[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Shortly after I read

your article on " A Victim of the Law " I passed at a street corner a small crowd listening to an orator on Divorce. He was urging the usual ecclesiastical view when a coarse fellow gave him a cruel cut on his right cheek. The orator struck him a blow with his fist and called a constable. " Oho ! " says I, " you apply Matthew v. 32 to others, but you don't apply verse 39 to yourself."—I am,

Sir, &c., F. JEFFERY BELL. The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, S.W. 1.
