590 NOTES OF THE MONTH. 



triously, and, as Mr. White has it, by the " sweat of their brow." 

 Their implements of trade will not cost much. A jemmy, a centre-bit, 

 and a dark lantern, doubtless Mrs. Fry can furnish them with, or 

 perhaps Mr. White, or any other philanthropist. The benefit of Mr- 

 White's schooling ought not to be lost for lack of encouragement. 



This has been a sad month for the Welsh church. The mortality 

 has been awful. We have to lament the loss of the following dis- 

 tinguished members of the profession: Died at Llandilo, Cardigan- 

 shire, the Rev. T. Benyon, Archdeacon of Cardigan ! Prebendary of 

 Clirow ! Rector of Pamboyr and Llanfihanyd-peh-Cilfargen ! Vicar 

 of Llanfihanyd- Aberbythick ! Perpetual Curate of Llande-feysant ! 

 Commissary-General of the Archdeaconry of Carmarthen ! and Rural 

 Dean of Emlyn ! &c. c. &c. The Welsh ponies have good reason 

 to regret the death of a dignitary, for their reverend masters have 

 been mighty active under such a bereavement. It is understood, 

 however, that our noble premier has another nephew anxious to 

 serve his country, who is, moreover, blessed with a singularly reli- 

 gious turn of mind. He is desirous to relieve the Welsh expectants 

 from the heavy responsibility which the situation they vainly seek 

 would force upon their philanthropy, and has nobly resolved upon 

 self sacrifice, by taking upon himself the whole of these onorous 

 duties. Thank heaven ! we live in enthusiastic times. Great men 

 do not spare themselves. We find a patriot for every place, and our 

 church is in no want of martyrs. 



TENDER MERCIES OP THE " GREAT UNPAID." We have this 

 month been favoured with several interesting specimens of the bles- 

 sings of the " Great Unpaid." One, more particularly, relates to the 

 Earl of Guildford, who has permitted a tenant, Mr. Henry Boys, to 

 be proceeded against and fined, under the new Game Act, thereby 

 taking advantage, as he supposed, of a clause in the Act, to invalidate 

 a clause in his granted lease. So paltry a proceeding appears to us 

 not only derogatory to the high bearing which ought to characterize 

 a British nobleman, but inconsistent with the duty of an honest man. 

 To grant a lease conferring certain privileges for the consideration of 

 a certain rental, and then attempt to withdraw those rights for which 

 money had been paid, under the shelter of a subsequent Act of Par- 

 liament, is a proceeding only worthy of a Staple's Inn attorney. If 

 his Lordship, instead of an Earl, had been a pettifogging lawyer, and 

 plastered his name on the door-post of some obscure inn of court, his 

 reputation would doubtless have secured him an abundant practice. 

 It is greatly to be pitied that nature so unsuits men to the situations 

 they occupy. Mr. Boys appealed against the conviction at the East 

 Kent Session, and succeeded in quashing it, though only by the ma- 

 jority of one among the forty magistrates present. 



A case at the Quarter Sessions at Chichester appears to have 

 been visited with a monstrous penalty, more particularly the as Duke 

 of Richmond, who bears the reputation of a liberal-minded nobleman 

 was in the chair. A Mr. Elliott, a farmer, prosecuted two persons,
