BRITAIN'S PREMIERS.

MR. BIGHAM'S BRILLIANT. SKETCHES,

Brilliant sketches of early English history as moulded by the King's principal Minister in each reign make Mr. Clive Bigham's new book, "The Chief Ministers of England, 920-1720" (Murray, 21s), no less attractive than his companion, volume, "The Prime Ministers of Britain, 1721-1921," which was published last year. In the two volumes Mr. Bigham spans 1,000 years--St. Dunstan to Mr. Lloyd George.

Dunstan's début at the Court of King Athelstan was unfortunate. It was rumoured that he practised black magic. The King looked askance at the "handsome young sorcerer," and Dunstan thought it best to leave the Court.

He was followed, bound hand and foot, and flung into a muddy pand-perhaps to see if he would sink orswim. Some dogs, it is said, rescued him.

J

But he lived to become first abbot of his native monastery of Glastonbury, Archbishop of Čan- terbury, and "first national Minis- ter of England."

He had lived under eight Kings, served seven, and crowned three. Twice he had been banished, once driven into exile, often le had been .near death.

EPOCH IN OUR LANGUAGE. The Chief Ministership of -William of Wykeham marks an epoch in our language because in 1362, under Richard 11.,and yearly 300 years after the Norman Con- quest,

the vernacular was ordered to be used in the courts of law "because the French tongue is much unknown, land in the following year Wykeham," the Chancellor, first employed it in reading the King's Speech' The year 1471 marked another turning point.

It saw the introduction into England of small arms, which were to revolutionise the art of war; it saw the birth of Wolsey who was to start destroying the mediaeval Church,

F

In the short reign of Anne the Sovereign "last refused her assent to Bill of the Legislature, she last cocrced the Upper House by a creation of Peers, she last presided over a meeting of a Cabinet." In the samė reign the "first of English Premiers," Sir Robert Walpole, started his political career.

+

RISE OF PARTY RULE. Walpole's predecessor and the last of the "Chief Ministers," Harley-famous as a collector of ancient manuscripts and a patron of authors--"started a new form of political attack an organised campaign against his opponent by means of the Press," in which he enlisted such unflinching pens as those of Swift and Defoc.

Swift has written the story of Harley's dismissal: "The Queen," he writes on July 27, 1714, has told all the Lords the reasons of her parting with him, viz., that he neglected all business; that he was seldom to be understood; that when he did explain himself she could not depend upon the truth of what ho said; that he never came to her at the time appointed; that he often came drunk; and lastly, to crown all, that he behaved him. self to her with bad manners, in decency, and disrespect.A The passing of Harley and Queen Aare and the coming of George L and Sir Róbert Walpole "mark the transition from Minis esterial to party Government, from the idea of rule by the Sovereign to that of rule by Parliament."

They realized that the school premises were not what they should be: they did not even belong to them. In view of this, the Committee was doing their best to find suitable accommoda- tion for the school. Now that the Old Boys' Association had been formed, the prospects of the school were much brighter. The Associa tion could render valuable assist ance to the Committee in solving this problem (Applause.)

RICH OLD MAN.

COULD NEITHER READ

NOR WRITE...

Mr. William Bracey, farmer and fruit grower, propounded a will dated March 17, 1917, made by his father, Mr. William Bracoy; farmer and speculative builder, late of Hall Farm, Scratby, Norfolk, who died, aged 75. on February 23, 1977, loave ing between £20,000 and £25,000,

Under that document Mr. Bracey was an executor and one of the resi duary legatees. The defendants, Mr. Charles Reuben Mould, Miss Charlotte Mabel Rouso, - and, her father, Mr. Samuel Rouse, set up a series of wills ranging from June 1921 to February 14, 1922.

The case of the defence was opened first by Sir Ellis Hume) Williams, KC, who, mentioned that the dead man could not read or write. When he died he owned a great deal of house, property in Great Yarmouth and other places He had lived apart In Norfolk, from his wife, by whom he had four children, for about 40, years, during which the couple never met. He lived with Miss Rouse, by whom he had two children, from 1908 until he died. At one time he wished to marry her, and caused inquiries to be made as to a divorce, but learned that he could only get. a divorce if the judge exercised his discretion in his favour.

In 1910 Mr. Mould became clerk to the late Mr. Bracey and he and Miss Rouse did most of the old man's writing, because he could only just sign his name.

From about 1911 an estrangement arose between father and son, and he had made in 1917, and wished to destroy it. He asked both Mr. Mould and Miss Rouse to put it on the fire. They refused and he put it on the fire himself, holding it in the dames until it was consumed.
