Paris courts have ' taken another twist at dressmakers- suits for extra- vagant gowns and unpaid bills, He was born but New York was slightly beforehand. From the French capital comes a de- cree which will interest dressmakers as well as women who have a pench- ant for running up bills which they know hubby never can pay. A fash- lonable dressmaker in Paris demanded $5,800 for twenty-one gowns supplied to a woman within two months and sued the woman and her husband, and the court, in giving judgment for the amount, cautioned tradesmen that they should | show prudence and re- serve when ~orders were offered which were obviously exaggerated and ex- travagant. The question of dress- makers and their clients' responsibili- ies has had many interesting airings in New York courts. Judge McCar- thy, of the municipal court, who has served twenty-five years and knows as much about women and dressmaker suits as anyone in New York, says: "There is absolutely nothing startling about this Parisian decree. The law in New York makes the husband liable for all the necessitics the wife buys, but we must use our judgment as to what necessities are.'

Another clause, aiming at the en couragement of flax growing, instructs the '"'captain-general and governor chief," as he is called, "to take par- ticular care to insert a clause in every grant of land where any part thereof | is fit for such production, obliging | the grantee annually to sow a propor- | tionate part of his grant with hemp or | flax seed." 1 Land boards were appointed at the | formation of the districts, to report | on applications, for land, and the in- | structions indicafe an appreciation of the rights of the people which is not even at this day wholly realized. On Feb. 17, 1789, rules and regulations | were issued, one of which reads "And to prevent individuals from | monopolizing such spots as contain mines, minerals, fossils and conveni- | ences for mills and other singular ad- | vantages of a common and public na- | ture, to the prejudice of the general | interest of settlers, the governor-gen- | eral and his agents or deputy survey- | ors in the different districts, shall con- | fine themselves, in the locations to | be made by them, upon certificates of | the respective boards, to such lands only as are fit for common purposes of husbandry, and they shall reserve all other spots aforementioned, to- gether with all such as may be fit and useful for ports and harbors, or works of defence, or such as contain valu- sble timber for ship building or other | purposes, conveniently situated for water carriage, in the lands of the | crown. EE "And the more effectually to pre- vent abuses, and to put individuals on | their guard in this respect, any certi- | ficate of location given contrary to | the true intent and meaning of this regulation is hereby declared to be | null and void, and a special order of | the governor in council mdde neces- | sary. to pledge the faith of govern- | ment for granting' of any such spots as are directéd to be referred." | Governor Simcoe, on Feb. 7, 1792, issued instructions also "that all grants reserve to the crown all coals, commonly called sea-coals, and mines of gold, silver, copper, tin, iron and lead."

DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12. -- - ---------- THE KING'S FOOD, Explanation of the Ancient Board of Green Cloth, Wil id to the board of green cloth it, ist of the most ancient institutions of the English court, is composed of the lord steward, of the treasurer, and of the controller of the household, as well as of several min- or officials, and derives its name from the green cloth on the table at which the officials sit on the occasion of their . It has charge not only of the accounts and of the victualing | of the royal household, but likewise of | the exercise of a number of legal pre- rogatives and immunities pertaining to the residences of the sovereign, The of § cloth is, in fact, | the council of the lord high steward, | who in'angient days bore the title of seneschal, and who, subject of course, to the sovereign, enjoys jurisdiction, | independent of the ordinary tribun- als of the land, over all the inmates of the royal palaces and royal parks, | and over the people connected there- | with. = Indeed, the lord steward, in | conjunction with his board of green | cloth, has the rights of life and death | over offenders, and the power of se- | lecting a jury from among the ser- | vants of the sovereign. | In these modern times it is doubt. | ful whether the lord high steward would be willing to exercise his pre- | rogative of sitting in judgment upon a case of felony, such as, for instance, a murder committed within the pre- cincts of Buckingham Palace or | Windsor Castle, and he would prob- ably delegate his authority to one of the judges of the High Court of Jus- | tice to deal with: the case. In fact, he does something of the kind at the | Adcot races. The Ascot race course, everybody knows, forms part of the royal domain of Windsor, and since it. has become so popular as a race meeting during the Ascot week in midsummet, it has been found ne- cessary to devise some means of ad- ministering summary justice on the | spot. 3 Powers of the Lord Steward. Accordingly the lord steward of the househaojd 'each year secures the ser- | vices of the senior police magistrate of the metropolis for the Ascot week, and the magistrate in question, by virtue of the authority delegated to him by the lord steward, holds court in his name in a room provided for the purpose beneath the grandstand | and inflicts penalties on the thieves | and toughs who are brought before him charged with offenses commit- | ted upon. the racecourse. | The last occasion on which the lord | stewart dealt with a case of homi- cide was when the mysterious murder of Benlis, the Swiss valet of the Duke of Cumberland, afterward first King of Hanover, took place in St. James' | Palate. The duke was the subject of | such general execration that popular | sentiment did not hesitate to lay the crime at the door of this son of George | III. But the coroner's jury, recruited | by the lord steward and by the board | of green cloth from among the King's | servants, absolved the duke of all | responsibility and rendered a verdict | of murder by unknown persons. { The lord high steward receives his | charge immediately from the sove- reign, and by virtue of his office takes precedence of all dukes who do not happen to be princes of the reigning house. The immediate direction of the royal household "below" stairs," that is, the kitchens, the domestic ser- | vants, 'ete., is in his hands, and in those of the board of green cloth. He | and the latter are responsible for the expenditures and for the supplies. But I virtually his authority extends over the entire court, even the chamber, the chapel, and the stables. The lord steward's insignia of office is a white wand or staff, which he carries in the presence of the sovereign, but which | on state occasions, when the monarch is not present, is borne before him by a footman, bareheaded. On the death of the sovereign from whom he has received the white staff he breaks it over the royal bier at the close of the obsequies to indicate that his of- fice has ceased and that there is no longer any board of green cloth. !

Like others of England's hist | cathedrals--- Westminster and Exeter} for instance--Westminster Abbey has begun to show the effects of the hand of time, and the ravages of London's atmosphere. Repairs upon the Abbey have now been begun, under the direction of the architects of the Ecclesiastical Com- | missioners, and for several years there will be work going on behind | unsightly palisades and scaffolding, | much to the disappointment of French and American visitors to London. Motor omnibuses are held to be partly responsible for making repairs nedessary, and residents in Dean's Yard, adjoining the Abbey, are out- spoken in their complaints against | the vibration which accompanies the 'motor omnibus traffic to Victoria. A new line has recently greatly aug- mented the number now passing the north front of the Abbey. ] North Front Damaged. It is to the north front that the greatest amount of damage has been done. Scaling of the stone has be- come general, and spread along the entire front, seriously affecting the | effigies of several bishops and mar- tyrs. A few days ago a large section of stone fell just after the passing of a motor omnibus. A policeman on point duty near the Abbey front said that the jarring is plainly felt inside the Abbey. The Victoria bound motors are worst, he said, and the amount of vibration ap- pears, to depend upon the manner in which they take the curve into Vie- toria street. » The architects admit that in every case where appreciable portions of stone have fallen flaws have been discovered, due to the encroachments of time and weather. $100,000 For Repairs. Lack of means has delayed the work of renovation during recent years, but as there is now available some £20,000 a year, the north front is to be re-faced, practically in entirety. The vibration is distinctly percep- tible to worshippers. : How advisable it is to look to the repairs of our historic abbeys and cathedrals is well illustrated in the | case of Exeter Cathedral, where the dean has just made the disquieting | the south tower is | discovery that resting on falling foundations.
