SHARP PRACTICE.—SCENE AT CHAMBERS.--A
client of mine had his declaration on a bill of exchange
demurred to, because, instead of the words " in the year
of our Lord 1834," he had written " A.D. 1834." lat
tended the late Mr. Justice Littledale at chambers, to
endeavour to get the demurrer set aside as frivolous, or
leave to amend on payment of a shilling; but that punc-
tilious, though very able and learned judge, roused to
do either. " Your client, sir," said he, " has committed
a blunder, air, which can be set right only on the asual
terms, sir. A.D.,' sir, is neither English nor Latin, sir.
It msy mean anything or nothing, sir. It is plain, sir,
that here is a material and traversable fact, and no date
to it, sir." 'Whereupon lie dismissed our poor summons
with costal The demurrer had been spun out by a
pleader to an inconceivableeotiott. length in ringing the changes

ception in colour among the urns is one of peculiar
shape also, with handles of a light red ware. Over one
of the black urns was a flat cover of light red ware, and
the bones thus protected were perfectly dry and clean.
Another urn was covered with a shallow vessel of the
same material. Close by on' small ura were found two
bottles of different size, shape, and colour. The con-
tents of several of the urns have been examined, but
eight or ten remain as found. In addition to these a
mall tomb, consisting of four large thick tiles or bricks,
set on edge, was found ; its contents were bone ashes
and some fragments of thick glass ; n-ar this was a flue
of one brick, the exterior ornamented with scroll. work ;
also a small drinking cup ; and at another part of the
ground the remains of a lamp-stand, of Itud. They
are intended for the Colchester Museum, and will form
an interesting addition to its local antiquities.—Essex
