Age.
The Medico-Legal Society held their stated

which was adopted
Resolved That this society has learned with great
greet Of the adverse action OF the senate Committee upon

OF that action with the view OF its hna
passage.
Mr.. BELL stated that a deaf mute, utterly ig.
norant, and without any knowledge OF right and
wrong, had been placed on trial for murder, and
was now confined in an insane asylum in this
State. The man was not insane at all, and this
bill was for the purpose OF educating such Totally
ignorant deaf mutes and divesting them OF crimi-
nal responsibility.
Mr. HENRY L. CLINTON stated the bill In reSation
to the defence OF insanity in criminal trials had
ate. He did not know what its fate wOuld be IN
the Senate.
The Executive Committee recommended the al!
mission OF large number Of new members. They

STEPHEN ENGLISH's PETITION
the Assembly Committee on Grievances, owing
to the fact that the memorial Of stephen English,

fore Monday, will not hold their proposed meeting
until Tuesday next. 1t is believed that the Gem

are now the subject matters OF the suit pend
Ing between Winston and the prisoner and
therefore within the jurisdiction OF the Courts.

The committee Will probably next week confer

precise course OF action to be pursued The latter
committee have decided to report a bill based On
resolutions or Mr. Cornell offered last week in rea-
ton to prisoners In Ludlow Street JAIL and the BILL
1t il said, Will repeal the me eIeat" law

THE NEW TR0TTINa RULES.
FOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
AS the Trainers and Drivers Association have
been little misrepresentation part by the news
papers-in their getting hold OF and publishing
some rules that had been drawn up, but never
adopted, which has led to good deal Of discus
sion by the various associations and the owners Of
trottng horses in general, all they have to say
in their behalf is they hope generous public will
wlthneld their 0pinien until the Association Is
brought to more forward state, as they have as
yet only adopted nine rules, which they think
VIII net conflict with the National or any other
horses, as they only amount to starting the
horses as advertised, and have the trots at each
meeting carried out as per programme, to cen
sumo less time In scoring having horse dis
tancing the field to receive all the money; as
owners OF horses pay entrance on the whole
amount OF purse offered, and II thought best at o
future time to give the second horse record, to
try and bring II about. This, with a few other
changes, such as having good and reliable men
put IN the stand Tor judges. as the public owners
ard drivers know II Is one OF the first considera-
tons, as most OF the fault lies there besides this
Association would like TO appoint q committee to
meet another from the National, clothed with the
proper authority, 10 agree upon q code OF rules
made plain and to be firmly carried out as they
wish for nothing unfair, but to have conducted
squarey, II possible. And II the public will only
be patient for while, they will nnd all things on
the Trainers and Drivers part made smooth and
even las II hoped II may bel for the interest OF all
concerned. Knowing this TO be 30, am yours
truly, AN OLD TURTLE AND DRIVER.
