Chelmsford County Court: January 15th, (before J. T. Abdy, Esq., Judge): An Interesting Case: F. C. Halls v. W. Marson and J. Bruce: This is a case possessing features of unusual interest. It was an action of replevin, the plaintiff alleging that his household goods have been wrongfully distressed upon and seized by the defendants. The damages were laid at £5. … Mr. Scarlett then stated that the house now occupied by the plaintiff was a freehold house, formerly owned and occupied by a Miss Mills She died about ten years ago, a spinster and intestate. The heir-at-law was her nephew, Arthur Pincent Mills, of Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland … … Various certificates were put in with a view to show that Arthur Pincent Mills was the rightful heir. The certificate of the marriage of his father and mother was missing, but there was an attestation to the effect that the register had been burnt in a fire. A long discussion followed, Mr. Scarlett contending that he had proved his case, but his Honour ruling that he had not done so, but, on the contrary, wished him to assume everything. It was not satisfactorily proved that Pinsent Mills was the heir-at-law or that the rent when obtained, would be forwarded to him … … His Honour observed, further, that there was no proof that Pincent Mills was alive at the time of the distress …

Ireland’s Church in Rome: There is No St. Patrick’s Now: it will be a startling discovery to many Irishmen perhaps to most of them, to know that there is no longer any such thing in Rome as their national Church of St. Patrick. Apparently, there is scarcely any knowledge of the fact that it has vanished into space, and that the grand plan proposed, seconded, and partly carried to completion, is a thing of the past altogether. Without any intentional secrecy, but none the less in a way which is not known, the Church of St. Patrick has ceased to exist … (description of plans and attempts to build) … By this time, it was pretty clear that St. Patrick’s was never going to be built. The work actually done up to then was a “white elephant” on the hands of the Augustinians, so they were busily looking about for a purchaser. There could never be a St. Patrick Church when those in charge of the work were looking anxiously around for purchasers. Some looked to the Australian bishops, who might want to buy the house for a Roman college; others looked to the Roman communities. Two of these became bidders — the Little Company of Mary, which has a hired a nursing house on the Via Castelfidado. and the Benedictine Nuns, ruled by Lady Abbess Pynsent. These bought it for a handsome sum, and at once set about getting it ready for occupation. The Augustinians left it almost at once, and the nuns are now installed in the house, while they are begging to build on the foundations of the church. The spot is no longer St Patrick’s; it is St Benedict’s. The lady abbess is an Englishwoman, who formerly ruled a Benedictine convent in the diocese of Plymouth. Leaving that place she lived in Rome for a few years in a lay dress while preparing to open a new house in Rome. The house is now open, and she has a large community of English-speaking and Italian nuns and lay sisters. A peculiarity of the house is its wealth. Not a few heiresses have entered it, and one of the most recent acquisitions was a rich American lady: so, there is no St Patrick’s now.
