In anticipating a auccessful career for the New Company, it is only necessary to pre-
sent to the public the results of the Old Company since its establishment in May 1866, as exbibited by the following figures:--
The total premiuma collected
'from the 11th May 1806 to the present time, a period of only two years and five months, amount to
The losses which have been
paid within the same period

..$160,000.00
These figures fully warrant the most sanguine expectations of success, and it is but resonable to expect that, strengthened with larger Capital, the present undertaking cannot fail to prove at least as successful as the former one. The Old Company, when it entered the field, had to create a business for itself, but the New one, in taking over the outstanding risks and cou- nections of the Old Company, will at once ropive a very large amount of premium,
and enter on a profitable and organised business.
Moreover, there is no doubt that the risk of Fire in Longkong has been

This decision overrules the celebrated opinion of Mr Justice Littledale in Stockdals v. Hansard, and considering that the House in theory forbids the presence of reporters, is (saye. the Spectator) regarded by some lawyersas rather a strong speciruen of judge-made law The Lord Chief Justice, however, in delivering judgment, laid great stress on the necessity of interpreting laws in accordance with the civilization of the age, and of preserving that adaptability to circumstances which is the credit of the English Common Law. This is all wise, provided the judge is a man who knows how to distinguish between a real change in the temper of the times, and a mere surge of popular feeling. All

| judges do noj ; nor, we may add, do all acting attorney generala. The decision basa epecial interest for us personally, and it is not unimportant to the public, for less than thirty years ago the English Judge above referred to decided adverse- ly to their interests. He said, "As to the general information to be given to the public of all that is going on in Parliament, I cannot conceive upon what ground that can be necessary." The opinion of another judge was equally.. strong on the same side. The present Lord Chief Justice, speaking with the full concurrence of his brethren Lush, Hanner, and Hayes, now says,
The main question for our decision is whether a faithful report in a public news. paper of a debato in either bease of parlia ment, containing matter disparaging to the character of an individual, as having been polion in the course of the debate, is actionable it tho suit of the party whose. charactor has been called in question. We are of opinion that it is not.
This is such a vast stride in the free- dom of the press and of liberty of free criticism, that it will be interesting to peruse outline of the judgment by which it is assured.
