PROFANE SWF-MSG.—At the New Bailey Court-
house, Salford, a case of this kind was brought io:fore Mr.
Trafford, magistrate, yesterday, upon a lIIMM9IIB, ratiier
reluctantly granted, at the application of a master silk
manufacturer against his setvant. Mr. Smith the it:plicant,
said the offender's name was John Bucklo y, a labourer in
his employ, and he was in the habit of using oaths which
wero most shocking to bear. On the defendant com.ng
iuto court the Magistrate said, " Buckley, do you pl. ad
guilty of swearing profane oaths ?" Buckley—" Tea,
when I'm out of temper." Magistrate—" Thee the act of
parliament says you most pay a shilling." The court fees
made the fine into one of four shillings, which was paid.
Mr. Soni h was beginning to lecture the man in court, when
Mr. Trafford said, " I suppose you take the man into
your employ again ?" Mr. Smith—" I don't know that."
Mr. Trafford—" Because you can then finish your lecture
at Was instead of here."
