on the old, old charge. The doctor was allowed out yesterday on his personal recognisance in the sum of $10, but alas, within one hour and three quarters of his liberation, he was again rur in, having been found lying helplessly drunk in Queen's Road Central; the Sikh who collared the doctor having to get a chair to convey his person to the Central Station. On undergoing an examination in the charge room, a small black vessel, less than a quart, filled with rum, was found on the doctor, who had evidently stowed away some consolation for the lone watches of the night. Brown was relegated to gaut for a fortnight, being unable to ante up the $5 fine imposed,

SAYS the Referee-Another trifling matter which may be noticed here-ane which thrusts itself under our notice while we are casually looking around-is the extraordinary crop of libel cases which the last few months have pro- duted. Perhaps never before were our law, cours so encumbered with the complaints of self conscious folk who fancy that all the world is aghast at what some one or other has said about them. Anybody can have law in this country if he can afford to pay for it; in ninety nine libel cases out of every hundred both plaintiff and defendant find that they have had to pay for it, and very expensively. When a man wins a libel case he feels very much as, at the outset, he thought he would 'feel if he lost it. What the loser feels like' is beyond expression. Without going into this too deeply, we may point out that, the law courts being blocked with squabbles of the paltriest and petticat description, which none but the scandalmonger and the garbage-hunter care anything about, the law in other and far more important directions is nc- cessarily at a standstill. Libel suits are perhaps. the most profitable suits known to the lawyers, They generally succeed in reducing both sides to one dead level; but the majesty of our courts is in no way increased by them. During the past week or two what space could be afforded to law reports in the daily papers has been al most entirely absorbed by libel cases. One of
these stands out from the rest. The Belt case, which is likely in future years to be regarded as a very Orion among libels, is perhaps one of the sort we must always expect, no matter whether the epidemic continues or passes over. This is no action-as is too often the case with libel actions brought by some mean and paltry pigny, flaunting hitascif in false colours, who had to admit that what was said about him was in the
|
the battle-it may have been, the battle of life, of the conflict of arms-proved then cowards. Mr. Hobhouse, Lord Byron's friend, tells the story of the man who bore both the mien and the reputation of a coward, and yet when severely tried came out a hero. This hero-coward was their servant, a Greek, named Demetrius · So excessive was his timidity, that he would run from a barking dog and cry like a baby. Byron, who had much sentiment, but little genuine com passion, once showed his heartlessness by mount ing the poor fellow on a spirited horse.. When the animal, in obedience to a smart touch of Byron's whip, dashed off in a mad gallop, the two friends roared with laughter on seeing their frightened servant grasp the mane of the horse with both hands and scream with terror.
Several years after this heartless episode the Greek revolution broke out. It proved Deme- trius opportunity. He led the furloin hope in the assault of June 22, 1862, which snatched Athens for a season from the Turks, and proved the man a very marvel of bravery. The trial stripped from him his physical timidity, and made for him a name in the hearts of his people, and on the record of their history. The spark of heroism was there all the while. But it needed the flint and steel of the revolution to bring it forth.

"You are pale, sir! You are frightened, sir!" said one officer to another, who stood for the first time under fire,
"I know it, and if you were half as much frightened as I am, you would run away?
The man's moral courage conquered his phy sical timidity, and forced him to stand where it was his duty to stand, though it could not control
the action of his heart..

Too often libel cases are decided upon technical points. rather than upon bare merits. In the Belt cata all this is altered. The libel was of the most dainaging character conceivable, and was partic. ular to exactness in its details. There was none of the innuendo about it so usual in libels: and it, if left unnoticed by him, would have ruined for ever the reputation of a gentleman who has within the past few years taken his place in the front rank of English sculptors. What it will do now must be left to conjecture.
