One of the most romantic and

These changes full general expectation, and are in accordance with what I wrote on the subject some months ago: The Primate's resignation has called forth a wonderful demonstration of respect and esteem, and even affer tion. In the last few days tributes have been paid to him by dis tinguished people in different walks of life in the course of their public speeches. This spontaneous expres. sion has not been confined to the Church of England. Nonconformists in England, Presbyterians in Scot land, and Jews, and many others not particularly identified with re- ligious life have offered their res pectful homage.

What can be, truly. said of Dr. Randall Davidson is that he has always proved himself a statesman with the qualities of leadership that few men possess And he never displayed these qualities more notably than after the rejection of the revised 'Prayer Book...

Costly Jewels.

The maharajah and his suite came to England especially for the hearing of the appeal, and mem- bers of the party, picturesquely dressed and wearing costly jewels, have been present at the pittings.

The atmosphere was' сде пот usually to be found in the austere boardroom where the sittings were held. The twenty counsel engaged in the case and the other parties made it necessary to enlarge the room by removing the book shelves which normally line the walls.

The appeal concerned three pro- perties, 15.000 acres of land in Burma, and a house and elaborate garden in Dumraon, Burma The maharajah's opponents were Rai. Bahadur Harihar Prasad Singh and Babu Chandradeo. Prakhash Singh. They were represented by eleven counsel, the maharajah by nine.

Fifty thousand pounds are be lieved to have been spent on the law costa. Two leading counsel Mr. Leslie de Gruyther. K. C., for the maharajah, and Mr. Upjohn, IC.. for the opponents were briefed for £3,600 with 100 guineas a day refreshers. Other counsel received proportionate fees.

On his retirement he will live in London in an old house in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, which he recently bought,
