NEW HOME FOR HISTORIC HERD.

Everybody who IS interested in the preservation
OF oldtime features Of English life Will be glad
to learn that the Duke OF Bedford. among the
most popular and respected OF all the peers Of his
grade has purchased the historic Charley herd
of wild cattle. which the present Earl Ferrers
has been compelled by financial stress 10 SELL along
with his ancestral home. at Charley Hall. in
Stanordshire. at public auction. The herd. OF
which there are only about a couple OF dozen
head left. has been transferred by the duke to
Woburn Abbey, his immense place at Hertfordshire
where he has already succeeded in acclimauzing
an extraordinary collection Of all sorts OF animals
the duchess being quite as fond OF the latter as
himself and exercising wonderful influence upon
them.

DAYS OF Mary Queen Of Scots. who spent several
years at Charley Hail. riding and hawking. in the
prirevaI park by which the hall surrounded. and

is known beyond the tradition that they were
driven into Charley Park from the neighborins
forests Of NeedwoOd during the reign OF King
Henry III The cattle have always been OF a dull
cream color. their ears, muzzles and horns being
tipped with black. except two or three occasions
when either through negligence or intention the

No R1GHr 40 Exc111on.

Lord Alverstoue. the Lord Chief Justice OF Eng
land has once again proclaimed the doctrine all
ready enunCiated some fourscOre years ago by
another eminent Judge Of the Kings Bench, Sir
William Bayley. that the public has a right to be
present at trials and that Judges have no author
ity to bar them out save In the rare Instances
when the interests Of morality and decenoy neces-
state a case being heard In camera According to
the Lord Chisf Justice ''it Is Of the essential
qualities OF court Of Justice that It's proceedings
should be public, and that all parties who may be
desirous of hearing what Is going on. II there be
room in the place for that purpose. have a right
to be present for the purpose OF hearing what is
going on" In view OF this ruling there will be no
further attempt to exclude the public from causes
celebre for the beneht OF the favored few who have
been provided with tickets or invitations. a prac-
tice which has become common on both sides Of the
Atlantic, and it would be interesting to know what
the judges in this country have to say with regard
to the Lord Chief Justice Of England's decision
