NEWCASTLE-MAYOR'S COURT.

AN UNFORTUNATE FIDDLER.—On Wednesday,
James Clooney entered the Mayor's Court to prefer
a charge of robbery against his wife. The com-
plainant, as he walked along the room, thrust out
his head a full foot from his body, and exhibited to
their Worships a phiz so redolent with fun, frolic,
and broad humour, as is only found among the lower
classes in Hibernia, and which proclaimed him to be,
at once, a real " Jim" of the Emerald Isle.

Plase your Honours (said Misther Clooney, in
breathless haste), plase your Honours, I insist upon
my wife, who was the dare jowel of my shoul, being
prosticuted for a great big robbery. •
Here he stopped, and the Court desired him to
state the particulars of the awful charge.
Place you then, isn't it enough to murther the
mother's son of me for vevatiou, that my wife should
stale away the very fiddle that was used to, put the
dare shouls in gond humour at a wake or a wedding ?
ALDERMAN—WeII, my good man, how was it
stolen ?—You know we can't interfere between you
and your wife. Mr. Clooney (with indignation)7
Och ! not interfere! then by the powers. there's
neither law., justice, or robbery ! You see,: your
Worships, the matter's as Clare to be seen as the big
posts they drive through the ships in the sa (point-
ing. in the direction of the Tyne). I just goed outs
and sure didn't I see the fiddle hung on the peg, and
didn't my wife run away with another to a
publicanist with it, and didn't they get just the
worth of it in the dare cratur, and hav'nt I lost the
fiddle, and isn't that enough for your Worships to
prosticute her for ?
Here the volubility of Jem was cut short by a
little round-faced woman, who having slily followed
her enraged lord and master into the room, bad
hitherto kept at a respectable distance, but who noei
stepped forward with an evident determination to make
a duett of the complaint before their Worships.
ALDERMAN—Who and what are you ?
Mrs. Clooney, who seemed to be a woman of°
few words, answered very composedly—" big
wife."

ALDERMAN—WeII, you have heard what your
husband charges you with—is it true ?
Mrs. Clooney looked Mr. Clooney in the face'
and again aniwered with the most provoking Cool'
ness—" It is."

Mr. ClOoney—There ; by the shoul of me, ;01
that enough to raise a prosticution tell PI
what it is, your Worships; she'll think no more 01
swallowing a big measure o' the cratur, than
would o' just taking a rale roasted praty to dinner'
ALDERMAN—WeII, my good woman, and wilily
did you do with the fiddle ?
Mrs. Clooney—And sure it's with the publicanist'
We gave him the fiddle for just Is.6d. worth of
This confession set the " Jim" of the Emerald
Isle into an amusing passion, and he was advised 111
the Court to make application for redress to tbe
Court of Conscience.
Mr. Clooney—l4 it conscience, my jowel ! illy
St. Patrick ! devil a conscience has she, so b°"
willl get at it tell you what it is, your Honour'
she and the other—(Here he thundered out an er
probrious epithet)—would just spend more tinpt
vies afore you hear the cock o' the morn, than 11
earn in a week. Court o' Conscience ! Sure 01.
Belfast ? Sure I'll go into no ether court in rh'•
don't I live in a court that's as long as any street L
place, for I see I'll get no justice.
So saying, the unfortunate fiddler walked off
oil
high dudgeon, followed by his taciturn wife;, ° •
thus terminated a scene which kept the Court in
roar of laughter, and which we have vainly ended'
voured to describe.—Newcastle Journal.
