THE COUNSEL AID THE BUNDLE OF BRIEFS.—
SINGULAR SCENE.—At the Sheriffs' Court yester-
terday evening, before Mr Sergeant Wheeler, a case was
tried in which the amount sought to be recovered was £6 6s
for a china dessert service. A leurned counsel appeared for
the plaintiff, and called one witness who proved an admis-
sion of the debt and a promise to pay. Upon this his
Honour gave a verdict, when the following discussion en-
sued :—Counsel—l apply for costs of my attendance as
counsel. His Honour—l do not see how I can grant costs
in such a case as this. Counsel—The debt is over £5. His
Honour—Yes, but it is not a case requiring counsel. Conn-
841—I practise in the county courts, and I can assure your
Honour that it is the rule to grant costs in all cases over £5.
His Honour—And I also practise in county courts, for I am
judge of one. I know of no such rule. Counsel—lt has
been found to work very well, and for that reason I asked
for costs. Your Honour would not get counsel to come at
all if it were not for the rule. I have three more cases here,
and counsel can only get one guinea, so he looks to this
rule. The way it works is that counsel takes a bundle of
briefs. Hie Honour (interrupting)—Really, sir,
I know
nothing of bundles of briefs or arrangements between coun-
sel and attorneys. All I know is that in oases where debts
for
like the present are admitted I see no necessity counsel.
Counsel—Only that rule is found to work well, and we look
to costs, or should not come at all. If we do not get costs
from the court your Honour will not see us here at all. His
Honour—l cannot help that, sir; and I must say that it is
a most unusual thing for counsel to talk about bundles of
more explanations, and I shall not allow
briefs and money matters in this way before the public. I
do not require any
costs in this case. The matter then dropped.

The Paella of Egypt has just lost a daughter,
aged
15, who was betrothed to one of his High-
ness's aide-de-camps, Since her death the Viceroy
has not left his residence at Ghise, and receives no
one.
Sad accounts have been received of the state of
the growing crops in Lower Hungary. The Ilirnok
states from authentic information that the frost has
destroyed nine-tenths of those of colza four-tenths of wheat.
The loss of the autumn sowings in the Olfold alone amounts
to four millions of florins (ten millions of franos)."
