THE POWER8 OP THE COMMISSIONERS.The OrsL objection to the regulations of April

last was that the Commissioners had no power tomake such regulations, the health officer being bythe act of January 2o, lxxi, exclusively empow¬ered to make them. The court held, however,that as the health officer can onty execute and

r gulatlons as the Co.,mis-lonersairect, the Comm.ssloners must Ilrst direct whatth*: re-tulatioas shall be. The court, therefore, did

R2 objection. The other point madeby the petitioners was that, conceding that thepower to make such regulations resided in thecommissioners,, the reguiat ons In question are In

leKal authority, and therefore void.The court was not, the chief Justice said.Tne^J-ui«?fnl,1n»trravlt?.of lhe 1uefeU011 before It.iiSf. rejEUlAUon of p.umblug in lu relations to thehealth of the community undoubtedly called forthe w se exercise of all the powen nossesse 1 bvthe municipal authorities, Ou thefnher hand then -»htsol cltteens could not be Invaded. He quoted.lU.norltles to saow that muuictp il corporationsouly possessed such powers of regulation as wern cessary lo enioree powers specifically grantedby iaw, and that an order canuot be made to con¬travene common law.

THE EXAMINATIONS UNWARRANTED.The Chief Justice then summarized the require-

ON OLADSTONE.Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Newcastle

Saturday, declared that Mr. Gladstone's proposalsregarding Ireland, as they now stood, mean;, tuebreaking up of the union and the ruin of the em¬pire. He denied that the government had lightlyadopted coercion. They had tried to rule Irelandby ordinary law untU the plan of camnalirn rea-

mis impossible. The plan of campaign, uesaid, was exactly similar to the "No rent" mani¬festo, which had been Mr. Gladstone's Jusilocationfor coercion. Lord K indolph ridicules the idea thatthe Parneilites had ca .nged their methods andalms. Mr. Gladstone ought to be the last to de¬nounce the Irish police, for they had got at logir»r-heads with the peop.e in carrying out repeatedGladstone coercion acts.
