HOW TO TEACH ENGLISH.—On Tuesday a Welshman,
named Williams, appeared to prefer a charge against a
man named Cain, of offering him counterfeit coin. He
affected to haw. nn Icnnwlpthre whatpvpr

ltushton, knowing that such excuses were often
groundlessly made, thought that self-interest might elicit
an answer, and asked the complainant if he brought mut-
ton to market. The complainant seemed to understand
this question perfectly well, and replied with great prompti-
tude, and amidst the laughter of the court—" Yes, sir, I
do." Mr. Rushton : " How do you sell it ?" This in-
terrogatory seemed to light up the countenance of the
Welshman, who, no doubt, thought the worthy magistrate
was about to do business with him, and he immediately
answered, "0, yes, hur was sell it at Gd. and 7d. the
pound." This caused a roar of laughter in the court, in
which the magistrate could scarcely refrain from taking a
part. He then told his tale fluently, and the prisoner
was remanded,
