Does he think a poor fellow must fain be a rogue Because, born in Erin, he speaks with a brogue? Celtic ears finds the drawl of the Saxon Swell flat, And a Cockney may chaff at the _patois_ of +Pat+. But which is in fault--is it _really_ so clear?-- The Irishman's tongue, or the Englishman's ear? * * * In a recent case on appeal, +Hammond & Co.+ _v_. +Bussey+, Mr. Justice +Bowen+ was understood (by Our Special Reporter) to say that a judgment relating to coals must be decided by the principles of +Coke+. The Master of the Rolls and Mr. Justice +Fry+ concurred; the latter observing that in winter a coal merchant must always be a +Bussey+ person, though his Lordship admitted that this had nothing to do with the case. The Master of the Rolls and Mr. Justice +Bowen+ at once concurred. * * * * * [illustration-pointer] NOTICE.--Rejected Communications or Contributions, whether MS., Printed Matter, Drawings, or Pictures of any description, will in no case be returned, not even when accompanied by a Stamped and Addressed Envelope, Cover, or Wrapper.
