Mr Shurp said he had not said what he did to discourage the scheme, on the contrary he was rathor in favour of it. He would now propose that a provisional Committes be formed to go into the matter thoroughly, and the matter could be brought before the public on a future day. He propused that essrs Wilson, Crawford, Kiner, Jorey and ollings be elected as a provisional Commit be and the motion being dely seconded was to the vote and carried unanimously. The meeting then separated.
The Hon, the Acting Attorney General replied that he was extremely obliged to his Lordship for welcoming him in this kind manner, and he hoped he would prove himself deserving of his Lordship's re- marka.

Mr Rusself said he begged, on behalf of the bar here, to say that they were very glad to see Mr Phillippo here in the posi- tion he held, and, no doubt, he would be an acquisition to the Colony, and his pre sence would facilitate the transaction of business in this Court.
Mr Snowdon observed that as his Lordship the Chief Justice had gone fato the case so fully, he would only say that he concurred with him. When the case came before him in the Court below he had held that there was no memo, of contract, and that the requirement of the law bad not been satisfied. When the case came before them now as amended and with the admis. sions on both sides, he was the more of opinion that there was no memo, in writing to satisfy the Statute of Fraude.
The Chief Justice then said that with very great regret, he must dismiss the appeal, and with costs. He must say he did so with very great regret, and with the remark that among commercial men tho taking advantage of the Statute of Frau is did not look like the correct thing.

CAPTAIN BURNABY'S RIDE TO KRIVA BRITISH AND RUSSIAN
INTERESTS IN SOUTHERN ASIA,
The prevailing Impression of the political position of Russia will beat be seen from Captain Burnaby's account of his interview with the Khan of Khiva, and afterwards with the Envoy whom the Khau had sent to the Viceroy of India saking aid against the Russians. The Khan looks only twenty. sight years of age, has a Spanish expression, and a merry twinkle in his eye. After the from Russia, and the relation between firs: question as to the distance of England Eag iehmen and Germans, Captain Burnaby showed him Wyld's map of the countries between England and India,

Captain Burnaby, of Her Majesty's Royal Borse Guards, was at Khartoum, on his way home from so slight an undertaking as paying a visit to Colonel Gordon on the northern edge of the Lake Region of Africa, when his eye fell upon a paragraph in on old newspaper. It was to the effect that the Russian Government had turned back an English officer Major Wood--who had sought to visit Khiva and had ordered that no foreigner be allowed to travel in Russian Asia. Now Khiva had been occupied net long before by Hassia, Khokaud threatening that outbreak which resulted in its annexation, and the American jours- alist, Mr MacGahan, had succeeded in forcing his way on with the expedition

proof of the friendship which existed be- tween England and Russia, and of the interests they had in common, which would eventually lead to the two Empires touching in the Past.
Mr Russell now argued on behalf of the appellante. Elis first point was that there was no necessity for such strong er denes of agreement under section 17 of that statute, as contemplated by seation 4, and that the term "bargain" was different from the term agreement." He then cited several cases in support of this con tention. Referring to the letters, he aub mitted that there was sufficient in them to constitute a memoranduin of agreement; there was the quantity fixed, the price fixed, and the only thing not fired won the time of delivery, which was to be in tan or fifteen days, as the defendants stated in their letter to the plaintiffs. This difference in time, he contended, would not amount to a variauoo which would vitiate the con- tract. The term of ten or fifteen days was the same as "about" so many days, and an agreement to deliver in about so many
