by five minutes.
The first intimation of the approach of her Majesty
was the arrival of the special train from Berwick with
the directors, which reached Meadowbank a few
minutes before five o'clock.

The royal train made its appearance at Meadow-
bank about five minutes past five o'clock, and was
greeted with loud acclamations by the assembled spec-
tators, ho were accommodated in the windows of
the buildings at Meadowbank and on the neighbour-
ing eminences.
The royal engine, which is one of the most powerful
in the company's service, was decorated in a superb
and tasteful style. It is the same that was used on
a similar occasion last year, and displayed in front a
semicircular arch of wood, bearing in gilded letters
the inscription-a-" God save the
Queen,' and having
a magnificent star suspended from its centre. This
arch, with another behind, was surmounted by a
large and splendid royal crown, resting on a-beauti-
ful cushion of crimson velvet. The motto, " Long
live the Royal Family," was displayed cn one side of
an elliptical arch, which extended longitudinally
alongthe engine, having also en the reverse side,
‘S Success to the British empire." This arch was
surmounted by a floral crown, basing a S. etch
thistle on each
.side, and the initial letters " V. A."
at the extrenuty. Two beautiful stars were sus-
pended from the centre of the arch, and by the
tassteful addition of shrubs and evergreens a pleasing
and superb effect was produced. The ;tender was
decorated with festoons of crimson velvet, with yel-
low tassels, displayed on framework, and interspersed
with flowers. The crown and decorations were the
workmanship of the men in the employment of the
company at St. Margaret's station, and reflected great
credit on their taste and skill. The pilot engine was
adorned with evergreens, and displayed in front a
floral crown.
There were waiting on the platform to receive her
Majesty the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord-Lieutenant of
the county of Edinburgh ; Major-General Sir James
Commanding ;the Forces in Scotland, and a
t Staff; also Sheriff Gordon, John Lear-
mouth,llbriidlldieain' Esq., of Dean, Chairman of the North British
Railway Company, and a number of the directors.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert occupied a splen-
did saloon carriage, in which were the Prince of
%Vales and. Prince Alfred. Her Majesty was at-
tired in a dress of deep mourning, as were also
Prince Albert and the Royal children. The
Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, travelled in a
separate carriage, under the charge of the Marchio-
ness of Douro, and the Hon. Miss Lennox. Her
Majesty on alighting from the royal carriage, was
received by Sir George Grey. The Duke of Buc-
cleuch was immediately recognised by the Queen,
who remarked to his Grace that it was a fine after-
noon.

Her Majesty having bowed her acknowledgments
to Mr. Learmouth, Chairman of the North British
Railway Company, ascended with Prince Albert the
flight of steps leading to the royal carriage, which
was lined by the Royal Archers. The dfferent mem-
ber s of the Royal Family followed. Her Majesty and
Prince Albert occupied one side of the royal carriage,
and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal sat
opposite.
,
The royal cortege moved off, headed by Mr. Sheriff
Gordon and J. A. Campbell, Esq., Sheriff-Clerk, in a
handsome barouch and pair, followed by a detach-
, and Lord
me
formed the ntof
thel3thLight Dragoons. The Royal
Archers body guard around the royal
carriage. The Duke of Buecleuch and Major-Ge-

walked Riddell rodeby immediatelythesida
of the
royal carriage.
The royal party were greeted with hearty applause
by the distinguished party on Mr. Mitchell Innes'
platform, among whom the venerable figure of the
Lord Justice-General was conspicous.

Her Majesty, on emerging into the park from the
Ab bey hill -road,
seemed impressed with the magni-
ficence of the scene before her. She was hailed
with an enthusiastic burst of acclamation from the
multitudes in the park. The Queen and Prince Al-
bert seemed to feel deeply this loyal expression of ho-
mage, 2nd testified their gratification by repeated ac-
kn3wledgments. The shouts of welcome were caught'
up by the more distant crowds, and echoed from
peak to peak of the surrounding hills. Every 5.112.
cessiye stage in the royal progress witne3sd the
same manifestations of enthusiastic feeling, till the
arrival of the Queen at the gates of Holyrood,
where she arrived at nineteen minutes past five o'clock
precisely. Her approach was announced by a royal
salute from the Castle.
Her Majesty and the Prince were observed
bt
with rtyh Crags, on the
fine itructures
that adorn 45 summit, on the others e
re-
peatedly to remark the more
i prominent features of
the scenery. The dark and irregular mass of the

A trial took place on Wednesday last, by order of
the Lords of the Admiralty, with Captain the Hon. W.
E. Fitzmaurice's gun carriage, on board her Majesty's
ship Excellent, at Portsmouth, in pregenco 01 Cap-

was subjected to with full service charges for the

giving way.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—On Wednesday evening, at 9 o'clock, the
possibility of communicating between France and Eng-
land by electric telegraph was practically established.
Early in the morning of that day the projectors of the
great enterprise sailed from Dover in the steam-ship
Goliab with a quantity of the electric line on board, and
steered for Cape Grisnez, on the opposite coast of
France. As they proceeded they saok- the line, taking
care to communicate with Dover at intervals by electric
agency, in order to test the value of their work as they
went. Each experiment was in turn successful. The
connexions were well secured, and at 9 o'clock in the
I evening intelligence was forwarded across the bottom of
the Chennel from Cape Grisiacz to Dover that the
task had been accomplished. Instantaneous communica-
tion between England and France by electric
agency may, even while we write, be actually
taking place: It requires a shorter time for the
altuel transit of a message from London to the
French coast than is necessary for tracing upon
paper the shortest word in the English language. Some
three thousand years ago Homer talked of " winged"
words; we doubt if even he imagined they would
ever cleave their way through space at such a rate as
this. The electric telegraph appears to us more like a
miracle than any scientific discovery or mechanical
achievement of cur time. Assume the steam-engine,
and railroads are a mere question of finance. Even so
magnificent an operation as the completion of the tubular
bridge across the Mcnai Straits does not affect the mind
with a sensation of wonder. What power was requisite
to raise a given weight? What material could best en-
dure the strain of the traffic? How could it be most
effectually laid down?—how best supported by the single
arch or from above. Such a work is in its way no doubt
astounding from the combination of forces brought to
beer in order to obtain a certain result, but they are all
forces with which we are perfectly familiar. Now the in-
troduction of electric communication is but of the other
day. We had scarcely taught ourselves to acquiesce
in the idea that instantaneous communication between
two points on solid land was a mere matter of course
than it was gravely proposed to drop the communicating
lino and transmit intelligence along the bottom of the
ocean. The jest or sche4ne of yestereday has become
the fact of to-day. The wildest exaggeration of an
Arabian tale has been outdone by the simple achieve-
ment of modern times. The consequences of the electric
telegraph must be as important as the agency by which
they are obtained is wonderful. Great excitement pre-
vailed throughout Europe when the first balloon carried
up an adventurer into the skies. But there was no com-
parison between each an achievement and the present.
Even the most enthusiastic projectors must have enter-
tained certain doubts us to the practical value of their
aeronautic expedition. In tke ease of the submarine
electric telegraph, the first and obvious effect of this in-
stantaneous communication between to two most
civilized and powerful nations of the world will be
to unite them so closely in community of interests as to
secure their co-operation in all designs that may pro-
mote the advancement of humanity and maintain the
peace of the world. In a groat measure this has been
already effected by a mode of communication which re-
quired at least a certain number of hours. But with the
electric telegraph across the Channel, communication
with Paria is not even a question of seconds. At pre-
sent no doubt-a message must be forwarded to Dover;
at Dover a delay will take place, another at Cape Gris-
as z, and so on through France; but these are mere points
of detail now that the chain of communication has been
carried across the bed of the ocean. Some few ar-
rangements are all that is requisite in order to render a
sustained conversation between two persons, the one in
London, the other in Paris, not merely a possibility, but
a fact.
CHRONICLE.—The history of the Great Northern
Railway Company—which, within the last few weeks,
has virtually restored a considerable portion of the traffic
between the northern and southern extremities of Eng-
land to the old line of communication, viz., the " Great
North Road" of traditional celebrity—certainly forms
one of the most extraordinary episodes even in the an-
nals of English railway enterprise. In 1844, when the
disposable space of many metropolitan and provincial
journals was pretty nearly absorbed by the gigantic ad-
vertisements of a new and iddependent line of railway
between London and York, most of those who con •
sidered themselves possessed of something beyond
the average share of shrewdness were disposed to
look upon the entire project as a capital joke. It
was acknowledged that the scheme looked all very
well on paper, and that it made an extremely good
show in a prospectus; but as to the thing being
done—as to the actual performance of a railway journey
by Barnet, Peterborough, and NeW ark, into the very
heart of Yorkshire—that was one of those contingencies
which seemed to be so unlikely that it might be safely
dealt with as a myth. Most people are aware how those
early opinions have losen gradually falsified. It is no
part of our present purpose to enter into the details of
the narrative. We have no immediate concern either
with that greatest of Parliamentary battles which,
during the space of nearly half a year, was carried on
before a Committee of the blouse of Commons by the
London and York Company and its legion of adversa-
ries, or with the execution of those vigorous measures
which, even during the gloomiest portion of our experi-
ence since 1845, hare kispt the works on this line of rail-
way in a state of progressive activity. We are quite
ready, however, to bestow the commendation which has
been so fairly earned by the conductors of this great na-
tional work. We are perfectly sensible that from the very
commencement of their operations there have be en a unity,
a discretion, a perseverance, and an amount of adminis-
trative skill displayed in nearly the whole of their pro-
ceedings, which stand out in the boldest contrast to the
reckless and imbecile systems of management which have
conducted many similar enterprises to infamy and ruin.
The Great Northern Company has, emphatically, been
saved from shipwreck by the character and the skill
of its principal leaders—that is the whole secret. Any
scheme of management less cautious, less temperate, less
honest, or less able than that which they have adopted,
would long ago have carried the project of 1344 and
1845 into the inexorable lento's which has swallowed so
many of the abortions, the follies, and the conspiracies of
that period. The meeting of the Great Northern Company
on Thursday last was in the highest degree satisfactory.
Mr. Denison is not a kind of chairman whose pteience
is propitious to mere exhibitions. It is quite
clear to those who bear him that he places his
constituents very nearly on a level with himself
as to the secrets of the eompany. Very wisely
for himself, and very fortunately for his railway,
he has extremely few secrets to tell. Ho has hap•
pily had a very limited share of experience in the diplo-
macy of railway superintendence. The Great Northern
Company, unlike some of its contemporaries, is not in
the habit of effecting hairbreadth escapes from the fangs
of jesuitical agreements; nor does it enjoy the habitual
good fortune of accomplishing, once or twice in the half-
year, unparalleled successes in its negotiations or
alliances with surrounding companies. Mr. Denison,
therefore, is reduced to the necessity of speaking upon
perfectly intelligible topics, iti perfectly plain language;
and we must be allowed to say that, whenever a similar
simplicity of procedure shall le introduced into the public
meetings of other railway companies, the alteration will
be as creditable to the common sense as it will certainly
be conducive to the general interests of those concerned.
Mr. Denison very properly pointed out that no
fair inference oneht to be drawn from the present
traffic returns of this line, because hitherto not even the
whole of the passenger trains are at work, nor has any
portion of the mineral traffic between the northern
counties and the metropolis been yet commenced. He
conceives, with justice, that perhaps the greatest strength
of the new line will be in the last-named brench of
trade. Coals are now sold in London at something like
245. a ton for the first qualities; but once set the coal-
waggone on the Great Northern fairly in motion, and it
is a very moderate supposition that the same commodity
may be equally well afforded for 15 or 20 per cent, less
money. Now every material reduction in the cost of
such a prime necessary of life as coal is to

the influence of low prices, false grates assume their
normal dimensions, and fuel is purchased, even by the
very poor, in hundred weights instead of ounces; and
the parties. who have introduced a revolution .of this
kind into the domestic economy of the population,
will ever find, to their own eminent advantage,
that one of the speediest paths to wealth is that which
increases demand by first establishing cheapness. Tak-
ing into account the force of these considerations, we
dare say that Mr. Denison, in the course of his life, has
predicted many things much less likely to happen than
that the Great Northern Company will be fully able to
pay a dividend of 5 per cent. While the Great Nor-
thern shareholders were discussing their affairs in per-
fect good humour and in perfectly intelligible language,
at the Loudon Tavern, the Norfolk Railway Com-
pany were engaged at Guildhall-buildings in dis-
secting their half-yearly report, and in wrangling over
the paragraphs in a very different style. In discus-
sing yesterday the case of the Bristol and Exeter
Company we animadverted upon the mischievous
effect of these railway disputations, and upon the
ruinous influence, as regards certain classes of rail-
way property, of the damaging disclosures which some
companies seem to delight in thrusting upon the
public. Very much the same thing occurred at
the Norfolk meeting on Thursday last. Major Court—
a gentlemen who is, it appears, employed as auditor—
has taken a fancy to promulgate an origin exposition
of the past, pi teent, and future condition of the Norfolk
Company. So far as the facts are at present revealed,
we can Willi no other opinion about the matter than that
he has dune either a very good thing. or is very bad
one; and it seems to be tolerably clear that be must
either say a great deal more, or that he ought to hare
said a great deal less. Among other alleged discoveries,
Major Court conceives that he can make iaapparent that
a Preference Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock to the
extent of 105,000/. has been wrongfully created, and, as
a necessary consequence, that a certain number of per-
sons, who have invested their money in this particular
stock upon the faith of the Norfolk Company
as pledged by the directors, will find themselves
suddenly dragged down, from a comparatis-ely
secure position, into the agitated and uneasy mass who
at present constitute the general body of proprietors of
this line. In the present stage of this dispute, we say
nothing of the plausibility of Major Court's case against
the 51 per cent, holders ; but we can have no difficulty
