The facts are these, the Attorney General was endeavoring aa he best could, to make out a case of seme kind, but without effect. It was causing considerable delay in Court, at which the patience of the Court was being taxed. The defendant then stated, and volunteered, to cut the matter short, by show- ing that no proper summons had been served, and the defendant sot having appeared, all the proceedings in the Court below failed and were void, and of this Minion was the Court, after consulting the Act; in fact, the Supreme Court had no diseretion in the matter, it was beyond doubt, the Attorney General himself admitting the fatality ef the summons.

And now, as regards the second case, that of the Queen v.. Job Bevan: I imagine that the Recorder can hardly expect te come out of this | case with impunity.

necessitates, on the part of the public men of

Disraeli’s, satisfies very few even of his own frieuds. He has in his last issue “ indicated a scheme of purchase’ which possesses several excellent provisions, some of which we hope yet to see carried inte effect ; but we are not told when this very hopeful scheme was propounded, or why it failed.
