Law OF SELF DEFENSE.
The English Theory Of Where Protectson'
Ends and Revenge Begins.


Ends and Revenge Begins.
The right CT self defense IS by soma
old writers declared to he Inherent in
al men By the la7F OF nature. Now,
these natural rights are all very
well, but they are not recognized by
the law of Great Britain. It is the law
that a man may defend himself, his
wife. child or servant from physical sg-
gression. He may also repcE By force a
forcible attack upon his property. When
you. or Jour wife. child, or servant is
attacked, or threatened with violence
In such q manner as reasonably to lead
you TO believe that violence IL about 20
be used, you may resist the aggressor.
And as the best mode Of resistance is
very often to attack. you may lawfully
follow the advice given BY an old prize
fighter TO pupil-i- g., ''get in the
first whack T"
But self defense must be moderate.
It must not be totally disproportioned
to the attack. For instance, II hulk
ing ruffian runs at me with a knife,
may shoot him. But If be runs at me
A4C1C4J Will Lis A4cbS O444CACAs o40 =
shoot him dead with revolver, shall
probably be hanged by the neck. Not
that the law expects a man to be calm
and cool and collected in all circum-
stances. By no means. For instance, IL
the said burly rufian rushes at me with
clinched fists, evidently meaning mia
chief, and hit him with a heavy stick
on the back of the ear, may kill him.
But shall not be hanged for that.
had right to use the stick, and in the
circumstances am not to be supposed
to be cool enough to aim for spot not
likely to be fatal Again, self defense
must not develop into revenge Thus.
If am threatened with knife, and by
the timely display of pistol brighten
my assailant so that be runs away,
must not shoot after him. If do, am
just as liable as though he had never
threatened me, because shoot at him
not in self defense, but by way of pun
ishment or revenge. Family Lawyer.

stoutly built. His skin is very dark,
and he wears short, curly beard and

a pair Of most Intelligent eyes. His

lastly, because of its curious
choir. says the SundayiReader.
To understand about this
choir, it Is necessary to review
a little of the history of this
famous old place of worship.
Its origin has two theories. 1t is
most commonly believed that
this chapel is the one known
to have been built by Richard
LII in 1867. # is claimed that
the yearly services now taking
place in it are a survival of
those that were formerly or
dered for the purpose of pray
ing for the souls of the good
Christians who fell in the great
battle. Another supposition
declares this chapel to be at
tached to the old manor house
of the Tyas family at Lead
Hall. and that the memo
rial chapel of Richard III has
long since disappeared.
1t is obvious, however, that
if this were the case, a service
every six months would not
greatly edify the people in
their spiritual life.
Having thus explained the
chapels history, we may go to
the choir. There are two
services yearly held at the
Lead Hall church-one in
April and another in October.
There is, therefore, no regular
body of choristers, but on
such occasions a choir is
made up from the chief singers
in the neighboring towns, who
are under the control, for this
purpose, Of a well known mus
ical professor in Yorkshire.
The majority of the men and
boys who make up the choir
are drawn from York and
Leeds. They receive a stated
fee for their days services.
and are provided with refresh
The regular services OF theI
Church of England is used.
The congregation at these SER
vices often does not exceed
half a dozen people, or half
the size of the choir. The vicar
of a neighboring parish con-
ducts of services.
Those who maintain the
of the chapei's origin in
the time of RiehafdIIf declare
that the King made asgrant of
for the holding Of me-
mortal services, and that is for7
this reason that two services
a year are regular held.
