THE RIGHT AND 7'HE WRONG SIDE of THE ROAD.

ATHY PETTY SESSIONS, Aram 27.
Paley Hogan, a gawkish lump of a " gassooo," was brought up
before the sitting magistrates this day, in custody of two policemen,
charged with disobeying their orders to keep his own side of the
road coming into the market. The prisoner, with some difficulty,
mounted the green cloth, for his hip bad been put out of joint two
or three years ago, at a hurling match, and one of his legs renuiDed
ever since much shorter than the other. The jaunty motion which
his body bad acquired since this accident, endowed Patcy with at
sir of suavity, as he hobbled along the table towards the worthy
magistrates, that he was altogether unconscious of. Indeed, every
bow he made to the Court, as he stumped the short leg down upon
the green cloth, was, in reality, more the effect of his lameness, that
any intentional courtesy on his part towards that august body.
Dlsestrate—Well, Hogan ! how is it that I we you on the greet
cloth ; I thought you were the hat boy in the country there wool,:
be any cause of complaint against ?
Patcy—" Faith, Member Robert, as to my martin here, d'ye see,'
(quoth Patcy, grasping his left elbow with his right hand, mt.
twisting it back and forward with dire intent of removing sonic trou-
bksome customer,) " plain your honour, a blind man might hare
found his way, pa after the same manner I did myself, for 1 was
led into court all the way from Bsaick.shthreet, betune these two
gintlemin," (pointing to the police.)
Ist Policeman—Please your honour, " the Captain" ordered u,
to watch all the roads coming into the market, and to take every
horse and car into custody, that would not keep at his own side of
the road. We were stationed on the Queen's County road, near
Woodstock, when prisoner passed us in an ass's car. We called
after him, and told him repeatedly to keep his own side of the road.
but he pulled to the other side in spite of us; so then we puma,
him, and took him into custody.
atcy—Och 1 the spalpeen! d'ye hear what he's althur satin:
Now, plain your honour, be's runnin away wid de story quite en-
tirely ! I was stain in ie asses' car, bekayse of my lameness I
cou'dn't walk, plebe your honour, an'l had the two bits ov thum-
ropes from the winters in my hands to guide the crathur, whin I
passed these gintlemin, and they bawl'd out to me to keep my own
side iv the road. Now, plaise your honour, I didn't think I
owned e'er a bit of the road at all at all, since my uncle Darby an
Jim Blurrin lost the pursintmint for Mick Nowlan's half mile.
Jim, shore your honour knows, used to mind the half of the
road near his own cabin door, an I, wid this same crathur iv an
ass, used to mind my uncle arby's half, at the side where we live;
so, Oahe your honour, whin these gintlemin bid me keep at nip
own side of the road, by varies, I pulled my best to get the
crathur over to the side my uncle Dar) 's cabin is on, an thin they
ran up In a morthal great passion, biddin me pull to the left; well
your honour, jist to plaise thin, I did pull the rope in my left hand
till I was near twishtin my ahowlther out iv joint, as well as my
hip, bud all wouldn't satisfy shim, though I was near drivin the
poor crathur ov an ass through and through the hedge Into Misther
Maxwell's gardin, among the rosy. an poseys an the nurse an the
ebilther. ((reat laughter followed Patsy's explanation.)
Magistrate (to the Police)—Did be kap to his left hand ?
Ist Policeman—He certainly did, your honour, but it was to tht
right hand side of the road.
Magistrate—How is this—it seems a strange contradiction?
2d Policeman—Oh, your honour, he was sitting In the ear, with
his back to the ass, and his right hand on the left side, and his left
hand on the right side. (This paradoxical exposition threw a new
light on the subject.)
Magistrate— Tha I see it is a mistake, owing to the boy's *-
nausea ; I will discharge you, Hogan, without any int, as it is
your Hat offence, but you must, in future, keep to the proper side
of the road.

Patsy—l thank your honour. Bud Shure " the Captain," wid
all his doing, ought to put up a porklimathin, tellin hue what side
to keep ? Arab ! by the powthers, thin, your honour, if dam:
people are to be thwarted thire.way, for every hand's turn that
cums into "the Captain's" head, bud he'll spills the market, an
sorro a mutner's son will come into it at.all-at-all. Wasn't he
goin to send Billy Hinniasey to jail last Sunday mormsen, beksys
he ketcised him makin a mash of biled piyates an Marabout for the
sow that was just afther fanowin the baker's docen or bonyeent. I
wonder be didn't send these gindemen (pointing to the police) to
bring the sow to an account for makin such a mornin's work iv it
Here Patsy matched up his straw hat, made his obeisance to the
bench, accompanied by a swing of the pendant leg, and hobbled
down from the green cloth, bobbing his unintentional bows to the
auditory, whom he had kept in roars of laughter, by his display of
rustic simplicity.
