OCTOBER 26, 1861.]


FUNT.


evidence :-Was of the same faith as prisoner, but found him a regular
nuisance. Could not get on with him at all. Had lately purchased
an estate called Italy, and the prisoner encouraged all sorts of bad
characters in his house, which was in the middle of his (witness's)
estate, and sent them out to rob and murder. Had even roasted some
of his tenants. (Sensation.) Thought he should be got rid of at any
rate; should certainly be obliged to put him out if somebody else did
not.
 Cross-Examined:-Had purchased his estate by blood and the
sword in the cause of liberty. Had a private bargain with one
Louis NAP, and had paid his share honourably. Gave his friend a
small ancestral estate and his niece, and married his daughter to a
cousin of MR. NAP. Witness here stood down.
 M. Louis NAPOLEON, a gentleman of half-military half-sporting
character, examined :-Considered the POPE a very precarious life.
Would not insure his life. Could not do with him, nor could he well
do without him. Had many friends of his (the POPE'S) in his house,
and was rather afraid of them. Sent an army to protect him.
Found it necessary to do so, but very expensive. Thought that some
arrangement might be made by which the old gentleman might be
removed quietly.
 The POPE's counsel did not cross-examine this witness, as he
evidently thought him a ticklish subject.
 M. EDMOND ABOUT stated that he was employed as a detective by
the last witness. Went to Rome, and found the state of that city as
bad as could be. Murders of frequent occurrence, and the murderers
not punished; no trade, no enjoyment, no nothing, in fact. Was full
of soldiers and priests. Would not like to live there at all. Houses very
old and dilapidated. The whole estate out of cultivation, and going to
ruin. Thought the POPE the cause, and had advised his removal.
 This closed the case, and his HONOUR summed up. The prisoner
should be warned to set his house in order, and to remove at once.
Public nuisances could not be allowed. He was ready to grant
that at one time the old gentleman might have been a vigorous
and useful member of society, but it was plain that his day
was over. To permit his feeble hands to hold the reins of govern-
ment was as mad as to permit a headstrong and weak child to drive a
spirited horse. If he again appeared he would imprison him for life,
and take away his estate. In conclusion, his HONOUR complimented
MR. INSPECTOR F (UN) for the clear way in which he had got up the case.

Introduction by H.R.H. of the sholl-jacket. Soldiers first
 called Lobsters."
Proper anniversary of the Peace of Utrecht, played with great
 success in the Provinces
Martin Tupper catches his annual cold in the head.
Special Services-from Folkestone to Boulogne.
Review of Volunteers by the Senior Beadle of Burlington,
 attended by his staff.
Great Match at the Crystal Palace. The fountains will play

FuN comes out. Consols 105 in the shade.
24th of October only comes once a year. General holiday.
Equestrian procession on the Serpentine by moonlight (weather

 New Italian Loan.
Meeting of the Thames Angling Society to consider the use
 of railway lines in perch fishing. Dl. HOOK in the chair.


 FLOWER GARDEN.-Continue through the month to plant boot trees
and candelabra branches. Strew your rum shrubs with table leaves and
violet powder. Pot everything that comes in your way, and you may
expect a fair show in the spring. Transplant roses until you are tired,
when go on with the tulips. To keep off trespassers, set spring traps for
the winter.
 KITCHEN GARDEN.-Sow carraway seeds, and look forward to an early
crop of Abernethy biscuits. To prevent the birds pecking your apples, eat
them all yourself; you will probably have to send for a doctor, who may
pronounce your case hopeless ; no matter, prevention is better than cure.
Another plan easily adopted is the following:-Directly you see a bird
settle on the tree, climb softly p and seize his tail; this must be done with
great adroitness, and when he is not looking.
 RECEIPT FOR AN AGREEABLE SUMMER ,BEVERAGE. -Take ono part
of vinegar, two of common soap, one of pummice-stone, and half of
Macassar oil. Sift through a small deal board, mix with rough oil of
citron, rub all over with a rough towel, and drink warm.

 EXAMINATION PAPERS
IN MEDIEVAL JURISPRUDENCE (NEW ZEALAND IUtIME, A.n 2l).
 (Foretold by our Special Medium.)
 1. EXPLAIN minutely the difference between courting and counilvy-
courting. Give your reasons for preferring one mode of procedure to
the other.
 2. Explain the difference between "dun" and done." Provo
from insolvent records and proclaniations of outlawry tlat tho
former was often the latter.
 3. What was' the annual salary of a J. P. ? Expatiate on the accu-
rate adjustment of salary to merit.
 4. When was a police magistrate first styled beak in official
documents? Give the arguments for and against the idea tha;
metropolitan police-courts were situated in Beak-street. "A beak'
is so called from the amount he knows." Justify this assertion.
 5. Describe the general formation and characteristics of thlo police-
man's highlow. Is there any foundation for tlhe idea that tLhise mirticl
of dress was so called from its universal adoption by every grade of
society ?
 6. Trace the existence of an analogy between the crusher and
 the "smasher." Do you consider the fact that no policeman was
 permitted to go on duty unless accompanied by a strongly staff, a
 proof of the demoralized condition of British society in 1861 ?
 7. Is there any reason to believe that the ushers of police-courts
 were recruited from decayed schoolmasters ? or (lo you think tllim is
 greater reason to suppose that they wore so called because it was
 part of their duty to preserve silence in court ?
