It may possibly be said that this new arrangement will save the pockets of the clients, but what have the Judges to do with that? Does anyone imagine litigation to be anything more than a pastime, at which those who play ought to be content to pay? In a hard winter, when the wolf is consistently at our door, to take the bread out of our mouths in this way, is a proceeding which (_pace_ Mr. GLADSTONE) takes the cake. I am sure Mr. GOSCHEN will welcome such an expression. In any case I appeal, Sir, through you, from the Judges to an enlightened paying public. Yours faithfully, L. ERNED COUNSEL. 102, _Temple Gardens, E.C.,_ _Dec. 6._ * * * * * CAUSE AND EFFECT.--A razor and a _tabula rasa_. * * * * * JOHN TYNDALL. BORN AUG. 21, 1820. DIED DEC. 4, 1893. HONEST JOHN TYNDALL, then, has played his part! Scientist brain, and patriotic heart Both still in the last sleep, that sadly came, Without reproach to love, or loss to fame. Rest, Son of Science, certain of your meed! Of bitter moan for you there is small need; But England bows in silent sympathy With her whose love, chance-wounded, all may see Steadfast in suffering undeserved as sore. _Punch_ speaks for all true hearts the kingdom o'er When mingling tribute to JOHN TYNDALL'S life With hushed compassion for his bowed but blameless wife * * * * * A FEMININE TRIUMPH.--SHEE, Q.C., appointed Judge of the Court of Record at Salford. Naturally SHEE likes being courted. Pity it wasn't in Wales, as then they would Welshly-and-grammatically speak of "appearing before SHEE" as "appearing before _Her_." This is clearly an example of the "_SHEE who must be obeyed_." * * * * * Murch Praised! ["Mr. JEROME MURCH, seven times Mayor of Bath, &c., and for thirty years chairman of, &c., has just published a volume, entitled _Bath Celebrities_."] _Go to Bath, viâ_ book upon lap;-- No Bath bungler is here, but a rare man. You are certain to like this Bath chap; And there never was such a Bath chairman. * * * * * UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.--The Oxford undergraduate who was caught red-(paint)-handed, and sent down for a year, forgot, no doubt, that _he_ had to be well read, not the town; but a year in the country will no doubt make him as fresh as the paint itself. Curiously enough, very popular still in his College, which shows no inclination to cut the painter! * * * * * "SOMETHING LIKE A HUNTING RUN."--In the _Pall Mall_ last Thursday was the account of a grand run with "the Barlow Hounds." Of course _Sandford_ and _Merton_ were on ponies, and out with "their beloved tutor's" pack. Mr. BARLOW, of course, is both "Master" and "Whipper-in." * * * * * THE TOPER'S TOAST.--"_Pot_-luck!"
