that which is and has been. You1

The de endants were charged
with an affray. In m'aking up
the jury his honor found it neces
sary to yield a Jegal point. Finally
the jury was agreed upon and
eight of the twelve were i of the
superfine grade, not more mpor
taot persQnages, howeYer,; than
Miss Gould, Miss Wheeler- Mils
flobson, Miss Barton, Mrs.
Senator Logan, Mrs. Stonewall
Jackson, Miss Arnold(who started
the flobson kissing) and the
Qaeen of Madagascar.
It was as steel clashing on steel
when those lawyers resorted to
every degree of legal strategy
known to the protessioh tb make it
appear that the entire blame rested
.with the! other fellow while the
Solicitor scooped both into his
list of desperate criminals. Wit

indeed the defendant of a bad
cause always wants it to be, The
patient and intelligent jury
listened attentively to four
speeches each imbued with a
r - - - i - .
strong faith in the the justice of
his cause. Blackstone and Vance
were quoted as authorities in la-r.
We cannot reproduce the -flights
of eloquence, the strains of pa
thos nor the delineation of the
ane points in lezal lbcic. The
Solicitor,e specially, acquitted him-
self well. The summing up and
recapitulation of the testimony by
his honor, usually called the
charge to the jury was very clear

well-known fact that his honor

retired under the escort of Sheriff

the verdict in due form which was
that the defendants are guilty.
Solicitor Hurry prayed judgement
and his honor pronounced that

It being the second offence for
Mr. Nothighs, the court was in
flexible to all appeals and the
sentence stood. The sheriff then
adjourned the court which was
in : reality, we think,1 quite
instructiye and profitable to the
school as it , was entertaining to
the audience. v
