equally singular, ludicrous and
disgraceful. Two limbs of the
law, who had vainly endeavored
to convince each other of the jus
tice of their cause by words, un
dertook to enforce their argument

astonished gaze of the Justice.
He recovered speedily, however,

their briefs, if not to their senses,
by threatning to commit them to
pVi?on for contempt of Court.
