Mr. J. F. B. Stevenson appeared for both tho defendants, and questioned tho validity of tho butchers' award.

Dr. Elliott is too contentious a subject to be discussed hero. However, When Maeaulay's Now Zoalander, in the midst of a vast solitude, stands on a broken arch of London bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's, if that tragic event cv.or pecurs, the great variety of British coinage discovered by the new Imperialists (or, should we say the new Internationalists?) in a future age will be historjcal evidence of the extent and the might of the great British Empire of which its people' were once so proud in their narrow national way!" Dr. Elliott was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his address.
