A SLIGHT CONFUSION OF IDEAS. We (Pall Mall note in the Indian papers jual arrived a singular inehanda (apparently) of the confusion of ideas occasioned by the in- portation of English notione fato Indian jaria- prudence. It seems that at a recent examina. tida for the office of pleader, at Allahınbad, e candidate (native we infer) being xaked to state the law as to the admimiou of dying declara- Lions in evidence, apswored that they were only receivable when made with s prospect of re- cutery. The reason for this legal principle be staled to be that "if the wins knew he we going to die, every motive for speaking the truth would be removed, and there w knowing what ka would say We are sorry to add that the candidate is reported to have beer pleaked. His ingchuity in inventing a norst marim deserved a batter reward, and who can say that it is not quite as tenable 18 the oppäsile neantration, on which our law of evidence proceeds P
