IMpARr1AL1TY IN LAw.-The European Cor
respondent of the New York Times says:
The impartiality of the law has just been vip-
dicated by the conviction of Lord for malig
nant libel. aude to the case of Lord Frank
fort, who was tried at the close of last week, in
the Court of Queens Bench, for circulating hand
bills containing the most proAigate insinuations
against the characters of many respectable per-
sons. His lordship for years past has acquired
notoriety as crazy proAigate, and has figured
on various occasions in the courts Of law and at
the police Offices, and always much to his dis
grace. The sentence passed on this aristocratic
roue is imprisonment for twelve months in the
House of Correction, where his lordship now is,
having on his reception, been close cropped and
washed, and made to undergo the usual disci-
pline of convicted offenders. This is as it should
be; and as Lord Campbell, in delivering his
judgment, observed that the law made no diff
ference between the peer and the peasant, there
cannot possibly be better "subect" for the it,
lustration Of this admirable principle than Lord
Frankfort.
