THE WELSH UNIVERSITY DRAFT CHARTER. The principles embodied in the suggested draft charter for the proposed Welsh University have hitherto been surrounded by the draft charter com- mittee with a quite unnecessary degree of mystery. As the subject is of admitted national importance, it is well that the people should know what the principles are which the majority of the members of the draft charter committee are determined to impose upon Wales. Clauses I and 2 provide that Monmouthshire shall be included in the word "Wales," and that "women as well as men shall be eligible for degrees in the univer- sity, and for every office and for membership of every body." This is wide enough, and perfectly in accord with what might be expected in these days, when women are freeing themselves from ancient restrictions prohibitions, and disabilities. Clauses 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. deal with the constitution of the university and the formation of the supreme governing body, to be called the court of governors. The Sovereign is to be visitor of the university. The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth; the University College of North Wales, Bangor, and the University College of South Wales and Monmouth- shire, Cardiff, are to be declared constituent colleges of the university. There are several points in these clauses which will have to receive attention—(1) as to the main object of the university-it must be made perfectly clear on the face of the charter that the university is to be a real teaching university, and not a mere examining body to grant degrees (2) as to the position of the professors of the three university col- leges (3) as to the position of the three university colleges themselves. The narrowing nature of Clause 6 will be obvious to anyone who reads it" The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth the Uni- veisity College of North Wales, at present situate at ei s, Bangor, and the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, at present situate in Cardiff, shall be and are hereby declared constituent colleges of the university." Why the words at present situate should be used in reference to Baneor and Cardiff and not in reference to Aberystwyth College is one of the many hard questions raised by this crude, narrow, and ill-considered scheme. It is of importance that the three university colleges should be a vital part of the new university, and not, as in the case of the Victoria University, a mere loose federation, in which each college is practically indepeadent of the others. The three university colleges, and any other constitu- ent colleges or institutions that may be afterwards admitted, must have power under the charter to be welded into a living university. What is wanted in the charter is wide power, and not disenabling words. On another occasion we shall deal more fully with these questions. What we now seek is to give our readers a correct idea of the draft charter, without nlanino before them its wordv and unnecessary clauses. The university court is to consist of about 90 persons, an unnecessarily large body. Thirteen are to be appointed by the Crown, 26 by county councils, 36 by the authorities of the constituent colleges, and thirteen by the Guild of Graduates. This large body will be further increased as soon as a central boarl for the control of the intermediate schools established under the Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1889 shall be constituted by the Joint Education Committee of Wales. Clauses 10 to 24, inclusive, deal with the method of electing the governors, their term of office, &c., and have no public interest. Clause 25 provides for a chancellor of the university, and clauses 26, 27, and 28 deal with his appointment and tenure of office. The meetings of the court are dealt with in great detail in Clauses 20 to 36, and nothing of importance turns upon them. The battle for a wide and democratic university will gather about Clause 37, which runs as follows :—" The university court shall be empowered, in accordance with its statHes for the time being in force, to admit to the degree of bachelor or master in any one of the following facultie", viz., arts or letters, science, technical or applied science, any person who, after having followed in one of the constituent colleges, during such period as may be arranged between the said court and the constituent colleges, on the recommendation of the senate of the university, a plan of study approved fpr the college and for the degree in question by the said court on the recommendation of the said senate, or an appeal from a college as hereinafter provided, shall have been presented by the said college as having diligently pursued and duly profited by the said plan of study, and as being of good character and conduct, and who, after such examination or examinations as may be pre- scribed by the court in accordance with this act (or charter) and with the statues and regulations of the university, shall have been reported to the court by the examiners as a proper perton to be admitted to the degree in question." This is the important clause, as will be seen from the f&,cts that theology is not a faculty for which a student can proceed to a degree that students who can proceed to degrees are limited to those who have followed a plan of study in one of the constituent colleges and that each college will have power to recommend its own students for degrees to the dummy university coart. This is made clear by subsequent clauses, and it is perfectly obvious that it is not one university, but three universities, that the authorities of the university colleges are seeking to establish. This is brought out by the next clause, which is thus worded It shall be lawful for the court, at the request of a college presenting a candidate for a degree, to regard studies pursued by the said candi- date in any other constituent college or colleges as though they had been pursued during the same period in the college actually presenting provided always that such request be acceded to by the said other college or colleges in which the said studies have been pursued." It does not require much penetration to see that the forgoing clause would tend to drag down and degrade the university colleges by enabling one college to exploit the others by allowing rejected students from one college to obtain the coveted recognition at an- other. The consent would never be withheld in any case. Clauses 39 and 40 give some sort of feeble recogni- tion to what is popularly known as university exten- sion teaching. The idea of three universities is further worked out in Clause 41, which provides that it shall not be required of the court that the plans of study approved by it for a degree shall be the same for all colleger nor that the range of examination of students of all colleges shall be the same, so that due diligence and care be used by the court to maintain an equal standard of attainment ia all cases as a condition for every several degree." If this clause means anything, it means that each college shall be able to inform the university court that its students are worthy of a degree, and that each college will be practicality a university, and may have widely differing plans of study, and greatly differing standards as to the qualification for a degree Clause 42 deals with the terms on which a bachelor shall proceed to the degree of master, and Clauses 43 and 44 deal with the degree of doctor and the granting of honorary degrees. Clause 45 arranges for the institution of a matricula- tion examination, and Clause 46 gives power to award scholarships. Clause 47 arranges for the revocation of degrees of felons. &c. Clause 48 is important, and shows how soon a great principle may become a mere1 matter of course. The clause provides that" It shall not be competent for the court to require acquiesence in or regeneration of any theory, doctiine, or opinion upon any subject whatever on the part of any candidate as a condition of examination or graduation, or to refuse or revoke a degree upon the ground of the candidate's holding or not holding any nuch theory, doctrine, or opinion." Clause 49 and 50 give power to arrange for academic costumes and to pay the travelling and other expenses of those who obey any order of the court. Clause 51 provides for the appointment of examiners, and Clause 52 deals with examinations for degrees, as under All examinations conducted by the university couit as a qualification for a degrea shall be conducted by the external examiners of the university for the subjects concerned jointly with sucn examiners (herein called internal examiners) as the candidate's college shall appoint for the purpose, and no examiner's report shall be received by the court unless both external and internal examiners have concurred in the said report Provided always that the external and internal examiners be appointed in equal proportions." This clause, it will be observed, practically gives into the hands of each college granting of degrees to i s own students, and is a further working out of the idea of three universities. To make success quite sure, Clause 53 provides that Every examination, whether previous or final, of a candidate for the degree of bachelor or master in any faculty shall, in the case of a student of any constituent college, be conducted in tne town in which the said college is situated, if the said college so demand, and undertake to provide, at its own charge, the place and furniture necessary for conducting such examination." The remainder of the clauses, 54 to 94 inclusive, deal with fees, the power to grant diplomas, the power to inspect schools, the appointment and duties of the registrar, the appoint- ment and duties of committee, the duties of the senate of the university, the appointment of a vice-chancellor, the visitation of the colleges by the court, and the establishment and power of the Guild of Graduates, no fewer than fifteen clauses being taken up by this Guild. Net a word is said in the draft charter about the provision of funds for working the university, although some £ 5,000 or £ 6,000 a year will he required, or a capital sum of not less than £ 100,000. We have now placed before our readers the essential features of the proposed Welsh university, as embodied in the draft charter. JV estern Mail.

ALLEGED PICKPOCKETS IN WEST- MINSTER ABBEY REMARKABLE CASE. A strange case of alleged pocket-picking in Westmin- ster Abbey came before Mr Shiel at Westminster Police-court on Monday, the prisoners being an elderly man, well-dressed in clothes of most clerical cut, his respectable appearance being added to by a wide black cravat and Inverness cape, and a little girl of 14, fashionably attired. The man who is described as John Logie, a dealer, aged 59, gave an address in Emmett-street, Lime-house and the girl, who fur- nished her sister's address at Shadwell, stated that her name was Annie Eliza Warren, and that she was of no occupation.—William Gough, a Scotland-yard de- tective, deposed that on Sunday afternoon he saw the two prisoners in company in Westminster Abbey. The two prisoners in company in Westminster Abbey. The man, who wore spectacles, carried an Inverness cape on his arm and[a. silver-mounted umbrella in his hand, looked like a most respectable old gentleman who was leading along an innocent little girl. The child clung to him and glanced up in his face as they pushed arrong the crowd of worshippers thronging the north aisle. There the demeanour of the old man changed. He shifted the umbrella to the hand which supported the coat and working with the girl who adroitly" covered him. he tried to rob ladies. Witness saw him put his hand in four pockets and the two went out of the Abbey and returned by another door. There they were confronted by witness and several others who knew them well, having watched their movements on previous occasions. The male prisoner said, "We have done no harm," and the girl commenced to cry. She also said that the old gentleman was a stranger to her till she met him in the Abbey that afternoon.—Mr Sheil What do you know about them ?—Witness On the 30th of October I saw them together in the Abbey. They pushed against a widow lady, and ahe afterwards reported the loss of her purse. On Sunday, the 6th, the pair were at the Fame business but we lost them then.—Mrs Ruth Hill, widow, of 2, Little College-street, Westminster, said she was robbed of her purse on the 30th in the Abbey. To the best of her belief it was the prisoner who pushed up against her saying. What a beautiful organ What sweet music !"—Detective Lawrence fully corroborated the other officer's evidence as to what took place on Sunday last, and on other days. The prisoners were always together.Mr W. Lawrence Industrial School Boards officer, said he was with the last witness, who was his son, and the officer Gough, on the 30th October, and also on this last occasion. On t.Vio 3nt.li Vip lipard the male nrisoner make the obser- vation about the beautiful organ," and saw him dip his hand into Mrs Hill's pocket. The girl covered his movements. The pair went off together, and wit- ness and the detectives followed them. On the way towards Westminster Bridge the man conversed with the girl, and after looking around produced what was apparently a purse. This he emptied and threw away. The couple got on the steamboat and proceeded to London Bridge, where they had tea together. Wit- ness and the policeman still followed them and saw them go off in a 'bus to the East-end.—Mr Sheil Do you know anything about this girl?—Witness: Her mother admits that she has been living with this man at No. 14, Loder-street, Commercial-road, for three months. He is a single man. and part of the time, at any rate, they were living in one room. I suspect something very bad indeed in this case. The girl has been living with this man ostensibly as his servant, but the whole of the circumstances are highly sus- picious, and ought to be further inquired into.—Mr Sheil Why, her mother must be as bad as she.—Mr Lawrence No doubt about it.—Mr Sh6il remanded the prisoners-the girl to the workhouse.—The man was hissed as he was removed to the cells.

THE LATE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND'S WILL. It is understood that, on the advice of counsel, the Duke of Sutherland has resolved to institute proceed- ings in the English courts for the reduction of the I&te duke's will. By this will the duchess-dowager benefits to an enormous extent. The will, which is dated 4th August, 1892, and is executed in the English form, confirms to the Duchess an annuity of L5,000 over the English estates, and an annuity of 9,4000 over the Scottish estates. Further, the Duke leave3 the Duchess-Dowager a legacy of £100,000, payable with- in twelve months of his death. She also gets a lease of Tittensor Chase, Staffordshire, for 21 years, and an absolute bequest of a large quantify of household furniture, plate, and jewellery, special mention being made of a bequest to her of Landseer's chalk drawing, The Fatal Duel," said to be worth £ 10,000. The Duke also expresses a wish that the Duchess may have the use of the family diamonds during her life. There is also a conveyance to trustees of the interest in all shares and property belonging to him in Florence Colliery, Trentham, and of all shares in certain other collieries, in trust for the duchess in life-rent and the duke's grandson, Eric Chaplain, in fee. There is then a general conveyance to the trustees of the real and personal estate belonging to the duke in trust for the duchess in life- rent, with an absjlute power in her favour for the disposal of fee. A wish is expressed that that power cf disposal may be exercised in favour of the duke's heirs, but the duchess's discretion is not to be fettered by this wish. There is further an absolute conveyance to the duchess of the Sideway estate, near Stoke-upon Trent. A legacy of 912,000 is left to Miss Blair, the duchess's daughter, and certain bequests and annuities are given to servants. By a codicil executed at Dunrobin on the day of his death the duke provides that, in the event of the disentail proceedings then pending in the Scottish court not being brought to a conclusion before his death, a further legacy of E50,000 should be pvii to the duchess. The only bequest in favour of the present duke is a bequest of furniture which may be in, or appropriated for, any mansion house on the English or Scottish estates, and which is not otherwise bequeathed to the duchess.
