At the Convocation this evening, the Governor presided.

He pointed gut local instances of extremely modest men, who had achieved great success, and advised caution and modera- tion in the conduct of the press. He urged lawyers to remember their duty to witnesses, whichy did not allow them to expose the secrets of private life in cross examination. Social reform should come from within, and female

THE "NORDENFELDT"
When New South Wales took over the administration of a savage, blood-stained code, few of her citizens knew civic rights or civic duties. They had witnessed government by court martial from their early days. The garrison in their eyes; was the lount of justice. The colony was 35 years old before trial by jury was thought of. A man charged with crime was hauled before a judge and three or four red-coats, called assessors, sat upon him, The lash was the Alpha and the gallows the Omega of this tribunal. Even when trial by jury was set up, the alphabet remained the same. Jurors were used to seeing daily flaying and hanging. "The laws of England were growing milder; in France the guillotine had been condemned, and was steadily passing out of use; Belgium had taken. down her scaffold and was building peniten- tiaries; Ohio and Massachusetts were throwing away their ropes; all the civilised world was coming to see that the-life-of-man, however degraded, was not arthat of the brute, but Aus train was so far away and euch seas of moral scum lay around her shores, that the wave of reform did not reach her; and her jurors, many of whom were themselves flayed, and her judges who had been actually brought up sitting at the foot of the gallows, and several of whom find geen their relatives on the triangles, gave the subject of reform no thought. Hence the colony went on, in the good old way of its forefathers, and
