HARD ON LAWYERS. In fact, for a man whose living came from the law, he occasionally gave queer advice. Once he said: 'Never go to law under any circumstances. You had much better lose your money than go to law. As a rule, it only puts money into the pockets of the lawyers the very worst possible form in which money can be spent.'

His witty sayings did not lose anything from the fact that, although he was for forty-two years on the bench, he never lost his accent. To the last he spoke in the broadest Scotch dialect. This is well illustrated by a favourite summing-up for HOUSE at the PEAK, partly mula ho often used. Gentlemen,' ho

Practical to the point of humour, he had an original habit of dealing with men who

refused to pay their tailor on account of the

clothes not fitting them. He used to bundle both the parties round to a tailor near by

He was very severe on the leniency of the bankruptcy laws. Ho objected to an undischarged bankrupt getting off scot free. The method is advocated to bring more ignominy on offenders was that they should be compelled to wear a coat of many colours, all of them glaring, so that tradesinen

In the first class Dione had another vory easy win. The breeze seemed to suit her and she obtained a commanding lead in the first ten minutes.

On reading the articlo in The Investors Review of October, under the above head- ing, one is struck with the amount of vituperation upon the directors of the Bank of England for offering, in order to assist in the rohabilitation of Silver, to do that which the Bank Charter allows, naino- ly, to keep part of the reserve against its note issue in Silver.

This is evidenced by the enormous im- portations of silver into British India since the closing of the mints to free coinage, and the metal still continues to low into that country notwithstanding an import duty of five per cont. Japan no doubt will also be a steady importer of silver, although she has now a gold standard. standard of value, but the industrial po The Government decrees Gold as the pulations of the countries above mentioned require silver, and they will continue to purchase it whether they have to do so as measured by gold or produce.
