that the libel had inflicted upon her
special pecuniary damage, stated in her
declaration that by reason of it she had
lost the benefit of entertainment at
the house of friends" To this it was
demurred that the loss, if any, arising
from this cause was the husbands loss
and not the wife's, since upon him as
legally bound to support the wife the
additional expense caused by the Gloss
of the entertainment" fell. The judges,
however, ruled that it must be assumed
that the friends whose hospitality the
plaintiff had lost were in the habit of
entertaing her III a more sumptuous
manner than she was accustomed to at
home," and that she had thus sustained
a personal damage in the loss of these

AMONG the many sinecures under the
British government is one which is con-
nected with journalism. This is the
editorship of the London Gazette, q
semi-weekly paper which has been for
two hundred years the official organ for
all legal advertising, but contains no
news nor editorial matter. For many
years past the salary attached to this
nominal "editorship'' has been 9800 Tor
$4,000 year. Two years ago, on the
death of the incumbent, Mr.. Lowe, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer wanted
to abolish this Office, but was opposed
by Mr.. Gladstone, who held that it was
both right and expedient to reserve it
as some way of rewarding gentlemen
connected with the press who have
rendered important service to the
government. The decision of the min
istry was to retain the Office, and the
moment this was known about two
hundred candidates, all connected with
literature or the press, competed for
the vacant post 1t was finally given to
Mr.. Thos. Walker, late editor of the
Daily Nesos, and staunch supporter of
liberal principles. The appointment is
