BULLS AND BLUNDERS.

[To TEA E1117011 07 SI. "Sr.crreo.") SIR,—I am glad you have not closed this correspondence, as I have called to mind two instances which I had omitted from my late letter. A Recorder of Dublin, trying a own in which a pedestrian sought damages from a cyclist for having knocked him down, described the defendant's bicycle as "a snake in the grass which came upon its victim from behind like a bolt out of the blue." Another Irish orator described an unlucky investment is a house which the purchaser could not let, yet must needs keep in repair, as "a white elephant tied round the owner's neck, which kept burning the candle at both ends."—I am, Sir, &c.,

E. S. ROBERTSON.
