" RINGING THE CHANGES."—OIIt of tl e two to t
hundred causes tried at the " Cobbler's Chancery
in
Kingsg4te-street, there are seldom less than forty or so for
niis-rhanrie—•' giving a sovereign for a shilling"—a half so-
vereign for a sixpence. and sometimes a half-crown for
halfpenny. Most of the innocents who make these 01
mistal:Ps are at the race who never took anything beyond
their reach, and who pri le themselves upon newel hinjutiog
noboa:y ! The 'wolf otitesuch matters lies in the practee
of the Court, and Mr. Lawrence, the plaintiff in the pie'
sent case affords an instructive lesson to all who deal in
tail or detail.
Mr. Dusoto—The plaintiff sues for 10s, what is it for?
—Mr. Lawrence (Lb., pla:ntiff) elevating a remarkably sea`
thnental pug nose "Vy sir, as this--I rocs to this ear per-
son's for three-pen'orth of spinnidge (spinach) and tif6
1).-nn'orth of roobub, and in mistake I gives half-a-sJv'ria
for a sixpence! This ear was on a Sunday an:l at
soon Oliver I diskwcred the mistake I ruri'd agin, but
the %varmint on'ey grin'd at me, and said sh:e never seed no
suv'rin, nor no half sth'rin nayther."
Mr. Desoto— How much money had you in your pocket.
Lawrence—Vy, six shillins,
one penny-piece. and a half
suv'rin.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Dusots—Then how could you possibly give
pence, when you knew well you bt.,d'nt one? LaWrollee--
Vy sir 't., as so dark. I gave it her in the room where the
Vy, donkeys was!

Mr. DUBOIS—Pray whi:xe do you reside, sir? In Hitrts:

Mr. DUBOIS—Is your wife in court?) Defendant
sir. Here she is, speak up, Sally.
The defendant's wife was sworn, and the testirnealinfs,
questionable-looking personage, calling herself a arcis
maker, was also adduced.

Both persisted in the statement of the defendant'''. e
that the plaintiff had given a sixpence, a silver sixpenc
and no more.

As all parties swore so remarkably glibly, the Jul et
missed the case, at the same time expressing their,reg.nr
that litigation for such objects was so readily and ene"b,
available.

HOW TO GIVE A DIRECT ANSW ER.—A coal-deal e.,1 •
the talley system, summoned an individual for Bs., the vlubt
of some coals that had been supplied to him. The ue
was not disputed, only the mode of payment.
Mr. Dußois—How will you pay this ? Defendant....
Carn't pay much, sir.
Mr. DUBOIS—But how much a month will you Pal;
" Oh," said the defendant, " I must leave that to %cot. 0,
Mr. DUBOIS—Are you the defendant's wife? 'l)lheile
dant—Yes, Sir ; I was married to him ; but, the el)
turn'd out werry bad.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Dußoxs—Very likely ; but now, pray he ur
enough to state how much a month you think your
band can pay ? Defendant—He carn't pay any think'
Mr. Dußois—What is your husband ? Defendant
He's very ill, Sir ; very ill. ne.
Mr. DLTBOIS—WeII ; what is he when he's well? "
fendant—Why, Sir ; then, Sir, he's out of work. •e•
Mr. Dußuis—My good woman, you misunderstand 00;
what is your husband's trade or calling ? Defendant'''. „)
a'int got no trade, Sir, and never calls nothin.--(Laughtel
Mr. Dußois—And what do you do ? Defendant"'
does nothin, Sir, only looks arter my husband.
Mr. DUBOIS—Then be good enough to tell the --
how you live. Defendant—We lives how we eau. Sir.Ves,
Mr. Dußois—Have you any family? Defendant Sir, six children ! ,
Mr. DUBOIS—Are they all at home ? Defendant--",
Sir, they are all dead and buried !—(Laughter.)
The force of patience could no further go, and its mr. aje
bois cut short the colloquy by ordering payment to be 111-
at the rate of three shillings per month.

It is said that the Duke of -Norfolk is about to 4
pose of Worksop Manor, with the fine mansion and Park':no

He who plants trees upon his paternal estate, rc PI
a debt to his posterity which he owes to his ancestors: 0
gentleman whose lands were more extensive than fertile, obis
to plant 1,000 trees on the birch of every daughter, uP°lllOl
waste grounds—which were on an average worth one Pb°o $
each on her coming of age ; thus enabling him to giv., „ea
fortune of 1,0001., without any extraordinary economy -
part.—The Economist.

On Monday the son of J. Martin, Esq., of Sheri
ill
Montacute, placed a loaded gun, with which he was going °e-
to shoot, in the corner of the kitchen, whilst he went for solo
thing he wanted. During the young gentleman's absenceoil
of the female servants too up the gun, and not knowillo
was loaded, presented it at the head of her own sister, Pe'
the trigger, and killed her on the spot.—Bath Gazette.
Considerably excitement has been caused in a fan 1;11 4
of distinction at the West-end, in consequence of a diseovear"
having been made of an affair of the most distressing and 01
licate n tture. The parties implicated in the business are Sre,
to be the wile and nephew of the injured party, who, °II do
turning from the " Senate" one evening last week, was !ill
but too sensible of the fact. It is surmised that the g;ree
parties have absconded together, both having disapil
shortly after the discovery was made. The lady is A Glee
of fascinating appearance and manners, and the partner 0' de
crime a young gentleman qualifying for the bar, whose
does not exceed 20, while that of the lady is 35.

0:1 Monday, at Dublin, on the rising of the .CA •fl.
his Lordship called the attention of the Bar to the presen Al°
t g
secure state of the Court, in respect to depredators.
„the
two months back his chamber bad been broken into, and typ
purse and rubes carried off. The value of the former the
fifty guineas, but fortunately it contained no money Std by
time. On Saturday last the chamber was again entere
means of breaking some panels out of the door. The thie_arp
thieves, however, found nothing on this occasion in tilt ori;ip
ment save a curtain, which was taken away. His Lort10;0
complained that the Board of Works should permit the Co
to remain in so very insecure a state. A barrister obse roeee
that even the very clock in the Hall had, some time agec-bo
gutted of its internal machinery, and nothing left but
mere dial-plate. Ever since, however, it was suffered tu,ra
if.
main so to the great inconvenience of several.--Dublin pay
A competition in walking took place last wee- der-
