geant'then cross-examined the witness; who: in reply., to
his hverroeatories, denitid that he e've'r gave legal ade
vice, • and stated that he was paid in proportion ta' the
amount which he recovered. If nothing was recovered;
he got nothing, but if he' brOirgbt art actionfir lot.; and
got a verdict fur 5/, he received his full amount.
lie admitted that he had attended before Mr. Jairses,
and had be,Al reprern aided' by him: -• By Mr. James;
ho had been accused of extortion; but not by Mr.
Ramshay; nor had Mr. Ramshay ever prohibited him
from practising in the cent.. As regarded the clerk's
bringing the ledger stad day-book, the attempt was to
*bow by whom the orders were giien; and Mr. Rim-
shay's objection was to their admission as evidence of
arty such thine. The name of the clerk whom the judge
called a " stupid, mumbling old blockhead," wit -less did
not know. The principals in thii;!,everal cases he cited-
were not present. Mr. Scene, the High Bailiff (pointed
out to hits) mules* itne, and alter some hreiitatiotthe-
admitted that on one occasion he and Mr.' Statham had
complained openly in court of his extortion.
In answer, to Mr. WhrrmoaE, witness attempted at
some length to expiate away this charge, whiCh he ad,
witted had' been made, but which he asserted had origt•
nated in a misunderstanding, rendered the more easy 'by
the fact that one of the under clerks, who communicated
the tact to rear. Stone, " was not attogether on the most
friendly term ," with witness. The charge before. Mr.
James he explained as the act of "an illiterate wornan,
who kept her accounts in, chalk." •
M'Connel, draper, of L ird Nelson-street,'Liver-
paol, was the next witness called-4bout this time last
year he had brought an action in the County Court
against a per.on Itained Wright, the mate of a Ship, 'for
goods sold and delivexed. Amongst these goods wits
a muslin dress. lie prqied the sale and delivery
to Mrs. Wright, wife of, the defendant; but the judge
said it :was very_ imprudent in witness to sell
a muslin dress to a mate's wife. " A dress of
3s. 6d. was quite good enough for her to
buckle up her sleeves and scrub the floors in." On this
ground, her being a mate's wife, and fur no-other reason
that he knew, the claim was reduced from 14s. to 4s. by
Ur. Ramshay, who thought the more expensive article
should not have been supplied to a person in her sphere.
On other occasions witness had attended the court, and
heard the judge use very uncourteous language to
suitors, both plaintiffs and defendants. He had heard,
him call them stupid fools," " moidering," and "mum-
bling fools," and ask " what were they grinning at?"
At the same period as that of the first ease, to which he
had referred, Richard Martin was suing his employer,
who said he had turned him away for being drunk.
Martin said he was not, and could not be drunk, having
been in the open air many hours, and having had only
one glass of brandy. The judge then took up the case,
and said to the defendant that plaintiff could not be
drunk, having only had one glass of brandy, for he (the
judge) had had three himself. [This statement Mr.
Rainshity appeared utterly, to deny—conversationally,
however; as he was not being examined.] He nonsuited
the plaintiff, and gave judgment for the defendant.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wiwersts—Witness
said he knew nobody present who could corroborate his
statement about the brandy.

By Mr. WHA.TELEY-11r. Ramshay was ,apparently
labcurioss under great irritability;, whether of health or
temper heil knew not. He had heard him threaten to
commit a man if he did not give his evidence as he (the
judge) thought fit. His manner was very violent.. He
sometimes sat up, and then just in the middle of a
Statement would fall back, shut his eyes and seem un-
conscious of all that was going on. Witness had seen
him get up and ask what they were talking about.
Mr. Henry Moss gave evidence to the same effect, and
said that he had been told by Mr. Ramshay that his cases
were got up in a shameful manner, and that he had sub-
sequently withdrawn everything from the court.
On cross-examination he admitted that, though since
Mr. Ramshay's illness Mr. James and Mr. Lowndee hard
sat for some time, he had not gone before them with his
causes; and his explanation of this. was, that it was al-
ways uncertain whether they or Mr. Rs,nashay would sit.
To the Learned Sergeant's next question, .why,. with
this uncertainty in his mind, he ban net hesitated to
sign—as he had signed—the memorialewhich stated that.
during the sittings of those other gentlemen the 'busi-.
ness bad increased, the witness gave no answer.
Alexander M.`Cay examined by Mr. WIIATELKY, said
he was a coal agent living at Paddingtoia, Edghill, Li-'
verpOol. In December last he appeared for some par-
ties in some cases at the County Courte—one, against e
perion of the name of Fairclough, for coals supplied by
IC,bert and William Ford. This case had been brought
forward twice, once in June, once in December. The
first time it came before Mr. Rainihay, the darter was
called, and proved the dehvery of the coal. He stated
that a man was present who called _himself Mr. Fair-
clough. To that the judge said. •• Hew ,do you know
that he was Mr. Fairclough?" The plaintiff was non.
,cited. Before it was so, witntgis-proposed himself to,
give evidence, and stated to the judge that ha knew
Fairclough q site well. That, he had received
the first order from him personally, and that Mr.. Fair-
clough had come to the office witn the second or third.
Then the carter proved delivery to a person calling him-
self by that name. But the judge said there was n;
proof at all; the whole evidence wee no evidence at
all. The witness cited another., case of nonsuit
on the ground of insufficient proof the identity ff
the party to whom the goods were delivered. The carter
had previously delivered a load at the same Ogee, so h..
knew the person very well. This was after an adjourn-
ment, and the judge—who nonsuiteahim—appeared to
be labourine under the accumulation of bodily
disorders, having such an effect upon his mind
as to unfit him for presiding; and further to
be confused in his own mind as to what ho was about;
it appeared too as though he wee; acting under the
influence of wine. All these thingS together rendered
him absolutely unfit to deal with any matters of the
kind. When he came into court--ecarried by two or
three men, as he generally was when witness noticed
him—and supported by a hair cushion in. front, he sat
almost unable to speak for some time, except in a whis-
per to Mr. Stone, who sat at his left.'
•
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, at this point, rose to protest
against a continuance of this sort pf evidence.. My
Learned Friends are here to coneimee your Lordship
that Mr. Ramshay is unfit to discherge the duties of a
judge. His present appearance:here surely sets at
nought all that has been, or can beeaid, of his infirmity,
and I apprehend that common humanity will make your
Lordship refuse to take these topies• into your conside-
ration. They are painful and useleSs;- and, after all, it
they are to be admitted, they go to slow that Mr. Ram-
shay, labouring under the indisposition under which he
wasetaid to labour, was yet detertnined at all sacrifices
to do his duty personally, so fateits in him lay. But
capable though they be of this cOnetrUetion, these topics
are of such a character that they treeieht not to be intro-
duced at all.
The Earl of CARLISLE thoughilhere must be sonic
inquiry on this point, as one of the", liteeations involved
it; but ho agreed with Mr. Sergeant Wilkins that the
witnesses should confine themselv44o answering posi-
tive nnestions, and not volunteer ..statements on the
0140. try Mr, .
WHATELEY—Me. Ramsliai seemed very fret-
ful and peevish, and rather violent then otherwise.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—I labour under this immense
disadvantage. I cannot cross-examine these witnesses,
for I have not been furnished beforehand with the
charges which, on behalf of Mr.. Ramshay,,
have to
meet. If ere had known what theyvece to be we might
have had opposing
witnesses prese!lte and I might have
been ready with topics and points inquiry.
WHATELET —Th., charges wriula have been fur-
nished if an application for them ha-been made.
Cross-examined—The witness said' be had not had
very many cases in the court. He had only twice been
before Mr. Itareshay at all. He had 'had six oases non-
suited in all.
Mr. John Grow% a (.pf,. Liverpool), was
next examined, and saidsolicitor (e-e.
he had heard Mr. Ramshay
apply to persons appearing before him such epithets as
," " Your
" Fool," "You might be a fool conduct is more
like that of a lunatic than anything else," and in one
case, " You appear to be a fool for the purpose of covering
your knavery:', Both words were hsed. He also reCol-
!acted a man of the name of Price, a collector of debts in
Liverpool, coming into court with, sib or eight eases.
Price's enunciation was not very.d44nt. so the judge
said to him; "Don't go on mum,b,lg
,y4cl jumbling there;
what are you talking abOut?" telo you say?- You
are a mumbling old fellow; what b e.

"
I suppose you. are a hedge law er?
~he colloquy pro-
ceeded thus:--" Witness—No, sir, 1.1, not, Judge—

er Who are you
to talk about that? You seem to be eatAng your tongue.
W,itness—l am too honourable tO.,N,,33t.upid. Judge—
Walk out of court; bailiff; turn hies.
out." Two other
cases the witness mentioned; in thejYst of which he
alleged that the judge, in reference olele insufficiency of
evidence, said, `'l sulfar; a rat;
41
tet believe the de-
fendant or her witness;" whilst lay
e second witness
stated him to have remarked, in rre‘e
Felice to the recant
of an Irishman who eppenrA, " 1914 re an Irishmen; I
don't understand Irish; I must 'swell; 1n tin interpreter."
These were all the remarkable worire
rlad, eves in those in-
stances. He recollected a man, a verei- respectable trades-
men, and his Honour said to him,
tt\eng other matters,
" You seem to have no more sensit, than a child of two
years old."" Witness was 'sorry Mei—,
ee that in temper
the judge had seemed " inclomieebleL-
eepricious, and self-
willed.' Witness had'never h
