      for readers , the demise of such a magazine is a matter for regret , as the , ' copy' which , found acceptance with the editor of Fraser and was welcomed by its subscribers is not likelto

      The logic of the London stipendiary police magistrate is usually forcible , and his law is seldom called in questionso that when one of these functionaries the other day gave judgment
