IT is with the deepest regret that we record the death of a Bencher of the Middle Temple who had so long held the principal clerical position in the House of Commons, and who, as Sir Erskine May, enjoyed an enviable popularity. Only last month we did jus- tice to Sir Erskine's merits in an article which also dealt with another old Parliamentary hand, Lord Redesdale; while in our February number will be found a portrait and a biographical sketch of Sir Erskine May, who, as will be remembered, was made Lord Farnborough only a month before his regretted decease. P1r's CoUr has lost a good friend. MR. JsiSTcE GrANTHAM has been entertained at a big nner at the County Hall, Lewes, the Mayor (Alderman irncombe) presiding, supported by Viscount Hampden we former Speaker of the House of Commons) and a large .mpany. This was a fitting compliment to pay one who id done Sussex such valuable political service for many ars. AN advertisement has been lying for a little while in the ner Temple Library which notified that a secretary to a iblic company was required, and that any young barrister, V who was prepared to devote himself exclusively to his duties, would receive [300 per annum. Candidates to apply to Mr. Hall Dare, the steward of the Inn. From enquirieswe have made we understand that the advertiser is a lady who is interested in a company promoted for the purpose of making bread, the staff of life, cheaper. We understand that the Inner Temple Treasury office was crowded with aspirants, some three or four hundred having volunteered to devote themselves and their time to the arduous occupation! Where is the line to be drawn about placing advertisements in the libraries, and why were not members of the other Inns afforded a chance? MR. CHARLES SHAW, the sub-treasurer of the Middle Tem- ple, has been requested to resign and has departed. After a paragraph which appeared in our columns some time ago, we purposely abstained from saying much that we might have said, as we knew that in any case the end could not be far off. We limit ourselves to saying that Mr. Shaw will not leave any regrets behind him. He contrived to make himself odiously unpopular with the members of the Inn. We wish to impress on the Benchers the desirability, nay, the duty of appointing, if possible, a member of the Inn to fill the vacancy. There must be many barristers able, and, in these hard times, willing to accept the berth, which provides a competence for life and entails no degrading occupation. THE illness of one judge, and the absence, through domestic affliction, of two others, necessitated a re-arrange- ment of the Spring Assizes. THE QUEEN has opened the Colonies, and the season of Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-Six may be said to have begun fairly well. Up to now the evenings have been too chilly to permit of much promenading at South Kensington, but very soon we may expect to see a recurrence of the lively scenes which we have all witnessed these three last seasons. It would be tiresome to enter into details of this year's show after the newspapers have published so many columns about it. A FEATURE which has characterised previous Exhibitions will be missed this year: there are to be no foreign bands, the money which went into French, German, and Austrian pockets being destined to line the purses of our own musicians. This decision will, doubtless, meet with general approval, though it cannot be gainsaid that Herr Strauss's hand was a great draw last year. SINCE the Vienna composer to whose waltzes we have all danced left us last autumn he has actually turned Pro- testant-an item of news which Mr. Martin Tupper might introduce in the second edition of his new book of reminiscences. ON Tuesday, the 18th ult., the diners in Middle Temple Hall were startled by an occurrence unprecedented in the memory of the oldest member. After being kept waiting for dinner half-an-hour beyond the usual time, two Benchers rushed in unannounced and unpreceded by the head porter with the usual wand of office.
