370. _Legal Time._--The town clerk of Exeter, a short time since, in

reply to the question "What is legal time?" said, that "one of the

courts of law had decided (in reference to a young lady becoming of age

in London) that St. Paul's was so." Now St. Paul's, as well as all other

London clocks, keeps Greenwich time. Query, _Is_ St. Paul's time legal

time? Is it so because it is the cathedral clock of London, or because

it is a commonly recognised standard of time for London?
