THE LAW DON'T REGARD TRIPLES.-Mr. Yardley
delivered rebukes to several persons who applied to him
for summonses for very trivial offences, and said he
would not encourage litigation, as by doing so be
should doing a goad deal f harm.
A woman asked the magistrate for a summons against
another female, for making faces at her.
The magistrate told her to go about her business.
Another woman wanted a summons against a neigh.
hour for saying she kept late hours, and added, "I want
her to prove her words."
Mr. Yardley—The very last thing you ought to wish.
A lighierman next applied against another of the
craft, for using an oar which the offender found ready
to his use in a barge he was navigating.
Mr. Yardley said if the appl cant insisted on a sum-
mons he would grant one, and the result would be that
he should probably fine the man 6d. without costs ; but
if the applicant did not prove his case he would have to
pay the other's costs.
The Applicant—lt is an offence against the water-
men's laws.

Mr. Yardley—If that is the only injury you have to
complain of you are very well off. I shall not grant a
summons against a man who f mod au oar in a barge.
Inspector Griffin, of the division, applied for sum-
monses against oostermongers for causing an obstruction
in the street with their barrows near Stepney Church.
Mr. Yardley—lf they are really obstructions I will
grant summonses. Do you know Latin ?
Inspector Griffin—No, I do not,
Mr. Yardley—Because we have a motto, "De mini-
muff lex non carat"—the law doe-, not regard trifles.
Mr. Griffin said the obstructions were not trifles, but
really serious.

Mr. Yardley granted the summonses.

the pipe and top were of trifling value, bat if he bad gone
to sea wi•hout them the consequences might have been
serious indeed.
