A CURIOUS VERDICT.—So much has been said in par-
liament, and in the newspapers lately, of gentlemen of the
turf, and the very dubious nature of that appellation, that
the following ,-ase comes curiously in point. A question
arose as to the winner of the stakes in a race, there having •
been a condition that the horses should be ridden by gen-
tlemen ; and it was disputed whether the winning horse
had been ridden by a gentleman or not. The judge
finally addressed the jury in these words: " Gentlemen
of the jury, when I see you in that box, I call you gentle-
men, for I know you are such. Custom has authorised
me, and, from your office there, you are entitled to be
called gentlemen ; but, out of that box, Ido not know
what may be deemed the requisites that constitute a gen-
tleman ; therefore I can give you no direction." The jury
returned a verdict, that he was not a gentleman. The
next morning, he challenged the two counsel, Law and
Scott. They answered, they could not possibly fight one
who had been pronounced by the verdict of a jury to be
no gentleman —Blackwood's Magazine.
SomNAmnuLism.—A Smyrna journal gives the follow-
ing extraordinary account of a somnambulist .—" In:the ca-
pital of the island of Syria, there is a young man from a
town on the border of the Black Sea, aged about eighteen
years, tall in stature, end of robust constitution, who
went to Syria to follow his studies at the Gymnasium.
It frequently happens, that, almost immediately after
falling asleep, he gets up and makes most remarkable de-
clamations Sometimes he recites very long speeches
from Xenophon with perfect correctness, although when
awake he cannot remember more than a few lines. One
night he wrote the theme he bad to deliver the next day.
In the morning, having overslept himself, he was vexed at
not having time to prepare himself for his tutor : but
great was his astonishment at finding on his table his sti-
pulated composition, written in his own hand, folded, and
ready to be given in. The professor was surprised at
finding it so well done, and still more so when the young
scholar became embarrassed, and unable to answer certain
questions put to him on the subject. Doubts were enter-
tained as to its being his own work ; but a companion who
slept in the same room with him came voluntarily forward
and declared, that in the night he saw his fellow-student
sitting at the table, writing, and calling upon his father to
assist him in composing his theme. When in a state of
somnambulism, he plays at cards, and uniformly wins.
This is attributed to his having his faculty at that time of
knowing what cards were in the hands of the rest of the
party. When in this state, also he has been taken by his
companions to a tavern ; and when, after eating and
drinking with them, he awoke, and was greatly astonished
at finding himself where he was. It appears, that, in his
somnolescent state, his sense of feeling is entirely sus-
pended, while all the other senses are alive and active.
At first, the slightest touch would wake him ; but now he
is totally insensible to any violence, even that whic4
would in others, or in himself, when awake, produce acute
pain. In general, on coming out of his state of somnambu-
him, he is so weak and languid as to faint away. One
fact is more extraordinary than the rest, One day, when
in his dormant state, he announced that three persons,
whom he named, were coming to see him. In an hour
after, these three persons entered his room."
