      The Lord Chief Justice is likely to have a cheerful time of it , if the example set in the case of Saurin v . Starr is followed by many people . We may expect to see Mrs . Fitzmaurice Jones bringing an action against Lady Adela Flash for excluding her from the celebrated Tuesday evenings in Perceval Square .

J ohn Bright to all public dinners .

Bright will be able to get through dinner without any exhibition of violence , but , if necessary , he will be allowed to take a similar " refresher * ' after dessert .
