At the Wellington R. M. Court on Wednesday a cab driver named Crockett was summoned for having failed to return an umbrella left in bis vehicle. Mr Fitzgerald, solicitor, to whom the properly belonged, made a complaint to Mr Johnston, Inspector of Hackney Carriages, which led to the present proceedings. In giving evidence, Mr Fitzgerald stated that the night before, defendant asked him to withdraw the proceedings, and brought him a bundle of umbrellas, amongst which was the missing •ne, which, however, was practically useless, though it was almost new when lost. Mr Warded said the public were indebted to Mr Fitzgerald for having brought the case into Court, for it was necessary that both the public and the cabmen should be aw are o he provisions of the bye-law, which required! that any property left in a cab must either be returned to the owner or left at the Town Clerk’s office within 18 hours, in the same state as when found. In the present case the penalty would be £2 and costs, which, it was hoped, would be sufficient to direct the attention of drivers to the provision by which they were bound. The Rev H. Vere Whyte, in a recent letter to Mr F. H. Wood, of Greytown, says “As to the state of Ireland. It is hard to give yon a proper notion of our condition. The " League ” exercises a mischievous power, and it is hard to say what will happen if the Government refuse to buy out the landlords. That is the notion most in favor at present. There seems to be grave objections to it. If the landlords are bought out, the majority of them will leave the country taking their money with them. As it is we are in dreadful need of capital, and this will be a further blow to commercial prosperity. My opinion is that when the thing is looked into it will be seen to be a much more difficult programme than agitators suppose. Just at present we are waiting with anxiety to know what Mr Gladstone proposes to do with Homs Rule. Home Rule means the rule of the Laid League and the R. C. Bishops —a very objectionable kind of rule for the minority, who are the largest subjects. We want extended powers of local gavernment very much, but I cannot doubt that the establishment of a Parliament in Dublin will mean ruin to the country for at all events onr generation, and will probably necessitate civil war sooner or later. That’s my deliberate opinion, but of course I may be quite wrong.”
