Something in the Way of "Great Expectations."—When Jabez S. Balfour arrives, no doubt his first visit will be to the editor of the Penny Illustrated Paper, in which paper appeared the portrait of him as "Mayor of Croydon," wearing his chain of office—alas! the chain!—that led directly to his identification and arrest. The photograph was taken first and Jabez was taken afterwards. Will Jabez S. Balfour call in at the office of the P. I. P. and say, with Joe Gargery, "Ever the best of friends, ain't us, P. I. P.?" Not quite likely.
Proposed Change of Name.—If Sir Whittaker Ellis agrees to the scheme for adding Bute House Estate—a Bute-iful property—to Richmond Park, thus preserving it from the builders, then will he be gratefully remembered as "Wiseacre Ellis."
"Bar Gold."—Fees to barristers.
