Borill, who is conducting the great Tich borne trial, was present, and the interchange of after dinner complimente Jed the Chief Justice, into a clear, imprudence of a rery, grave kind.” The Lord Mayor, in propching the toast, rather -unwisely “bbserved that the case in which Sir W-Boril war ungaged hornialist on Hlustration of the remark that truth we stranger than fiction, to which Sir W. Bovill replied that "in "the investigation to which allogen had been made the diffulty was to asportain what was truth and what fiction," much tas signifi- cant reply.
