At Lichfield, on Friday, the hearing of the case against Mr. Arthur Barnes, solicitor, Lichfield, for having acted as agent to Sir John Swinburne in the election, he being undersheriff, and acting as returning officer, was concluded. The magistrates did not think agency sufficiently proved, and the summons was dismissed. It was stated by the prosecution that a bill of indictment would be preferred against the defendant at quarter sessions. In State v. Smith (Iowa Supreme Court, Northw. Rep. 153), it was held, says the Albany Law Journal, in a prosecution for bastardy, not to be error to allow the alleged bastard child, two years old or more, to be exhibited to the jury, and permit them to determine as to the family resemblance between such child and the alleged putative father. Statements of counsel calling attention to certain alleged points of resemblance held, if erroneous, to be without prejudice. The statement of counsel was as follows: "I only wish to call the attention of the jury to what anyone can see plainly, with half an eye, that the eyes of this exhibit (the child) are hooked, and that also the eyes of the defendant are hooked, and that the eyes of Reka Helm are not." The court said: "The defendant claims that any resemblance, if it should be thought to exist between such a child and a man alleged to be its father, is too unreliable to constitute legal evidence of the alleged paternity. It is a well-known fact that resemblances often exist between persons who are not related, and are wanting between persons who are. Still, what is called family resemblance is sometimes so marked as scarcely to admit of a mistake. We are of the opinion, therefore, that a child of the proper age may be exhibited to a jury as evidence of alleged paternity.' Messrs. Peacock & Goddard write to the Times on the present block of business in the Lunacy Office. They say:A simple order that in the Chancery Division can be drawn up and acted upon, and money taken out of court in a fortnight, takes many months to get through in the Lunacy Office. It is now over three months since we obtained the master's order to raise a small sum for repairs to buildings out of a fund in court. The buildings have been begun and the builder wants his money, but we are told that the order cannot be given out before November, though probably it would take but a couple of hours to draw up. We do not cast the least reflection upon the officials, who are most courteous, and who work early and late in the hope of keeping down increasing arrears, but what we do say is that inasmuch as within the last twenty-five or thirty years the business of the Lunacy Office has unhappily increased threefold, it is absurd to suppose that the existing staff, which is about the same now as it was theu, can be expected to get through the work. Representations made to the Lord Chancellor on the subject seem to have no effect, and solicitors are blamed for delays over which they have no sort of control. The remedy is a simple one. Let the practice of the Lunacy Office be assimilated to that of the Chancery Chambers, with an efficient staff, and the present arrears, which are in some instances really operating as a denial of justice, will speedily disappear. The Postmaster-General, on the 29th ult., received a deputation composed of members of Parliament, and many representatives of banks, mercantile houses, the Stock Exchange, and of the legal and other professions, who waited upon the right hon. gentleman in order to urge the adoption of a system by which receipts would, for a small charge, be given at post-offices as proof that letters, telegrams, or pattern parcels, &c., had been duly posted. Dr. Cameron, M.P., after introducing the deputation, explained the system by which Mr. A. Clifford-Eskell proposed that proof of posting should be obtainable, and samples of the receipt forms it was suggested that the Post Office should sell were exhibited. These were in small books which might be sold at the rate of 34d. for a book containing one dozen receipt forms, or posting proofs." A person wishing to obtain proof that a letter, for instance, had been posted, would fill up one of the receipt forms with an exact copy of the address on the letter. The messenger intrusted with the posting of the letter would merely present this receipt form with the letter to the clerk at the post-office counter, who, after comparing the two in order to see that the address was correctly copied, would with a blow of a stamper put a mark on the receipt which would show at what office and on what day the letter was posted. Mr. Clifford-Eskell contended that the experiment which had been tried at Liverpool, Bath, and Birmingham with "certificates of posting of unregistered letters" had failed mainly because in the first place the charge for each receipt-a half-penny-was too high, and, secondly, sufficient notice and explanation had not been given of the advantages the system offered to the public. Mr. Fawcett said from the consideration of carefully prepared estimates he had formed an opinion that this scheme would not be remunerative if only a farthing were charged for each receipt. The adoption of the scheme at a farthing rate would, he believed, be tantamount to asking for a grant of money from the public funds for the benefit of those persons who wanted to obtain receipts for their letters, and, as he had told a deputation of gentlemen who had called upon him with reference to telegrams the other day, he would never be a party to any section of the public receiving a benefit at less than the cost of production at the charge of the general community. He could not, there fore, give his consent to an attempt to carry out this scheme at the farthing rate. He was, however, willing to give the scheme another trial, on the conditions he would name. Those were that the scheme should come into operation at the halfpenny rate on the 1st of January next in Glasgow. If it failed, it could not, of course, be extended, but if it met with only a portion of the success anticipated by the promoters he should be very glad to have been in any way advantages they desired that department to supply. the means of bringing within reach of the public any SALES OF ENSUING WEEK.
