Tho thing that was regarded as almost impossible a year and a half ago has now bacome a sort of political necessity. The approaching vacancy in tho St. Austell Division of Cornwall will lead to an Interesting contest. In 1S90 Mr Borlaaa was elected without a contest, but when he retired there was r- keen^fight^bctween Mr MAe.,bur, fchs present member^ and Mr iirydges-Williaroa, a Liboral Unionist. Mr 31 Arthur won by a small majority ox 211, and is therefore certain that the Liberals will make- another attempt to win tho --eat.

A run with the Albrighton hounds on Tuesday terminated in a very &5ii?ati-nal and exciting manner at Kniver, Staffordshire. Three foxes were started during the day, and the third became so hard pressed that it dashed into the village and took refuge in the Vine Inn. The hounds followed in irdi cry. swept madly into the inn, and killed Reyiiard in the kitchen, amid tremendous noise and excitement. On Saturday evening a thief smashed with a brick a window in the front shop of a jeweller's establishment, known as the Old Curiosity Shop, at Leamington and de- camped with GO I. worth of rings, brooches, and other valuables.

I OFFENCES BY LOCAL COUNTY COUNCIL CANDIDATES. T ¡ APPLICATIONS FOR RELIEF. ¡ In the Queen's Ranch Division of the High Court of Justice on Monday—before Mr Justice Deurnan and Mr Justice Stephen—iJr Brickwood moved Mr relief for Mr Sackville Herbert Owen, a candidate in the Arnroth division of Pembrokeshire for the county council. The learned counsel explained that the candi- date had left out the name of the publisher an a poster, and on the back of pose cards he had had his address printed without having the words "printed and pub- lished" placed at the bottom.—Mr Justice Decmaa said whether the practice was illegal or not, the relief assked for would be granted. He was not sure that the court was not bound to say that the act was an illegal one, looking at the section under which that applica- tion was made. Unless the candidate had relief, there- fore, he would be liable to be proceeded against for an illegal practice. That being so, the court would ex- cuse the act. Mr Brickwood next applied ex parte Richard Henry Buekby, a candidate for the Begelly Division of Pem- brokeshire, for relief for leaving out the words "and published" in his election address, and issuing his address on a post card without giving the tHune of the printer and publisher.—Mr Justice Donman said the relief would be granted. Mr Brick wood also applied for relief for Charles Rankin Vicksrinan, a candidate for one of the divisions of Pembrokeshire, who had been guilty of similar illegalities to tiioie in the last cases. Mr Marshall said he appeared to oppose that appli- cation. The gentleman who was now applying to the court had been returned for the division for which be was a candidate. He discovered his mistake with regard to the law on the 2ud of January, and yet ho took no steps to obtain relief until after the election, which was carried out on January 16th. Mr Vicker- man it-as a solicitor, and. therefore, a person pre- eminently supposed to kuow the law. Yet he had iosued posters and postcards in contravention of the act. He submitted that if the candidate had intended I to apply for relief at all, he should have dona so loag-i before the election took place, seeing that similar applications were made to the court before the end of the last sittings, all of which were reported in the newspapers. Mr Justice Denrnan Do you suggest that the affi- davit, in which the applicant says the mistake arose from inadvertence, is fal,¡e Mr Marshall No, I do not suggest that. Mr Justice Stephen: You say he ought to have come earlier. Mr Marshall said according to applicant's own admission, he discovered the mistake on the 2nd of January. Being a solicitor, he ought to have known tbe law fetifora that date. But, as he knew it on January 2nd, be ought to have come before the election. ) lie did not say there was any want of good faith. After some further discussion, an omission in the affidavit was pointed out to Mr Marshal). Mr Justice Den man said leave would be given to I amend the affidavit, and the parties could coma before anotner court ou Friday. He and his brother Steven did not prejudge the matter, but the other court would j decide it upon such affidavits as might then be pro- duced. Among the candidates relieved were :—Mr Charles Lloyd, a candidate for the Llandyssul division of Cardiganshire. Ho had (Knitted the name of the printer from his add re as. Mr Williams, postmaster of Llatiberis, who was returned unopposed for Carnarvonshire County Council, was on 7iueaday superseded by direotion of the Pos*- tnaetor-General, an official from Bangor being placed temporarily ia charge. Tbe action of Mr Raikoa ciiuse# considerable local excitement. Mr Williams being a Caroarvoashira magistrate and late President of the Liberal Association. Mr David Roberta, Pos,t roaster of Llaugclien, an unopposed Liberal candidate j for the Anglesey Council, has resigned his appcintuaent under protest. Mr William Thomas, postmaster of LbIni, withdrew his Liberal candidature for Angle- sey. An official at Cricoietb post-office is under sus- pension ior canvassing for a Conservative candidate.

LOCAL LAW CASE. WKMY.SS MINES (LXJIITEE) V. WEMTSS. Mr Justice Charies delivered judgment. oa Moaday, in bilía case, which was tried before him a week ago, the plaintiffs being a company carrying on a lead mi on at Llanfihaugel-y-Croyddin. in the county of Cardigan, whilst defendant, Mr David Domglas Wemyss, resided at The Green, Trefechau, Aberyst- wyh. The action was to recover damages for levying an excessive distress upon and for wrongfully entering 1Ih mine, which was demised to the pra- deceseora in title by Mrs Frances Wemyss. NVith regard to the excoeaive distress, it seeraed that in December, 1-873, Mrs Wemyss agreed to grant a lease at the mine to Mr Samuel B'irth and Mr Eidley Henderson for a term of 21 years, Mrs Wemyss havkvg ths freehold of the property for life. That arrange- rcent was approved by the defendant, who was the revereioner of the property, by a memorandum in writing, and the lease was granted. The lease was afterwards assigned to the Wemyss Mining Company, j Li!7::&e £ which waa afterwards voluntarily wouni up pcous&bifced, the intereet in the lease being now J vested in (he plaintiffs. The company spent 5 £H"OOO aboTit the mine, and a further sum of £ 2,000 J in machinery. Mrs Wemyss died in December, IS84, and the defendant then became entitled in possession. Matters went on until the 23rd of July, 1887, when tii-e defendant pu; in a distress for £ 3So arrears of rc-at. The plaintiff's did not deny that sorne arrears were dae at that time, but they alleged tha the anionst was only £ 122 16s. iid. or at the moefe f268 :98. 9tL; and the,questions now raised were what the rent reserved realij was, and whether the defendant kad authority from hia mother's executors to receive the arrears that were due to them. According to the lease the plaintiffs had to pay a dead rent of £ 100 a year and also royalties if they exceeded £100. no pro- vision whatever being made ae to what should be done if the royalties did not exceed £100. Construed by ifaelf, the lease eertainly did indicate that the plaintiffs were to pay royalties, even if they did not exceed £100, and that was the view which the defenda-nt had taken. The plaintiffs, however, asserted that that was not the true view of the matter, because it would lead to this extraordinary result, that if, the royalties exceeded £ 100 by Is. the rent for the year would be £100 is. whereas if it feU short of £100 by Is. the plaintiffs woold have to ps-y JEI99 19s. The agreement for the lease, however, put it beyond doubt that the intention of the parties was that the royalties should be merged in the dead rent unless and until they exceeded £100. It was clear, therefore, that if the lease had not been made out in accordance with the agreement there had been a mutual mistake, and it followed that an excessive dis- tress had been levied upon the plantiffi, who owed jE268 9s. 9d., as he did not feel in a position to say that the defendant had no authority to distrain for the executors of his m3ther'a will. The damages, coase-i quently, with reepect to the distress, was f42 lOs. 3d., that being the difference between the rent due and the sum which the machinery realised on being sold. As to tho wrongful entry, the only question was one of damages. The plaintiffs having been evicted and kept out, the point was wh*t was tho value of the lease to them at the time of the eviction. The defendant sug- f^^sted that the value was nothing, as the mine had >een worked at a disastrous loss but the plaintiffs urged that the turning point waa being reached, and that if they had been allowed to remain they would have resjisd the fruits of their investment. He was unable to settle that point so that he would give judgment for the plaintiffs ca this issue also, with o« £ it/ for such sum, if any, as a special referee found to be the value of the lease at the time of the eviction. :JI"£"I!

THE PARNELL COMMISSION. On the resumption of the Par nail Commission, or. Wednesday -we.k., the Prosideat. alluding to the article in United Ireland for which Mr W. O'Brien, M.P., had been summoned to appaar, siudtho remarks in th&t article exceeded anything 111;\ could be fairly I allowed to a pevaon diaou'«ing the quaation before them, f the inquiry being purely judical ajid not politicaL Punishment would, in the prosant iastanco, be reo mitted, but if in future any one causad the Commissioners to deal wikh this subject again. it Nvould bo impossible for them to de 1<1 with the matter in a aimildrly lenient miuxuer. At the same time, Mr O'Brien ox any one else was at liberty to challenge the statements of the Times so looj* as criticism of the Commission or iuterlet'oncti wita witaesaes was not involved. The evidence of the witness Jago was then concluded, and he was followed by Patrick Delanay, who is now undergoing penal servitude for life for participation in the Phranix Park murders. He said he belonged to the Fenian organisation from 1875 until his axrast in 1882. In 1879 the Fenian centres attended a Land League meeting in the Rotundo. and Messrs. Parnell) Dillon, Davitt, Biggar, M. Harris, and Ega-n were there. Witness afterwards attended meetings at the house of an Invincible named Mullet, where it was represented that the Lxnd League was to organise the country, aud that tho Feuian party, supplied with arms, would do the remainder of tho work. Delaney, in course of his examination, detailed the number of schemes for assassination in which he took part, aud said that the Iuvincibles, whose avowed object was the murder of Government officials, got their money from the Land League. The witness was under cross-examination when the court adjourned, On the Spacial Commissioners resuming their seats on Thursday, Patrick Dela,uy, the Invincible who gave evidence as to the Phcenix Park murders and other plots, was cro88-axatriinsd. Ho deckred that he tad seen Mr Davitt in the company of D<;a Curley, one of the assassins of Lord F. Cavendish and J»tr Burke. Evidence having been given by Mr PR Digby, agent cn Lord Digby's estate and Mr G. H custou, agent to estates :n Leitrim, Cork, and other counties, the Attorney General road a baton oi letters written by Mr Davitt and Mr M. Harris relating to the Land League agitation, and the President then observed that there were several letters of Mr Parnell's which the other side ought to see. The Attorney General I assented, but asked for a similar production of letters in possession of the other parties but, aa Coursel hesitated to agree to this, the President deferred making any order. Some convocation as to the nature of the Plan of Campaign afterwards took place and the Commissioners adjourned. On Friday, George Young, son cf a landed proprietor, continued his evidence with regard to the extreme difficulty in obtaining rent, mentioning that in the Spring of 1886 he had ejoctiou orders against one hundred and forty tenants who would not pay, but the majority of them afterwards settled privately. Mr Garrett Tyrrell, a land agent of Edenderry, said that before the establishment of the La.nd League tha.t had bu a quiet place, and rents were well paid but he mentioned instances showing that the League exercised intimidation. Captain T. Pluckett, a Resident Magistrate, stated that from 1866 to 1880 Mayo, Meath, Longford, and Sligo were entirely free from crime, and there was a friendly feeling; between landlord and tenant. In 1879, after the establishment of the Land League, general disorder set in; legal processes were resisted crowds asaeu&bled at evictions and there was the greatest difficulty in collecting rents. Referring to Limerick, ho said tb" condition of the county had much iraprovad ainca the Crimes Act of 1887. The Commiasioners adjourned till Tusaday. Ou the re-assembling of the Special (P.iruell) Coltl. mission on Tuesday, alter a brief examination of Mr I Edwin Georgia Stoddard, lau(-! agent, Patrick Farrigiwr, who was at ene titae a clerk in the Laud League Offices I in Ifublin, was put into ttia box. He said ho had seen I Mv Parnell, Mr Healy, Mr Davitt, and others a.t meet- iag» of the executive, which dsalfc with money matters, and that ho had hiia^oil taken cheques from the League I rcoms to tho public 4oiise of Mullett, the Fenian. I They ware sent by Egau, who used to have consulta- tions with Mulletl aud a Fenian named Wheldon; and when the Lajid League was suppressed, the re- moval of hooka was superintended by Mr Campbell, M.P., Mr Parnell's secretary. Tha witness was eroaa- eir,unifned at some length, and the court adjourned. During the day the President, in response to an application by Sir Charles Ruassil, said fee time had arrived when all Land League documents seized-ehould be open to inspection.
