DR. GRACE IN ENGLAND.

The London correspondent of the Dunedin Evening Star writes as follows Dr. Grace (who is staying at “ The Mansions,” Richmond, just how) has been delivering himself to a Star reporter on the May brick case. It seems he recently met “ Tay Pay” O’Connor out at dinner, and the latter, remembering after the verdict was announced that his new acquaintance had told the party about a,similar poisoning case in New Zealand, sent one of his young men to interview the doctor. The little medico yyas very communicative, but the reporter wisely condensed, his remarks into a brief “ par ” about the Hall trial. He (the reporter) tells me, however, that the doctor pronounced Mrs May brick innocent as an unborn babe. If Maybrick bad died of arsenic it would, be declared, have been found in his teeth, hair, liver, lights, and lungs. All Englishmen were narrow-minded bigots, and a New Zealand crossing? sweeper was more intelligent, than 1 an English M.P. No New Zealand jury would have found Mis Mayhrick guilty, nor would a New Zealand judge have shown the prejudice Mr Justice Stephen did. The glory of medicine was that it was not an exact science. Dr. Grace further condescended to say that England was not a had sort of a place, though a great deal too wet. New Zealand, however, was the country of the future. Tour Anglo-Saxon opened out and blossomed when he got there, throwing off all stiff conventionalities and becoming a new man. He himself had been rather incommoded during his travels through being constantly mistaken for another Dr. Grace—Dr. W. G. Grace—a celebrated cricketer, he believed.
