WEXFORD.-It was blowing a whole gale of wind
late last night from the E.S.E. when we went to
press; and we greatly apprehend that the shipping
lying at the quays will suffer.—Wexford Independent
of Saturday.
COURT OF REVISION.
During the burgess revision on Saturday, Mr. Jus-
tice Jackson entered the court in his judicial robes.
His Lordship stood for a few seconds at the end of
the bench, and then pronounced in a loud voice,
" This Court of Error is adjourned to Wednesday
next."—(Roars of laughter.)
[lt appeared that the Court of Error stood ad-
journed to the first day of term, and that, in com-
pliance with the formalities of that court, it became
his Lordship's duty to order a further adjournment,
in the manner above described. The effect, was, how-
ever, astounding. Assessors, counsel, agents, and
the public joined in an involuntary burst of laughter,
which was renewed as often as the words, " this court
of error" flashed across the recollection of those
present.]
The court adjourned at six o'clock. Freeman's

JERSEY NEWS.
ROYAL COURT, OCT. 29.

(Before Sir JOHN DE VEULLE and Messrs. BISSON
and PELGUE.)
MR. WILSON'S " ApoLoGy."—The following ap-
peared in a second edition of the Jersey Gazette, pub-
lished on Tuesday last :
The confident announcement by the creatures of
the Royal Court on Saturday last, that Mr. Wilson
intended to betray himself and the great cause of
which he is the representative, by offering a humble
apology to the Court, and paying the fine, although
greatly damped by the announcement in yesterday
evening's Gazette that Mr. Wilson had never pro-
mised to apologise, and would never apologise, at-
tracted a considerable number of persons, anxious to
witness right trampled under foot by brutal power.
Thty were, as we predictedrdreadfully disappointed.
Between nine and ten o'clock, the Deputy,Vis-
count proceeded to the gaol, and knocking at Mr.
Wilson's prison door, demanded admittance.
Mr. Wilson (from within his barricaded door)—
Who's there ? Mr. J. De St. Croix—The Deputy-
Sheriff.

Mr. Wilson—What do you want ? Mr. J. De
St. Croix—l am come for you by order of the chief
magistrate.
Mr. 'Wilson—l shan't come.
1 Mr. J. De St. Croix—lt is in consequence of your
own request that you are sent for.
Mr. Wilson—'Tis false ! I newer asked to be
brought before the Court.

Afr. J. De St. Croix—You will be forced to come.

Mr. Wilson—Go to the -. •
This amusing dialogue was bawled by the two
speakers through the barricaded door within which
Mr. Wilson had securely intrenched himself.
The Deputy-Sheriff, finding his case hopeless,
descended the stairs, and as a last resort, induced the
governor of the gaol to try his persuasive eloquence
upon the obdurate prisoner.
Mr. Kandich having knocked at the door, the old
query as to who he was was put by Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Kandich—l am the governor of the gaol.
Mr. Wilson—Well, what do you want? Mr.
liandich—The Deputy-Viscount, who has sent for
you by the chief magistrate, is waiting for you.
Mr. Wilson—l don't believe it. Where's his
warrant ?

This characteristic question dumfounded Mr.
Kandich, and he walked off to report no progress to
the Deputy-Sheriff, who, in his turn, departed on
the same pleasant errand to his employer, the chief
magistrate.
The Court was to open at ten o'clock, but it was
half an hour past that time before the consultation in
the parlour was concluded. Finally, the judges (!)
named above, looking anything but pleasant and
sprightly, took their seats, said their prayers, and did
penance—which consisted in being obliged to hear
the Deputy-Viscount assure them in lugubrious
accents that either Sir John de Veulle had cruelly
hoaxed himself and them, or that he had himself been
played upon by some malicious wag.
Sir J. de Veulle (holding a small piece of paper in
his hand) —Gentlemen, I have summoned the Court
in order to hear an apology from Mr. Charles Carus
Wilson, but it appears that he won't come. Mr. De
St. Croix, you have, I believe, been to the prison ?
The Deputy-Viscount, leaning against the Attorney-
General's desk, replied in the affirmative. He said,
he had left notice at Mr. Wilson's house on Saturday;
and then related, with some trifling variations, the
sparkling dialogue we have givenabove.
Sir John shook his head, and looked volumes of
something; we did not precisely distinguish what.
Sir John having looked a whole encyclopaedia at
vacancy, next looked at the Attorney-General.
The Attorney looked solemnly at Sir John, but
word he spoke not.
_ • _ _

" The oraeles'were dumb."

Sir John, recovering himself with a violent effort,
shook his plumes, and called out lustily, " Thomas
Allier, Jean Baudains."

'Twas a fresh case

Thus ended the Wilson apology.
We have again to repeat Mr. Wilson's solemn
assurance that his note to Sir John de Venue con-
tained nothing approximatißg to an offer to apologise.
We may as %ell also take this opportunity of stating
that all the stories circulated about English lawyers
returning money-orders sent to them, Sir J. Graham's
letter to the bailiff, &c., are just so many ridiculous
fabrications.—Jersey azelte.
