Palmer promptly arranged bond which was furnished by his lath er and was released from custody. Long before the trial began the court house was packed to every inch of handing room. No trial of recent vears has attracted as much interest as this. \V. 0. Fitzgerald was the first witness called and he testified that he came upon the wreck and found the three, young men all sitt’ng ;n the Nash roadster, James Stagg had. Ralph Smith almost lifeless and Albert Mooneyjiam unconscious.

London, Eeli. 1. —The coming wed ding of the Duke of York i ~ stor Abbey, and tlie exti occasions on'which the mai mony is performed there, h . „ raised some discussions as to what, persons can claim this privilege. Undoubtedly the Dean and Chaj>ter of the Abbey have tlie final and deei ■ sive voice in this matter. They could, if they desired, even prevent-any royal weddingN from taking place there, so absolute in their pojver and control of the famous shrine. But, on the other hand, there are certain people whom neither Dearn or 'Chapter would ove.r oppose if they de sired to he married at Westminster. The first of these is any member of the royal family. But only very sel dom indeed have 4he.se demanded the right of marriage there. The last notable case, as will he remembered, was that of Princess Mary and Ijord Lascelles. And in 1010 Westmin ster was the scene of the marriage of Princess Patricia of Connaught to Com mander Ramsay, R. N. Before that wedding hundreds of years, had elapsed since a royalty was married in the Ab bey. x It may he said with fair truth that any clergyman connected with the Ab bey would h ave the right to dt mand thiil his .wedding should he celebrated there, and that this claim would bo admitted to the Abbey authorities. One notable cleric whose* wedding took place whilst In 1 , was a member of the Chapter was the present Bishop -of Durham, then Canon Hensley Henson, j His marriage was celebrated at the j High Altar of the Abbey, as the Duke j of York’s will be.. The next class of persons who have probably good claim to be wedded at Westminster belong to families who have certain prescriptive rights, of ex tremely ancient standing, with the Ab bey, as regards marriage, christening and burial. The families of the Dukes of Northumberland and the Marquises of Salisbury, together with a few other old peerages, come in here. This is the reason why a few years ago Lady Beatrice Gore, who was a daughter of Lord Salisbury, asked leave to be in the Abbey, and her desire was granted. f Lastly, there is another section of the community which lias the right to claim tin' use of the Abbey for a wed ding, if this is celebrated within a certain period. These are the "King’s Scholars” of Westminster School. Os course, nowadays no. l/oy would be allowed to retain his scholarship there if lie marries during his term at the school, which ends, roughly, when lie. is nineteen years of age. But in past centuries the married scholar was not entirely unknown in the great FrMglsh schools. \ The Westminster "Scholars” are, by royal enactment, actully members of the Chapter of the Abbey, and are duly admitted as such at ail annual service held by the Dean after each new ele/*- titon. Owing to this fact, they are believed by certain legal authorities j to be able to demand successfully the right of being married in the Abbey, just as. should they die whilst Schol ars, they would have sofiie claim to he. buried in its precincts. • Jr is noteworthy that, though no ac tual scholar ever could marry nowa days, nevertheless, when "old boys” do | ask to be allowed the privilege, it is j seldom denied them, especially if they have resided within the Abbey pre cincts, apart from their actual resi- J deuce in college. •A notable case in point was that of tlie son of a former headmaster of Westminster School, and formerly a Scholar, who was wedded in the Ab bey a few years back in King Henry Yll’s Chapel.
