the church presents struggle agafaab
peculiar hindrances, WHICH tested It's lie
and the spirit OF the brethren who found
ed If. It's most severe test was under the
practice, common with the churches of
the colony, of admitting to it's member
ship persons who sought the rights Of
citizenship only, or'sThe Halfway Cove
nant," as it was called. Theological
controversy, originating in the preaching
of Robert Sandman, was disturbing
this and the neighboring churches. The
colony was sufft ring from the burdens
of the Revolutionary War, and par
ticularly this locality. In the year l775,
a malignant disease caused the death of
more than fifty members of the society.
L5 was found at the close of Rev Mr. Wet
more's ministry, that the roll of the
church had decreased from the original
seventy-one members to thirty-six, but
these had confessed the full covenant.
The details of these earlier years of
trial, and the succeeding years Of growth
and progress, are preserved in the admir-
abl9 centennial discourse of Rev l.. P.
Hickok, D. D., preached November &c.

LAW OF RAILWAY SEATS.

n judgment of the greatest import
ance to railway travellers was deliver
ed recently by Judge Emden. \ gen
tleman travelling from London to Has
tings had occasion to leave the car
riage at Tunbrdge Wells, and took
the ordinary precautions of reservlng
his seat with his umbrella and news
papers. While he was absent another
passenger seized his place and refused
to vacate it until forcibly elected. As
a result an action for damages was
brought against the original owner of
the seat by the intruder, and counter
claim for similar damages was entered
by the other side as well. The judg-
ment delivered was one which will
commend itself to ninety-nine out of
a hundred travellers. The claim for
damages for eiectment was dismissed
and the counter claim allowed. For
the future. therefore. the catankerous
individual who persists in disturbing
elers in the manner indicated will now
know how he stands. and that if the
owner of the seat thinks fit to bundle
him out neck and crop that the latter
will not only have the sympathy of the
public, but the law on his side. There
can be no question whatever that the
universal mode of retaining seat in
a railway carriage is most reason
able and convenient one, and the sin
cere thanks of the public are due to
Judge Emden for his very clear and
sensible Interpretation of the law. Not
the least important point in his iudg-
ment is his assertion that holder OF
seat was entitled to use reasonable
force to eject an intruder.
