A new Great Seal o£ England is to be engraved to incorporate the change made in the King's title in consequence of the establishment of the Irish Free State. The King is now officially "George V., by the; Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Dominions beyond the seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India," and this title, which no longer refers to "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland," is to be engraved on the new Great Seal. Mr. Percy Metealfe, seulpton, has been commissioned by the mint to make a model for the purpose. ■ It is to show the King mounted on a horse instead of, as at present, as an admiral on a battleship. The Great Seal is attached to all State documents of which the King has signified his approval.
