LORD CURZON'S LAST APPEAL.
MIST OF TEARS" OVER A VICEROY'S THRONE:
THE PRICE OF POMP
GOLF BOOK PROFITS. MR ANDREW KIRKALDY'S LEGAL ACTION.
An action was heard in the Chancery. Division before Mr Justice "Astbury on May 1st, in which the plaintiff was Mr. Andrew Kirkaldy, professional goller of Most of the two big volumes of St. Andrews, against Mr. Clyde Foster, Lord Curton's British Government in journalist, The Beach, Thorpe Bay, over India," the book which, after twenty- the profits of a book entitled Fifty Years Ave years of labour, he had completed of Golf Aly Memories, by Andrew just before his death, is a closely-packed Kirkcaldy." and impersonal record of the doings of successive Viceroys and of the houses they bave lived in.
In the last few pages, however, he makes a moving appeal to the people of this country to try to understand more fully the hardships and difficulties of a Viceroy's life. It is from this appent that we quote the following passages:
"I have endeavoured to depict the Governors-General and the Viceroys as they were. But I have sought to do more: I have endeavoured to show that the story is one not merely of service or of splendour, but of self-sacrifice and dven suffering, not merely of honour and recognition, but sometimes of flagrant in gratitude and stark injustice.
I use these words not in any spirit of reproach, but because I think it is only right that my countrymmen at home should know, the conditions in which their principal servants abroad have frequently been called upon to act, and should make soms endeavour to realise the sentiments of the outwardly applaud ed but as often secretly harassed or over ridden wan on the spot.
A STORMY STORY.
Mr. Archer, K.C. (for Me. Kirkalds) said the action was for a partnership ne count of money received by Mr. Fester from the publishers-T. Fisher Lawin-- of book written by Mr. Foster frem information given him by Mr. Kirkaldy, the copyright in which was their joint property. Mr. Kirkaldy was a Scotsman and his Scottish daughter thought there should be an agreement. It stated that the profit after publication should be divided. Mr. Kirkaldy did not know that when the agreement was signed afr.. Foster had already got £130 front the publishers in advance, Mr. Foster wanted to say that there were no profits after publication. He also said he had inourred £191 expenses.
Jr, Justice Astbury: Ia Mr. Kirkaldy not here?
Mr. Archer: No, he is very old and ill. Mr. Justice Asthary: 31r. Kirkaldy is a Scotsman and it is extremely unlikely that a Scotsman knowing that £130 hal been received on account of profits should agres that it should not be brought into account.
Irian facie that is almost in- credible, (Laughter.)
Mr. Clyde. Foster denied that it was ar ranged that there should be no deductions for expenses. He travelled first class to Scotland.
Mr. Justice Astbury: Kirkaldy says he saw you get out of a third-class carriage i
It is not true."
What are entertainment expenses !-- That means going about from place to place getting information.
Or the Governors or Governors General or Viceroys whose story I have told, wo have seen that Clive was driven by the persecution that he endured, after his return to England, to take his own life; that Warren Hastings was recalled and netually displaced when in India.

Do you think and was driven repeatedly to insist on resiguation, while after his return to is would be true to say that you spent England he was the victim of an im-anything like £-I know I had nothing peachment that is one of the crimes of of the '£100 left when I came away
Mr. Justice Astbury ordered that a part history that Wellesley was openly cen- sured and recalled and narrowly escaped nership account be taken of the profits Dh similar fate; that the Erst Lord Minto profits and receipts from the book and was overthrown by a gross political of expenses reasonably incurred by 3r. mancare; that Lord Hastings was Foster, Mr. Kirkaldy's costs would be severely censured after his retirement: costs in the action, and he deprived Mr. that Amberst only escaped the ignominy Foster of costs: of dismissal by a timely resignation; that similar Auckland resigned to avoid a fate following upon a change of Ministry in England that Ellenborough was re- called in disgrace; that Northbrook re- fired because of a disagreement with the Home Government; that Lytton did the same as the result of a General Election; that a subsequent Viceroy, though in his second term of office, was driven to a similar step because he and his entire council were overruled by the British Cabinet on a fundamental principle of Indian administration, in which he was subsequently declared by a public inquiry to have been in the right.
