MR. BRIGHT ON INDIAN GOVERN- MENT. v Acknowledging the receipt of a work which had been forwarded to him by its Bengali author, Mr. John Bright, M.P., has just written:—" You speak of my services to your country. I wish I could have done more for your vast population now connected and subject to the rule of my country. It is to me a great mystery that England should be in the posi- tion she now is in relation to India. I hope it may be within the ordering of Providence that ulti- mately good may arise from it. I am convinced that this can only come from the most just government which we are able to confer upon your countless mil- lions, and it will always be a duty and a pleasure to me to help forward any measure that may tend to the wellbeing of your people, I think I per- ceive an increased interest here in your welfare, and a growing intelligence and influence among the natives in India in anything that is calculated to pro- mote their wise and just government. The princi- ples which have distinguished the administration of Lord R;pon seem to me to be those which promise to be beneficial to you and creditable to us. I hope every future Governor-General may merit the confi- dence of our Government at home and of the vast population whose interests may be committed to his charge. I thank you for the gift of your volumes. I shall value them as you desire, and as a proof that in the little I have been able to do my small services have been appreciated by those for whom my sym- pathy and good intentions have been so strongly ex- cited. So far as I know how to do so, I would be as much a friend of India as of England."

1 NEW FLOATING DOCK AT PENZANCE Penzance was en fete on Monday in view of the opening of the new floating dock, an undertaking which has occupied five years in construction, and which has cost between £60,000 and £ 70,000. In the immediate proximity of the harbour there was a great display of bunting. Five steamers, gaily decked, entered the dock just before ten o'clock, one being a cargo steamer. Hundreds of people lined the quays, and cheered heartily as the steamers passed in. The Mayor, Mr. C. C. Ross, M.P., performed the opening ceremony. He said-As Mayor of Penzance, and on behalf of the aldermen, councillors, and burgesses of this ancient ana loyal borough, I declare this floating dock open to the public for purposes of commerce. (Cheers.) I humbly pray that the blessing of Almighty God will rest upon this great work, and that it will prove a source of ever-increasing prosperity, not only to the inhabitants of this town and of the neighbour- hood, who have watched this work from its inception to its completion, but for their descendants for many a generation yet to come. Congratulatory peals were rung from the parish church.

PERSON AND PROPERTY. Lord Coleridge was right in calling attention the other day to the often shocking disproportion between punishments for offences against property and those for offences against the person. A servant-girl for stealing thirty shillings is sent to prison for three months; a man who knocks out another's front teeth in a brutal assault gets off with a fine of twenty shillings. Then there is the disproportion between the sentences passed by different judges for the same class of crime or misdemeanour. London criminals call the Surrey Sessions the slaughter-house; if they are arraigned before the terrible Mr. Hardman they are sure of a much heavier sentence than if they are committed to the Central Criminal Court; and, again, at the Old Bailey, there are prisoners who have every interest in being tried by the Recorder rather than by the Common Serjeant. A man who comes up before Sir W. Charley for robbery with violence, may be sure that he will get a flogging; but Sir Thomas Chambers seems not to approve of the cat-o'-nine tails. It is not, perhaps, advisable to limit the discretion of judges, but the entire reform of our criminal code is a matter that will press for consideration whenever constituencies and Parliaments shall have come to take really practical views as to the functions of the State in punishing. To shut up for years a man who might be much more effectively and cheaplv corrected by a flogging is both absurd and cruel. On brutal natures flogging acts as an assured deterrent, and it ought to be applied in all ca<*es of ruffianly crimes which wound or maim. Capital punishment, on the other hand, might be advan- tageously extended to cases in which a man by repeated brutal crimes has shown that he is not fit to live at large. As Stuart Mill said It is a foolish squeamishness to hesitate about taking a man's life when you do not scruple to take from him all that makes life worth having." We put a man to a worse use than hanging when we sentence him to penal servitude for life-that is, to a long existence of degradation and suffering. Generations wiser than ours will admit this as a truism, and our model con- vict establishments will then be thought of as relicts of an unenlightened, falsely-humanitarian age.- Graphic.

LORD LYTTON S LETTERS. In the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) on Friday in last week, before Vice-Chancellor Sir James Bacon, the case The Earl of Lytton v. Devey was heard. Mr. Marten, Q.C., with whom were Mr. Methold and Mr. Herbert Stephen, moved in two actions, one as the plaintiff, as executor of the late Lord Lytton, against Miss Devey, as executrix of the late Lady Lytton, and Messrs. Swann, Sonnenscheim and Co., to restrain publication of letters written by the late Lord Lytton to the late Lady Lytton the other by the plaintiff against Miss Devey alone, to obtain possession of the same letters. In the second action the motion only went to restrain the defendant from parting with the possession of the letters until the hearing or further order. It will be remembered that on the 7th of October last a notice of Messrs. Swann and Co.'s new publication appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette, togetber with extracts from some of the letters, and immediately afterwards the first-named action was commenced. After stating the principal facts—namely, the marriage of the late Lord and Lady Lytton in August, 1827, their separation in April, 1836, the death of the late Lord Lytton in Jan., 1873, and of the widow in March, 1882— the learned counsel proceeded to point out that these letters, some 298 in number, were of a private cha- racter, which it would be very objectionable to pub- lish. The excuse put forward for publishing them was the necessity of vindicating the character of the late Lady Lytton from certain charges alleged to have been made against her in plaintiff's work, entitled Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of the late Lord Lytton," now in course of publication but it was contended there was nothing in the plaintiff's book to justify any such necessity, and various ex- tracts were read in support of this contention. Mr Millar, Q.C. (with whom Mr. G. Millar and Mr. H. G. Watts) argued that the letters were the property of the defendant, as executrix, and that the publica- tion was absolutely necessary in order to counteract the impressions conveyed, perhaps unconsciously, in the plaintiff's book against the late Lady Lytton's character, upon several points — as that she had insisted upon the late Lord Lytton's fulfilling his engagement to marry her against the wishes of his mother, and his own-that she was extravagant, and unskilled in the management of domestic matters, and ased to throw the burden of such arrangements upon her husband, and that she was devoid of proper maternal instincts towards her children. After a long argument, the Yice-Chancellor, without hearing a reply, said that the law was -plain, and had been settled long before the case of Pope v. Curll, which had been referred to and ever since the property in letters was in the person to whom they were sent. The sendee," if such an expression might be used, was the owner of them, and entitled to retain them, but subject to a right subsisting in the writer of the letters to restrain the publication of their contents. It would indeed be a monstrous thing in the present case if the law were otherwise. There -could be no doubt that the letters written by the late Lord Lytton to his wife before their marriage belonged to her, and remained hers, notwithstanding the marriage; and that, as to those written by him to her after marriage, they belonged to her for her separate use, the separa- tion deed having no effect whatever upon this portion of the late Lady Lytton's property. Bat there existed at the same time a right in the plaintiff as executor of the writer of the letters to prevent the publication of their contents-always supposing that such publication was not necessary for the purpose of vindicating private character. It had been said, and strenuously con- tended, that such a vindication in this instance was necessary, but in his lordship's view this was not the case. The book, in the opinion of the Court, con- tained no imputation against the character or conduct of the late Lady Lytton, consequently no excuse existed for the publication of these private letters. As it was understood that the defendants disclaimed all intentions of publishing any letters of the late Lord Lytton to the plaintiff, no injunction was neces- sary as to these letters but as to the rest, there must be an injunction restraining publication; and in the second action, all that the plaintiff was entitled to, and in fact all he now asked, was, that the letters should remain in statu quo, and not get into the hands of some stranger who might be disposed to publish them. As to the plaintiff's right to possess those letters as owaer, and to have been delivered up, nothing need now be said; that was a question for the hearing; but in the meantime there must be an injunc- tion restraining the defendant from parting with them to anybody but the plaintiff.

A distressing case of suicide through love is reported from Oswaldtwistle. On Saturday night a railway labourer named Splan, aged 20, went for a walk with his sweetheart, a girl named Fyn, and stayed at her house till midnight. On leaving, he asked her to go to the door, but she declined, whereupon he said that if she wanted to see him again she must go to the lodge (a reservoir) at Simpson's Mill. He was not seen after- wards, and on Tuesday his body was found in the lodge. Splan had been courting the young woman for four years, and had asked her to marry, but she declined. A woman named Mary Ann Higgs, aged 28, has met her death at Leicester under distressing circumstances. She was employed in a spinning factory with about forty others. In the evening the light was extinguished by the gas being turned off, and the deceased became alarmed. Part of the machinery was stopped, and on a light been procured she was picked up dead, through > stoppage of the hearth itction. The perpetrator of the joke is undiscovered
