SOCIETY JSOTLb AN I) TEltSONAL PARS. [From TRUTH "J There lias been a hitch abon't tin; Lord Lieutenancy of Cheshire, winch was to have been given 10 Lord Iollemaehe, but the late Duke of Westminster Mjt-s a Liberal Unionist, so that sectioll of tbo party claim t Iw utfivu for otit) of themselves. It may bo hoped that Lord Salisbury will have strength to re-sist the impudent demand, considering the exl ravagann manner in which the Liberal Unionists-have been fl" warded with places of honour of every description Lord Roberts's coup of last, week sectus to have been all admirably planned movement, and highly creditable to all concerned—especially the brilliant and ever-successful French. It is a pleasure to at last see real strategy coming into play in place of the ram-headed tactics which marked the estrlier phase of the war and brought about most of our disa-iiers. At the same time, we seeUl up to the preseiit to have missed scoring anything that. can be reckoned aa a decisive victory. We are extricated from the entanglement of Kimberley," but somc- how or other the enemy's army has escaped us, and lives to light another day. Perhaps nol hing has conduced so much to fan tho war fiair.e ;LS thoO announcement that (lie Dutch Republics had proclaimed tho annexation of por- tions of olir Colemio-S. It was sent home bv Sir Alfred Nl I i ii (- r. it now appears that. Sir Alfred had list-cued to mere rumour, and that the lie- pubiies never had proclaimed tht-an))cxa.ttor)..)..t<a square inch of British territory. The aunounee- meni, like in any other misstatements anent this war. served its purpose, and is now one of the staple assertions in Jingo speeches. What if would seem the Republics did was, when they occupied a portion of our n 'v with their troops, to appoint persons to see order. Hut this is in- variably done und.'r similar circumstances. AT 1". Ba lfour and Mr. Chamberlain have aired tho opinion that, the Transvaal* rs are attacking the Zulus, and they say tit.,tt. If tiiI I shall employ black troops and A-iat ic- troops against them. Zulldand is a port ion of British territory. w<- have magistraies and We sent a force to march through it u> order to UsC it, IIS a Il.lSO of operations against tile Transvaal. The Republic replied by sending their troops there to prevent this advance. There is not one atnlll of evidence that these troops acted in any way against the Zuius. It looks, therefore, to 1110 as though the Govern- iitt,iit lo(iklii- oiit for an excuse to tfot out of its promise not to sond Indian troops to South Africa, and 1101 to turn .oose Oil white men armed blacks.

To make <»cli persons work for night s lodging is perfectly just and proper, ;1;1 nobody cm object to a fairly heavy burden inflicted upon the professional tramp. But, the breaking of such a quantity as ha.lf a ton of st,.ne certainly seems a cruel anil excessive task to exact from any but- pracli-s-d hands, and if it -is ivcpnrod indiscriminately of -I] 111")) entering tho casual ward, 1 trust that 'he f.ne.il Croverument Loard will call upon the Reading Rumbles for an amendment of their regulations. The fact that a town of t( ii or eleven thousand | I!IWO,<P ? being supplied with water which tlw Snie.Iieal officer has pronounced unfit for drinking Mj.ur).o-<-? hardly fecms a suitable (heme for JO?rs— pgood. bad. or indifferent.

Sr»e:<|,i^ jhe other j dav Ot the complaints that have been rife concerning the water, his worship remarked that "to one gentleman who attacked liiiti he replied asking what he had got to complain about w hen he could have something to cat and drink for the same money"—a truly de!ec<ab:e example of civic humour! The Mayor added lhat "as <oon as the Weaiher would permit, and they had the brain power to do it. aM would be put risrht." Tho mend. but.p-emcr tho ill- umed flippancy with which thf (??etionKtrf-atr.d. the bunrcs-scs may well b? donb'nd whether the requisite "brain power" wiI b' forthcoming.

AX ACCENTUATED DIFFERENCE. Although one leader now unites The parties that once two or three led, When Tim complains of fancied slights The schism is not healed but Ilcalv'd. Tiie news of ]\Ir. Jo-eph Co-.von'-i death recalls memories of the parr he played, as member for Newcastle, in relation to that critical phase of tho Eastern Question, which troubled the later years of the Beacon-field Ministry, and all but precipitated an Anglo-Russian war. On that occasion Mr. Ct), the ino?? advanced c)f I'?, severed him- self from his farty and strcnuom!y supported the n'rJJmcnt in its dnJ a?am-t Russian aggression. ?'nr? that time Ills ncw?papfr. the Newcastle Chronicle, has been at all times n. thorn in the side of GhuMonian Radicalism, and his great influence in th" northern citv wan in no small measure re- snonsible for the defeat of .hi- bete iioii-(,. -\fr. Toliii Morley. at the Iasr general election. Though one of tlli- f-r-t Radical TTome Ru'crs, lie was also the fir-t Radical Imperialist, and his active pen and rough e.oqueneo were inspired hy a spirit of sturdy patriotism wnen that virtue was a. "ice in the ejes of hi-- political associates. Though thp tucc-e-s of Lord Roberts's brilliant movement, seems to have <t(,lIn¡\(1 short of the realisation of its fullest possibilities, it is yet suffi- ciently sweeping, both in its material and moral effect, to exercise an immense, and it may be a deeisiye influence upon the future of the cam- paign. The full f'xt"llt of the achievement—of which the relief of Kimberley. though welcome enough in itself, is only an incident—cannot yet be -of.uately realised; but even if the escape of Cronio's nrmy shotdd prove to be success- f'.l. tin-re are the best reason* for anticipating that the Poers will now find it imperatively necessary to draw- off a portion of the large force hitherto o,enined in the investment of Ladysmitb and so facilitate Sir Redvers Buller' renewed effort to relieve th > town and join hands with Sir George White. Formidable as are the d-flienltios still to be f;tc-(I. there seems good ground for the pon- fideMt hope that the era of blunders and miscalcula- tions is closed, and that-the turning point of the cimoaign has been reached. Rut. at the best, there is silll "a Ion-, row- to hoe" before the inevitable end is attained and it cannot be doubted that the Government will recognise the paramount necessify or continuing to simply Lord Roberts with adequate reinforcement w ithout which the fine-it creneral- ship may he paralysed and the best-laid plans ren- dered abortive. [From M.A.P."] | The following perfectly true story (writes a well- informed correspondent) has ju-t reached home by the last-Cape mail: Lord Ki'chener was lunching with a pfomiiient civilian at Cape Town. Ilis host inquired, Well, Lord Kitchener, how do you pro- po-o to reorganise the transport?" "Reorganise it? I shall organise it was the startling reply, given With Kitchener's peculiarly sardonic smile. Apropos of the number of "ColoneL;" in Bula- wayo during the war the following- amusing- talc is told A newly-arrived subaltern had been taken in hall(1 hv a Colonel," and introduced to the Bula- wayo Club. On leaving his host the youngster said ,1\, good-night, Colonel,' and saluted. Simul- 1 tancously twenty-threo men, who were lounging ahont. the stoop and veranda, rose, solemnly touched their hats, and said Good-night!' Sir William MacCormac, who has just left Durban to join Lord Roberts at the front, has formally contradicted the report that vas pretty prevalent at the time of his departure to the seat of war, to thp effect that he had volunteered his services. He I holds the appointment of Chief Consulting Surgeon to the British Forces in Africa, and for this his Stipend is to be at the rate of £ 5,000 a year. Treves receives exactly the same amount for goitiL- out, and so do Mr. Makins and Mr. Watson Clieyne. Mr. Cheatle, who is really a junior, is also in receipt of £ 5,000 a year, owing to a blunder made by a Government clerk. The latter, 'n writing the formal notification of Mr. Clieatle, g appoint- ment. mistakenly named the sum he was to be paid at a very much higher figure than the de- partment had ever dreamt of naming. Mr. Caea Je, however, has been able to compel the Gove ■•1mc .1t to keep to the terms of the agreement—mistake or no mistake—and scores accordingly.

As a result of the establishment of a School Board at Blackpool, a pupil-teachers centre for the Fylde I has been established. Lord Hc-neage ha vdthdr?wn theopinionexpressed j by hi? ns to Sir William Butler's personal resnonsi- blliiy for tho want of proper pn-pannions foj—,1 ilO defence of Cape Colony before th ?ar, and has also offered an expression of apology to Sir William for the words used.

He appears to have bad, in fact, at his own disposition not ranch more than about iEl,200000 Th" personal estate of the late Duke of Northumber- land was vala-d at £ 50,950, and tha.t the late Duke of Beaufort at £ 8,867.

THE DEATH DUES NOT EYADED. A leading fiuancial authority states that the view which has become current as to the amount cf duty I payable upou the late Duke of Westminster's fortune and property is based upon an entire misconception. In the case of snch large possessions considerable expenditure for maintenance and management is required long before the completion of the protracted process, by which the whole of the extensive landed estates is valued and Jformally proved. The executors, in order to liberate sufficient capital for various immediate purposes, have, therefore, only proved in the first instance such personalty as the late Duke could himaelf have at once disposed of, amounting to zE594,000, but it does not follow that this reprehents the entire personalty, and it certainly does not include any of the enormous capital value of the Duke's real estate in London, Cheshire, and elsewhere. That realty will, in due course, be valued and proved as a preliminary to the payment of the prescribed death dues. The death dues are thus in no sense evaded.

I LOCAL LAW CASES. 1 DOUGLAS v. THE UNITED MINERA I MINING COMPANY, LIMITED. Tnere came on for hearing, on Saturday, thia appeal of the defendant company from a decision of the county court judge at Wrexham holding that the plaintiff, a widow, was entitled to iEZ41 compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, for the loss of her husband. It appeared that the deceased man was a miner, and was employed in the defendant company's lead mine at Minera. On the 15th April last, having finished work for the day, he was ascending from the 340 yards level, where he had been engaged, by means of the sump shaft carrier, when the boy who was winding him np let go the rope, and be was dashed to the bottom of the pit and sustained such severe injuries that he shortly after- wards expired. The defence was (1) that the man was not killed by an accident aribing out of and in the course of his employment and (2) that the accident was solely attribntable to serious and wilful miacondnct On the part of the man himself. The county court judge, however, gave judgment in faTour of the plaintiff. Mr Ruegg. Q C.. and Mr Bryn Roberts appeared for the appellants and Mr C A. .Russell, Q.G., Mr Samuel Moss, M.P., and Mr T. E. Morris, for the respondent. Mr Ruegg, in opening the case for appeal, said he thought he should be able to convince their lordships that the accident was brougnt about by the serious and wilful misconduct of the deceased man and, further, that the accident did not arise out of and in the course of the man's employment. The evidence showed that there were two ways by which access was gained to the 340 yards level. One way was down the City shaft, which went direct to the 340 yards level, while the other was by way of the Roy shaft. If the miners went down the latter shaft they had to go first to the 315 yards leval, and thence by means of ladders to the deeper level. The shaft by which the deceased was ascending when he met with the accident he had no right to use at all, a.nd the evidence showed that the carrier was provided for lifting and lowering material only. The boy, in the course of his evidence, stated that be had wound the carrier up to the top of the shaft, and that he' was so startled at seeing a man in it that he let it gu before he could put on the brake. Lord Justice Collins: The man was coming up from the mine at the ordinary time when he met with the accident, was he not ? Mr Ruegg Yea, my lord Mr Justice Collins Then the accident must have arisen out of and in the courBe of his employ- ment ? Lord Ja-ithe Smith All you can say is that the man possibly went up the mine a wron g Way, and that in doing so he was guilty of serious and wilful misconduct. Mr Ruegg said his submission wa3 that the man, in endeavouring to got out of the mine by way of the sump shaft, was guilty of serious and wilful mis- conduct, but he could not admit that the accident arose out of and in the coarse of his employ- ment. Tho fact that the miiti was doing some- thing, when he m't his death, which he had been ordered not to do by hia employers, was Buuicient proof, he (Mr Ruegg) submitted, ihat the accident did not arise in the course of the man's employ- nu nt. Mr Justice Smith said the man had to get out of tbo mine, and whether he went the right or the wrong way it was still part of h's employment to leavfl the mine. The oaiy question for the court was whether the man Wus guilty of serious and wil- ful misconduct. At this stuge the case wa adjourned. At the Kitting of the court, on Monday, Mr Ruegg, Q.C., for the appellants, argued that the defendant r"¡ voluntary lisk which was certainly not to be considered an during the course of his employment. It was deliberately done. Tho man intended to break tho rule, and he submitted that amounted to wiifui misconduct. O i these grounds he couteuied thrtt there should Iih, been judgment for the I defendants. L)ïJ Justice Smi:h add tha deceased came up from the 340ft. 1»:V?1 in the course of his employ- ment, thougn he did not choose a p-oper way. But taere was evidence to fihow that the miner* I habitually used tiiis forbidden meam of egress. It \Taa clear that the accident arose Gut Of and during the course of his employment. T'te learned County Court Juiige came to a proper decision, and this I apotal must be dismissed with costs. Mr It. VGlascodine. of Wrexhe.iii. was solicitor for th- appcllajts.'ihi' Miuera Mining Comp my, and Mr Wynn Evans, Wrexham, was solicitor for the respondent, Mrs Margaret Douglas, ————— DISPUTE OYER A PROMISSORY NOTE r. ine case oi uouens v. rryinercii itt3 been heard by Mr Justice Channel! and Mr ,j notice Buckniil, sitting as a Divisional Court in the Quesu'd Bench Division. This was a. claim by an oid retired coal miner to recover iLlOO which he alleged was due from defendaut upon a. promissory uote for that amount given by defendant, soniu years t..H.d: Defendant said tllj note had been returned io him by the piaiu- tff as a gift, aud that all that was due from him was £ 4 interest yearly. The County Court Judge at Mold aud Flint held that tiiere had been an absolute and unconditional renunciation by plaintiff of his claim. ;'lId entered judgment for the defendant and plaintiff uow appealed ou the gteuuj that such de- cision was wrong in law. Mr J. Eldon Bankes, instructed by Mr Wynn Evans, Wr> xiie.m, appeared for the plaintiff epellant, and Mr Sama -1 Moss, M.P., instructed by .\1.. G. S. Siiaon, Mold, far the defendant respondent. Ms Most, submitted ti-.e County Court Judge was ia his findings on the facta. The 62ad aec- uon of the bills 01 exchanga act s .id, When the holder of a bill at or after its lii^utity absolutely and unconditionally renounces his i !^iit itg.uusc the acceptor, the biil is discharged. The renunciation must be in writing, unless the bill is delivered up to the acceptor." In the present case they not only had a renunciation in writing which was verv clear, but they had delivery of the bill as well. Tne en- dorsement at the back of the note said, This pro- missory was given to eecure the sum due to me from the executors of Edward Prytherch. deceased, and I hereby give this note as an absolute gift to Ed. Andrew Prytherch, who signed the note, and as an acknowledgment that I have no claim I hand over this note to Ed. Andrew Prytherch. Witness my hand, John Roberta." Therefore that disposed of the note altogether, and the judge fcund at the same time that there was a collateral verbal agreement by defendant to pay plaintiff P-4 interest yearly apart from any liability on the note. Mr Justice Channell said the court thought the appeal ought to be dismissed. The view he took was that the transaction was precisely the same as if this endorsement had not been made, and in substitution for it there had been given another promissory not. If that had been so, the first promissory note would have goue altogether. The judge clearly intended to find that the claim all this note had altogether gone, and lie could not say the judge ought not to have fouud that. Upon these grounds, he thought the appeal must be dis- missed. Mr Justice Buckniil said he agreed in the result, but he thought on the evidence if he had been trying the case he would have found differently, because it appeared all the plaintiff desired to give up was the ieloo principal. However, he could not say the County Conrt Judge, who had seen and heard the witnesses, was not justified in accepting the defendant's version in preference to that of the plaintiff. The appeal was dismissed with costs. I HUGH PRICE AND CO. v. IVOliS-NIP AND CO. I In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, on Friday, counsel moved, before Mr Justice Bryne, for an injunction to restrain the defendants from infringing the plaintiffs' trade-mark, and from applying certain marks to goods which are not the plaintiffs' goods, and from passing off goods as the plaintiffs, which are not their goods. The plaintiffs carry on business at Wrexham, and the defendants at Oldham, the goods in question being leather, and the trade-mark The cat and the monkey." The defendants appeared by counsel, and agreeing to treat the motion as the trial, submitted to an injunction in the terms of the notice cf motion, delivering np or desf- --tion of infringing articles, an inquiry b to dam d, and to give particulars of goods maiked in infringement. Tha plaintiffs were Messrs Hugh Price and Co., Bridge-street, Wrexham, whose counsel were Mr Fletcher Moulton, Q.C., M.P., and air John Shaw (instructed by Messrs James and Mellor, Coleman-street, London.) The defendants are Messrs Woranip and Co., 107, Roch- dale-road, Oldham," for whom Mr Sebastian (in- structed by Mr Fripp, Manchester) appeared.
