ANECDOTES OF .. TIIE LATE
SIR JOHN
BAILEY.—This excellent Judge was amiable in his re-
proofs, as the following two anecdotes will show—in-
deed, it was difficult for him to say or do anything with-
out exhibiting the kindness and benevolence of his heart.
A number of years ago, when trying a cause in the then
Court of King's Bench, some barristers were loud in
their conversation ; on which his Lordship, addressing
the one whose voice was more distinct than the others,

pies were all the poor man had in the world, and it was
very wrong of you to take them. _ You have had a good
character, and I ahall only send you to prison for a
few days."
