Sec—l have read. is the newspapers, that the Lord
Chaos:eller has, lately. ordered three names only, to
he platted on the list of causes, which are to be tried
on the same day ; and that the Attornies, of those
three causes only, are to be allowed their costs. This
is, I thick, a very good regulation. But, I wonder
that the Chancellor never thought of it before; he has
been in that office thirty years; and. the first thing,
that every MIMI who bolds a jadicial situation should
think of, is strict justice. A Chancellor don not act
justly, unless be keep his mind's eve. on the cap
of every pore°n whose cause is brought into the Court
of Chancery, for his judgment. He mast know.

TO TES EDITOR or TEC STATESMAN.
Pentonville, July 27, 1921.
Sin--The part you have acted in giving publicity to
the vary just view you have taken of this subject, de-
serves the thane of the public at large ; whilst the
dead silence of the other Papers, for so away days,
cannot fail to tura" in the mind of every impartial per-
son, feelings of ftusf, the cause of such silence being
perfectly anderdeM' In your excellently written re-
mocks of Thursday yen observe—" We know not. how-
ever, of any law. by which a man may be unbisltoped,
or have his revers ken from hie,. We do know
" however, that a law, can be made to do it, and for
" the honour of the country we do hope that the Perlis-
" meat will cot separate without taking this matter
"
perfectly agree with you, Mr. Editor, in this hope,
if the honour of the country, the honour of Bishops and
the Clergy, cannot be supported without the interfer-
ence of the Legislature; bat, if this can be done. and I
think it can, then the Parliament may be spared the
trouble of legislating on so disgusting a subject. though
the words in the preamble to the Bill, following the large
word Whereas, would certainly present a novel and
really curious spectacle. An Archbishop, or Primate,
bath two concurrent jurisdictions, one as Ordinary or
Bishop within his own diocese, the other as superintend-
ent throughout his whole province of all ecclesiastical
matters, to correct and supply the defects of other
Bishops; and lsy • Cann cif Edmund. Archbishop of
Canterbury, " There shall be in every Desnry, two or
" three me., hooky God /ore their eyes, who at the
" command of the Archbishop or hie official, shall pre-
" sent unto them the. public messes of Prelates and
" other of the Clergy. This passage will be found in
the first vol. of Burns Ecclesiastical Law, Title Bishops,
where, the words public excesses, are declared to mean,
any thing notorious, whereof great and public infamy
sloth arise; and what let me ask can occasion greeter
public infamy—what can possibly more tend to bring
