lItISIi JUDGES.—in his capacity of Judge,
sitting in full Court, with his three coadjutors about him,
Lord NORBURY was almost as ludicrous as in his more
tnmultuous office of jester at Nisi.Prius. I remember
when the CoOrt presented, in hiS person and in that of
Judge 'MAYNE; a most amusing and laughable contrast.—
Never was ROCUEFOITCAULT'S maxim, "gravity is a
mystery of the body to hide the defects of the mind," more
strongly exemplified than in the solemn figure which sat
for many years on Lord NORBURY'S left hand, in his ad-
ministration of the law. By the profound stagnation of
his calm and imperturbable visage, which improved on
GRATIANo's description of a grave man, and not more in
stillness than in colour resembled " a standing pool ;" by it
certain shake of his bead, which, moving with the me-
chanical oscillation of a wooden mandarin, made him look
like the image of Coarucius which is plastered on the
dome of. the Four Courts; by his long and measured sen-
tences, which issued in times of oracular wisdom from his
dry and ashy lips; by his slow and even gait, and his sys
tematic and regulated gesture, Judge MAYNE had con-
trived, when the bar, to impose himself as a great
lawyer on the public. When be 'was made a Judge,
upon the day on which he for the first time took his seat,
Mr. KELLER, one of his contemporaries, and a bitter wag,
came into court, and seeing him enthroned in his dignity,
with his scarlet robes about him, leaned over the bar
bench, and, after musing for some time, while he stretched
out his shrewd sardonic face, muttered to himself, "Well---
MAYNE, there you are !there you have been raised by
yourgrsity,peur,shoinl ea

i,rassti iiidkesrcual ilere
pragmatical This
deep,
.while
was only dark and muddy, was fixed, as if 'f,;!- the purposes
of contrast, beside Lord NORBURY, but SO 141' fi-cp:
nishing the effect of his judicial drolleries, the vailai
lancholy of the one brought the vivacity of his companion
into stronger light. In truth, the solemnity of Judgc-
MAYNE was nearly as comical as Lord NORBURY'S 1111-
moor; and when, seeing a man enter the court who had
forgotten to uncover, Judge MAYNE rose and said, " 1 see
you standing there like a wild beast, with your hat on,"—
the pomp of utterance, and the measured dignity , with
which this splendid figure in Irish oratory was enunciated,
excited nearly as much merriment as the purposed jokes
and the ostentatious merriment of the chief of the court.—
Nothing, not even Lord Noaasnav, could induce his brother
Judge to smile. His features seemed to have some inherent
and natural incompatibility with laughter, which the
Mornus of the Bench could not remove. While peals rang
upon peals of merriment, and men were obliged to hold
their sides, lest they should burst with excess of ridicule,
Judge MAYNE stood silent, starch, and composed, and never
allowed his muscles of rusty iron to give way in any tin-
meet and extra-judicial relaxation. This •union of; the
Allegro and Penseroso was invaluable to the seekers of fun
in the Common Pleas, and it was with regret that the
merry public were informed that Judge MA v Ns: had been
advised by his physicians to retire from the Bench and take
up his residence in France. He went, I understand; to
Paris, where he used occasionally to walk, in the brilliant
afternoons of that enchanting climate, in the garden of the
Tuileries, and, SCOTT'S Quentin Durward tieing then in
vogue, Judge MAYNE was taken for the spectre of Trois
Echelles. —New Monibly Magazine,

The ATTORNEY-GENI,RAI, moved to set aside the
verdict for the plaintiff in this cause. It was an ac-
tion of trover, and came on to be tried before Lord
Tenterden on the 21st of July last, as an undefended
cause. The motion was founded oa,an, affidavit of
the clerk of the defendant's attorney, that he search-
edthe cause-book on- the ~18th of July, and found
that tiii* naie;*tiii -tti% b3nan* jiiry causes I)efore
besides 20 special juries, which were appointed for
the 21st, 22d, 23d, and 24th of July. He apprised
his Master of this, and thinking it could not possibly
come on so earl), nobody was in attendance on be-
half of the defendant, and a verdict passed against
him for 220/. There was also an affidavit that the
defendant was advised he had a good 4fence.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause, upon
an undertaking to pay the amount of the verdict Into
court within a week, and the attorney paying the
costs of the day.
