Ax absurd mistako led on one occasion to the temporary confinement of the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland in a madhouse. His Lordship bad recei.edan nnfavourable report of this particular asylum, and being anxious to judge for himself, he drove up in a closed car, without having sent any intimation of his coming. When the porter refused him admission, he said at last —'lam the Lord Chancellor.' 'Oh, Lord Chancellor, eh ?' said the porter, with a grin, aa he opened the door. 'Step in; it's all right. We have seven of you hero already. One got loose hist week with the Emperor of China, but I thought both of you were back.' By this time his lordship was within the gate, and a batch of warders summoned by the porter to take him in charge. It was not until he had sent for his secretary that he obtained hie release.—lnverness Courier.
