Rich and Poor In England.

There is a pleasing fiction that the
same law exists in England for rich and
poor, for peer and peasant. This is cor.
rect in theory. When 1t comes to prac-
tice the result is sometimes queer. If
you were Earl of Gainesborough, for ex-
ample, you would discover how grace.
fully the theory may On occasions bend
to your wishes. The Earl of Gaines
borough is by no means a great man
among Earls. His csrldom is not yet
forty years old; his property nothing
wonderful for his rank; he, himself not
known to be remarkable. above the aver.
age for talents or virtues. But he owns
two-fifths of the land in Rutlandshire,
and In that county knows neither So.
perior nor equal. A man has been found
bold enough to bring action against HIM
and has since spent a good deal of time
in his efforts to get it tried. The bold
mans name 10 Baxter. lie had been
injured while driving, the servants of the
Earl of Gainesborough having uegli-
gently left a ladder in the highway.
The suit was brought in the county.
Finding that he could not hope for an
unbiased Rutiandshire jury, the plaintiff
tried to get the venue changed to London
but tailed. He then abandoned that &C.
ton, paid the Earl's costs, amounting to
eco. and began a second action in London
which the defendant promptly caused to
be transferred again to his private coun-
ty. Not discouraged, the plaintiff went
before The court of common Pleas, SIT
ting in bench, and moved for q rule to
enter a suggestion for the trial Of the
cause in London or some county ad-
joining Rutlandshire. His affidavit re-
cited some of the above facts, and one
other still more full OF meaning-thst
two local solicitors had declined to
bring action for fear of offending
the earl and his connections before
whom the prscticed at sessions. This
takes us back to the Middle ages, when
. bailif served q writ upon . nobleman
at the risk of his life. In these DAYS
he would merely risk being ruined for
life. The court of Common Pleas
granted the rule. which will be argued
presently.-N. y. TFsb.
