One fears that such an institution will be far to seek , although it must be , admitted that legislative and administrative action during compara tively recent years have exercised a useful influence in the desired direction . At the moment a settlement of the building trade dispute seems to . be as remote as ever . Both masters and men appear to be determined in their attitude , and in the present prevailing spirit it is difficult to see any hopeful pur- pose in bringing them together . Government workers in the Ordnance Departments are de- manding a minimum wage , taxi - cab drivers are discontented over the quality of petrol supplied them , and altogether the industrial metropolis is in anything but a tranquil condition . great - grandfather . George III . , as far as we know , did little active work for farming , and it was the Prince Consort who showed that the first Gentleman in the Realm might set the best of examples . It was he who in 1640 began to farm at Windsor , and eight years later he was delighting the farmers of " Eng confessing that he , -too , had " experienced the land by talking of " we agriculturists " and pleasures and the little pangs attendant on agricultural pursuits . " Capitalists and Cottages . Still more to the point at this moment , comments the Westminster Gazette , was his declaration about the same time that " the capitalists who help . to raice dwellings of the right kind for the labouring classes will find that they do so with profit and advantage to themselves at the same time that they are dis- pensing these domestic comforts to their poorer brethren .

A case , one of the most remarkable ever ceased was a wicked - minded woman , for she occupied over four hours , was heard at Ross heard by the legal profession , and one which ( witness ) was quite sure the money was paid .

The Mrs. Stanley lived with Mr. and Mrs. says the Westminster Gazette . Sir Hartmann chief item in the counterclaim was for the Knight , she was always referring to her dis- is going out , at the request of Mr. Harcourt , use of kitchen , the use of furniture , the pleasure of these nieces , and that she never even expressed a desire to see them .

" " After explaining how the agreement and the payment of 1s . per week was arrived at , which was at Mrs. Stanley's suggestion ,. Mr. Parish went on to say that there was also a verhal agreement made between the . parties that Mrs. Stanley on her death would leave her property and money to the Knights for all their kindnesses to her dur- ing her lifetime . The proposal or agreement was made before she went to live with the defendants . When Mr. Knight agreed , Mrs. Stanley said , " Thank you . Fred - for she in a lump sum at my death . " That story was repeated on several occasions , and Mrs. Stanley lived in the house as one of the family , and during the five years she was there , Mrs. Knight did her cooking , attend- ed to her , and nursed her during her illness . and for all those services the defendant had not received one penny for payment . It was only on very few occasions that help was required for the nursing , and during the final illness , Mrs. Knight sat up for 19 consecutive The Judge's " Kick - off .

Lloyd and Pratt , solicitors , Newport , was for the defendant . Numerous stories of Mr. Justice Bucknill are going about just now in view of his retire- ment . One which is characteristic tells of an experience which befell him a few years ago , Mr. Parsons . in opening the case , said when he went to the Shepherd's Bush football this was an action brought by the executors ground to " kick - off " in a match between of the late Mrs. Martha Maria Stanley , who died on October 27th of last year . against teams of barristers ' clerks .

He ( Mr. was sure he need not remind His Honour Parish ) submitted that he had a complete that it would be a claim which would have answer to the claim , and further that he to be the subject of the most vigilant should substantiate the items on the counter- inary thing . Mr. Parsons then proceeded to relate in detail the history of the whole and told the story of how he became ac case , saying that the deceased woman owned quainted with Mrs. Stanley , and how she a house called Cinderhill , where she lived said on several occasions during her life , until 1908. when she went to lodge with the " I am leaving this house to you and every- defendant Knight and his wife , the former thing I have got .

" Very well , Mrs. Stanley , you shall come , and we will do all we can for you . " That was on November the 30th . His Honour : Now I have three dates for Was it in September , October , or November ? Defendant said it was on the day before the agreement was drawn up . He could not re- member the date . He had a bad memory , and he had conversation with her nearly every day . The agreement was drawn up It says much for the good sense of the City " that , at Monday's great gathering at the Guildhall concerning the Navy , party political bickerings were conspicuous by their absence , although the large assembly of finan- ciers , captains of industry , and merchant princes included men whose party opinions and utterances are auything but anæmic in the ordinary course .

This Lord Glenconner is resolution may indeed be taken to represent related to many well - known people , among the traditional position of the City itself on them , the Prime Minister , who naval matters . It never welcomes the ex - in - law . tremes either of panic provisions on the one hand or of parsimony on the other . Its standard is that of adequate protection . " No vast increases are asked for ; indeed , there were expressions of regret that the present naval expenditure should be , so enormous , but the City will not grumble in shouldering its share of a burden which does not outgrow its raison d'être , The social functions which are always asso- ciated with the opening of Parliament were as brilliant as ever , and there is every pros- pect that those which are to follow will be as notable as the session will be important . Both the Prime Minister and Lord Crewe enter tained their colleagues in the Ministry in either House . Mr. Walter Roch and Mr. Gordon Hewart , the movers and seconders of the Address in the House of Commons , were guests of Mr. Asquith ; and Lord Glenconner and Lord Stanmore , who performed the same offices in the Lorde , dined with Lord Crewe Afterwards the guests from both dinners at tended the great reception at No. 10 , Down ing - street , and were joined by many official and other folk . Lord Lansdowne was the Op position host , the Members of the Front Benches in both Houses dining with him at Lansdowne House , where he and Lady Lans downe afterwards gave a reception . There should be little difficulty in securing the sum necessary to provide the memorial to Sir L. Alma - Tadema which is proposed . Admirers of his wonderful pictures of women and marble are legion , and a generous flow of contributions may be expected . The Royal Academy has itself undertaken to provide an inscribed slab to be placed on the artist's grave in St Paul's Cathedral , and the sub- seriptions which are made to the memorial fund will go to provide a public monument , which it is suggested should take the form of a bust of the artist , possibly in combination with design in sculpture embodying some reference to his art . It is hoped that the fund will provide for the erection of a hand- some memorial on these lines , and that there will be a balance sufficient to enable the com mittee to purchase the remarkable archeolo gical library formed by the painter and pre Bent it to some public institution .
