From The Dan. Pye,s:


Law INTELLIGENcE. Sometime since
complaint was made to Judge Peters, in be-
halt of the crew of vessel who had made
voyage to some port in Russia, that they had
been furnished with bad provisions. while
the council Tor the seamen was arguing the
cause, one of them slept forward and draw
ing from his pocket piece of bread, the CO.
Tor OF brown soap, presented it to his honour
as specimen of their fate To persons ae-
customed to fine wheaton loaves, it appeared
disgusting indeed, and the bye-standers, one
and all, cried shame to fill mems stomachs
with such uDwholesome aliment The Judge
applied the bread to his nose, and finding no.
thing in it offensive to his olfactory nerves,
was tempted to taste it, he nibbled little
piece, it tasted well, and he took large bite.
The Council proceeded at much length
though the dinner hour was fast approach
ing and as he rounded the periods, the
Judge nibbled around the black biscuit until
no more remained.
At this moment the sailor slept up, and
with countenance in which was depicted
real distress, said why you have eaten my
best witness" eyes" said the LAWYER, 90 /
have been remarkipg that the Judge has
been SWALLOWING the EVIDENCE as well
as the LAW" Never mind" replied his
honor, as if awakened from dream, &c ] am
the better able to DIGEST your CAUSE" so
saying he rose, and ordering the Libel to be
dismissed, went home to his dinner
