of court by the expedient of filing enormously long an- swers to the plaintiffs' "bills," are getting up a memorial to Lord Morpeth, requesting him not to meddle with the tithe .question next session, as they can settle it without his assistance, in a very satisfactory manner.

The Dublin Mail of Wednesday has a long article addressed to the Clergy, advising them how to proceed to recover tithe compositions in cases where the answers may be expected to be filed.

By proceeding in the Court of Chancery, it is stated the fees would be only one pound, which in the Court of Exchequer might be swelled to 100/.
