IRELAND'S WRONGS.

TKEATMENT OF THE IRISH IN

OLDEN TIMES.

SOME CURIOUS LEGAL ENACT

MENTS.

Mr J. M. O'Meaghek, the well-known solicitor, has been at the trouble to copy out a number of old laws enacted in Eng land during the last 440 year.?, which speaks volumes as to the manner in which the people of Ireland have been treated in the past by the English statesmen. Origin  ally, Mr O'Meagher intended to have read these quotations at the meeting in St. James's Hull, which was addressed by Mr W. A. McArtlmr last Friday evening, but the lateness of the hour prevented him from giving those present the benefit of his re searches. As some of these Acts give an insight into the legislature of that period, we reproduce them. The first is dated 1447, 26 Henry VI. 4. Ib is entitled, " An Act that he that will be taken for an Englishman shall not use a Beard upon his upper lip alone, the Offender shall be taken as an Irish enemy." It reads as follows : — " For that, that now there is no diversity in array betwixt English marchonrs and the Irish enemies, and so by colour of tho Eng lish marchourstheirish enemies locomc from day to day to other into the English coun ties as English marchours and do rob and kill by the highways, and destroy, the common people by lodging upon them in the nights, and also do kill the husbands in tho night and do take their goods to the Irish men; wherefore it is ordained and agreed, that no manor man, that will be taken for an Englishman shall have no beard above his mouth, that is to say, that he have no hairs upon his upper lip, so that the said lip be once at least shaven every fortnight, or of equal growth with the neather lip. And if any man be found amongst the English contrary hereunto that then it shall be lawful to evey man to take them and their goods as Irish enemies and to ransom them as Irish enemies." The next is dated 1465, 5 Edward IV. 2. This is entitled, " An Act that it shall be lawful to kill any that is found robbing by day or night, or going, or coming to rob or steal, having no faithful men of good name or fame in their company in English ap parel. " Then follows an Act passed in tho same reign which is entitled, "An Act that tho Irishmen dwelling in the Counties of Dublin, Myeth,Vriel,andKildare shall go apparelled like Englishmen, and wear their Beards after the English manner, Swear allegance and take English Surname." It reads as follows: —"At the request of the Commons it is ordyned and established by authority of the said Parliament, That every Irishman, that dwells betwixt or amongst Englishmen in the county of Dublin, Myeth, V'riel, or Kildare shall go like to one Englishman in apparel and shaving of his beard above the mouth and shall be within one year sworn tho liege man of the King in tho hands of the Lieutenant or deputie or such as ho will assign to receive this oath, for the multitude that is to bo sworn, and shall take to him an English surnamo of one town as Sutton, Chester, Trim, .Skryne, Corkc, Kinsalfc : or colour as whito, blacke, browne, or arte or science, as smith or carpenter : or office, as cooke, butler, and that he and his issue shall use this narao, under pain of forfeyting of his goods yearley, till tho premises be done to be levied two times by the year to the King's warrs, according to the discretion of tho Lieutenant of the King or his deputie." In 1537—28 Henry VIII. 15—wo como to ah Act for the English Order, Habite, and Language, of which tho marginal notes only will be sufficient. The Irish habite and apparel prohibited on pain of forfeiting it. Tho English tongue to be commonly spoken and taught to children. Householders to live after English manner. Spiritual promotions to be given only to such as can .speak English, unless after four proclamations in tho nearest mar ket town such cannot bo had.

Oath to be given to such as take orders that he will endeavour to learn the English language, and that a school shall for that purpose be kept in his parish taking the customary stipend.

Penalty 6s 8d first offence, 20s second, bonetico void on third offence.

Again in the same reign is "An Act for Marieng with Irishmen. For as mochc as by marriage, alterage, and fostering of the King's subjectes of this his lande of irelando with his (Iraces IrisUe rebel great lack of obedience hathe growento His Highness and his mootit noble progenitours of their people within this lande, and by tho same diver.se enormities, myechieves and inconveniences have ensued and comen to his loving sub jects from tyme to tyme for the more parto during these two hundred yeres, as ovi dentlie to every of the King's subjects of his this lande for the by me being having knowledge plainly ded and doth ap pear That no persono

Later on, in 1556, 5 and 4 Mary L 15, we have "An Acte against bringyngo in of Scots, reteyninge of them and marriong with theym.

''Forasmouche as diver.so rcbclls, and outlier naughtie and evill disposed persoues of the Irishrie within the realtno of Ireland, have often tymes heretofore broughLe into this rcalme of Ireland Seotts, and onther estraungere, being men of waire and have given them wages, bonaght, and outher enterteynementes within this rcalme, to supporte, aide, and maynteyne theym in the tymes of their rebellion and otherwise, 600 as by the reason thereof Scottes have of late inhabited in the Northe partes of this realme in severall places, and have oute thereof expulsed the verrie inhabitants of the same ; a hyndrance and greate lettee of the King and Queen's Majesties affaires within this realm ; and alsoo the Scotts aforesaid for their better mayntenaunce to remain and abide within this realm, have and doo dailie ailie theymselves by marriage with diverse of the Irishmen in those partes.

London, October 5. Thk "cat is out of the bag" at last. Tho 80-callod "now book" upon which Her Majesty has been so busily engaged latterly is neither a novel nor a life of Prince Leopold, but a popular bio graphy of the Prince Consort by tho late Principal Tulloch, the proof sheets of which the Queen expressed a wish to per sonally revise. The work will contain a number of anecdotes of the Prince especially contributed by Her Majesty.

The only London papers which havo noticed the Hughes-Hallett scandal aro the " Pall Mall Gazette," tho " Evening News," and tho "St. Stephen's Review."

The2-year-oldbrothcr to Ormonde,a very handsome colt called Ossory, will make its debut, next week in the Middle Park Plato. The Dukeof Westminster visits Newmarket specially for the occasion.

Great things are expected from a novel called " Poor Nellio," by tho brilliant author of " My Trivial Lifo and Misfortuno," which was so successful two years ago. Mudic alono has subscribed for 300 copios (900 vols).

Madame Patti has no notion of lagging superfluous on the stago she has for 20 years so splendidly adorned, and will finally retire in 1889. Sho expresses great con tempt for performers who, after bidding tho public farewell with any amount of fuss, roappear alα Rintovi. It niny therefore bo taken for granted that her valedictory tour of Europe and the States will bo final. Pafcti's last appearanco on any stage will almost certainly bo at Covcnt Garden in cither " La Traviata " or " II Barbiore."

Amongst tho lot of yearlings of her own breeding sold by Mr Mar.ton (tho Dowager Duchess of Montroso) to her rival, Lord Calthorpo, last summer, wcro tho two crack fillies Seabreeze and Satiety, who have between them pretty well swept the board this season. At Nowmar ket last week, Seabreeze added threo more valuable stakes to her winning ecoro. Moreover, tho dark fister to Huloise, Thebais, and Clairvanx, who was also included in this lucky purchase, is said to bo better even than the cracks named. Lord Cnlthorpe, however, made a sad mis take when he concluded tho weedy colt by Isonomy— ln Bounds was not worth train ing, and sent it forthwith into tho sale ring. John Porter picked tho youngster up for a trifle and christened "him Mon Droit. Tho colt has developed into quite as smart a two year-old as either Seabreeze or Satiety, and already won close on £3,000 in stakes. Tho Duchess's luck was cor tainly out when sho Bold Seabreeze, Satiety, Devotee, and Mon Droit for £5,00(J. Any ono of these animals would now fotch that sum easily.

Despite tho magnificence of the scenery and mounting and the irresistible Mimi's "pretty" acting as Perdita, "A Winter's Talo " has nob " caught on " at tho Lyceum, and Gilbert's comedy, "Tho Wicked World," has been hurriedly put in rehearsal. This, you may remember, was the last of the famous series of fniry plays at the Hay market initiated by "Tho Palaco of Truth." Ib w<lß produced on the.4th of January, 1873, and ran just a year. Tho pieco would not, however, have achieved this success but for the author's brilliant parody, "Tho Happy Land," which reacted on it. To appreciate one, people had to see the other. Miss Ander son will, of course, play Selene, and Forbes Robertson, Ethais. By-tho-way, although Miss Anderson denies a Undrense for her handsome jeune premier it is dis tinctly noticeable that her mimic love making is less frigid with him than ib has ever been with anyone else.

" Ruddigore " shows signs of giving out at the Savoy, and the long-talked-of revival of " Pinafore " is said to be pending. The extraordinary popularity of " Dorothy " has always been a myetery to me. Nevertheless ib m popular. On Thursday evening last, when the opera completed what the management call "its first year's run," there wasn't a seat in the house to be had for love or money. Altogether "Dorothy" has drawn, it is said, £55,731 5s and some odd pence. Not a bad twelvemonths' takings fora small house, eh? The production of Collier's "Sultan of Mocha " at the Strand does not seem des tined to set the Thames on fire. Ib may, however, run through the autumn. The music is generally pronounced melodious, but lacking in individuality, and the libretto is feeble.

Mrs Henry Wood's posthumous novol, " Lady Grace," is, I regret to have to say, a very indifferent work, quite unworthy " Johnny Ludlow " or the author of " East Lynne." It begins well, but fades away feebly to nothing. Another story from this pen will run through the "Argosy" uext year.

B. L. Farjeon provides the Christmas number of "Good Words," and Sarah Tytler that of the "Sunday Magazine." Arrow smith's annual will be a story by Walter Besant, entitled " Kate Regina." " Atalanta," the new magazine for girls between 16 and 17, contains the opening chapters of a promising little story by Mr Rider Haggard. It is called " A Tale of Three Lions," and relates some thrilling experiences in South Africa of our old friend Hunter Quartermain. In the initial portion wo are carried off to the goldfields of Pilgrim's Rest in the Transvaal, and learn how Quartermain and his son Harry, after months of despairing labour in a seemingly worked-out claim, come upon a pocket of virgin nuggets.

" The Gaverocks," which is incomparably the best of the many novels which Mr Baring Gould has at present in hand, will be published in three volumes next week.

Edna Lyall's "Knight Errant" is out at 6s, uniform with "Wo Two," &c, and Miss Corelli's "Romance of Two Worlds" has been added to Bentley's Favourite Series. New 2s novels worth note include Miss Collins's " Prettiest Woman in Warsaw," Phillips's crude and cynical "Dean and His Daughter," and "Tiff," by the author of "A Great Mis take." "Her Own Sister," in the Family Sfcory-Teller Is series, ie legs traeby than many of its brethren,

Dr. Hubert's Experiment.

December 16th, 1878. I had a queer and a terrible dream last night; but then, my dreams are always terrible—as grotesquely terrible ad airy ever conceived by the morbid imagination of' Edgar Poe. What a feeling of relief it is to awake and find that tho fearful ex periences through which wo have passed had no foundation in facts. There is a pleasure in this return to the actual lifo of disappointment and toil, which fully com pensates for the terrors of sleep.

This was my dream

I found myself wandering about in a vast solemn forest. Through tho openings in the foliage orhead I caught sight ot a dull, leaden .■•-.. y. Not a streak of sunlight brio-htened up tho sombro tints of dark green. It was silent and still as the grave. No sound of singing birds—not the faintest breath of wind stirred the branches. Silence, loneliness, and desolation reigned around me, and I felb that intense awe and terror which we always feel when brought to recogniso our littloncsa in tho midst ot immensity. As I wandered aimlessly about —hoping that I might escape from the maddening loneliness, and yet conscious ot tho futility of my efforts—l came to a stunted pine-tree. On one of tho lower branches, about 6 feet from the ground, there hung suspended a human head. I approached the ghastly object without any dread ; but rather with a feeling of rehof; for was I not in tho presence of something which, not loflg ago, belonged to a living world? In gazing intently upon the features it seemed to me as though I had seen them before—they seemed so fami- , liar to me. All at once it flashed upon me ! I recognised the scar in the temple ! Yee ; there could be no doubt about it; tho head was that of my brother George. Tho face was not such as when I last looked upon him ; but as it might bo now, after ten years' absence. I touched tho cold forehead —and I awoke. Somowhero in Horaco I have read—

" Post mediam noctem cum BOinnia vera." But then in our days, as a matter of course, wo do not believe in dreams. Science has explained the phenomenon quite satisfac torily—(atall events to tho satisfaction of the learned physiologists)- on purely material isticgrounds. Still, itappears to me, after all has been said, that in dreaming we are brought face to face with a mystery whilh vaguo phrases about unconscious cerebra tion cannot account for, and which demon strates —well not exactly demonstrates, but at all events suggests—tho possibility of man consisting of something besides tlosli and bone. For is it not a fact that the mind, during its nocturnal consciousness;, displays powers which it could nevor mani fest in its wakeful state? While dreaming the most ordinary peison is endowed with tho faculties of un expert dramatist. He depicts scenes, conceives plots, invents characters, and composes dialogues which he puts in tho mouths of these characters. But my diary is already well-filled with metaphysical speculations, and I shall not further dilate upon this subject. I wonder what has become of Georgo ? This dream has somehow awakened a distinct recollec tion of cortain words spoken by our father in tho days of our childhood. I remember him saying that ho dreaded George's future because of tho Uutnoss of the top of his head and tho width across tho ears ; and after years corroborated tho correctness of these apprehensions. Ho was a cruel, stubborn, and untruthful boy, and he grew up an un scrupulous man. His youth was an inces sant period of dissipation, and ten ycaraago ho loft England to escapo the consequences of flagrant dishonesty. Perhaps ho has altered and under different circumstances become a better man. Ho had not gone too far for reformation. Worse men than lie have reformed.

Juno 3rd, 1879.

Though I havo been in Paris moro than thrco weeks, I liavc only made one friend in all the time. This friend is Dr. Hubert, a Gorman, who is a very learned man—in fact, v veritable scientific cncylopiedia—a classical scholar, a bold experimentalist and a brilliant conversationalist. Hβ is also a man of kindly feelings and a warm heart, and ho is beside ~ not to forget ono of his chief points of char acter — an enthusiastic vivisectionist. I Strange that Buch opposite, seemingly irre concilable qualities should bo united, but they often are. There are some men who seem to consist of a dual personality. They arc one in private life, another in their pro fessional careor. They have ono character for tho hearth, another for the forum. Robespierre as a private individual was sympathetic and tender-hearted, and would not injure a lly ; but as the loader of a theory he would guillotine a nation. Last evening I spent with Dr. Hubert and his family. After dinner he suggested that wo should retire to his study for an hour or two's chat. I must confess I would rather have remained by the side of his pretty daughter chatting about German music and literature, but, submitting to the inevitable, I went with the doctor. "The day after to-morrow," said the doctor, when seated, "I shall perform the most interesting experiment of my life." "Some other poor monkey or rabbit to bo massacred on behalf of science?" I asked. "No," replied the doctor, "this time I experiment on a higher class of animals— on a human being." " On a human being," I repeated, startled and horrified. " Well, perhaps I should rather say a part of a human being," said the doctor. " You know I have long held the theory that by decapitation death is not sudden, but that consciousness continues in the head for some time, and ceaees only gradually, for as the head contains the organ of the mind, and as the brain performs its functions as long as it is supplied with blood, it follows that thought and feeling linger in the severed head until the blood has completely left tho brain. Were it now possible to inject a continued supply of blood into the severed head, its life could be prolonged for a long time. This I intend to verify the day after to-morrow. On that day a murderer is to be guillotined, and in the in terests of science the authorities havo given me permission to experiment on his head. I shall be pleased to see you with me on that occasion. You will never get another such chanco of witnessing an interesting experi ment. I have hired some rooms in the im mediate vicinity of the place of execution, and as soon as the knife of the guillotine has fallen, the head will be brought to me as quickly as the bearer can run. You must certainly come." Though 1 am naturally a timid man, the terrible has always had a strange fascina tion over my mind, and, though my blood ran cold at the thought of the sickening sight, I promised to come. October 3rd, 1879. Thanks to my youth, I have now nearly recovered from tho effects of that awful shock; but in the months which have elapsed since then I havo become an aged man, and tho terrible scene haunts me still with the tenacity of Frankenstein's monster. On tho morning of the day on which I was to witness Dr. Huberts experiment I rose very early, and as there was some time till the hour of execution, 1 looked up the old tile of newspapers, and read the trial of the condemned man. He was a foreigner, though no one knew from what country he came, and he had himself preserved the most dogged silence as to his antecedents befoie he came to France, where he had been 5 years, and where he was known by the name of Dβ Lisle. His career in France had been an unremitted series of villainies and crimes, culminating in the mur

dor and robbery of an old miser. I finished reading the trial without feeling a single spark of pity for the man. He had richly deserved his fate, and all feeling ot commiseration being eliminated from my mind. 1 thought myself strong enough to witness the dread experiment. At the ap pointed time I was in the doctor's rooms only a couple of hundred yards away from the scaffold. I found, besides tho doctor, two of his fellow scientists who were to aid v im. There were also two herculean-look in v«• fellows with bare arms. They were the guVects from whom the doctor was to trans f " so tho necessary amount of blood for t! resuscitation of the severed head, and I I nucrhfc ,-n looking at thorn that they could stand losh '* » good deal of blood with im nnnitv I , " 0 doctor explained to mo the nrooess of fc-ansfusion. Over a table was i, sanded a fine, which was to receive tKead Y*ff very excited and very nC Th°e U door was , thrown violently open, and in rushed a ma* with a box in his hand. In an instant of* time Dr. Hubert had opened it and fix wl the ghastly, bloody contents in tho ring. I cave a loud shriek when I looked at it. I recognised tho scar and the, features as those "that I had seen once, in a Jim Before mo was tho head pt the guillotined murderer—my brother. O. *■• amio -

The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in ail parts of the world and in all grades of society, for upwards of fifty years.

Advico to Invalids.—lf you wieh to obtain quiet, refreshing sleep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and as suage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous media, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you will pro vide yourselt with that marvellous remedy dis covered by Dr. J. Collis Browne (late Army Medical Stall), to which ho gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valu able remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy knownfor Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHRORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all at tacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Meningitis, &c. From Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists Medical Hall, Simla, January 5. 1880. To J. T* Davenport, Esq., 33, Great Russell-street Bloomsbury, London. Dear Sir,—We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine. Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne.has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy for general utility, we much auestion whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native d&z&slts, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will bo evanescent. We could multiply in stances ad inUnitum of tbo extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea, and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have wit nessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this mcdi cine than Collis Browne's from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best.and also from asense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of epinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHRMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. —We are, Sir, faithfully yours, Symes and Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION.—Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was, undoubtedly, the Inventor of Chlorodyne; that the story of the defendant Freeman was de liberately untrue, which, he regretted to say, had been sworn to See " The Times," July 13, ISCI. Sold in bottles at Is IJd, 2s 9d, 4s Cd, and 11s each. None is genuine without the words " Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne' on the Govern ment stamp. Overwhelming medical testimony accompanies each bottle. Caution.—Beware of Piracy and Imitations. Sole Manufacturer-J. T. DAVENPORT, 33, Great Russell-street. Bloomsbury, London.
