POOR Mr. BRIERLEY is now comfortably 1020 provided for at the Hanwell Asylum. Immediately on his committal for contempt by Mr. Serjeant Cox, the deputy assistant judge, the regular steps were taken to procure his safe 323 custody, under the provisions of the Lunatic Act, which enacts that if any prisoner in custody on any conviction, &c., or for any other than civil process," be considered to be insane, two 324 justices shall call to their aid two medical men, and if satisfied that such prisoner is insane, shall 325 certify the same to the Secretary of State, who shall thereupon order that he be sent to such asylum as he may name. In this instance the directions of the statute were strictly observed; two doctors certified to Mr. Brierley's insanity, and the certificate of the justices was sent to the Home Office. There an obstable presented itself. The Home Secretary doubted whether a prisoner in contempt was within the act, in spite of the 328 very plain words, "any other than civil process," and refused to make the order. Thereupon Mr. 328 Serjeant Cox had no option but to order his 325 discharge, and mischief might have come of it but for the promptitude of the parish authorities, who performed the duty which the Home 329 Office should have done. On receipt of the order of discharge from the Judge, the governor of the gaol was bound to deliver him as a lunatic to some person who would take charge of him. 330 No friend offered to do this, and, as a matter of course, he was taken to the union. There he 331 was placed in the ward devoted to insane inmates 332 until a place could be found for him at one of the county asylums. These are all full to repletion, and the poor old gentleman might have continued for a long time in the ward to which, of necessity, he had been consigned, but for the generous exertions of Sir ALEXANDER SPEARMAN, who, as one of the visiting justices of the Hanwell Asylum, secured for him a place in that establishment, where he will have all the comforts, and even luxuries, which his case requires. It was to bring about this end that the resolute course was adopted by the Judge at the sessions, and it is only to be regretted that the same firmness had not been exercised towards him long before, as his lunacy has been unquestionable for some three years past.

CHARGES FOR ADVERTISEMENTS. Four lines or thirty words... Every additional ten words Advertisements specially ordered for the first page are charged one-fourth more than the above scale.

Advertisements must reach the office not later than

five o'clock on Thursday afternoon.

means of attaining the purposes of the law would be to make the fact that the prisoner is a professional criminal the subject of a distinct charge, to be tried after conviction for the particular crime, precisely as if it had been a distinct accusation, admitting the prisoner as a witness to show, if he can, that he has pursued some honest calling, and the jury to find, as a substantive charge, if he is or is not a professional criminal; and, if found so to be, the sentence to be extended to a very long term of penal servitude.

The Act is very short, but it is very stringent. It gives power to the police to apprehend without warrant any convict having a ticket-ofleave whom they may have reason to believe to be getting a livelihood by dishonest means, and to bring him before justices; and if it shall appear to them that there is just ground for such belief, his licence is to be forfeited, and he is to be committed to serve out the remainder of his term of penal servitude.

A register is to be kept in London of all persons convicted of crime in England; and, to make it complete, all gaolers and chief officers of police throughout the kingdom are to make such returns as shall from time to time be required, and supply evidence of identity.

The third part of the Act is devoted to Habitual Criminals.

described in the schedule to the Act, that is to On a third conviction for any of the offences uttering or counterfeiting base coin, obtaining say, any felony not punishable with death, also by false pretences, conspiracy to defraud, or misdemeanor under sect. 58, of 24 & 25 Vict. c. 96, the convict shall, in addition to his punishment, unless otherwise declared by the court, be subject to the supervision of the police for seven years, or such less time as the court shall direct, exclusive of the time during which he is undergoing his punishment.

And the effect of being under the supervision of the police is thus defined:

summary conviction with imprisonment for not He is to be guilty of an offence punishable on more than one year, if

1st. On being charged by a police officer with getting his livelihood by dishonest means, he fails to make it appear that he is not so living;

under such circumstances as to satisfy the 2nd. If found by any police officer in any place magistrate that he was about to commit or aid in the commission of a crime, or waiting an opportunity to aid in such commission;

3rd. If found by any person in or upon any dwelling-house, or any building, yard, or premises, shop, warehouse, or other place of business, garden, orchard, pleasure ground, or nursery ground, without being able satisfactorily to account for being found there.

this section (8) may be taken into custody by And persons charged with an offence under any police officer without warrant, or under the third offence above defined may be taken into custody by the owner or occupier of the premises, or by any of his servants.

The 4th sect. of the Vagrant Act, which subjects any suspected person or reputed thief frequenting any street, highway, &c., with intent to commit a felony, to arrest and connullified by difficulties as to proof of the intent viction as a rogue and a vagabond, has been to commit a felony. To remedy this, it is now enacted that, in proving such intent, it shall not be necessary to show that the person suspected was guilty of any particular act tending to show his purpose or intent, and he may be convicted if, from the circumstances of the case and from his known character, it appears to the magistrate that his intent was to commit a felony.

Every person keeping a lodging-house, beer house, public-house, or place of public entertainment or resort, who knowingly harbours

thieves or reputed thieves, or knowingly permits them to meet or assemble there, or allows the deposit of goods therein, having reasonable cause to believe them to be stolen, is to be liable to a penalty not exceeding 10., and may also be required to enter into recognisances to keep the peace for twelve months. But no person is to be imprisoned for more than three months for not finding sureties. Nor is the security required to be for more than 20. His licence is to be forfeited on a first conviction, and on a second conviction he is to be disqualified for two years from receiving such a licence. Moreover, where two convictions have taken place within two years in respect of the same premises, whether the persons convicted were the same or not, the magistrate may direct that no licence be granted for such house for a time not exceeding one year. The fourth part of the Act deals with the receivers of stolen goods.

It enacts that where any person previously convicted of any of the above described offences involving fraud and dishonesty is found in possession of stolen goods, evidence of such previous conviction shall be admissible as evidence of guilty knowledge, and in any proceedings proof may be given of his previous conviction before the evidence of the offence; but seven days' notice is to be given to the prisoner that such proof will be produced, and that he will be so presumed to have guilty knowledge, unless he proves the contrary.

And evidence may be given also that other goods stolen within twelve months were received by him for the purpose of proving guilty knowledge.

Any police officer, authorised by a chief officer of police, may enter any premises in search of stolen goods, and seize any property he may believe to have been stolen, as if he had a search warrant. Wherever any property is seized, the person on whose premises it is, unless previously charged with receiving, is to be summoned within three days before a justice to account for the possession of such property, and the justice shall make such order as to the disposal of the property as he may think fit.

The chief officer of police may authorise such search.

First, when the premises are, or within eighteen months have been, in the occupation of a person who has been convicted of receiving stolen property or of harbouring thieves.

Secondly, when the premises are at the time of search in the occupation of a person who has been convicted of any offence involving fraud or dishonesty, and punishable by penal servitude or imprisonment.

And it is not to be necessary to specify any particular property, but such authority may be given if there is reason to believe generally that such premises are being made the receptacle for stolen goods.

Part 5 empowers magistrates to punish with imprisonment for not exceeding six months an assault on any police or peace officer.

Sect. 13 gives to magistrates power to remand for offences under the Act.

The provisions of the Industrial Schools Act 1861 are to apply to all children under fourteen of women convicted for the second time when such children are under her care and control, and have no visible means of subsistence.

Any dealer in old metals, as defined in the Old Metal Dealers Act 1861, who shall personally, or by any servant or agent, purchase or bargain for lead, whether new or old, in any quantity at one time of less weight than one hundredweight, or copper in any quantity of less weight than 56lbs., is to be liable to a penalty of 51. This Act is to be cited as "The Habitual Criminals Act 1869." It came into operation the 9th Aug.

REPRESENTATION OF WORKING MEN. THE working men are vigorously prosecuting their laudable endeavours to be represented in Parliament by men of their own class. It is impossible that their wants and views can be rightly advocated by men of another class, who use them merely to subserve the purposes of their own ambition. But whence arises the difficulty in accomplishing their object? The working men are an overwhelming majority of the electors in all the metropolitan boroughs and in the great manufacturing towns, whose representation, therefore, is in their own hands, and they can return whom they please. At the next

election they might easily secure thirty seats. | bishop, and thereupon all rights of ownership are And they ought to do so. Why should Sheffield, to cease, and the pews are to be subject to the Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, for instance, same law as ancient pews. where three-fourths of the electors are working men, be represented by baronets, manufacturers, and merchants? Gentlemen of this class might surely look for seats elsewhere, instead of occupying the places that properly belong to the working men who compose those constituencies.

The appearance of thirty or forty intelligent mechanics in the House of Commons would be cordially welcomed by both sides. They would certainly be heard with respect on the many subjects on which they are peculiarly qualified to assist the work of legislation. The movement will have the cordial good wishes of all who prefer patriotism to party.

It has been stated that the main obstacle to the return of working men is the provision of a maintenance while performing their senatorial duties. A very small monthly subscription by their fellow workmen would supply their modest needs. But Sir C. Dilke has suggested a plan that well deserves consideration. It is that they shall be treated as are retiring ministers. On application to the Treasury, with an affidavit that they have not independent means of support, they shall be allowed a limited pension so long as they hold their seats. This would effect the object without subjecting the applicants to any humiliation.

THE NEW LAWS OF THE SESSION. XVIII.-LAW OF EVIDENCE.

(32 & 33 Vict. c. 68.)

THE Act further extends the principle of admitting all kinds of witnesses, in the assumption that the court can better discover the truth by hearing what all persons have to say, than by excluding certain persons because of their interest in falsehood.

The parties in all cases in which adultery is the fact in issue are now admissible, so that husband, wife, and co-respondent can be examined. So also the parties in actions for breach of promise of marriage are admissible.

Any person objecting to take an oath, or objected to as incompetent to take an oath, shall, if the judge is satisfied that the taking of such oath will have no binding effect on his conscience, make the following declaration :

truth."

"I solemnly promise and declare that the evidence given by me to the court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the And to make a false statement is to subject the party to the penalties of perjury. It is to be cited as "The Evidence Further Amendment Act, 1869."

XIX.-VOLunteers. (32 & 33 Vict. c. 81.) This is an Act to amend the Volunteer Act.

It enacts that if any person, after demand, refuses to give up any arms, clothing, &c., the property of the public, or of any volunteer corps, or administrative regiment, issued to him as an officer or volunteer, any justice may, on reasonable grounds shown, issue a search warrant to a person named therein, who may search and seize such property, and the same penalty for detention may be inflicted as if no such seizure had been made.

The Act prescribes the manner in which the demand shall be made.

The 29th section of the Volunteer Act, as to wrongfully buying or selling of volunteer property, is extended to the pawning or receiving in pawn of such property.

The commanding officer may appear in any county or magistrate's court by any member of the staff or serjeant-major authorised by him in writing.

XX.-NEW PARISHES AND CHURCH
BUILDING ACTS.

(32 & 33 Vict. c. 94.) This Act amends the previous Acts on this subject.

It enacts that the powers of the New Parishes Acts are to apply at any time to new parishes for ecclesiastical purposes.

Where pews or sittings in any church or chapel are subject to any trust as to the grant or disposal of them, or are the private property of any estate whatsoever, the trustees may yield up their interest in the same with or without communication to the bishop of the diocese, or to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, such surrender to be received and executed by the

The same enactments are to apply to the surrender to the ecclesiastical commissioners of the freehold of any church or chapel; and upon such surrender all rights created by the Act for buildthe church are to cease.

Provision is made for the sites of churches pulled down.

The portions of a benefice held in severalty may be incorporated into one.

Provision is made for parishes where there is no church and no patron. Such a parish is to be deemed an extra-parochial place for the purposes of the Act.

A contract for the assignment of patronage under the Church Building and New Parishes Acts is not to be deemed simoniacal. Certain assignments already made are declared to be valid, and none of the penalties against simony are to attach to them.

XXI.-THE PHARMACY ACT. (32 & 33 Vict. c. 187.) This amends the Pharmacy Act of 1868 by enacting that nothing contained in the first fifteen sections of that Act shall affect any person who has been registered as a legally qualified medical practitioner before the passing of this Act, nor apply to any person who may hereafter be registered as a legally qualified practitioner, who shall have passed an examination in pharmacy; nor prevent any veterinary surgeon duly certificated from dispensing medicines for animals under his care.

The period for presenting certificates to the registrar is extended to 31st Dec. next.

Nothing in sect. 17 of the Act of last year is to apply to any medicine supplied by a duly qualified medical practitioner to his patients, provided it be distinctly labelled with the name and address of the seller, and the ingredients thereof entered with the name and address of

the person to whom it is sold or delivered in a book to be kept by practitioners for that purpose.

THE LAND LAWS.

As we had anticipated, the land law question is not to be limited to Ireland. Already an agitation is being organised in England for the A Land Law League is formed, and to its promotion of the same object in this country. manifesto are affixed the signatures of a considerable number of gentlemen, some of whom lecturers and orators, having for their theme have already appeared before the public as the propriety of a redistribution of the land, or, as it was most tersely expressed by their very able organ, the Westminster Review, "the elimination of landlords and capitalists from the social organisation."

But the promoters of this revolution assert, and doubtless with all sincerity, that it is not their design nor desire to accomplish their end by any other than lawful means. They propose to work it out through the Legislature by changes in the law. They proclaim, in a series of distinct propositions, the nature of those changes, although they discreetly avoid any thing approaching to a description of the specific laws they would substitute for the existing law. The creed is skilfully framed to enlist a variety of votaries. It allures the tenants by an intimation that they are to share, in some manner not defined, the interest in land now enjoyed by the owner exclusively. It attracts the working classes by the broad assertion that the land of a country is the inalienable property of the people of the country, and that it is their object to restore the land to its true owners, so that every working man may have a share of it if he pleases. To soothe the alarms which such a menace could not fail to kindle in the minds of all possessors of property, whatever their political creed, it is proposed to begin the process of distribution by confiscating the land of corporations, on the plea that corporations are only creatures of the State; that the State may at any time dissolve them and seize their possessions, merely making compensation for life interests: in fact, following precisely the fruitful example of the Irish Church. The Democratic spirit is enlisted by the gratification of its one absorbing passion-the desire of equality. It will undoubtedly do that for which every true Democrat pines-to pull down all above him. To the Radical politician it offers the gratification of annihilating, with the extinction of land
