himself "FAIR PLAY."

_Ques._ Is there any remedy for setting right any misconception that
may have occurred as to the rights and wrongs of cross-examiners?

_Ans._ Yes, the Public might learn what the business of a
cross-examiner really is.

_Ques._ I see, and having done this, can you recommend anything

THE TRAVELLING COMPANIONS.

NO. XXIII.

SCENE--_The Lower Hall of the Scuola di San Rocco, Venice.
British Tourists discovered studying the Tintorets on the
walk and ceiling by the aid of RUSKIN, HARE, and BÆDEKER,
from which they read aloud, instructively, to one another.
Miss PRENDERGAST has brought "The Stones of Venice" for the
benefit of her brother and PODBURY. Long self-repression has

known as "a fit of the giggles," which, however, has hitherto
escaped detection._
