Every person’s life belongs to tlio State. No one can own any properly of his own, ho can only hold it by permission of, and for Uio use of, Uio State as' a whole.


In Uicory this is a beautiful idea],


but in practice it destroys all initiative and self-interest. It would take ^ a vrholo nation of angels, not ordinary men nii'l women, to make Communism in any degree successful.

This is entirely from memory and, of courec, liable to inistakea but I think it is pretty near correct. Tiio two Black Bulls (Castle-street and Castle-gate) Jiavo disapi>oare<l. TIio lln.fiO and Crown Is now tho Starkios’ .tVrms; The Queen was changed to Castle Inn: Calf’s Hoad to Victoria Hotel. The Riclmrtl Parkinson at the Swan was grandfather to Air.

Horriere, a ivick of hounds kept at Coult- liuibti, in Sqirilre JJrijcJdehurst’s time. Old Johnny Slowart ( “ Clioap Jack ” ) built tho Now Inn and put iu Ids son-in-law and dnugh- lor Annabella Rnmsbottom. The .Queen (now Castlo Inn) wa.s built nt tho s;ime time by Honrj* Hordinan and both o\xuied for business a vor>’ short timo before tho CJoroiia- tion. Tho AVhilo Lion ami tho Wliito Horse havo had more tonanUs than anv other two publicliouscs in tho borough, the Craven Iloifor c-oniing a good thinl.
