VIOLENT FRACAS BETWEEN TWO BARRISTERS.

About half-past four o'clock, when tha Court was
about to rise, Mr. HE/ITII, who had divested himself
of his professional habiliments, .addressed a few
words, in a low tone, to the Commissioner, and then
resumed his seat amongst the Counsel..
Mr. WOODROFFI3 now, with indications of con-
siderable excitement, complained of what he termed
a personal insult offered to him in the face of the
Court.

Mr. HEATH denied that he had been guilty of any
thing insulting? either in his language or conduct.
Mr. WoonRoFPE observed, that he had observed
the significant glances which. Mr. Heath had ex-
changed with the Court, and as he passed him be
(Mr. Heath) had muttered that he had no objection
to other persons doing his business.
Mr. HEATH declared that he had done nothing
more than to express to the Court his anxiety to'be_
present at a motion for making a rule absolute in
which he had been concerned, but which it appeared
had since got into other hands.
Mr. WOODROFFE—If you are attending on a mo-
tion, then, why do you not appear in. your wig and
gown, and not in that truckling manner ? •
Mr. HRATII to the Court—ls this language to be
endured, Sir y Would nuy man, entitled to the
name of a Gentleman,be'guilty of such conduct, or
can he be called a Gentleman who is capable of it ?
The COMMISSIONER expressed his disapprobation
of the tone adopted. •
Mr. HEATH protested, that his reason for wishing
to be present at the mgt►on was, to preserve himself
from the falsehoods which he understood had been
uttered behind his back on a former occasion. He
had obtained the rule, and was ready to make it ab-
solute; but it had been got out of his hands fraudu-
lently, on pretence of consulting the party. If any
man said that he had refused to make ►t absolute,
he said that which was false.

Mr, .WooDRpFFE—I was informed that you had
refused,
Mr. ligATH.—You before asserted it as on your
own knowledge. I repeat that, whoever says it,
says what is false. It was natural that I should wish
to be present, lest the statement should be repeated.
Mr. WoowtoFFE.—Your clerk is 'always in
Court, purveying for briefs like a jackal.
Mr. HEATH (to the Court.)—Did you evet
hear such blackguardism, Sir—such perfect black-
guardism
The COURT vainly essayed to allay the storm.
Mr. WooDkon.-r-The treatment which the
juniors have received from that mau is intolerable.
A Gentleman the only remaining Counsel •in
Court, declared that towards him as a junior, Mr.
Heath's conduct had always been marked by courtesy.
Mr. WOODROFFE reiterated his complaint of Mr.
Heath's behaviour, and said, there was a person in
Court who could testify to Mr. Heath's refusal to
proceed with the rule.
A man to whom the Learned Gentleman appealed
now stepped forward, and declared that such was
the fact, and characterized Mr. Heath's conduct as
shuffling and disgraceful. •
Mr. Ifg,yryt again appealed to the Court for pro-
tection against this clan, They were all alike.
Mr. WootißoFFE was proceeding To express him-
self with considerable impetuosity, when the Com-
missioner said to him—" Pray do not compel the
Court to interpose its coercive authority. Depend
upon it, it has the power,
Mr. VirOoDAPFFE.—Oh, Sir, it never will do
so without hearing both sides.
Here the scene ended, and the cowl shortly af-
terwards rose.
