The FsNh Law.

Il il gratifying to the lover of law and
order to ro'e that sentiment against mob
law is rapidly centralising and making t.
self felt. The custom had never come into
existence and able to rsmain but for the
fact that the prevailing sentiment j n
each community was in favor OF it, FOR
it ever t. be given up, public sentimens
must he educated against it, and that
education ia rapidly coming about.

it is the manner in which the puhish-
