The Arms Epidemic in Ireland and New Zealand Policy
The article contrasts Irish fear over arms with consensus that 3000 extra guns won’t inflame rebellion and urges strong measures to protect life and property.

Case of the Norths restitution of children debated
A summary of prior legal proceedings before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce involving a widow named North seeking custody of her children after converting to Catholicism. The Lord Chancellor’s partial removal of a prior restriction is noted, with criticism of a Morning Contemporary for errors and calls for appeal to Lord Cottenham.
Case on Catholic Faith and Infant Guardianship
The article discusses Lord Cottenham's ruling on a custody-like matter where no property exists and the father died solvent. It highlights a principle that children should not be diverted from their deceased father’s faith in infancy, notes the court’s decision as inconclusive, and references the wider power of the Court of Chancery to intervene against a living father to protect a child’s religious upbringing. It mentions the Shelly case as context for guardianship and religious upbringing.
