_--AN ODD BARON.
AN ODD BARON. One of the most eccentric of Parisians, the Baron de Joest, has recently died, bequeathing hi" property, worth more than LICO,000, to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. As was to be expected, the baron's relatives in- tend to contest his will, lIÙ the revelations ex- pected to be made during the lawsuit promises to be full of iuterest. The baron lived in a simple luanner, attended only by a female servant, young and good-looking, like the soubrettea one sees on the French stage. He was in the habit of chang- ing his soubrette once or twice a month. On one occasion, after making his coachman get his carriage ready to drive him to the Buis de Boulogne in a blinding snowstorm, he counter- manded the order, and towards 10 o'clock at night repeated it again, going down to the stables to observe how the uniorturate coachman liked his caprices. The Jehu, exasperated beyond measure, fell upon his muster like a maniac, pommelled him without mercy, and flinging him into the carriage, drove him off, nolens volens, to the Bois, bringing him back half dead from the cold at four o'clock next morniug. Next day the baron, summoning his coachman to his presence, gave him a hundred francs, and commended the strength of his arms. The baron belonged to seventeen different humanitarian societies, but showed little proof of benevolence to man or bcist during his lifetime.

-_-".-_" ARRIVAL OF LADY IDDESLEIGH…
ARRIVAL OF LADY IDDESLEIGH IN LONDON. The Central News telegraphsOne constant succession of callers have left cards and messages of sympathy and condolence jifc the late Lord Iddesleigh's town residence to-day. The callers include political men of both parties. It is under- stood that the remains of the deceased Earl will be removed to Devonshire on Saturday for inter- ment, It is thought that a public service will be held in Westminster Abbey previous to the interment in the family vault at Pynes. Mr Bedford, coroner for Westminster, has received no official intimation respecting the death of Lord Iddesleigh, and it is not expected now that an inquest will be ordered, particularly as the deceased statesman's medical advisor will certify as to cause of death. Lady Iddesleigh, accompanied by Lord St. Cyras and the Rev. John Northeote, left the Pynes, Exeter, late last night and travelled by tho night train to Pad- dington, arriving shortly after four o'clock this morning. A carriage was waiting in which they at once drove to St. James's-place, where they were received by Mr and Mrs H. S. Northeote, who remained up all night for the purpose. Lady Iddesleigh appeared sadly pros- trated by hsr bereavement, and walked feebly from the carriage to the house, supported by her sons. I The Poop Widow's Agony. A representative of the Press Association has had had an interview with Dr Mortimer Gran- ville, who said :—I paid two visits to the Countess this morning. When I saw her at nine o'clock I found her in the room where the deceased earl was lying. She had been th 're in deep grief from the moment she arrived from Exeter at live a. in. Her sorrow was extreme, but after some etÏvrt I prevailed upon her to leave the room, and seek some repose and take a little nutriment. Her efforts for repose have not been successful up to the present (one p.m.), and I have just left her. She is bearing up with the greatest fortitude in her terrible trouble, the effect of which upon her I dreaded, especially considering the anguish she must have passed through during her long night journey from Exeter. I can say she is as well in health as could be expected.
I MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE.…
MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE. Messages of condolence were received this morn- from all parts of ?he country at the London re- sidence of the late Earl, and from an early hour continued to be delivered both by hand and by word of mouth. There were a few callers before 11 o'clock, these being chiefly to enquire as to the health of Lady Iddesleigh, and they were informed that her lady- ship was bearing up as well as could be expected under her sad and sudden bereavement. Lord St. Cyres, who succeeds to the titie, is at the house, and the Hon. Henry Northeote, Surveyor- General ot Ordnance, is also in town. Arnong the earliest callers were Lord George Hamilton, Mr Beresford Hope and the Misses Hope, the Dowager Lady Heuniker, Sir Henry and Lady Selwin Ibbetson, Mr and Mrs Henry White, Mr Courtney Ilbert, the Earl and Countess Percy, Lady Dorothy and Miss Nevill, Mr Campbell- Bannerman, Sir Robert Herbert, Lady Treveiyan, Lord Mount EJgcumbe, and Sir Henry Holland. Miss Dartrey also called on behalf of Princess Christian to express the sympathy of her Royal Highness with Lady Iddeslei?h in her bereavement. There was quite a stream of carriages at St James's Palace from seven o'clock onwards, and occasionally groups of the callers were seen gathered in the street approaching the square, in the corner house of which the deceased earl lie, Lord George Hamilton, on calling, met Mr Beresford Hope and Lord Percy, with whom he had a conversa- tion. There were several marks cf mourning. Telegram from the Queen. The Queen telegraphed from Osborne this morning, to inquire how Lady Iddesleigh has borne her grief, and in what state her ladyship was. Lord St. Cyres communicated the doctor's report to her Majesty, who wishes to be kept con- tinually apprised of the condition ot the Couutess.
PRESS TRIBUTES.
PRESS TRIBUTES. The Times says:—Wa cannot affect to ignore the influence of Lord Iddesleigh's death upon the Government. It is a blow to Ministers, who, if compelled to resign the hope of retaining hun as a colleague, were entitled to reckon upon his loyal and generous support. It is also a blow to the Unionist cause, like everything else which from without or from withiu that tends to weaken tho Government, for undoubtedly the rumours of serious friction between Lord Id- desleigh and his late colleagues will obtain increased currency through the gravitation of iuterest towards the absorbing topic of the hour. The truth, however, does not in any d eg tea justify the malevolent guess-work of gossip-mongers. Lord Iddesleigh not only entertained a friendly disposition towards the Government, but though for the present declining Office, expressed the hope, in talking with Sir Jas. Ferguson, that the separation would not be permanent. Moreover, it may be said that Lord Salisbur), in resuming the direct control of Foreign Affairs, was manifestly in the right. We are far from saying that more tact might not have been shown in opening the question of this change to Lord Iddesleigh, who, like the other members of the Cabinet, had in the most public spirited manner placed his office at the disposal of the Prime Minister. But it is now clear that the highest interest of the State demanded the change. We did not at the time disguise our opinion that an error was committed when Lord Iddesleigh was appointed to the Foreign Office. It was an .invidious task to point out that he was 110 longer the man he had been, though the fact was only too apparent to every one personally acquainted with politics. The Slandard says It IS impossible, much as we could wish it, to dismiss from our thoughts the reflection that something more than a trifle of disappointment closed Lord Iddesleigh's fiuftl connection with public affairs, and that he passed away from life when. had he persisted in his determination not to retain office, the painful moment had come for bidding farewell to the political associations in which ho took so absorbing and unselfish an interest. The Daily Telegraph says -There is a sad and touching significance in the fact that his death occurred while he was ou a visit to the Foreign Office, after a hurried journey from Devonshire, which would almost appear to have been undertaken for the purpose of putting an end to all doubts as to his atti- tude. Whether he would ultimately have resumed a seat in the Cabinet must for ever remain a secret. No doubt, bad health continued he would have taken his part in their arduous duties. It is as little open to question that he must havol recognised the exigencies of tue Prl:ire Minister s portion in the transfer to himself of the office which Lord Iddesleigb had held. The Daily Neva says ,-Nothing more clearly proves the profound degradation of Con- servatism than that the earliest step taken in forming Lord Salisbury's ttrst Administration was to drive Sir Stafford Northeote out cf the House of Commons. It is not in human nature toignordalto- gather the painful and distressing circumstances in which Lord Id^sl^, passed the final days of his ) life, and which, in ail human probability, tpstene his er)d. i nose who ara responsible ti:us harrymg a true friend and colleague inoy be -eft to the judgment of thair u u I. JU .cisncsi, and Lord jsoliticsd J opponents may be humbly, not pharisaically, thankful that they had no hand in the work. If any Liberal feels conscious to-day that in the heat of conflict fie ever said a word which would give Sir Stafford Northcote paiu, we have no doubt that he regrets it from the bottom of his heart. No statesman, with one illustrious exception, was regarded with the same personal affection by the public. No party leader, without exception, had so few per- sonal or political enemies. Sir Stafford North- eote, to give him the name by which he will live both in history and in the kindiy memories of thousands, had plenty of courage and much tena- city of purpose. In a Nvorid whole. swag-er nnd bluster slil: maintain their early barbaric sway Sir S taffonl Northeote was naturally underrated but the more people knew of the House of Commons the higher rose their opinion of Sir Stafford. The Birmingham -Posf.says :-Lord Iddesleigh, was not (ins of thoe leaders of men who by tbe force of genius create new policies, change or remodel national institutions mid render inevitable a reconstruction of political parties. But while standing It most in the second rank, he had his peculiar value in the fact that he represented and embodied the best traditions of Euplish politics, and tlo most con spicuous and admirable qualities of the English character and these he brought to bear abso lutely and invariabiy upon his public as well as his private life. The Morning Post observes:—It will ba im- possible for the public generally, whether rightly or wrongly, to avoid connecting his death with the slight, which was put upon him by his virtual removal from the Cabinet, and although ho was known by his medical attendants to be suffering from an affection of the heart, which would oniv too probably have a sudden and fatal termination, still there will be a tendency to conclude thai, the excitement to which he was subjected during the past week precipitated the end. About a week since Lord Iddesleigh had an attack of syncope in Devonshire, but speedily rallied, though there can be 110 doubt that the cardiac affection from which he suffered then seriously threatened his existence. The Daily Chronicle lôay :-His resignation of office had been caused, so it was understood, by the feeling of soreness which he experienced through some misapprehension and he was on his way to have what he probably intended to be his last interview with the Prime Minister when he was seized with the illness which almost immed- iately proved fatal. To the country the sad event has come as a painful shock and universal sym- pathy ivili be evoked to-day through a sense of national loss. Heart-broken The St. James's Gazette (Couservati ve) observes: —It cannot be said with truth that Lord Iddesleigh was murdered. There is nothing here that can be called criminal or blameworthy per- haps, but, none the less, the shock of his humiliation was so great as to surpass ail that the world ever heard of or probably imagined. This we say of personal knowledge, and further say and can never forget, that the word we than heard was heart-broken." Lord Salisbury himself is not to be blamed. The Evening Standard writes :-Few statesmen leave behind them so sincere a feeling of personal esteem and public respect, Throughout nis long career Lord Iddesleigh represented the traditions of the best school of English politics. He w-is invariabiy a gentleman first and a politician afterwards. His weaknesses were in a great measure virtues. His memory will long be honoured by every claf; of his countrymen. The Pall Mall Gazette observes:—Peace be with his ashes. He has served his country to the best of his abihtes aud he has fallen in harness, grieved only that the hour had come for putting it off. His death, while strengthening the .case for Lord Salisbury where it was already so strong as not to stand in need of any defence, has enormously strengthened the case against him on the point in which he was weakest. Lord Iddes- leigh dying as he did has enormously added to the difficulties of the Cabinet. The Evening News says: It is only to be regretted that so excellent a life should end so sadly, and that tho exigencies of the Ministerial arrrangeineuts necessitated a change of portfolio only a few days before his career finished, but he died a'most in harness, and it is not too much to siy that he carries to the grave the affection and respect of the whoie nation. The Freeman's Journal writes :-Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph Churchill must bear between them the giiilt of ha ving at least accelerated the death which so suddenly ends tin difficulty of appeasing Lord Iddesleigh. It removes from the Government every vestige of honour, dignity, and respectability. The Dublin Daily Express says :—He was cut to the heart by an act which even to a mind of less sensitive honour than bis would be most hurtful. It will be long before a calm and reasonable view of the circumstances will ba taken. When reason recovers its hold of the public mind, it will, per- haps, take a different view of Lord Salisbury's action,and acquit him of any blame. United Ireland says:—Lord Iddesleigh's blood be on the head of the ill-rated Ministry. His heart was literally broken by the scurvy treatment he received. Lord Salisbury has managed to kill the most beloved of his old Tory colleagues, and to make an enemy of his ablest young one. The Egyptian skeleton at the Cabinet meetings for the future will be accompanied by the mildly re- proachful hot of poor Lord Iddesleigh, It is a doomed and hauuted Ministry.

AT REST. "— He bore without abuse The grand old name of gentlemau." TENNYSON, Too knightly-tempered for the press Of foray rude and faction-fight, Too high of heart to snatch success 'Midst brawlers reckless of the right; He held his hand, or stood aside III patient calm and silent pride.

He knew not bate's unholy glow, Nor ever struck a felon biovv. A very perfect gentle kuight In fields whence chivalry had tied, He lived in honour's clearest light, He lies with England's noblest dead. Flouted and thrust aside, his life Shamed those who passed him in the strife. Because unselfish, just, serene, His own advantage he forebore Because too mild tor factious spleen, No friend he mocked, no foeman tore. In wrath by victory unassuaged, The baser sort against hun raged. Their ravings cannot reach him now. Who dares dispraise him with the seal Of death's swift touch on that worn brow ?

A Dangerous Anarchist.I
A Dangerous Anarchist. I SENTENCE OF DEATH. Clement Duval, a worthy successor gf his name- sake, Claude Duval, the famous highwayman,was tried yesterday at the Paris Assizes for having committed a, burglary in the house of Madame Madeleine Lemaire, the well-known flower painter. The trial attracted considerable public attention, as the accused is an Anarchist who has impudently asserted his right :to rob, for the purpose of living and to slay for the saka of liberty. The burglar is a weak looking man about 36 years of age, and is a locksmith by trade. In Octobfer last ho and another man, named Turquuis, who has not been found by the police, entered Madame Lemaire's house, which is in the neighbourhood of the Pare Moncead. The owner was in the country at the time. and the burglars had the whole place to themselves. They stole £ 600 worth of jewellery, and after having turned everything in the house upside down they tried to set fire to the place. The smoke was seen by the neighbours, who, on going into the house, found that oil had been thrown over the furniture so as to accelerate the com- bustion. The damage done has been esti- mated at L400. A few days after some of the jewellery was offeted for sale in the Rue Tron- cbet by a man called Didier, who was arrested and gave information which led to the capture of Duval. The burglars belonged to a band of Anarchists called La PantMre des Balignollcs. Duval was only arrested after a tierce struggle with the policeman Rossignol, whom he stabbed in the neck, loins, and arm, but who succeeded in biting the burglar's hand so as to make him drop his knife. Duval said he hated the representatives of the abominable laws of the land, which were directed against the working classes. He insisted that he had committed no crime iu breaking into a dwelling, for he only sought a just restitution of property, which should have been more equally divided, and he threatened the vengeance of all Anarchists on the opulent classes at an early date. Duval cried out, The money we wanted to get was to b'ow you to atoms with, thanks for your partiality, Monsieur le President. Vive I'A;iai-chie Vive la Rivelulion Sociale I" Finding that the violence of the prisoner made it impossible to proceed with the trial, the tribunal ordered his removal. The soldiers on guard executed the order but Duval resisted energetically, and screamed out, Vive VAnarchic I Vive la Ildvolution Sociale I A large number of Anarchists being among the audience, these cries found an echo in court. The tumult which followed was indescribable. The soldiers on duty rushed in among the public, and seizing several of the Anarchists struggled with ;.tbem, trying to push them out of court. During the scuffle the Anarchists shook their lists at the judgo oólnd jury, cried "Vive Duvall Vive la Revolution'Sociale!" and used their fists freely. The jury returned a verdict of "Guilty," and sentence of death was pronounced on him. Didier and Houchard, who were accused of receiving the goods stolen by DuvaJ, were acquitted.

STRANGE CONFESSION OF MURDER. John White, 40, described as an army pensioner, living at a lodging-house in Church-street, Chelsea, was charged at Westminster police- court, yesterdty, before Mr D'Eyncourt, on his own confession, with murdering a woman named Harriet Miller, by throwing her into the Thames.—Inspector Frederick Bicldey, B Division, deposed that last evening the prisoner was brought to the Chelsea (King's-road) police- station by a constable, and made n statement, as follows At a quarter to five today I threw a woman over Westminster Bridge. Her name was Harriet Miller, and she lived in the Westminster Bridge road. I do not know the number. The reason I did so was because she owed me C3 15s, and would not let me have the money. I became acquainted with her on Saturday last, and have been in her company ever since until the time of committing t[iis ict. I have suffered from sunstroke and fits, and have been drinking heavily for the last few days.' -l\Ir D'Eyncourt: Is there such a woman missing ?—The Inspector: Yes. She has not been seen by her companions for some days.— Mr D'Eyncourt: Did the prisoner appear to have been drinking?—The witness: I should not have thought so from his manner, but after his statement I had him examined by DrHaynes.the divisional surgeon, and he said that he was suffer- ing from delusions.—The Prisoner Although I made the confession, I am not really guilty. I Hill sura I am not. I have been drinking heavily, and at times my head is affected. I certainly was in the company of the woman.—Mr D Eyncourt said at any rate it was a case for further inquiry, and remanded the prisoner.

He had a small brown leather bag with him, containing jewellery. While having his dinner he put the bag ou tile counter. The prisoner came and stood beside him and called for a glass of beer. Witness turned round to speak to the bar superintendent, and wheu he turned back again his bag and the prisoner were both gone. Information was at once given to the police, and from inquiries made a house in Setou-strcet, llainps tead- road, was watched, and there, on December 10th, the prisoner was arrested by Sergeant James and Detective Cooper, of the E division. In the kitchen where he was was found a life preserver, a jemmy, and some skeleton key, The pri- soner, referring to these articles, told the officers they had ot him" out of his line this time. "That," pointing to the iustrumeuts, is more iu my line." -Tbe jury convicted the prisoner.— It was stated that ha belonged to a dangerous gang of burglars. He was a, very skilful black- smith, and made all the implements and keys used by the gang. The police had been unable to trace the jewellery, which, it was believed, had been sold tor 220. There were previous convic- tions against the prisoner.—Mr Fletcher sentenced him to five years" penal servitude and three years' subsequent police supervision, and endorsed the commendation of the graud jury as to the conduct I of the police.

--I Mad Magisterial Wopk at!…
M ad Magisterial Wopk at Newport. The borough magistracy of the rising town of Newport are getting a new experience. For a long time the three courts per week, when in petty sessions assembled, have disposed summarily of divers offeuders, and have been found enough even for the growing requirements of the place. Lately offences against the peace of our sovereign lady the Queen, her crown, and dignity," have become sufficiently numerous to justify the holding of additional courts, and at a large meeting of magistrates, held lately, it was decreed that two should be added, one for Saturday afternoons, and the other for the disposal of that bete noir of magistrates—school board cases. The first Saturday afternoon court had a happy issue, and his worship, who may yet be Sir George, became the richer by a pair of white kid gloves, obtained post-haste from that emporium of milli- nery facing the Town-hall, the windows of which still biush periodically with change of season and ladies' fashions. This morning there was appa- rently no need for the expenditure of the regulation three and elaven pence halfpenny. There was a big sheet of over a score of cases, school board and otherwise the magistrates' clerk, foreseeing and far-seeing, had sent out post-cards to the mystical number of seven, notifying the advent of school board court the clerk to the august body who dispense elemeutary education, was in attendance; even the head-constable, always ready to deal fairly in the discharge of his iiiany-Lided duties, to do honour to the occasion, had donned hia official dress tunic the school attendance officers were in the background, note-book in hand, ready to vouch to the laches of in- different parents; but, alas, the one thing needful, in the shape of two occupants of the bench, could not be found. One gentleman came and waited and suggested names of a possible colleague, until his patience was exhausted. Inspectors and other police- officers made urgent whips on J.P.'s, who pre- ferred their cosy counting house, the "desk's dry wood" or the pigeon-holed table, and cawe back with messages the reverse of gratifying to the solitary magistrate who adorned the bench. Poetical justice demanded that as there was virtually nothing done, another pair of white kids should have been produced and presented a strict regard for truth compels the admission that the gentleman referred to went empty away. Clearly, either the people have taken the hint," as Mr Punch would say, and finding big prepara- tion for them, have been shy of committing assault and battery on each other's persons or the magistracy has been led into error or-- any other reason which an ingenious reader can suggest for himself.
-,-A BODY EXHUMED.
A BODY EXHUMED. An inquiry was opened at Willenhall, yester- day, by Mr W. H. Phillips (the borough coroner), touching the death of Emily Hughes, alias Morton, aged ten weeks, whose parents live in Malthouse-lane, Stafford-street.—The child was sister to a young girl who died in October last from strychnine, and concerning whom a Government reward has been offered for the apprehension of any offender who might have administered the poison. The evidence given at the inquest induced the father to ask for an inquiry into the circumstances attending ti.e sudden death in April last of his younger child, and the body has been exhumed with a view to an analysis being made of the contents of the stomach. Evidence was given that death had been certified by Dr Tonks as being due to convulsions.—Mary Taylor, who had attended the mother of the child during her confinement, stated that the child, which was healthy, had not been suckled at the breast, as the mother declared she had no milk. When witness was called to the child shortly after her death she assumed from the appear- ance of the body that death was due to convulsions.—Emily Hughes, stepsister of the deceased, stated that she generally fed the child. The first intimation of the death of the child was when her stepmother called out to her from upstairs, Miliy, the child is dead."— Thomas Hughes, the father of the deceased, deposed that when he left home at dinner time on the day of the death of the child she was quite well.—The inquiry was adjourned until March 1, the date of the adjourned inquest on the other child, and in the meantime an analytical examina- tion of the contents of the stomach was ordered to be made.
.-ACTION AGAINST A BARBER.
ACTION AGAINST A BARBER. At the Tivertou county court, Judge Paterson delivered judgment in the case of Stuckey v. Mitchell, which was heard at the previous court. Defendant, a barber, of Tiverton, had shaved the plaintiff, a rural postman, and the question in the action which came before his Honour was whether he (defendant) was liable in damages for an illness, supposing it to have been caused as alleged, from the soap the defendant used iu the shaving.—His Houour, in giving judgment, rema.rked that although in law a tradesman or artisan was bound to provide proper materials in the execution of the work entrusted to Iiiin, yet in the present case the defendant was not aware that ho was using a deleterous article in fact, he swore, and several witnesses continued his testimony, that he was using the ordinary soap, known as best Mellbery. For this reason His Honour held that the action could not be maintained, even if, as he had assumed, the plaintiff's iflueis-a skin disease known as eczema—was caused by the soap with which he was shaved. In giving judgment for defendant, therefore, he could not but express sympathy with plaintiff in the serious illness and heavy pecuniary lolSs he had sustained thereby, and he had decided to direct that there be a limitation of costs.
-_-.-_.-A PAUPER'S DEATH.
A PAUPER'S DEATH. A painful case has been investigated by Mr Yates, the Cheshire coroner, at Arolid Work- house. On January 3 Mr Broadhurst, the relieving officer at Congleton, sent word to Mr Young, the master of the Arclid Workhouse, asking for a van and rugs to be sent to remove John Beckett, a pauper, to the work- house. It being somewhat inconvenient to des- patch the conveyance that day, the master inquired of Mr Broadhunrt if a little later would suit, and receiving ap affirmative reply he sent the van the next day in charge of Wood and Peake, two paupers. Wood stated that the weather was bitterly cold, and that Beckett was so ill that when placed inside the van lie twice slipped off the seat to the bottom. There be was allowed to lie. As he did not speak witness re- moved the "raps. and when they got to the work- house tbeyfound bewasdead. Medical evidence \vas given to show that the lungs were much congested and the stomach quite empty.—The coroner com- mented warmly on the inhumanity displayed, and the jury having returned a verdict in accord- ance with the medical t«s-timony, the coroner de- clared that he would stud atopy of the Repetitions to the Local Government Board.

ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE. The Round Table Conference, which met this afternoon, assembled at the residence of Sir William Hajcourt, Graf ton-street, London, and not at that of Lord BerEcbell, as had been reported. Owing to the large number of details to be discussed it is not at all likeiy that the pro- ceediogs will conclude in two dap.

Harry Hutchcns, the iamous sprinter, proved victorious in his tirst match iu the Antipodes. It took place at Paramatta, about fourteen miles from Syduey, his opponent being E, March ant. With the exception of one day at Shrewsbury, there had, up to the decision of the Piumpton Meeting this week, been no racing in England since the early days of December. The well-performed New Zealand horse is said to have broken down badly jiust prior to the New Zealand Cup won by Spade Guinea, and it id feared that he will never stand another prepara- tion. The remainder of the entries for the spring handicaps, including the Lincolnshire Handicap Great Northamptonshire Stakes, Chester Cup, Great Metropolitan, City and Subutbau, and Leicestershire Handicap, will appear in to-day's Calendar." G. Lowe, who has done so well witl. Man of War in this country, has been retained by Mr Byas, the new owner of the horse, to ride hiin ia all his races in Ireland. For the first time in England siuce the National Skating Association has been in existence, Fia-h Smart was defeated on Tuesday in a halt-mile mlltch at Lingay Feu, Cambridge. This occurred in the second heat, when, just as lie was winning easily, he fell. Tiie winner of th > event was George See, who beat his brother, Isaac See, in the final. Latest Australian advices state that the well- known cricketer, W. Midwinter, is likely to make yet another trip" to the old country," and spend a season or two in England in his previous capacity of a professional cricketer. Truth states that tbe Hardwicke Stakes and the Champion Stakes are to be Ormonde's only races this year, if, indeed, he runs again; for there is reason to believe that the best has ueen seen of him, and it will probably be found in the spring that he has "gone off," as has been the fate of so many "crack" three year olds. In that case Ormonde will not again be seen on the racecourse, as the Duke of Westminster would not run the risk of having him beaten for any consideration.

The plaintiff tiled an amended statement of claim, setting fortli that Elizabeth Bowles—daughter of Sir William and Elizabeth Bow es-eXecuted a deed of 1. settlement by which she gave valuable estates to her niece I Thomasine that the defendant's predecessor fraudulently cancelled the deed, the existence of wbicti wat, only discovered in 1876. Mr Justice North ordered the plaintiff's state ment of claim to be struck out on the gioaud that it was too vague, and did net ,u;tciently disclose the cause of action. tho lJr?*eut appeal was made. The Lords Justices now held that the plaintiff's action was a mere fishing"action, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
! WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT.
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. Letter from Sir G. Trevelvan. Writing LO a Welsh gentleman recently with regard to the articles upon Neglected Wales." which appeared in the Daily News, Sir George Trevelyan remarks:— was specially interested by the article on the Established Church in Wales. Now that the political disabilities of the county householders have been removed, the grievance of the great body of the Welsh people with regard to Church Disestablishment is the most signal injustice which is still left unre- dressed." The Parliamentary Committee of the Libera- tion Society has issued a circular on Welsh Dis- establishment to the officers of the various Liberal Associations throughout England. It states that Mr Dillwyn's motion was rejected in the last Parliament by only twelve votes, and that since then several circumstances have occured to show the growing strength of the movement in favour of the object at which it aims. At the general election in July last, 26 out of 30 of the Welsh members returned were pledged in its support, the remaining four being Conservatives. Since the election several members of the late Liberal Government have expre.55sd the opinion that the disestablish- ment of the Church in Wales must form an in. dispensable article of Liberal policy. It is also stated that the agitation regardiug tithes in Wales has produced a great conviction that the injustice inflicted by the present tithe system cannot be put an end to by anything short of the appli- cation of the tithes to non-ecclesias- ticyl purposes, which will benefit the entire population of the Principality; and such a change cannot be effected except in connection with disestablishment aud disendowment. Under these circumstances it is hoped that English Liberals will co-operate with those of Wales in securing support for Mr Dillwyn's motion. They are reminded that it was the help of English, Welsh, aud Scotch Liberals which enabled the Irish people to throw off the yoke of an alien Church Establishment, and it is by such a com- bination that the people of Wales must secure a similar measure of justice. The various Liberal clubs and associations are accordingly urged to take early action in the matter.
