On last Saturday the motion for new
trial in the case of William Robinson,
convicted of manslaughter for the killing
of Chris. Ashoff in Bellaire last winter,
was argued by RobinsOn's counsel and
overruled by the court. In prOnOuncing
sentence Judge briggs said that, if guilty
at all, Robinson is guilty of greater
crime than that of which he stands con-
victed. That the verdict was evidently
a compromise and that it should have
been murder in the second degree, as the
manner of Ashoffs death was clearly due
to the wounds inflicted by a shovel in the
hands of Robinson. The sentence is six
years in the penitentiary. The prisoner
bore the sentence with considerable for
titude but at times gave way to tears.
Robinson is 81 years of age, and it seems
probable that the remainder of his life
will be spent in prison, if he serves out
his sentence His son Dexter, who was
also implicated, gets off comparatively
easy with fine of S75 and 80 days in jail.

French call them. he would run the
risk of being regarded with the
same disfavor as his father, the Prince
Consort. whose blameless life and faultless
character led to his being considered by
the English people at large as something of
p1g. On the whole. they are right to
view the faults of the royal Welshman
with indulgence. For, aside from the
natural Discrimination to provoke outbursts
of iil-temper on the part of so good -humored
and jovial-hearted Prince. there is uni
versal disposition to abstain from all lndi-
vidual criticism or censure OF his conduct
He lives in an atmosphere OF such loyalty
that il may almost be described as syeo-
phancy. and although he may be made the
object of collective and indirect criticism
from those who do not come into actual
contact with him. yet there is no
ont to him the right and wrong
of his ways. If he has remained
an honorable and true-hearted gentleman.
and if his record is free from all but mere
venIal sins. it is due to his own sound
pose, and his ingrained horror of every
thing that is mean and vulgar. And with
regard to this distinction between collect
I've and individual criticism, 1t Is well TO
bear in mind that all the sentiments which
foreigners are disposed to regard as indi-
eating dsloyalty and latent republicanism
in England are merely collective. and not
individual The average everyday En-
glshman is at as much a snob Row as he
was IN the days when Thackeray held him
up to the ridicule of the world. There
is no son of john Bull who is
not susceptible to the influence of
rank and perhaps the best illustration
that can be given thereof is the mention of
