MATHEMATICAL HONOURS.

The Syndicate appointed May 16, 1838, "to consider whether any and what alterations can be advantageously made in the present mode of examining the Candidates for Mathematical Honours," beg leave to make the following report to the Senate :

There are at present five days of examination, commencing on the Wednesday preceding the first Monday in Lent term. It is recommended that in future there be six days of examination, commencing on the Monday preceding the first Monday in Lent term.

It is further recommended that the present division of the candidates into four classes be discontinued; and that in future the same questions be proposed throughout the examination to all the persons whom the Moderators shall judge, from the public exercises in the school, to be qualified for examination as candidates for Mathematical Honours.

That, as at present, the examination on the first day extend only to such parts of Pure Mathematics and Natural Philosophy as do not require the methods of the Differential Calculus.

That on the second and third days the questions from books include, in addition to the above subjects, the parts of Natural Philosophy somewhat more advanced, and the simple applications of the Calculus.

That on the fourth and fifth days the examination extend to subjects of greater difficulty; care, however, being taken that there be in each paper a due

proportion of questions selected from the lower subjects.

That on the sixth day all the questions proposed be selected from the higher parts of the subjects of examination.

That there be not contained in any paper more questions than students well prepared have generally been found able to answer within the time allowed for that paper.

That during the examination the distribution of the candidates in the examination-rooms be left to the discretion of the Moderators.

That the days and hours of examination be arranged according to the subjoined plan.

That the questions proposed on the first four days be fixed upon, and the answers to them examined by the Moderators and Examiners according to the plan.

That the questions proposed on the last two days be fixed upon by the Moderators and Examiners in common: but that the duty of examining the answers to those questions be apportioned amongst the Moderators and Examiners according to the plan.

That the result of the examination be published in the Senate-house on the morning of the Friday succeeding the first Monday in Lent term, at 9 o'clock; but if it should happen that the relative merits of any of the candidates are not then determined to the satisfaction of the Moderators and Examiners, that such candidates be re-examined on that day.

That this mode of examination commence in January, 1829.

THE QUEEN, v. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

In this case Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE delivered the judgment of the court. This was an application for a Quo warranto, calling upon the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge to show by what authority he claimed the right of licensing public houses within the borough of Cambridge. The case had been argued with great ability, learning, and research, and several objections taken to the right of the Vice-Chancellor, and they were grounded principally on the fact that there had been no grant by charter, and that the 5th and 6th of Edward VI., which gave certain privileges to the University of Cambridge, did not mention the granting of alehouse licenses. The court, however, thought that the Vice-Chancellor had exercised the privilege beyond the time of legal memory, and it must suppose that the University, being very much in favour with the crown, a grant would be easily obtained, and that, being a learned body, it would be framed in such a way The court was as not to be invalid. more particularly led to that conclusion from the circumstances attending the University at an earlier period. The students then attended in greater numbers, and a more youthful age, and their finances being limited, ale was the beverage which they were in the habit of drinking, and supervision of the ViceChancellor was therefore more necessary over the houses where ale was sold. Under all the circumstances, the court was of opinion that this rule must be discharged.
