Henry James
LI! and out of
Parliament, I
have with con-
siderable satis-
faction heard
the chorus of
approval ex-
pressed with
regard to the admirably clear and succinct speeches
the Attorney-Gencml made at Maidstone in opening
and closing the case for the prosecution of Percy
Lt’-‘ml’ -‘Iuplcton. The charge, as calmlybut power-
fully delivered by Sir Henry Jyunes, was from the
first unanswcrahle. Lucid was the story; irre-
sistible the chain of evidence wound round the stolid
prisonerin the spiked dock. The main facts were
few. Lefroy began the fateful 27th of June badly
by ‘ " " the Wnllington stationer. Ila thereby
gained 1) small sum; and forthwith took a pistol out
of pawn in the Borough the sanio morning. Yur-
chasing a first-class ticket for Brighton, Lefroy
went by tho two p.m. train, and was identified by
Franks, ticket-collector at London Bridge, as the only
passenger who got into the same compartment as
Mr. Gold did. “'lmt followed on the departure
of tho tniin could alone be shown by circumstantial
evidence. “'1: have the testimony of the Brighton
chemist, Mr. Gibson, who, travelling with his son
in the next coiiiparlnicnt, heard reports which he
believed at the time to he [03 sign11ls,justos they

special pleading was pulled to. pieces by the
searching 8Ilfll.)'c(“3 of Sir Henry James and Lord
Chief Justice Colcridgr-. Ending as scnsationally
an it began, the trial was broiight to an
apt close by I.cfroy's tliratricnl Cxflzlllliltllln
after sentence of dcatli hail lmcii passed that the
Jury would one day, when it would he too late, dis-
covcrtlicy had “m11rdercd.]ii1n.” But indubitably
nllinen of common sense will thoroughly agree in
the justice of the Lord Chief Justice's sentence :-
'i‘crcy Ipfmy llaplclon, you have been convicted upon
the clearest evidence of A lcrocioua murder-n murder per-
pelrnted by knife and pistol upon an old man. n harmless
man, urnan who had done you no harm, and: man who,
perhaps, was altogether unknown to you. You have been
justly and nr.-htly ounvicte1l,u.nd it is right and just that
you should die. The sentence is not the sentence of the
weak mortal who utters it, but it is the sentence of the
English law, of which he is the minister.

With this engrossing trial cleared away, Londoners
:could on lVednesday give full rein to their enjoy-
ment of the annual sight of the Lord lI:'1.yor‘s Show.
By putting a knight bearing the name of Firth
in couiriiand of the imposing gathering of Fire-
men, the Corporation may have intended to
my “check! " to Mr. Firth, M.P., who is
playing a winning game, however, against the
Municipal evils London labours under. But the
Civic Master of the Ceremonies reserved his best
move for the conoliidiug portion of the Show, as will
be seen from a. few lines in the oilici.-1.1 programme :-

The honour-oifcred to the Stars and Stripes was 8
most opportune notion. England needed the oc-
oasion to return the handsome conipliiiient paid
to the British stanilard at Yorktown. The new
Lord Mayor furnished G that occasion. Ilow the
populace performed their part of the Inter-
national ceremony, and how heartily the penple
hailed the American tlag, let the records of the Lord.
Mayor's Procession tell. Grand us the scene was
in Palace Yard when the assembled band; played
the American National Anthem in honour of the
Stars and Stripes, there was yet another
opportunity at the Guildhall Banquet for one of the
foremost orator: of the age, certainly the foremost
Briton of his time, to increase the heurtiiiess of the
greeting we send to ourA1ne1-icon brethren. But, as
it happened, Mr. Gladstone had the self-nbnegalion
to leave this rhetorical plum to Earl Granville,
whose wise and etotesmanlike luiidalion of the
Alabainri Arbitration, and whose friendly references
to the good feeling of our Aniericuii brethren
towards us, will not be the least of the niany reason:
why we shzill luyully greet the noble Earl as Mr.
Gladstone’: successor.

Lord Coleridge-ruddy in face as a. wholesome
pippin-is fnnicd for his silvery eloquence. Ila
shone in another capacity-11: 11. kind of judicial
.apothecary on “'ednesdoy. As Lord Chief Justice,
it was his duty to greet the now Lord Mayor
in the Court of Queen's Bench, when in his heart of
hearts he must linvo felt that the Corporation
must collapse consideral,-ly when the mace of
Parliament is applied to it with vigour. Ilis
Lordship was impelled, therefore, to administer a
salutary pill, but geniully gilded it by the reminder
that even the Crown, Parliament, Church, and Law
had felt the hand of change and reform.
