the confusion consequent on the outbreak of a fire in the lady's bedroom, and Jordan being taxed with the theft, took umbrage and started to go home to her parents in London. She was, however, arrested at Croydon, having been searched both at Boshall and Croydon, and was charged with stealing some articles of trifling value, which had been found in her room. The

afterwards the jewels were found in a lavatory at Creyalon Station, and she was then rearrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced. She still asserts her innocence, and fiends who are now getting pa petition to the Home Secretary for an inquiry into the case contend that it is unst improbable that the jewels could have reluained so long in such a place without being discovered, and they also call attention to the singlar fact that: soon as they were found the box also was discovered, floating in a cistern as Broad Oak which had previously been searched. It is, of course, too soon yet to form a judgment in the matter, but we should not be greatly surprised to hear that Jordan, like Johnston and Clowes, receives a free pardon" and some money compensation. It is exceedingly unpleasant to reflect that these are but sample cases, as it were, and that in all probability a certain percentage of our convicted felons are in reality innocent men and women, who, nevertheless, have been unable, either from ignorance or lack of pecuniary means, to clear their characters in the satisfaction of the judges and juries before when they were tried. It is a glaring anomaly that in the pettiest again from Come to Court, and carry on the civil cases the disputants may appeal and appeal litigation for years if it so please them, whilst in matters where the reputation, the fiberty, or even the life of the accused is at stake, there is abso- except by way of petition to the Home Secretary: lutely no appeal upon the merits of the ease, appeals to the teen's Hench, the High Court of Justice, or the Court for the consideration of Crown Cases Reserved being confined to legal technicalities, it is high time that this should be set right. Judges and jules are but men, and their decisions are therefore necessarily fallible; and it is the height of absurdity and injustice to close the door against any re-heating of a criminal case as soon as a verdict has been given. The of preventing in some way the astonishing and need of reform is urgent, as is also the necessity deplorable disparity of sentences which now so frequently excites popular indignation.— Graphic

The learned Counsel gave an illustration its re-jury, however, acquitted her; but six weeks the Premises respectively by Public Auc AS for Sale, every description of Gentle spect to a servant about to be engaged by a friend, Knowing the servant to be dishonest, you put your fiend on his guard, the law sanctioning as a privileged communication. So long as such as the matter was contined to yourself, and the mes tive was honest and good, the law overlooked some esaeration in facts. But if we go and tell other people about this to injure the servant, it would not be acting bona fide for the protection of your neighlan. Ifwrexecoded inany degree the occasion, jaivilege fell away, and we were hable for defamatory "bel. Mr. Francis went an to say that we can criticise pctors on the stage and write pamphlets ridiculing them, this being privileged because it was for the public benefit that men who came forward and asked for public nocy in repayment, should be crili- cised. Su long as legitimate criticism was al- hered to, the public senelit created privilege; but if the actor was followed off the stage into private life, or tato his dealings with his Coma- by which he is supported, if his past was levicu back into and his private life raked then privilege would fall away. In these cases i up, newspaper proptictor had na more right to trans- gress the law than others. His duties were self- imposed, and he was under no obligation to publish anything unless he saw it would attract readers and pay. He was a selfconstituted censor of public tals, but had no more rights than other people. Mr. Fraser-Smith-stol charged with having ex- cveiled the lands of legitimate criticists, and gone far beyond reasonable and proper criticism of any actor, and of living done it analiciously and for the public benefit but to give pain and do injury. He was charged with penetrating behind the scenes, behind the privacy that enshrines the actor, going into his past and drag ging him to public view without any necessity to justify him. There were cases in which it might be necessary to dive into the private lives of pub lie individuals. The learned Counsel cited a case in which the ones was concerned. A gang of swinterscame to London and projected a great swindle. The Times set to work and investigated their antecedents, with the result that the scheme was brought to light and fell to the ground. The Time was hell to be justified in publishing | IS THE HUMAN SKULL BECOMING what it was to the interest of the public to know. Mr. Francis, continuing, asked if there was anything in the two articles of 10th and 14th June which it was of-interest to the public to know. One of the questions for the jung to

An edi newspaper was not justified in so acting, ile (the counsel) proposed to show clearly and unmistakeably that the articles were written ned to subserve any public end, but out of pure malice. He would shew other publica- tions of the defendant heth before and after the two libels were published, matter connected with the subject-matterofthe libels, praving he was actuat ed by malice. If only for the public interest, one publication would have been sufficient, but to repeat them was evidence the defendant was actuated by a desire to injure and not for the public benefit. He proposed to shew by evidence that the statement Sutrixiucing the article "Tragic Power" was false -false not perhaps in literal, facts, but in the idea intended to be conveyed. (Mr. Francis read the introduction.) He should shew that the paper wasin Mr. Fraser-Smith's possession some considerable time before he published it, and that he had paid so little attention it that he lost his own copy. On the 7th or 8th Jane he was going about the Colony begging people to let him have a copy of the broadside. When asked if he was going to publish it, he said he was, to shew Herr Bandmann the difference. He would also call attention to the first two articles in the Telegraph in reference to Mr. Bandmann. They were very creditable to the writer, seemed to have been carefully written, and were temperate criti- cisms the performances of "Hamlet" and "Shy by Mr. Bandmann and his troupe; but, while perfectly fair, one was extremely severe on Herr Bandmann for putting such a troupe before the public. Herr Handmann was annoyed, and withdrew the advertiscinent of performances from the Telegraph, the advertisement appear- ing for the last time on the 7th June. On the 8th or oth Mr. Fraser-Smith is found hunting about the Colony for a copy of the broadside, which appeared in the paper on the roth.

The Jewels appear to have been stolen during
